EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) filed on December 15, 2010 by Arrow Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the Company’s amending its accounts receivable securitization facility. Specifically, the Original Form 8-K stated that the maturity of the facility had been extended until June 14, 2012. The correct maturity is April 22, 2012. Exhibit 10(n) to the Original Form 8-K is also being refiled to include Amendment No. 18 to the Transfer and Administration Agreement. Therefore, the corrected statement is as follows:
ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On December 15, 2010, the Registrant amended its accounts receivable securitization facility to extend the maturity date to April 22, 2012 and to make certain other changes to the terms of the facility including an increase in the size of the facility to $600 million. The revised program is a 16-month agreement with the right to request a 12-month extension. The original agreement was set to expire in March 2011.
The asset securitization program is collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of the company’s North American subsidiaries and is conducted through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation, a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. The asset securitization program does not qualify for sale treatment. Accordingly, the accounts receivable and related debt obligation remain on the company’s consolidate balance sheet.
