We have routinely engaged in share repurchase programs to allow Sysco to continue offsetting dilution resulting from shares issued under the company’s benefit plans and to make opportunistic repurchases. In August 2019, our Board of Directors approved a repurchase program to authorize the repurchase of the company’s common stock not to exceed $2.5 billion through the end of fiscal 2021. This repurchase program is intended to allow Sysco to continue offsetting dilution resulting from shares issued under the company’s benefit plans and to make opportunistic repurchases. The share repurchase program was approved using a dollar value limit and, therefore, are not included in the table above for “Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs.” During March 2020, however, we discontinued share repurchases under this program, and pursuant to the amendment to our long-term revolving credit facility, we do not anticipate making any repurchases for the remainder of fiscal 2021. As of March 27, 2021, we had a remaining authorization of approximately $2.1 billion. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities None 61 Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable
