ted to completing this transaction and acting in the best interests of ALL shareholders, not simply nominees of a shareholder who is merely willing to vote in favor of the transaction. The McNeil Trust's proxy does not even recommend that other shareholders vote in favor of the transaction. Now is not the time to change your Board of Directors. At this critical time, we believe the current board should be reelected to manage any events which may arise following the date of the 2007 Annual Meeting and prior to the consummation of the merger.

Please vote the enclosed WHITE proxy card now to support your Board of Directors and to support the merger agreement with Teleflex. Your Board of Directors believes it is in the best interests of Arrow shareholders to approve the merger agreement with Teleflex and provide to you $45.50 in cash for each share of Arrow common stock you own. We believe that signing, dating and returning the enclosed WHITE proxy card, and voting to re-elect the current Board of Directors, is the best way to bring about that result.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT.

WE URGE YOU TO VOTE YOUR WHITE PROXY CARD TODAY.

merger.
