Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
In connection with the approval of the share repurchase program (as described below), CDW Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release on May 13, 2026, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 (and the related information in Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $1 billion increase to the Company’s share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated or other transactions. The timing and amounts of any purchases will be based on market conditions and other factors including but not limited to price, regulatory requirements, and capital availability. The increase to the share repurchase program is effective immediately and is incremental to the approximately $484 million unused in the repurchase program as of March 31, 2026. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of its shares, and repurchases may be modified, suspended, or discontinued from time to time without prior notice.
