The carrying amount of the company’s short-term borrowings in various countries, revolving credit facility, 3.50% notes due April 2022, North American asset securitization program, commercial paper, and other obligations approximate their fair value. The company has a $2,000,000 revolving credit facility that 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, acquisitions, and as support for the company's commercial paper program, as applicable. In September 2021, the company amended its revolving credit facility and, among other things, extended its term to mature in September 2026. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is calculated using a base rate or a Eurocurrency rate plus a spread (1.08% at December 31, 2021), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of 1.15% at December 31, 2021. The facility fee, which is based on the company's credit ratings, was .175% of the total borrowing capacity at December 31, 2021. The company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The company has a North American asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. In March 2021, the company amended its asset securitization program and, among other things, increased its borrowing capacity from $1,200,000 to $1,250,000 and extended its term to mature in March 2024. The program is conducted through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation (“AFC”), a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. The North American 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 (.45% at December 31, 2021), or an effective interest rate of .53% at December 31, 2021. The facility fee is .40% of the total borrowing capacity.

The company had no outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program at December 31, 2021 and 2020. Total collateralized accounts receivable of approximately $2,735,145 and $2,207,700 were held by AFC and were included in “Accounts receivable, net” in the company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 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 North American asset securitization program.

Both the revolving credit facility and North American asset securitization program include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. As of December 31, 2021, the company was in compliance with all such financial covenants.

During February 2022, prior to the issuance of this Form 10-K, the company repaid $349,779 principal amount of its 3.50% notes due April 2022.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the company completed the sale of $500,000 principal amount of 2.95% notes due in February 2032. The net proceeds of the offering of $495,134 will be used to repay the 3.50% notes due April 2022 and for general corporate purposes.

During March 2021, the company repaid $130,860 principal amount of its 5.125% notes due March 2021.

During April 2020, the company repaid $209,366 principal amount of its 6.00% notes due April 2020.

In the normal course of business, certain of the company’s subsidiaries have agreements to sell, without recourse, selected trade receivables to financial institutions. The company does not retain financial or legal interests in these receivables, and, accordingly they are accounted for as sales of the related receivables, and the receivables are removed from the company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Annual payments of borrowings during each of the years 2022 through 2026 are $382,619, $299,558, $497,317, $347,699, and
$0, respectively, and $1,099,869 for all years thereafter.

Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest and dividend income of $14,722, $22,568, and $54,815 in 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Interest paid, net of interest and dividend income, amounted to $113,090, $138,303, and $209,512 in 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
