EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment ("Amendment No. 1") to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Arrow Electronics, Inc. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2017 (the "Original Filing"). The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation. No other changes have been made to the Original Filing.

 Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

    At the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, a proposal regarding the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers – or future “say-on-pay” votes. As previously reported by the Company, a majority of the votes cast on the frequency proposal were cast in favor of holding an annual “say-on-pay” vote.

    In light of the voting results with respect to the frequency proposal, at a meeting held on September 19, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors decided that the Company will hold an advisory “say-on-pay” vote each year in connection with its annual meeting of stockholders until the next vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on the compensation of executives or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of the shareholders. The next required advisory vote on the frequency will occur no later than 2023.
