Sysco amends credit agreement for $750 million term loan to fund JRD acquisition

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 financing Written later

Sysco signed a First Amendment to its revolving credit agreement creating a $750 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan from CoBank, ACB, with proceeds to help pay cash consideration for its proposed JRD Unico and Warehouse Realty acquisition. The filing also sets one-time performance share unit and cash awards for executives tied to the closing of that acquisition, which is expected by the third quarter of 2027.

Key points

  • Term loan consists of a $375 million six-year tranche and a $375 million eight-year tranche, drawable over one year after the amendment's effective date
  • Loans will fund part of the cash consideration for the JRD Acquisition and related fees and expenses
  • CEO Kevin P. Hourican receives PSUs valued at $2 million and Interim CFO Brandon E. Sewell receives PSUs valued at $1 million, contingent on the JRD closing
  • Chief Human Resources Officer Ronald L. Phillips receives a $700,000 cash award, with 50% vesting September 4, 2026 and 50% on JRD closing
