ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On September 12, 2012, Henry Schein, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new $500 million revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). This new facility, which matures in September 2017, replaces Henry Schein’s current $400 million revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in September 2013. The facility’s joint lead arrangers were J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and HSBC Bank USA, National Association and its sole bookrunner was J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. Henry Schein plans to use its credit facility for working capital and general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, capital expenditures, the repurchase of the Company’s capital stock and permitted refinancing of existing debt, as well as for funding potential acquisitions.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative covenants. The Credit Agreement also contains customary negative covenants, subject to negotiated exceptions on (i) liens, (ii) indebtedness, (iii) significant corporate changes, including mergers, (iv) dispositions and (v) certain restrictive agreements. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, such as payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency, the occurrence of a defined change in control, or the failure to observe the negative covenants and other covenants related to the operation of the Company’s business.

The above description of the Credit Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
