Analysis · SYY · Trade & Services
Sysco finalized a C$1.5 billion two-tranche Canadian-dollar senior notes offering — C$750M at 4.250% due 2030 and C$750M at 4.800% due 2034 — the final piece of the debt stack funding its $29.1 billion Jetro Restaurant Depot acquisition. Net proceeds of roughly C$1.49 billion will go toward the $21.6 billion cash consideration. The notes carry a special mandatory redemption at 101% if the deal fails to close by March 30, 2028, protecting investors but underscoring the deal's execution risk. This tranche adds to the $10.75B senior notes, $3.9B junior subordinated notes, and €1B euro notes priced earlier this week, bringing the total debt financing to approximately $30 billion. Pro forma leverage rises to 5.22x total debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, a material step-up from Sysco's historical 3.08x.
