Analysis · SYY · Trade & Services
Sysco completed a $967.4 million equity offering at $81 per share, with proceeds earmarked for the pending $29.1 billion Jetro Restaurant Depot acquisition. The offering adds roughly 12.3 million shares (plus up to 1.85 million via overallotment), a modest dilution for a company of Sysco's size, but the capital is critical to reducing reliance on the $19 billion bridge facility disclosed in the 10-K. The deal was priced at a slight premium to the current $78.71 share price, reflecting institutional demand for the acquisition financing.
