Restricted Stock Units - Historically, the Company has granted restricted stock units which gives the recipient the right to receive shares of Company stock upon vesting. The fair value of each restricted stock unit is the market value of Company stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock units vested over three years from the grant date. Once vested, the restricted stock units are no longer forfeitable. Vested units settle upon retirement of the recipient. Unvested restricted stock units generally forfeit if the recipient ceases to be employed by the Company, with limited exceptions. The Company did not grant restricted stock units in 2025.
There were no grants or vestings of restricted stock units for the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024. The following table summarizes the activity for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In April 2023, Arrow suspended the operation of the ESPP as a result of the now resolved delay in filing the 2022 Form 10-K and the 2023 Q1 Form 10-Q and the related effects under applicable securities laws. In October 2023, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 2023 ESPP, which is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under this plan, the amount of the discount is 10%. Arrow previously sponsored an ESPP under which employees purchased Arrow's common stock at a 5% discount below market price. Under current accounting guidance, a stock purchase plan with a discount of 5% or less is not considered a compensatory plan. The new qualified 2023 ESPP was approved by Arrow shareholders at the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders.

Director Stock Plan

Arrow maintains a director stock plan, pursuant to which a portion of the directors’ fees, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, is paid to the directors in shares of Company common stock, as opposed to cash or any other form of compensation, subject to applicable law. Each director may elect to receive a greater amount or percentage of his or her directors’ fees payable in common stock from the portion that would otherwise have been payable in cash to the director.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Arrow maintains an employee stock ownership plan.  Substantially all employees of Arrow and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate upon satisfaction of applicable service requirements. The Company makes voluntary cash contributions to the Plan each year.
