The Vernon Hills, Ill., company also plans to use some of the proceeds to exercise its right under an equity clawback provision related to $175 million senior secured notes.

CDW reported 2012 net income of $119 million on revenue of $10.13 billion. In 2011, the company had net income of $17.1 million and revenue of $9.6 billion.
