  9. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

    ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Election Requirements The Company’s Amended & Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provide for a majority votes cast standard in uncontested director elections, meaning that the number of shares voted “for” a director must exceed the number of shares voted “against” that director. The Company does not permit cumulative voting. Any incumbent director who is not re-elected in an uncontested election is required to tender the director’s resignation to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Governance Committee”). The Governance Committee will consider the tendered resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the resignation offer, or whether other action should be taken. The Board must act on the recommendation within 120 days following certification of the stockholders’ vote and will promptly disclose its decision regarding whether to accept the director’s resignation offer. The director who tenders a resignation may not participate in these deliberations of the Governance Committee or the Board. In contested elections, where there are more nominees than seats on the Board, directors are elected by a plurality vote, meaning that the nominees who receive the most votes of all the votes cast for directors will be elected.

  11. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

    BOARD OF DIRECTORS MATTERS Election of Directors Director Candidates Identified by the Board and Management In identifying candidates for election to the Board, the Governance Committee will determine which of the incumbent directors has an interest in being nominated for re-election at the next annual meeting of stockholders. The Governance Committee will also identify and evaluate new candidates for election to the Board for the purpose of filling vacancies. To that end, the Governance Committee generally engages a professional search firm to assist in identifying qualified candidates and also considers recommendations for nominees from current members of the Board, Sysco’s management and Sysco stockholders. When engaging a search firm, the Governance Committee will determine its fees and scope of engagement. We Evaluate Director Candidates In evaluating all incumbent and new director candidates that the Governance Committee determines merit consideration, the Governance Committee will: •Cause to be assembled information concerning the candidate’s background and qualifications, including information required to be disclosed in a Proxy Statement, as well as any relationship between the candidate and the person or people recommending the candidate; •Determine if the candidate demonstrates the characteristics that we require of all directors, described below; •Consider the candidate’s skills, experience and qualifications in the context of the composition of the Board as a whole and the Company’s strategic priorities; •Consider the absence or presence of material relationships with Sysco that might impact the candidate’s independence; •Consider the contribution the candidate can be expected to make to the overall functioning of the Board; •Consider the candidate’s capacity to be an effective director in light of the time required by the candidate’s primary occupation and service on other boards; •Consider with respect to an incumbent director, whether the director satisfactorily performed his or her duties as a director during the preceding term, including attendance and participation at Board and committee meetings, and made other contributions as a director; and •Consider differences in background, professional and life experiences which the Board believes yields innovative thinking, enhanced perspectives and higher quality decision-making. In its discretion, the Governance Committee may designate one or more of its members, or the entire Governance Committee, to interview any proposed candidate. Based on all available information and relevant considerations, the Governance Committee will recommend to the full Board for nomination those candidates who, in the judgment of the Governance Committee, are most appropriate for membership on the Board based on each candidate’s characteristics, skills and qualifications. Director Qualifications and Board Succession The Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing with the Board, on an annual basis, the requisite characteristics, skills and qualifications that directors and director candidates should possess individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition and the Company’s business and structure. This review includes consideration of skills, experience, time available and the number of other boards for which the individual serves as a director, as well as such other criteria as the Governance Committee determines to be relevant at the time. The Governance Committee is responsible for developing a succession plan for the Board and making recommendations to the Board regarding director succession.

