On May 21, 2018, Henry Schein, Inc. (the “Company”) obtained a $400 million unsecured loan (the “Loan”) from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”), which is evidenced by a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”). The proceeds of the Loan will be used, among other things, to fund the Company’s purchase of all of the equity interests in Butler Animal Health Holding Company, LLC (“BAHHC”) directly or indirectly owned by Darby Group Companies, Inc. (“Darby”) and certain other sellers pursuant to the terms of that certain Amendment to Put Rights Agreements, dated as of April 20, 2018, by and among the Company, Darby, BAHHC and the individual sellers party thereto for an aggregate purchase price of $365 million. The Loan matures on the earlier of (i) March 31, 2019 and (ii) the consummation of the spin off of HS Spinco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which is further described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2018.

The Promissory Note substantially incorporates the representations, warranties, covenants and events of default contained in the Company’s $750 million revolving credit agreement with JPM as the administrative agent and a lender (the “Revolving Facility”). The Loan bears interest at the same rate as the loans made under the Revolving Facility.

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