Summary

Sysco entered a first amendment to its revolving credit agreement establishing a $750 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility with CoBank, ACB, and Bank of America as administrative agent, with proceeds intended in part to fund the cash consideration for its previously announced proposed acquisition of JRD Unico, Inc. and Warehouse Realty, LLC, which is anticipated to close by the third quarter of 2027. Sysco's compensation committee approved performance share units valued at $2 million for Chair and CEO Kevin P. Hourican and $1 million for Interim CFO Brandon E. Sewell, contingent on that acquisition closing, and a $700,000 cash award for Chief Human Resources Officer Ronald L. Phillips tied to his leadership of the company's AI-driven business process transformation.
