SECTION 1 REGISTRANTS BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On July 14, 2016, the Board of Directors (the Board) of Sysco Corporation (the Company or Sysco), as
recommended by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board, approved an amendment to the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines (the Amended Guidelines) to provide that, effective November 17, 2016, no
individual who, as of the date of the election to which any nomination relates, will have served as a non-employee director for 15 years will be eligible to be nominated for election or re-election to the Board. The Amended Guidelines also provide
that, notwithstanding this tenure limitation, during a transition period that expires immediately following the Companys 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, if more than two non-employee directors would otherwise have been ineligible for
re-election to the Board pursuant to this provision, only those two non-employee directors with the longest tenure shall be ineligible for re-election to the Board, and the ineligibility of the other impacted non-employee directors will be deferred
until the next annual meeting of stockholders.
The information in this Item 7.01 is being furnished, not filed, pursuant to
Item 7.01 of Form 8-K. Accordingly, the information in Item 7.01 of this report will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by Sysco under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically
identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.
