ITEM 1.02 TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On December 31, 2018, the Wyle Electronics Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) was terminated by Arrow Electronic, Inc. (the “Company”), the sponsor of the Plan. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Wyle Laboratories (“Wyle”) in 2000, the Company is responsible for retirement benefits for certain employees that Wyle provided under the Plan. Benefits under the Plan were frozen as of December 31, 2000. The Company has made other arrangements with the participants in the Plan and is terminating the Plan to reduce administrative burdens. Prior to the termination of the Plan, the Company adopted an amendment to the Plan that provided eligible plan participants with the option to receive an early distribution of their pension benefits.