    DIRECTOR COMPENSATION Semler Brossy Consulting Group, LLC (“Semler Brossy”) advised the Governance Committee with respect to non-employee director compensation. At the Governance Committee’s request, Semler Brossy provided data regarding the amounts and types of compensation paid to non-employee directors at the companies in Sysco’s peer group and identified trends in director compensation. All decisions regarding non-employee director compensation are recommended by the Governance Committee and approved by the Board. In addition to providing background information and written materials, Semler Brossy representatives attended meetings when the Chair of the Governance Committee believed their expertise would be beneficial to the committee’s discussions. Sysco uses a combination of cash and stock-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board. Directors who are also Sysco employees, such as Mr. Hourican, do not receive additional compensation for serving on the Board or any of its committees. Non-employee directors receive the following amounts: •Annual cash retainer: $110,000, paid in quarterly installments; •Additional annual cash retainer for committee chairs (paid in quarterly installments): •AI Transformation and Technology Committee: $20,000; •Audit Committee: $30,000; •CLD Committee: $20,000; •Governance Committee: $20,000; and •Sustainability Committee: $20,000; •Annual grant of restricted stock: valued at $210,000 and vests in full on the first anniversary of the grant date; and •Lead Independent Director additional cash retainer: $100,000. See “Equity-Based Awards to Non-Employee Directors” below for a description of the plan under which the restricted stock was granted, and the “Fiscal Year 2026 Director Compensation” table below for detailed compensation information for fiscal year 2026 for each person who served as a non-employee director. Reimbursement of Expenses Non-employee directors are entitled to reimbursement of expenses related to their service as a director, including committee participation or special assignments. Travel reimbursements may include reimbursement of a portion of the cost of non-commercial air travel in connection with Sysco business, subject to specified maximums. Non-employee directors may not be reimbursed for amounts related to the purchase price of an aircraft or fractional interest in an aircraft, and any portion of the reimbursement that relates to insurance, maintenance and other non-incremental costs is subject to an annual cap. Non-employee directors also receive discounts on products carried by the Company and its subsidiaries comparable to the discounts offered to all Sysco employees.

  51. FISCAL YEAR 2026 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

    (1)Includes retainer fees, including any retainer fees for which the non-employee director has elected to receive shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash and fees for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 that were paid at the beginning of fiscal year 2027. Although we credit shares to a director’s account each quarter, the elected shares are not actually issued until the end of the calendar year, unless the director’s service as a member of the Board terminates earlier. The number of shares of Common Stock actually credited to each non-employee director’s account in lieu of cash during fiscal year 2026, which are reported in the column entitled “Stock Awards” above, was as follows: 259 shares for Mr. Brutto; 1,431 shares for Mr. Dibadj; 1,364 shares for Mr. Glasscock; and 428 shares for Ms. Paul. Messrs. Halverson, Hinshaw and Marques and Mses. DeBiase, Golder and Talton did not elect to receive any shares in lieu of their cash retainer fees. Directors may choose to defer receipt of the elected shares described in this footnote under the 2009 Stock Deferral Plan. The number of elected shares of Common Stock deferred by each non-employee director during fiscal year 2026 (which are included in the elected shares described above) was as follows: Mr. Glasscock (1,364 shares). To the extent that cash dividends are paid on our Common Stock, each non-employee director also receives the equivalent amount of the cash dividend credited to his or her account with respect to all elected shares that are deferred. If the director has chosen to defer the receipt of any shares, such shares will be credited to the director’s account and issued on the earliest to occur of the “in-service” distribution date elected by the director (which will be at least one year following the end of the plan year in which the shares would otherwise have been distributed to the director), the death of the director, the date on which the director ceases to be a director of the Company, a change of control of Sysco, or the date on which the director applies and qualifies for a hardship withdrawal.

