Sysco Corporation announced it intends to make an offering of $1.0 billion of shares of its common stock. The company plans to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $150 million of shares solely to cover overallotments, if any, at the same price per share as the other shares purchased in the offering. Sysco said it intends to use the net proceeds to finance a portion of the consideration for its pending acquisition of Jetro Restaurant Depot, and noted the offering is not contingent on the consummation of that acquisition.

The offering will be made by means of a prospectus supplement under Sysco's shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
