Analysis · SYY · Trade & Services
Sysco is tapping the euro debt market with a junior subordinated notes offering due 2056, adding another layer to the financing stack for its $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, and give Sysco the option to defer interest for up to 10 years — features that protect the company but shift risk to noteholders. Pro forma total debt would reach approximately $34.4 billion, roughly 5.2x EBITDA, a significant leverage increase from the current $13.5 billion. This follows the $967 million equity offering closed two days ago and precedes concurrent USD and CAD senior note offerings, completing a multi-currency financing package.
