+ Recent Event
200
+
201
+ On January 22, 2001, the Company announced that it has entered into a
202
+ Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") with Sysco
203
+ Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Sysco"), and Sysco Food Services of New
204
+ Jersey, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sysco
205
+ ("Merger Subsidiary"), which provides for the acquisition of Guest Supply by
206
+ Sysco. Under the Merger Agreement, Merger Subsidiary will commence an offer (the
207
+ "Offer") to exchange shares of Sysco common stock for all outstanding shares of
208
+ Guest Supply common stock. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Guest Supply
209
+ shareholders will receive shares of Sysco common stock as follows: (i) if the
210
+ average of the closing prices per share of Sysco common stock on The New York
211
+ Stock Exchange for each of the fifteen consecutive trading days ending on the
212
+ trading day that is five trading days prior to the expiration date of the Offer,
213
+ as it may be extended from time to time, which is referred to as the Sysco
214
+ average trading price, is at least $22.00 but less than or equal to $30.00,
215
+ Guest Supply shareholders will receive for each Guest Supply share a number of
216
+ Sysco shares equal to $26.00 divided by the Sysco average trading price; (ii) if
217
+ the Sysco average trading price is less than $22.00, Guest Supply shareholders
218
+ will receive 1.1818 Sysco shares for each Guest Supply share; and (iii) if the
219
+ Sysco average trading price is more than $30.00, Guest Supply shareholders will
220
+ receive 0.8667 Sysco shares for each Guest Supply share. The offer will be
221
+ followed by a back-end merger on the same terms as the Offer and will be subject
222
+ to customary closing conditions, including that at least a majority of Guest
223
+ Supply's stock is tendered in the Offer and that regulatory clearance is
224
+ obtained.
225
+
226
+ On January 24, 2001, the Company filed with the Securities and
227
+ Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the Merger
228
+ Agreement.

+ The following table sets forth the grants of stock options to the

+ executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table during the fiscal
484
+ year ended September 29, 2000. The amounts shown for each of the named executive
485

486
+ annualized rates of stock price appreciation of five percent and ten percent
487
+ over the exercise price of the options during the full terms of the options,
488
+ which would result in stock prices of approximately $23.11 and $36.80,
489
+ respectively. The amounts shown as potential realizable values for all
490
+ shareholders represent the corresponding increases in the market value of
491
+ 6,623,124 outstanding shares of the Common Stock held by all shareholders as of
492
+ September 29, 2000, which would total approximately $153,060,064, and
493
+ $243,722,353, respectively. No gain to the optionees is possible without an
494
+ increase in stock price which will benefit all shareholders proportionately.
495
+ These potential realizable values are based solely on arbitrarily assumed rates
496
+ of appreciation required by applicable Securities and Exchange Commission
497
+ regulations. Actual gains, if any, on option exercises and holdings of Common
498
+ Stock are dependent on the future performance of the Common Stock and overall
