Your target annual bonus will be 100% of your base pay. Your incentive award calculation for FY2020 will be prorated based on your actual base earnings earned during the fiscal year. Eligibility for the bonus is contingent upon your continued employment with Sysco through the end of the fiscal year.
•A recommendation will be made to the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee in August 2020 to grant you a long-term incentive award for FY2021 representing 300% of your annual base salary. This award may be in the form of stock options, performance share units (PSUs), or any combination thereof.

In the event you voluntarily resign or are terminated for cause (as determined by Sysco in its sole discretion) within two years after receipt of the sign-on bonus payment, you agree to repay 50% of the net (after tax) amount of the applicable sign-on bonus within thirty (30) days of your termination date.
