Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 28, 2009, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Henry Schein, Inc.
(the "Company"), the stockholders of the Company approved (i) an amendment to
the Henry Schein, Inc. 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time
(the "1994 Incentive Plan") and (ii) an amendment to the Henry Schein, Inc.
Section 162(m) Cash Bonus Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Bonus Plan").
Each amendment was previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors on
March 9, 2009 subject to stockholder approval. (See Item 5.02 below for a
description of the amendments.)
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The amendment to the 1994 Incentive Plan, among other things: (i) increases the
maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable with
respect to all awards under the 1994 Incentive Plan by 3.3 million shares to a
maximum of 27,079,270 shares; (ii) implements a "fungible share limit" where
each share of common stock subject to full value awards (e.g., restricted stock
and restricted stock units) granted on or after the date of the 2009 Annual
Meeting will be counted against the aggregate maximum share limit under the 1994
Incentive Plan as two shares for every share granted; (iii) provides that, with
respect to future awards, a "change of control" under the 1994 Incentive Plan
will occur upon the consummation of certain corporate transactions rather than
stockholder approval of the transaction and (iv) provides a minimum vesting
schedule with respect to future awards of restricted stock and restricted stock
units.
The amendment to the Bonus Plan extends the termination date so that bonuses may
be payable under the Bonus Plan with respect to any fiscal year ending on or
prior to December 31, 2013.
