The disclosure under Item 2.02 is being furnished, not filed, and is subject to the safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Additional risk information is referenced to Sysco’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2025, and subsequent SEC reports.
The Accountability Board filed a PX14A6G notice urging Sysco shareholders to vote FOR Item 4, which requests a policy to separate the Board Chair and CEO roles. The filer notes this is a voluntary submission under Rule 14a-6(g)(1) and that it does not beneficially own more than $5 million of Sysco’s shares.
The filing distinguishes this proposal from a 2019 measure that would have required an independent Chair, stating the current request only asks that the Chair not also be the CEO. It cites Sysco’s five-year performance chart from the company’s 2024 10-K showing underperformance versus the S&P 500 and the S&P 500 Food/Staple Retail Index. To support separation, it quotes governance statements from boards where current Sysco directors also serve, describing how split roles can reinforce independent oversight and allow the CEO to focus on management.

After the transaction, she beneficially owned 13,704.815 shares, held directly. The Form 4 was signed by an attorney-in-fact on 10/03/2025.
The Accountability Board, Inc., a Sysco shareholder, is urging investors to vote FOR Item 4 on Sysco’s proxy, which asks the company to adopt a policy that the Board Chair role be held by someone other than the CEO. The letter notes that a 2019 proposal sought an independent Chair and was rejected during a period of strong five-year returns, whereas its current proposal only requires that the Chair and CEO be different individuals.
The proponent cites a five-year performance chart from Sysco’s 2024 10-K showing substantial underperformance versus the S&P 500 and the S&P 500 Food/Staple Retail Index and argues that the current leadership structure has not adequately protected shareholder value. It then highlights public statements from other companies where Sysco directors serve, such as DocuSign, Wintrust Financial, Janus Henderson, ABM Industries, Lear Corporation and Constellation Energy, all of which describe benefits of separating the Chair and CEO roles, including stronger independent oversight, better management accountability, enhanced risk management, and allowing the CEO to focus on running the business.

The company maintains clawback provisions and proxy access for stockholders owning 3% for three years.