  53. FISCAL YEAR 2026 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

    DIRECTOR COMPENSATION Fiscal Year 2026 Director Compensation (2)For fiscal year 2026, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Governance Committee, determined that it would grant approximately $210,000 in equity incentives to each of the non-employee directors. Therefore, on November 14, 2025, the Board granted to each of the non-employee directors 2,797 shares of restricted stock valued at $75.07 per share, the closing price of Common Stock on the NYSE on November 14, 2025. These awards were granted under the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan and vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date. The amounts in this column reflect the grant date fair value of the awards computed in accordance with ASC 718, “Share-Based Compensation — Non-Employee Director Awards”. See Note 18 of the consolidated financial statements in Sysco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2026, regarding assumptions underlying valuation of equity awards. The value of any elected shares is included in the column entitled “Fees Earned or Paid in Cash,” as described in footnote (1) above. See “Equity-Based Awards to Non-Employee Directors” above for a more detailed description. Although we credit elected shares to a director’s account each quarter, the shares are not actually issued until the end of the calendar year, unless the director’s service as a member of the Board of Directors terminates. Pursuant to the 2009 Stock Deferral Plan, non-employee directors may choose to defer receipt of the shares to be issued in connection with the annual restricted stock award. Messrs. Glasscock and Hinshaw and Ms. DeBiase each deferred receipt of the 2,797 shares of restricted stock. To the extent that cash dividends are paid on our Common Stock, each non-employee director also receives the equivalent amount of the cash dividend credited to his or her account with respect to all deferred restricted stock awards in the form of stock units. A director may elect an “in-service” distribution date for deferrals that is at least one year following the end of the plan year in which the shares would otherwise have been distributed to the director. Otherwise, distributions occur upon the earlier of the death of the director, the date on which the director ceases to be a director of the Company, or a change of control of Sysco, unless the director applies and qualifies for a hardship withdrawal. (3)The aggregate number of unvested stock awards held by each director listed in the table above, as of June 27, 2026, was as follows, and none of the directors shown in the table had options outstanding as of June 27, 2026:

(5)We do not provide a defined benefit or actuarial pension plan for the non-employee directors. (6)The total value of all perquisites and personal benefits received by each of the non-employee directors was less than $10,000.

    | Item 2 | Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation | | | | | The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval of the compensation paid to Sysco’s named executive officers. |

  58. FISCAL YEAR 2026 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

    We are requesting our stockholders to provide advisory approval of the compensation awarded to our Named Executive Officers (NEOs), as detailed in this Proxy Statement, in accordance with Section 14A and Rule 14a-21(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This vote, commonly known as the “Say on Pay” proposal, gives our stockholders an important opportunity to express their views on Sysco’s executive compensation programs and to help ensure our NEOs’ pay is closely aligned with our financial performance. While this vote is advisory and not binding, the Board and the CLD Committee deeply value stockholder feedback. The CLD Committee carefully considers stockholder input when making decisions regarding executive compensation. Sysco’s executive compensation programs are thoughtfully designed to attract and retain exceptional leaders while aligning their interests with those of our stockholders. We strive to balance pay-for-performance incentives with long-term retention, ensuring our compensation remains aligned with Sysco’s financial performance and our peer companies. After reviewing the information provided in this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors respectfully requests your approval of the following advisory resolution: RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, executive compensation tables, and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.

  59. FISCAL YEAR 2027 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    FISCAL YEAR 2027 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Annual Incentive Plan The CLD Committee approved the AIP targets and performance metrics for the NEOs. The payments will be calculated as follows: (i) 70% based on financial measures (i.e., 45% tied to operating income and 25% tied to sales revenue); and (ii) 30% on SBOs (i.e., 15% tied to enterprise cost per piece and 15% tied to local case growth). Payouts will range from 0% to 200% of the target opportunity, depending on actual performance against pre-established targets. If performance falls below the threshold for any component, no payment will be made for that component. Overall payouts are further adjusted based on each NEO’s individual performance as determined by the CLD Committee. Adjustments can range from 0% payout for performance well below target to a maximum total payout of 200%. Long-Term Incentive Plan The CLD Committee also approved the fiscal year 2027 long-term incentive awards pursuant to the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which consist of PSUs and RSUs (each representing 50% of the target long-term incentive opportunity). Following a comprehensive review of our long-term incentive program, the CLD Committee made the decision to remove stock options and focus future equity grants on PSUs and RSUs, which better aligns with peer practices and optimizes the effectiveness of our equity program. The CLD Committee believes PSUs and RSUs are better suited to the Company’s mature business profile while continuing to support strong alignment between executive and stockholder interests. PSUs. PSUs are earned based on performance over a three-year performance period against the following metrics: •Adjusted Earnings Per Share (34%): Targeted incremental growth in adjusted earnings per share; •Return on Invested Capital (33%): Targeted growth in return on invested capital; and •Cost Out (33%): Targeted incremental cost out. Each PSU corresponds to one share of Common Stock at the target level. The actual number of shares earned will vary between 0% to 200% of the target amount based on performance. Additionally, the total shares earned will be adjusted based on Sysco’s TSR relative to S&P 500 companies over the performance period. The TSR adjustment may decrease the shares earned by 25% or increase the shares earned by 25%. Dividend equivalents will accrue during the performance period and will be paid in cash or shares, at the CLD Committee’s discretion, following the Company’s performance results being certified. RSUs. Each RSU grants the NEO the right to receive one share of Common Stock, vesting in three equal, annual installments.

