ITEM9A Controls and Procedures
Sysco’s management, with the participation of our chief executive offi cer and chief fi nancial offi cer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures as of June30,2012. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defi ned in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports
that it fi les or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specifi ed in the SEC’s rules and
forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by a company in the reports that it fi les or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including
its principal executive and principal fi nancial offi cers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. Management recognizes
that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and
management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefi t relationship of possible controls and procedures. Sysco’s disclosure controls
and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls
and procedures as of June30,2012, our chief executive offi cer and chief fi nancial offi cer concluded that, as of such date, Sysco’s disclosure controls and
procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Management’s report on internal control over fi nancial reporting is included in the fi nancial statement pages at page42 .
No change in our internal control over fi nancial reporting (as defi ned in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fi scal
quarter ended June30,2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over fi nancial reporting.
