Systemax Inc.
11 Harbor Park Drive
Port Washington, New York 11050
2
April 29, 2011
Dear Stockholders:
You are cordially invited to attend the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Systemax Inc. (the
“Company”) which will be held at the Company’ s corporate offices, located at 11 Harbor Park Drive, Port
Washington, New York at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, June 10, 2011. Your Board of Directors looks forward to greeting
those stockholders who are able to attend. On the following pages you will find the formal Notice of Annual
Meeting and Proxy Statement.
For the Annual Meeting, we are pleased to use the “Notice Only” rule adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission to furnish proxy materials to shareholders over the Internet. We believe this process will
provide you with an efficient and quick way to access your proxy materials and vote your shares, while allowing us
to reduce the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting and the costs of printing and distributing the proxy
materials. On or about April 29, 2011, we mailed to most stockholders only a Notice of Internet Availability of
Proxy Materials that tells them how to access and review information contained in the proxy materials and our
annual report for Fiscal 2010 and vote electronically over the Internet. If you received only the Notice in the mail,
you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail unless you request the materials by following
the instructions included in the Notice.
At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to: (1) elect seven Directors; (2) approve a non-binding, advisory
resolution regarding the compensation of our named executives; (3) consider and act upon a non-binding, advisory
proposal on the frequency of the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executives; and (4) ratify the
appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’ s auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Your
Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” proposals (1), (2) and (4), and for “EVERY
THREE YEARS” with respect to proposal (3). These proposals are more fully described in the accompanying
proxy statement.
Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting in person, it is important that your shares be represented and
voted at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, please vote your shares over the internet at www.proxyvote.com or by
telephone at (800) 690-6903 until 11:59 PM (EDT) on June 9, 2011, or if you received a paper proxy card, date, sign
and return the proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided or to the address set forth in the voting
instructions therein. Your cooperation will ensure that your shares are voted.
If your shares are held in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee,
you must provide your broker with instructions on how to vote your shares in order for your shares to be
voted on important matters presented at the Annual Meeting. If you do not instruct your broker on how to
vote in the election of directors and on compensation matters, your shares will not be voted on these matters.
I hope that you will attend the Annual Meeting, and I look forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely,
RICHARD LEEDS
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
