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

On May 19, 2009, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg voluntarily resigned from her position as a member of the Board of Directors of Henry Schein, Inc. (the "Company") and withdrew her name as a nominee for re-election to the Company's Board of Directors in connection with the Company's forthcoming May 28, 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders ("2009 Annual Meeting"). Dr. Hamburg advised the Company that she has been confirmed as the Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and her responsibilities in that connection preclude her continued service as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. The decision by Dr. Hamburg to resign from the Board of Directors was not the result of any disagreement with the Company.
The Company has no current intention of naming another director to replace Dr. Hamburg as a current director or as a nominee for director in the upcoming election at the 2009 Annual Meeting.
