Tech Data Corporation (Nasdaq: TECD) (the Company) today notified the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Form 10-K") for the year ended January 31, 2013 within the prescribed time period because it requires additional time to complete the required financial statements and restatement described below.