  60. STOCK-RELATED POLICIES

    STOCK-RELATED POLICIES Policies and Practices for Granting Certain Equity Awards The CLD Committee approves all equity award grants to our NEOs on or before the grant date, and the CLD Committee or the Board has delegated to management the authority to grant such awards to certain non-NEO employees. Typically, the CLD Committee finalizes the performance goals and target compensation during its first meeting of the fiscal year, approving annual equity awards that are then granted within a scheduled open trading window. Occasionally, awards may be granted outside of our annual cycle to address new hires, promotions, recognition, or retention. The CLD Committee does not consider material non-public information when determining the timing or terms for equity awards, nor do we time disclosure of material non-public information to influence the value of executive compensation. During fiscal year 2026, the Company did not grant stock options or similar awards to any NEO during any period beginning four business days before and ending one business day after the filing of any Company periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, or the filing or furnishing of any Company Form 8-K that disclosed any material non-public information.

  61. STOCK-RELATED POLICIES

    COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Stock-Related Policies Ownership Guidelines Sysco has established stock ownership guidelines to align the interests of senior management with those of our stockholders. These guidelines require NEOs and other senior leaders to hold a specified amount of shares of Sysco Common Stock, including directly owned Sysco common stock and RSUs. Unearned PSUs and unexercised stock options are excluded. Individuals have five years from their appointment date to meet their designated ownership levels, which are based on each NEO’s base salary and level of responsibility. An independent review by Semler Brossy confirmed that our guidelines are competitive within our executive compensation peer group. The Board monitors compliance at all regular meetings. If an NEO fails to meet the required ownership levels, they must retain 25% of the net shares from stock option exercises and 75% of net shares acquired from the vested RSUs and PSUs.

  62. STOCK-RELATED POLICIES

    COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Executive Compensation Governance and Other Information Clawback Policy The CLD Committee places the highest priority on holding NEOs and senior management accountable, particularly when financial restatements result from material accounting irregularities or misconduct. To address these concerns, the Incentive Payment Clawback Policy grants the CLD Committee authority, subject to applicable laws, to recoup or cancel incentive compensation already paid or granted if it determines that there has been: •A financial restatement, excluding accounting policy changes, within the preceding 36 months that would have reduced the amount of incentive compensation had the compensation been calculated based on the restated financial results; or •Misconduct by an NEO that contributes to a financial restatement or causes material financial or reputational harm to Sysco. The types of compensation subject to clawback, reduction, or forfeiture under this policy include all: •Cash-based bonuses and incentive compensation; •Outstanding equity and equity-based awards, whether vested, unvested, or deferred; and •Company contributions made under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (“EDCP”), or the Management Savings Plan (“MSP”). Importantly, the Incentive Payment Clawback Policy does not restrict Sysco’s ability to pursue other remedies, including termination of employment or the initiation of disciplinary actions. The CLD Committee has also adopted the Dodd-Frank Clawback Provisions in accordance with applicable NYSE listing requirements and SEC rules under Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Accordingly, erroneously awarded incentive compensation, including LTIP awards granted under the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, may be clawed back if Sysco is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any securities laws. This includes any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. Protective Covenants Equity awards granted to NEOs are contingent upon entering into a Protective Covenants Agreement, which protects Sysco’s interests and confidential information by imposing restrictions during and after their employment, including: •Prohibiting unfair competitive activities that could damage Sysco’s business interests post-employment; •Restricting improper solicitation of Sysco employees or customers for a defined period after termination; and •Maintaining the confidentiality of Sysco’s sensitive information. Should an NEO violate any of the covenants, they will forfeit all benefits and proceeds associated with their equity awards. Additionally, the MSP, the SERP and the EDCP include provisions for forfeiture of certain payments if prohibited conduct occurs after an NEO’s termination of employment.

