MERRIMACK, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 27, 2013--PC Connection, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCCC), a provider of a full range of information technology (IT) solutions to business, government, and education markets, today announced that its Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.40 per share payable on December 26, 2013, to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 12, 2013. The total amount of the special dividend payment will be approximately $10.5 million based on the current number of shares outstanding. While PC Connection is pleased to be in a position to pay a special dividend again this year, any declaration of future cash dividends will depend upon its financial position, strategic plans, and general business conditions at the time.

"The Company has successfully leveraged its assets and maintained a strong balance sheet. We believe that this special dividend is an appropriate way to reward shareholders for their support."

PC Connection intends to continue to invest in market opportunities, including expansion of its CloudConnection™ and other professional services offerings.
