Jul 01, 2003

MELVILLE, N.Y.--June 27, 2003--Arrow Electronics, Inc.

The net proceeds of the offering will be used to repay the company's 8.20% senior notes maturing on October 5, 2003 ($207 million principal amount outstanding at March 31, 2003) and for general corporate purposes.

"As a result of the successful completion of this offering, we have been able to provide for the repayment of the senior notes due in October at a very attractive long-term interest rate," said William E.

The notes were sold through an underwritten offering led by Goldman, Sachs & Co., JPMorgan, and Banc of America Securities LLC as joint book-running managers; Credit Suisse First Boston as lead manager; and Fleet Securities, Inc., HSBC, Scotia Capital, and Wachovia Securities as co-managers.
