Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 21, 2020, at the Henry Schein, Inc. (the “Company”) 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Stock Incentive Plan”). The amendment and restatement incorporates the following changes:

  Change the Name of the Plan. The 2013 Stock Incentive Plan has been renamed the Henry Schein, Inc. 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Incentive Plan”).

  Increase of the Aggregate Share Reserve. The aggregate share reserve was increased by an additional 5,700,000 shares for a total share reserve of 70,942,657 shares under the 2020 Incentive Plan.

  Clarification of “Acquisition Event” Provisions. The 2020 Incentive Plan clarifies that the Company shall have the discretion, in connection with an “Acquisition Event” (as defined in the 2020 Incentive Plan), to (i) accelerate the vesting of options and stock appreciation rights, and/or (ii) cash out all other awards, in each case, only if the successor entity does not assume or substitute outstanding awards on a substantially equivalent basis in connection with the Acquisition Event. Additionally, the 2020 Incentive Plan adds certain carveouts to the definition of “Acquisition Event” applicable to awards granted following the stockholder approval of the 2020 Incentive Plan (relating to events that will not constitute an Acquisition Event) to match carveouts found in the definition of “Change of Control” in the 2020 Incentive Plan.

  Introduce Uniform Minimum Vesting Standards. The 2020 Incentive Plan requires a minimum vesting schedule of at least one year for all new awards under the 2020 Incentive Plan, with no portion of such awards permitted to vest prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant (except that accelerated vesting is permitted in the event of a change of control of the Company or the participant’s death, disability or retirement).

  No Dividends on Options and Stock Appreciation Rights; Dividends on Unvested Restricted Stock Units Subject to Vesting. The 2020 Incentive Plan expressly prohibits the payment of dividends and dividend equivalents with respect to any awards of options or stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), which has generally been the Company’s practice with respect to awards of options and SARs under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan. Additionally, the 2020 Incentive Plan requires that dividends or dividend equivalents paid in connection with awards of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) be credited, deferred until, and subject to the satisfaction of vesting of, and be subject to the restrictions applicable to, the underlying RSUs, which has generally been the Company’s practice with respect to awards of RSUs under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan.

  Extend the Term. The term of the 2020 Incentive Plan was extended until March 31, 2030 (the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan was scheduled to expire on May 14, 2023).

In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company also adopted certain other minor clarifying amendments to the 2020 Incentive Plan, which did not require stockholder approval, to reflect developments in applicable law and equity compensation practices.

The foregoing summary of the 2020 Incentive Plan does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the 2020 Incentive Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
