Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On August 11, 2011, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Avnet, Inc. (the "Company") adopted amendments (the "Amendments") to the Company’s By-laws (the "By-laws"), which are effective as of such date. The principal features of the Amendments are summarized below.

Section 1.2 was revised to clarify that a majority of the Board may call a special meeting of the shareholders. Section 1.14 was revised to require that shareholders who submit a proposal or give advance notice of a director nomination disclose all ownership interests (including derivative interests) in or relating to the Company’s securities and all rights to vote with respect to any security of the Company, and to provide that any shareholder nominee submit a written presentation and agreement, which will be provided by the Company upon request. Section 2.2 was revised to clarify that the number of directors constituting the Board will be fixed by a resolution of the Board. Article IV was revised to provide that the Chairman of the Board need not also be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and to revise the roles of the other officers of the Company.

The foregoing description is not a complete description of the amendments and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the By-laws, as amended, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
