The carrying amount of the company's short-term borrowings in various countries, revolving credit facility, asset securitization program, and other obligations approximate their fair value.

The company has a $1,500,000 revolving credit facility, maturing in December 2018. 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 (1.30% at June 28, 2014), which is based on the company's credit ratings. The facility fee is .20%.  There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at June 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The company has an asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. In March 2014, the company amended its asset securitization program and, among other things, increased its borrowing capacity from $775,000 to $900,000 and extended its term to mature in March 2017. 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 (.40% at June 28, 2014), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of .59% at June 28, 2014.  The facility fee is .40%.

At June 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the company had $300,000 and $420,000, 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 $1,570,371 and $1,867,552, 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 June 28, 2014 and is currently not aware of any events that would cause non-compliance with any covenants in the future.  

In April 2014, the company entered into an agreement for an uncommitted line of credit. Under this agreement, the company may borrow up to a total of $70,000 at the discretion of the participating bank. There were no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted line of credit at June 28, 2014.

During the first six months of 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.

During the first six months of 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 six months of 2013 aggregated $4,277 ($2,627 net of related taxes or $.03 and $.02 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) and was recognized as a loss on prepayment of debt in the company's consolidated statements of operations.
Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest and dividend income of $750 and $1,529 for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 and $549 and $1,120 for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively.
