<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;1.01.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">On March&nbsp;5, 2007, Henry Schein,&nbsp;Inc. (the&nbsp;&#147;Company&#148;) adopted
an incentive-based cash compensation program for management, known as the 2007&nbsp;Performance Incentive Plan (&#147;2007&nbsp;PIP&#148;). The 2007&nbsp;PIP
is designed to provide each participant with a cash bonus opportunity by rewarding the achievement of pre-established
corporate, business unit and individual performance goals, and is consistent with performance
incentive plans adopted by the Company in prior years.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">Participants include members of
management designated as directors and officers, excluding the&nbsp;Chief Executive Officer&nbsp;(&#147;CEO&#148;). In
connection with the Company&#146;s adoption of the&nbsp;2007&nbsp;PIP, the&nbsp;CEO
recommended to the Compensation Committee which employees should participate in the&nbsp;PIP and
such employees have been, or will be, notified of their participation.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">Components of 2007 PIP goals:
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Company financial performance.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;All
participants have the same EPS&nbsp;goal, determined by the Compensation Committee.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Functional area performance.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;Specific
performance goals were developed for participants based on their area of responsibility or business unit&#146;s
performance and on the Company&#146;s budget established by the Company&#146;s Board of Directors.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Individual performance.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;Using a management
by business objectives&nbsp;(MBO) approach, specific and measurable
goals were developed for each participant to drive and support Company-wide initiatives
including profitability, process excellence, customer satisfaction, strategic planning and organizational development.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">The weighting of contributions of each 2007&nbsp;PIP
component to the overall award varies among participants, typically based on management responsibilities. Each
participant&#146;s 2007&nbsp;PIP performance goals are determined by&nbsp;his or&nbsp;her manager and
then reviewed, as applicable, by the respective Executive Management Committee&nbsp;(&#147;EMC&#148;) member, the&nbsp;CEO
(in each case, solely with respect to participants other than executive officers) or the Compensation Committee.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">During the first quarter of&nbsp;2008, the&nbsp;CEO
will review the relevant financial and operating performance achievements of the&nbsp;Company and its business
units, and, based on input from the relevant EMC&nbsp;member, will review  the individual performance of 2007&nbsp;PIP
participants (solely with respect to participants other than executive officers), against the 2007&nbsp;PIP
performance goals that had been previously established, and will submit proposed 2007&nbsp;PIP&nbsp;awards for
such participants to the Compensation Committee for approval. The Compensation Committee will
review and approve the individual performance of executive officers against the 2007&nbsp;PIP performance
goals that had been previously established. The Compensation Committee or the&nbsp;CEO (solely with
respect to participants other than executive officers) may, at any time, provide that all or a portion

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">of a 2007 PIP award is payable:&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;upon the
attainment of the 2007 PIP goals; or (ii)&nbsp;regardless of whether the goals are attained, as determined
by the Compensation Committee or the CEO (solely with respect to participants other than executive officers) in
its or his sole discretion.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">Awards for 2007 are expected to be paid at the end of the&nbsp;Company&#146;s
first fiscal quarter for&nbsp;2008. Participants must be actively employed on March&nbsp;15, 2008 to receive a 2007&nbsp;PIP award,
except for certain pro rated awards to be paid at the discretion of the&nbsp;CEO for participants who died,
became permanently disabled, retired at the normal retirement age, or in other special circumstances.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">The 2007&nbsp;PIP provides that the Compensation
Committee will make adjustments to:&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;2007&nbsp;EPS goal for
unbudgeted acquisitions based on acquisition models provided by the Executive Management team
and any such adjustment shall be by an amount equal to a reasonable estimate of the expected accretion or dilution;&nbsp;and
(ii)&nbsp;the functional financial and individual performance goals to
reflect acquisitions and new business ventures that were not initially
considered when developing the original Company target. Under the&nbsp;2007&nbsp;PIP, the Compensation
Committee may also make other adjustments to the 2007&nbsp;EPS goal for items that
result, for example, from unforeseeable events or other facts and circumstances beyond the control of the Company. In
its calculation of financial goals, the Compensation Committee will not consider items of gain, loss or
expense as presented to it for, or during, the applicable fiscal year, that are
related to the disposition of a business or discontinued operation, capital transactions, the Company&#146;s repurchase
of its securities, or unbudgeted changes in accounting principles or changes in applicable law or regulations.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">The Compensation Committee or the&nbsp;CEO
(solely with respect to participants other than executive officers) has the authority to adopt,
alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the&nbsp;2007&nbsp;PIP and
to construe and interpret the terms and provisions of the&nbsp;2007&nbsp;PIP and any award issued thereunder.
