Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Systemax Inc. v. Trigyn Technologies Inc. In June 2002 the Company filed a complaint in the U. S. District
Court for the Eastern District of New York against the software developers of a new customer order management
software system that was being written for the Company's internal use, seeking restitution of all payments and other
damages totaling approximately $19 million. The software developers have filed an answer and counterclaims, denying
the Company's allegations and seeking approximately $9.4 million in damages. The Company believes that the claims
of the software developers are without merit.
The Company is also a party to various pending legal proceedings and disputes arising in the normal course of
its business, including those involving certain commercial, employment and intellectual property related claims, none
of which, in management's opinion, is anticipated to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, there were no matters submitted to a vote of the Company's
