Common Stock

Sysco Corporation is offering $1,000,000,000 of shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Stock”), pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

On March 30, 2026, Sysco Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Sysco Holdings Corporation (“Sysco Holdings”), a Delaware corporation and currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sysco Corporation formed solely to effectuate the JRD Acquisition Transactions (as defined herein), JRD Unico, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“JRD”), Warehouse Realty, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Warehouse Realty,” and together with JRD, known as “Jetro Restaurant Depot”), and certain merger subsidiaries, among others, entered into the merger agreement (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “merger agreement”). Under the merger agreement, subject to satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by law and in accordance with the merger agreement, waiver) of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, Sysco Corporation will acquire JRD and Warehouse Realty in a cash and stock transaction through a series of mergers. As a result of the JRD Acquisition Transactions (as defined herein), Sysco Corporation, JRD, and Warehouse Realty will become direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sysco Holdings. Upon completion of the JRD Acquisition Transactions, former holders of Common Stock, including the holders of the shares of Common Stock that are being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement, and former equity holders of Jetro Restaurant Depot will own shares of common stock of Sysco Holdings, which are expected to be listed for trading on The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).

If the JRD Acquisition Transactions are consummated, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering together with the proceeds from the Financing Transactions (as defined herein) and cash on hand to pay the cash consideration for the JRD Acquisition Transactions and all other fees, costs and expenses related thereto. This offering of shares of Common Stock is not contingent upon the closing of the JRD Acquisition Transactions. If the JRD Acquisition Transactions are not consummated, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds.”

Our Common Stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “SYY.” On September 11, 2026, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on the NYSE was $83.21 per share.

Investing in Common Stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-11 of this prospectus supplement and the “Risk Factors” section in the 2026 Annual Report (as defined herein) to read about important factors you should consider before buying shares of our Common Stock.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved the shares of Common Stock or determined that this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
