Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The principal market for Sysco’s common stock (SYY) is the New York Stock Exchange. The number of record owners of Sysco’s common stock as of August 7, 2020 was 8,356.

We currently expect that comparable quarterly cash dividends will continue to be paid in the future; however, future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors.

We purchased 11.1 million shares during fiscal 2020, resulting in a remaining authorization under our program of approximately $2.1 billion as of June 27, 2020. There were 14,963,189 shares repurchased under our then outstanding plans in fiscal 2019. During March 2020, we discontinued share repurchases under the program, and, due to certain restrictions imposed by the amendment to our credit agreement providing for Sysco’s $2 billion long-term revolving credit facility, we will not make any further repurchases during fiscal 2021. See the discussion in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Debt Activity and Borrowing Availability” for additional information regarding the credit agreement amendment.
