ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED.
The capital stock of CHS Electronics, Inc. ("the Company") to
be registered on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., is the Company's common
stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock").
Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as
may be declared by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). Additionally,
holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock
held of record upon all matters presented for action by shareholders. Shares of
Common Stock have no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for additional
shares. The Board may, from time to time, declare, and the Company may pay,
dividends and other distributions with respect to its outstanding shares of
Common Stock in cash, property or its own shares of Common Stock which are
legally available therefor. Upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company, all
such holders are entitled to receive pro rata the assets of the Company
available for distribution to its shareholders.
The Common Stock has no preemptive rights and no subscription,
redemption or conversion privileges. The Common Stock does not have cumulative
voting rights, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock voting for the election of directors can elect all
members of the Company's Board. A majority vote is also sufficient for other
actions that require the vote or concurrence of shareholders. All of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
ITEM 2. EXHIBITS
