Arrow Electronics Announces Additional $200M Share Buyback

Arrow Electronics, Inc.

announced today the approval by the company's Board of Directors of the repurchase of up to an additional $200 million of common stock through a share repurchase program. The company has spent approximately $900 million on share repurchases since the beginning of 2010. This action will permit the company to continue repurchasing shares of its common stock as market and business conditions warrant. The program can be terminated at any time. The company may enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases under the program. A Rule 10b5-1 plan would generally permit the company to repurchase shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so under certain securities laws.
