Insights

Credit Analyst

TL;DR: The company secured a like-sized revolving facility with a longer maturity and an increased commitment option, preserving near-term liquidity capacity.

The Credit Agreement maintains aggregate lender commitments at $3.0 billion with an option to increase to $4.0 billion and extends the maturity to September 5, 2030. From a credit perspective, replacing an existing facility with a new agreement that preserves capacity and adds an increase option typically sustains short-term liquidity and refinancing flexibility. The participation of Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent signals continuation of an organized lender group structure.

Corporate Finance Specialist

TL;DR: The agreement formalizes revolver terms through 2030 and documents subsidiary borrower participation under a consolidated facility.

The filing names Sysco Canada, Inc. and Sysco Global Holdings B.V. as Subsidiary Borrowers and cites a replacement of the facility originally entered April 29, 2022. Key features explicitly disclosed are the $3.0 billion initial commitments, the $4.0 billion increase option, and the maturity date of September 5, 2030. These are material contract terms that affect the company’s available committed credit capacity and contractual maturity schedule.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 5, 2025, Sysco Corporation (“Sysco”), a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sysco Canada, Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“Sysco Canada”), and Sysco Global Holdings B.V., a Netherlands limited liability company (together with Sysco Canada, the “Subsidiary Borrowers”), entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders and guarantors party thereto (the “New Credit Agreement”), which replaces Sysco’s existing $3.0 billion senior revolving credit facility that was originally entered into on April 29, 2022, (as amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”). The aggregate commitments of the lenders under the New Credit Agreement, as of the effective date, are $3.0 billion, with an option to increase such commitments to $4.0 billion, and with a maturity date of September 5, 2030.

The New Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for credit facilities of this type, including, without limitation, affirmative and negative covenants containing limitations on consolidations, mergers, and sales of assets, limitations on the incurrence of certain liens, and certain reporting covenants, including, without limitation, a requirement to maintain a certain ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense. The New Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, nonpayment of obligations, violation of covenants, and certain bankruptcy or insolvency events. Certain of the events of default are subject to exceptions, materiality qualifiers, and/or grace periods customary for credit facilities of this type. Borrowings by Sysco and the Subsidiary Borrowers under the New Credit Agreement are, in general, guaranteed by those wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sysco that are guarantors of the Company’s senior notes and debentures. Borrowings by the Subsidiary Borrowers are guaranteed by Sysco. As was the case with the Existing Credit Agreement, the New Credit Agreement will serve as a backstop for Sysco’s commercial paper program.

The foregoing description of the New Credit Agreement is included to provide information regarding its terms. It does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Neither Sysco nor any of its affiliates has any material relationship with any of the other parties to the New Credit Agreement, except for (i) the Company’s previous credit facilities, with respect to which certain of the other parties to the New Credit Agreement (and their respective affiliates) were lenders and (ii) commercial banking, investment banking, underwriting, trust and other financial advisory services provided (or to be provided) to Sysco and its subsidiaries by certain of the lenders under the New Credit Agreement (and their respective affiliates), for which they have received (or will receive) customary fees and expenses.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