  63. AND OTHER INFORMATION

    AND OTHER INFORMATION Employment and Severance Agreements Each of our NEOs is entitled to receive specific compensation, under certain circumstances, following the termination of their employment. While a significant portion of their compensation is performance based, the CLD Committee believes that offering severance and change in control benefits is essential to: (i) attract and retain executive talent in a competitive market; (ii) avoid prolonged and contentious negotiations or disputes; and (iii) ensure that, in the event of an actual or threatened change in control of Sysco, personal concerns do not hinder strategic decisions that are in the best interests of our stockholders.

  64. AND OTHER INFORMATION

    COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Executive Compensation Governance and Other Information The severance benefits outlined below are contingent upon the NEO: (i) executing a legally enforceable general release and waiver of claims in favor of Sysco; and (ii) complying with the Protective Covenants Agreement, which includes confidentiality, non-disparagement and restrictions on competition and solicitation of Sysco employees, vendors and customers for a period of two years following the NEO's departure from Sysco. Mr. Hourican Pursuant to the letter agreement dated January 10, 2020, (the “CEO Offer Letter”), Mr. Hourican is eligible for severance payments and benefits if his employment is terminated without “Cause” or if he resigns for “Good Reason” (as defined in the CEO Offer Letter). Non-Change in Control Termination. If Mr. Hourican’s termination does not occur upon, or within two years following a “Change in Control” (as defined in the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan), Mr. Hourican will be entitled to receive: •An amount equal to two times the sum of his annual base salary and his target AIP opportunity; •A pro-rated AIP award calculated based on the actual performance for such performance period, paid at the same time as other Sysco executives; and •Continuation of health, dental and vision coverage at active employee rates for 24 months. Change in Control Termination. If Mr. Hourican’s termination occurs as a result of, or within two years following, a Change in Control, Mr. Hourican will be entitled to: •An amount equal to three times the sum of his annual base salary and his target AIP opportunity; •A pro-rated AIP award calculated based on the actual performance for such performance period, paid at the same time as other Sysco executives; and •Continuation of health, dental and vision coverage at active employee rates for 36 months. Ms. Schott and Messrs. Bertrand, Cheung, Higgs, Phillips and Sewell Effective July 2020, the CLD Committee implemented standardized forms of severance agreements for executive vice presidents and senior vice presidents (the “Severance Agreements”) to specify the benefits to which they are entitled to receive upon termination. Non-Change in Control Termination. If an NEO’s employment is terminated without “Cause” or such NEO resigns for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Severance Agreements), and the termination does not constitute a “Change in Control” (as defined in the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan), the NEOs will be entitled to receive: •An amount equal to two times annual base salary for executive vice presidents and one and one-half times annual base salary for senior vice presidents; •A pro-rated AIP award calculated based on the actual performance for such performance period, paid at the same time as other Sysco executives; •Reimbursement of any premiums paid by the NEO under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) in excess of the active employee rates to maintain their health benefits for a period of 18 months; and •Outplacement services for a period of up to 12 months. Change in Control Termination. If the termination of employment occurs upon, or within two years following, the effectiveness of a Change in Control, the NEO will be entitled to receive: •An amount equal to two times the sum of annual base salary and their target AIP opportunity for executive vice presidents and an amount equal to one and one-half times the sum of annual base salary and their target AIP opportunity for senior vice presidents; •A pro-rated AIP award calculated based on the actual performance for such performance period, paid at the same time as other Sysco executives; •Reimbursement of any premiums paid by the NEO under COBRA in excess of the active employee rates to maintain their health benefits for a period of 18 months; and •Outplacement services for a period of up to 12 months.

