BlueStar's expertise and TD SYNNEX's global reach to create new opportunities for partners.

Hebron, KY - October 7, 2026 — BlueStar today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by TD SYNNEX (NYSE: SNX), a leading global technology distributor. The transaction represents a significant milestone in BlueStar's history and reflects the strength of the company, its people, and the specialized value it has delivered to its customers, OEM vendors, and channel partners for decades.

Founded on a customer-first philosophy and the belief that “second best is not an option,” BlueStar has built a reputation for expertise in digital identification, point-of-sale (POS), RFID, mobility, digital signage, networking, IoT, robotics, and related technologies. As a value-added distributor, BlueStar will remain focused on delivering specialized knowledge, trusted relationships, and dedicated partner support to the channel and the broader IT community.

"This announcement is a testament to the hard work, commitment, and passion of our employees, customers, vendors, and partners," said Ryan Girvin, Chief Executive Officer of BlueStar. "Together, we have built a company known for its expertise, innovation, and customer focus. We believe joining TD SYNNEX creates an opportunity to accelerate our growth while preserving the specialized approach and entrepreneurial culture that have defined BlueStar from the beginning."

"BlueStar's success has always been built on people and relationships," Girvin added. "We are excited about the opportunities this creates for our employees, customers, and vendor partners, and we are confident that TD SYNNEX shares our commitment to delivering exceptional value through expertise, service, and innovation."

TD SYNNEX's interest in BlueStar is driven by BlueStar's specialized expertise, strong market position, and established presence across key global regions. The combination is expected to provide customers, vendors, and partners with access to expanded resources, broader capabilities, and increased market opportunities, while continuing to deliver the deep industry knowledge and high-touch support that distinguish BlueStar.

“BlueStar’s success is built on the expertise of its team and the strong relationships they have developed with partners,” said Patrick Zammit, Chief Executive Officer of TD SYNNEX. “We’re excited about the specialization BlueStar would bring to TD SYNNEX, including a focused go-to-market approach that has differentiated the business and created value for its partners.”

Until the transaction closes, BlueStar will continue to operate as an independent company, and business will continue as usual. Customers, vendors, and partners can expect the same teams, processes, programs, and commitment to service that have been the foundation of BlueStar's success.

The proposed acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Broadhaven Capital Partners is serving as exclusive financial advisor to BlueStar.
