      Electronics Announces Additional $600 Million Share Repurchase Program</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 12, 2018--Arrow
      Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: ARW) announced today the approval by the
      company&#8217;s Board of Directors of the repurchase of up to an additional
      $600 million of common stock through a share repurchase program. The
      company has repurchased approximately $1.1 billion worth of shares since
      the beginning of 2014.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Since our last authorization two years ago, Arrow has grown
      tremendously. We are generating 21 percent more sales and 33 percent
      more profits,&quot; said Michael J. Long, chairman, president, and chief
      executive officer. &#8220;Our company&#8217;s growth and the effective management of
      our balance sheet enabled the Board of Directors to enhance our
      commitment to returning excess cash to shareholders.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      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.
    </p>