  65. AND OTHER INFORMATION

    COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Executive Compensation Governance and Other Information Change in Control Provisions Sysco’s change in control provisions use a “double trigger” mechanism, requiring two conditions for accelerated vesting of equity awards: (i) a change in control; and (ii) the NEO’s termination without “cause” or resignation for “good reason” within 12 months before or 24 months after the change in control. The CLD Committee has incorporated similar provisions in the MSP, SERP, and EDCP, which also include benefit reductions if payments exceed deductible limits under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Relocation Expenses The CLD Committee has established a relocation policy for all NEOs, aligning with corporate governance best practices. The policy prohibits reimbursing losses from the sale of a residence due to relocation and requires repayment of relocation expenses if employment ends within a specified period except in the cases of death, disability, change in control, or termination without cause or for good reason. Employee Benefits Sysco offers a comprehensive benefits package to eligible employees, including NEOs. This package includes a 401(k) retirement savings plan, an employee stock purchase plan, group life insurance and other health and welfare benefit plans. While NEOs receive the same health coverage options as other employees, their contributions are based on salary levels, resulting in higher contributions. For the 401(k) plan, Sysco contributes 3% of eligible earnings regardless of employee contributions and matches $0.50 for every dollar contributed on the first 6% of eligible earnings. Sysco also maintains a pension plan, closed to non-union participants since December 31, 2012, with Messrs. Bertrand and Higgs as the only active NEO participants. Perquisites The CLD Committee supports providing limited perquisites to NEOs consistent with Sysco’s executive compensation philosophy. Beyond standard employee benefits, NEOs are eligible for supplementary benefits, which include additional life insurance coverage, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance, long-term care insurance and reimbursement for an annual comprehensive wellness examination. Mr. Hourican receives additional benefits specified in his offer letter, including reimbursement for tax and financial planning services, and security monitoring. Following an independent third-party security assessment commissioned by the CLD Committee, and to support Mr. Hourican’s safety and security, the CLD Committee approved enhanced security measures. In May 2026, the Board revised its CEO travel practices to address certain safety, security and related considerations. Accordingly, Mr. Hourican is expected, where reasonably practicable, to utilize Company-provided aircraft for specified travel and is provided risk-based security services, including a secure Company-provided vehicle and professional driver for commuting. Sysco does not provide any tax gross ups with respect to any personal travel. The incremental costs incurred by Sysco for these benefits are deemed necessary for Mr. Hourican’s personal security and are disclosed in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. The CLD Committee continually evaluates these benefits to ensure they remain appropriate and aligned with Sysco’s overall executive compensation philosophy. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code Section 409A of the Code governs deferred compensation arrangements, including the timing of payments, election of deferrals, and restrictions on accelerating payments. While Sysco does not guarantee exemption or full compliance with Section 409A, our executive compensation programs are designed to either comply with or be exempt from Section 409A requirements.

  68. SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

    (1)The salary amounts reflect the actual base salary payments earned by the NEOs in the applicable fiscal year. (2)The amounts in this column represent the sum of RSUs and PSUs awarded at a grant date fair value of $80.98 for the August 2025 awards, in all cases computed in accordance with ASC 718. Stock awards were granted on August 21, 2025, to each of our NEOs. The values reflected in the table above include the grant date fair value of RSUs and the grant date fair value of the PSUs at target performance. The grant date fair values of RSUs granted in fiscal year 2026 and of PSUs granted in fiscal year 2026 if target performance and maximum performance are achieved are as follows:

  70. SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

    The fair value of these PSUs is determined based on the closing price of our common stock on the last business day before the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized over the period an NEO is required to provide services, based on the estimated vesting of the PSUs granted. See the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table below for more information on the stock awards granted in fiscal year 2026.

