Sysco and its Sysco Holdings unit [issued and sold $10.75 billion](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000096021/000110465926114079/tm2625144d27%5F8k.htm?ref=bullished.co) of senior notes on Tuesday, alongside $3.9 billion of dollar junior subordinated notes and €1.0 billion of euro junior subordinated notes, an 8-K shows. The money is meant to pay part of the cash price for the pending purchase of JRD Unico and Warehouse Realty.

## What the 8-K says

The seven senior series carry coupons from [5.450%](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/10/06/3375989/0/en/sysco-announces-closing-of-14-65-billion-and-1-0-billion-notes-offerings.html?ref=bullished.co) on notes due 2029 to 6.600% on notes due 2066\. The $2.0 billion tranches due 2031 (5.600%) and 2036 (5.950%) are the largest. The others are $1.75 billion at 5.450% (2029), $1.5 billion at 5.800% (2033), $1.0 billion at 6.400% (2046), $1.75 billion at 6.500% (2056) and $750 million at 6.600% (2066).

The junior subordinated notes all mature in 2056\. The dollar Series A, B and C pay [7.100%](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/10/06/3375989/0/en/sysco-announces-closing-of-14-65-billion-and-1-0-billion-notes-offerings.html?ref=bullished.co), 7.250% and 7.350%, on $1.5 billion, $1.0 billion and $1.4 billion respectively. The euro notes pay 6.000%.

After underwriters' discounts and estimated expenses, net proceeds were about $10.64 billion from the senior notes, $3.8 billion from the dollar junior notes and €0.99 billion from the euro notes, the filing said.

## What it changes for holders of the debt

The senior notes are unsecured and rank equally with other unsecured senior debt, including the Canadian-dollar senior notes the company issued on September 25, 2026\. They rank ahead of both junior subordinated issues.

The junior notes carry a feature the senior notes lack. The issuers may defer interest for up to ten consecutive years per deferral period. After their first reset dates, the dollar series switch to the five-year Treasury rate plus a spread of 2.280%, 2.372% and 2.401% for Series A, B and C.

The issuers intend to use the proceeds toward the cash price of JRD Unico and Warehouse Realty. If the deal does not close, the proceeds would fund a special mandatory redemption. The 2036 senior notes are the exception and are not subject to that redemption.

In Tuesday trading, Sysco shares closed at $77.45\. After hours they were at $77.41, down 0.05%, a delayed reading taken before the filing was accepted at 4:43 p.m. ET (market data).

## What to watch

The notes' terms hinge on whether the acquisition closes by the March 30, 2028 outside date. If it does not, the redemption at 101% of principal applies to six of the seven senior series.

The acquisition is governed by a merger agreement dated March 30, 2026, and the March 30, 2028 outside date is the one that decides whether the redemption is triggered.
