This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on April 1, 2015 (the “Prior Report”) by Sysco Corporation (the “Company” or “Sysco”). In accordance with Instruction 2 to Item 5.02 of Form 8-K, the Prior Report omitted the information called for in Item 5.02(c) with respect to the material terms of Joel T.