  72. SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

    EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Summary Compensation Table (3)The amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of stock options granted during each year. We estimated the fair value of each stock option award using a Black-Scholes pricing model, modified for dividends and using the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.17%; expected dividend yield of 2.89%; expected share price volatility of 26.82%; and expected term of 6.6 years. We did not assume any option exercises or risk of forfeiture during the expected option life in determining the valuation of the option awards. Had we done so, such assumptions could have reduced the reported grant date value. The actual value, if any, an NEO may realize upon exercise of options will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. Consequently, the value realized, if any, may not be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes model. (4)The amounts in this column with respect to fiscal year 2026 reflect cash awards to the eligible NEOs pursuant to awards under the AIP in fiscal year 2026, which were determined by the CLD Committee at its meeting on August 7, 2026. (5)The amounts reported in the “Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” column reflect above-market interest on amounts in the EDCP and the MSP, and the actuarial change in the present value of the NEOs’ benefits under all pension plans established and maintained by Sysco, determined using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in Sysco’s financial statements. The pension plan amounts, some of which may not be currently vested, include: (i) changes in pension plan value; and (ii) changes in the value of benefits under the SERP (inclusive of the MIPRP which is maintained as part of the SERP). Active service-based accruals under the pension plan and the SERP ceased when each of those programs was frozen. Therefore, any subsequent changes in the actuarial present value of an NEO’s accumulated benefit under the pension plan and/or the SERP would likely be attributable, primarily, to variations in the discount rate or modifications to the actuarial assumptions. To the extent that any such aggregate change in the actuarial present value of an NEO’s accumulated benefit under the pension plan and/or the SERP was a decrease, this decrease is not reflected in the amounts shown in the “All Other Compensation” column above or the “Total” column in the table below. The following table shows for Messrs. Bertrand and Higgs, our only NEO participants, the change in the actuarial present value for the pension plan and for the SERP, as well as the above-market interest on amounts in the EDCP and MSP for fiscal year 2026:

    (1)Amounts represent the threshold, target and maximum payout opportunities under the AIP for fiscal year 2026. AIP payout opportunities range from zero to 200% of an individual's target. (2)Amounts represent the threshold, target and maximum payout opportunities pursuant to the fiscal year 2026-2028 PSUs. PSU payout opportunities range from zero to 200% of target. Amounts do not include accrued dividend equivalents. (3)Amounts represent time-based RSU awards. (4)Amounts represent stock option awards. (5)Value reflects the exercise price for the stock options granted, which is equal to the NYSE closing price of our common stock on the preceding trading day. (6)We determined the following estimated grant date fair values for the options reported in the table above using a Black-Scholes pricing model: (i) options issued on August 21, 2025 of $20.15 per option. The assumptions underlying these option valuations are listed below:

    EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Outstanding Equity Awards at Year-End We did not assume any option exercises or risk of forfeiture during the expected option life in determining the valuation of the option awards. Had we done so, such assumptions could have reduced the reported grant date value. The actual value, if any, an executive may realize upon exercise of options will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. Consequently, the value realized, if any, may not be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes model. We determined the estimated grant date fair value of the PSUs granted on (i) August 21, 2025 to be $80.98, per PSU, each being the closing price of our Common Stock on the last business day before the grant date, and assuming the target number of shares would be earned at the end of the three-year performance period. Grants of PSUs are reflected at target since actual shares to be received, if any, will be determined after the three-year performance period ending on July 1, 2028. The estimated grant date fair value of each of the RSUs reported in the table above is equal to the grant date fair value of the corresponding PSUs awarded on the same date and indicated in this footnote (6) above, in each case being the closing price of our Common Stock on the last business day before the grant date.

  94. OPTION EXERCISES AND STOCK VESTED

    (1)We computed the value realized upon vesting of RSUs by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock underlying RSUs that vested by the closing price of Common Stock on the last trading day prior to the vesting date. Dividend equivalents with regard to the RSUs that vested during fiscal year 2026 were paid in cash at the time of such vesting and are not reflected in this column. We computed the value realized upon the distribution of the shares of Common Stock underlying the PSUs that vested during fiscal year 2026 by multiplying that number of shares by the NYSE closing price of Common Stock on the last trading day prior to the payable date. Dividend equivalents with regard to the PSUs that vested during fiscal year 2026 were paid in shares and credited at each dividend payment date.

    EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Pension Benefits

  104. PENSION BENEFITS

    PENSION BENEFITS Sysco maintains two defined benefit pension plans: the tax-qualified Sysco Corporation Retirement Plan (Pension Plan) and the non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP). In addition, certain participants may be eligible for benefits under the Management Incentive Plan Restoration Plan (MIPRP), a non-qualified restoration benefit maintained as part of the SERP that is intended to provide benefits otherwise limited under the Code. The Pension Plan and the MIPRP ceased accruals for non-union employees on December 31, 2012, and the SERP was frozen on June 29, 2013, with all covered participants immediately vested. Benefits under these plans are generally payable at retirement, subject to applicable plan provisions. As of January 1, 2013, Sysco enhanced its 401(k) plan to provide greater benefits going forward. For fiscal year 2026, Messrs. Bertrand and Higgs were the only NEOs participating in these plans.

  105. PENSION BENEFITS

    | Name | Plan Name | Number of Years Credited Service (#) | Present Value of Accumulated Benefit ($) | Payments During Last Fiscal Year ($) | | Stephen D. Higgs | Pension Plan | 28 | 219,632 | — | | | MIPRP | 28 | 23,626 | — | | Greg D. Bertrand | Pension Plan | 35 | 484,689 | — | | | SERP | 35 | 2,206,640 | — |

  106. PENSION BENEFITS

    Accrued benefits are calculated assuming continued service until the earliest age for unreduced benefits, age 65 for both the Retirement Plan and MIPRP and age 62 for the SERP, using specified actuarial assumptions, including discount rates of 6.21% for the Retirement Plan and 6.00% for the SERP and MIPRP. The Retirement Plan and MIPRP are designed to provide 1.5% of average monthly eligible earnings per year of credited service, payable at age 65. Early retirement is available at age 55 with 10 years of service, subject to reduction. Retirement Plan benefits are subject to Internal Revenue Code compensation and benefit limits, with the MIPRP restoring what would otherwise be capped due to these limits. The SERP is designed to provide 50% of an executive’s final average compensation, assuming 20 years of service. Final average compensation is based on eligible earnings over the 10 fiscal years ending on the freeze date (FYE 2013), or earlier if the participant left the plan, with special rules for service prior to 2008. Eligible earnings for both the SERP and MIPRP include base salary and a capped portion of the Management Incentive Plan (MIP) bonus; post-2008 bonuses are limited to 150% of base salary for SERP purposes.

  107. CEO PAY RATIO

    CEO PAY RATIO The following table shows the ratio of our CEO’s 2026 Annual Total Compensation to the Median Employee’s 2026 Annual Total Compensation, calculated per the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K (the “Annual Total Compensation”). For fiscal year 2026:

  108. CEO PAY RATIO

    | The Annual Total Compensation of our CEO | $17,899,369.00 | | The Annual Total Compensation of our Median Employee | $85,831.96 | | The Ratio of the CEO’s to the Median Employee’s Annual Total Compensation | 209:1 |

  109. CEO PAY RATIO

    The median employee was identified as of April 1, 2024, using total taxable earnings with applicable annualization, currency conversion, and permitted exclusions. As allowed by SEC rules, and with no material changes since last year, we used the same median employee as in our 2025 proxy statement. This approach ensures consistency and comparability in our CEO pay ratio disclosure year over year. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the CEO pay ratio allow companies to use different methodologies, exemptions, estimates and assumptions, our disclosure may not be comparable to the CEO pay ratios reported by other companies.

  112. PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

    PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance for each of the last five completed fiscal years. In determining the “Compensation Actually Paid” (CAP) to our NEOs, we are required to make various adjustments to amounts that have been previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the SCT. Due to the valuation component of CAP, the dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amounts of compensation earned or paid during the year. The Pay Versus Performance (“PvP”) table below summarizes compensation values both previously reported in our SCT, as well as the adjusted values required in this section for the fiscal years ending 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.

    Relationship of Compensation Actually Paid and Performance Measures The following charts describe the relationship of CAP to the performance measures listed in the PvP Table above. Generally, CAP has a low correlation with the financial measures for the years shown in the charts below. Sysco places significant emphasis on equity compensation, which is sensitive to stock price changes. Due to the sensitivity of CAP to stock price changes, the timing of the grants and the changes in stock price thereafter significantly influence the CAP each year, as determined under Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K.
