QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING 8. What if I am a beneficial owner and do not give voting instructions to my broker? As a beneficial owner, in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would like, you must provide voting instructions by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your bank, broker, or other nominee. If you do not provide voting instructions, your bank, broker, or other nominee will only have authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Sysco’s independent registered public accounting firm, and there will be so-called “broker non-votes” with respect to the other proposals. If you want your shares to be counted in the election of directors, the advisory proposal to approve executive compensation and the stockholder proposal, you must provide specific voting instructions to your bank, broker, or other nominee. 9. How can I revoke my proxy or change my vote? You may revoke or change your proxy at any time before the completion of voting at the Annual Meeting by: • delivering written notice of revocation to Sysco’s Corporate Secretary, such that it is received before the Annual Meeting; • voting again by telephone, Internet or mail (provided that such new vote is received in a timely manner pursuant to the instructions above); or • voting during the Annual Meeting by entering the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card, voter instruction form, or Notice, as applicable. The last vote that we receive from you will be the vote that is counted. 10. Is there a quorum requirement? A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will exist if the holders of at least 35% of all the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are present in person or by proxy. All shares voted by proxy are counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum, including those that abstain or as to which the proxies contain broker non-votes as to one or more items. 11. What votes are necessary for action to be taken? Sysco’s Bylaws and Guidelines include a majority vote standard for uncontested director elections. Since the number of nominees timely nominated for the Annual Meeting does not exceed the number of directors to be elected, each director to be elected shall be elected if the number of votes cast “for” election of the director exceeds those cast “against.” Any incumbent director who is not re-elected will be required to tender
