Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed April 20, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
On April 16, 2026, Sysco Corporation entered into two new credit agreements with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, replacing its existing $3.0 billiona senior revolving credit facility originally entered into on September 5, 2025.
The New Revolver Credit Agreement provides aggregate commitments of $3.0 billion as of the effective date, increasing to $4.0 billionb upon consummation of the previously announced acquisition of JRD Unico, Inc. and Warehouse Realty, LLC (together, Jetro Restaurant Depot), with an option to increase to $5.0 billion. Loans drawn under it mature April 16, 2031, and it will continue to serve as a backstop for Sysco's commercial paper program. Subsidiary borrowers Sysco Canada, Inc. and Sysco Global Holdings B.V. are parties to this facility.
The New Term Credit Agreement provides $3.0 billionc of aggregate commitments, consisting of a $1.25 billion Tranche A that matures 364 days from the Closing Date and a $1.75 billion Tranche B that matures two years from the Closing Date. Term loan proceeds will fund in part the Jetro Restaurant Depot merger transactions, refinance JRD's indebtedness on the Closing Date, and pay related fees and expenses. Revolver proceeds are for general corporate purposes.
Both agreements contain customary covenants, including a requirement to maintain a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, and customary events of default. The filing also states that the credit agreements are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 with certain portions redacted under Regulation S-K Item 601(b)(10)(iv), and that certain schedules and exhibits were omitted under Item 601(a)(5). The filing references a possible Form S-4 registration statement by New Slider Holdco, Inc. in connection with the proposed transaction, and notes that Sysco has no material relationships with the other parties to the credit agreements beyond prior facilities and customary banking services.
