On April 18, 2017, Henry Schein, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new $750 million revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). This new facility, which matures in April 2022, replaces the Company’s current $500 million revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in September 2019. The facility’s joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners were JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank National Association. The Company 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.

On April 19, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the new $750 million revolving credit facility.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Such press release shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
