PRE-APPROVAL POLICY It is the Audit Committee’s policy to comply with Section 10A(i) of the Exchange Act, which requires the Audit Committee to pre- approve all services, including audit services and permissible audit-related, tax and non-audit services, to be provided by Ernst & Young to the Company, subject to an exception for certain permitted, de minimis non-audit services that are approved by the Audit Committee prior to completion of the audit. The Audit Committee has established procedures authorizing the Audit Committee chair to approve the engagement of Ernst & Young to provide permitted non-audit services, provided that such pre- approval is reported to the Audit Committee at the next regular meeting and subject to the Audit Committee’s authority to withdraw such pre-approval.

The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young") as Sysco’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026. Ernst & Young has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, providing auditing, financial and tax services, since fiscal year 2002. In determining to appoint Ernst & Young, the Audit Committee carefully considered Ernst & Young’s past performance for the Company, its independence with respect to the services to be performed and its general reputation for adherence to professional auditing standards. Although the Company is not required to seek ratification, the Audit Committee and the Board believe it is sound corporate governance to do so. If stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young, the current appointment will stand, but the Audit Committee will consider the stockholders’ action in determining whether to appoint Ernst & Young as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2027. Representatives of Ernst & Young will attend the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they wish.
