Analysis · SYY · Trade & Services
On September 25, 2026, Sysco closed a C$1.5 billion Canadian-dollar notes offering, further expanding the multi-billion-dollar debt stack already raised for the pending $29.1 billion Jetro Restaurant Depot acquisition. The notes carry a special mandatory redemption at 101% if the deal fails to close by March 30, 2028, protecting investors but underscoring the scale of leverage being layered onto the balance sheet. This is the first Canadian-dollar tranche in the financing sequence, following the €1 billion and $14.65 billion USD/EUR offerings priced two days earlier.
