Arrow Electronics Announces New $1 Billion Share Repurchase Program

Key Terms

rule 10b5-1 regulatory

Rule 10b5-1 is a regulation that allows company insiders to buy or sell their shares at predetermined times, even if they have access to non-public information. It acts like setting a schedule in advance for transactions, helping prevent accusations of unfair trading. This rule provides a way for insiders to plan trades transparently, giving investors confidence that these transactions are not based on hidden information.

rule 10b-18 regulatory

Rule 10b-18 is a regulation that sets strict rules for how a company's executives and employees can buy back their own company's stock from the market. It helps ensure that these buybacks happen in a fair and transparent way, reducing the chance of market manipulation. This is important for investors because it offers protection against unfair practices and promotes confidence in the integrity of the stock market.

securities and exchange act of 1934 regulatory

A U.S. federal law that set the rules for trading public securities, requiring companies and market participants to disclose regular financial information, keep trading records, and follow fair-dealing standards, and it created the government agency that enforces those rules. It matters to investors because these requirements act like a safety and transparency system—making company performance and trading behavior easier to verify and reducing the risk of fraud and unfair advantage.

forward-looking statements regulatory

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Board of Directors of Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) has authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $1 billion of the company’s outstanding common stock. Effective May 12, 2026, this program replaces the company’s existing share repurchase program.

This authorization will permit the company to repurchase shares of its common stock as market and business conditions warrant through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchases may continue from time to time, as conditions permit, until the number of shares authorized to be repurchased have been acquired, or until the repurchase authorization is terminated, whichever occurs first, and the company has no obligation to repurchase any amount under the program.
