In February 2013, the company completed the sale of $300,000 principal amount of 3.00% notes due in 2018 and $300,000 principal amount of 4.50% notes due in 2023. The net proceeds of the offering of $591,156 were used to refinance the company's 6.875% senior notes due July 2013 and for general corporate purposes.

In March 2013, the company redeemed $332,107 principal amount of its 6.875% senior notes due July 2013. The related loss on the redemption for the first quarter of 2013 aggregated $4,277 ($2,627 net of related taxes or $.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and was recognized as a loss on prepayment of debt.

The company has a $1,200,000 revolving credit facility, maturing in August 2016. This facility may be used by the company for general corporate purposes including working capital in the ordinary course of business, letters of credit, repayment, prepayment or purchase of long-term indebtedness and acquisitions, and as support for the company's commercial paper program, as applicable. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is calculated using a base rate or a euro currency rate plus a spread based on the company's credit ratings (1.275% at March 30, 2013), or an effective interest rate of 1.47% at March 30, 2013. The facility fee is .225%. The company had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $57,900 and $123,600 at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The company has a $775,000 asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its United States subsidiaries, maturing in December 2014. The asset securitization program is conducted through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation ("AFC"), 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 consolidated balance sheets. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread, which is based on the company's credit ratings (.40% at March 30, 2013), or an effective interest rate of .71% at March 30, 2013. The facility fee is .40%.

At March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the company had $335,000 and $225,000, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program, which was included in "Long-term debt" in the company's consolidated balance sheets, and total collateralized accounts receivable of approximately $1,432,767 and $1,610,946, respectively, were held by AFC and were included in "Accounts receivable, net" in the company's consolidated balance sheets. Any accounts receivable held by AFC would likely not be available to other creditors of the company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings before repayment of any outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program.

Both the revolving credit facility and asset securitization program include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings, limit the company's ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase stock, and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. The company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 30, 2013 and is currently not aware of any events that would cause non-compliance with any covenants in the future.

Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest and dividend income of $571 and $585 for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively.
