Departure of Named Executive Officers (Item 5.02(b))
Effective February 1, 2019, as part of the structural changes being implemented by Sysco Corporation ("Sysco" or the

Mr. Wayne R. Shurts, Sysco's Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, have decided to transition out of their respective roles as officers of the Company. Following the date hereof, which we refer to as the
"Transition Date," through June 29, 2019 (the "Separation Date"), each of Mr. Libby and Mr. Shurts will remain employed as a
non-executive
employee of the Company in an
advisory capacity. The Company recognizes that Russell and Wayne have each made significant contributions to Sysco throughout their tenure, thanks them for their leadership and wishes them the very best in their future endeavors.

On January 29, 2019, in connection with Mr. Libby's transition, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the

A base salary at the annual rate in effect on the Transition Date;
•
Payment of the annual incentive for fiscal year 2019 under the Management Incentive Program, with the amount
based on the Company's actual financial performance, with performance under the strategic bonus objectives deemed to be at 100% of target;
•
Continued vesting of Mr. Libby's outstanding stock options and performance share units, in each case in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreements; and
•
Continued participation in all Sysco retirement, health and welfare plans, including all employer matching
contributions.
•
Post-Separation
: Mr. Libby's employment with the Company will terminate effective on the
Separation Date, after which he will be entitled to receive earned but unpaid salary, payment for any accrued but unused vacation days, reimbursement for unreimbursed business expenses and vested amounts payable pursuant to the Company's
retirement, deferred compensation and benefit plans, in accordance with the terms thereof. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of his Transition Letter, Mr. Libby will be eligible to receive:
•
A payment in the amount of $364,583 (equal to 7 months of Mr. Libby's 2019 annual base salary); and
•
Reimbursement for the amounts of any premiums or other fees paid by him pursuant to COBRA to maintain his health
benefits under the Company's group health plans for a period of one year following the Separation Date.
