      Repurchase Program to Offset Dilution from Equity-Based Compensation

    </p>
    <p>
      MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 28, 2011--Arrow Electronics,
      Inc. (NYSE:ARW) announced today the approval by the company&#8217;s Board of
      Directors of the repurchase of $50 million of common stock through a
      share repurchase program. The company expects to repurchase shares to
      offset the dilution from the common stock issued in accordance with
      equity-based compensation plans.
    </p>
    <p>
      This action will permit the company to repurchase 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.
