ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.
(e) OnNovember 17, 2021 , theCompensation and Leadership Development Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") ofSysco Corporation ("Sysco" or the "Company") established the performance objectives and SBOs (defined below) under the short-term, cash-based incentive program (the "STIP") for fiscal year 2022 ("fiscal 2022"), as described below. Pursuant to the STIP, the executive officers of the Company will be eligible to receive cash-based incentive awards for fiscal 2022, including the following named executive officers (the "NEOs") identified in the Company's proxy statement filed in connection with the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders:Kevin P. Hourican President and Chief Executive OfficerAaron E. Alt Executive Vice President and Chief Financial OfficerJoel T. Grade Executive Vice President, Business DevelopmentGreg D. Bertrand Executive Vice President,U.S. Foodservice Operations Tim Ørting Jørgensen Executive Vice President and President, Foodservice Operations, InternationalThomas R. Peck , Jr. Executive Vice President, Chief Information and Digital Officer The STIP is designed to offer opportunities for cash compensation tied to the Company performance with regard to pre-established financial and operational objectives and the performance, collectively, of the Company's senior management team with regard to the strategic bonus objectives ("SBOs"), with the aggregate incentive payout for fiscal 2022 subject to a modifier from 0% to 120% based on each NEO's individual performance. The STIP divides fiscal 2022 into two discrete performance periods: (i)July 4, 2021 toJanuary 1, 2022 ("1H22") and (ii)January 2, 2022 toJuly 2, 2022 ("2H22"). OnJuly 30, 2021 , the Committee established the STIP and the 1H22 Company performance objectives and SBOs thereunder and, onNovember 17, 2021 , established the 2H22 Company performance objectives and SBOs pursuant to the STIP. Incentive payments earned under the STIP for 2H22 will be based on the following components: (i) 20% on enterprise sales revenue, as compared to the pre-established target; (ii) 20% on enterprise operating income, as compared to the pre-established target; (iii) 5% on increase in new accounts in theU.S. broadline ("USBL") markets and the volume of sales to those new USBL accounts, as compared to the pre-established targets; (iv) 5% on the increase in Sysco brand sales to USBL accounts, as compared to the pre-established target; (v) 5% on USBL operations productivity, measured by pieces per labor hour, as compared to the pre-established target; (vi) 5% on the Company's performance against various pre-established operational targets in selected non-U.S. markets; and (vii) 40% on the performance of the Company's senior management team (including the NEOs) with regard to the pre-established SBOs, which are tied to Sysco's highest priority strategic initiatives under the Recipe for Growth. The STIP payment, if any, for each of the above components will be calculated based on performance (as compared to the applicable performance target(s)) and paid to the participant independently from the other components. Further, the aggregate of (i) any payment earned by a participant for 1H22 and (ii) any payment earned by the participant for 2H22, will be subject to adjustment based on their performance with regard to their individual performance objectives for fiscal 2022 pre-established by the Committee. This adjustment, which will be determined by the Committee, will range from reducing the STIP payout to zero (for performance significantly below target) to increasing the aggregate payout by 20% (for performance significantly above target). The aggregate, adjusted incentive payment for the STIP will be paid following the conclusion of fiscal 2022. Each metric for 2H22 based on the Company's performance has a possible payout between 0% and 150%, depending on the Company's actual performance relative to pre-established targets, and the SBO portion of the STIP payment has a possible payout of between 0% and 150%, depending on the actual performance of the senior leadership team relative to the pre-established targets. Consequently, in the aggregate, the maximum 2H22 incentive opportunity under the STIP would be 150% of an NEO's target opportunity, subject to the adjustment of the aggregate incentive for fiscal 2022 for each NEO's individual performance as described above. If performance with respect to any component does not meet the threshold level, a participant will not receive any payment with respect to that component. - 2 -
