<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On August 8, 2018, Charles River Laboratories International,
Inc. (&quot;Charles River&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) announced that, in conjunction with efforts to streamline its organizational
structure and decision-making process, it eliminated the role of Chief Operating Officer. Accordingly, effective August 2, 2018,
Davide A. Molho, Corporate Executive Vice President, President &amp; Chief Operating Officer, separated from the Company.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On August 28, 2018, the Company entered into a severance agreement
(the &ldquo;Severance Agreement&rdquo;) with Dr. Molho. In addition to (1) the benefits provided to Dr. Molho under the Company&rsquo;s
2010 Charles River Officer Separation Plan (set forth as Exhibit 10.8 to the Company&rsquo;s Form 10-K filed February 13, 2018
with respect to the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017 (the &ldquo;Form 10-K&rdquo;)) and (2) the Company&rsquo;s contractual
commitment to Dr. Molho regarding relocation in the context of termination of employment for reasons other than cause, as provided
under Letter Agreements previously entered into in 2009 (set forth as Exhibit 10.15 to the Form 10-K), under the terms of the Severance
Agreement Dr. Molho&rsquo;s Performance Share Unit award originally granted on February 26, 2016 (the &ldquo;2016 PSU&rdquo;) will
vest in full after the calculation of the underlying final award amount is completed in early 2019. The basis for this action includes
(A) the fact that Dr. Molho had completed thirty-one (31) of the thirty-six (36) months comprising the performance period for the
2016 PSU; and (B) Dr. Molho&rsquo;s willingness to enter into an agreement to provide consulting services and to otherwise assist
in the transition of his responsibilities during the remaining five (5) months of this performance period. Dr. Molho will receive
no cash consideration for providing such services. For similar reasons, the Severance Agreement provides that Dr. Molho will be
entitled to receive 65% of the 2018 bonus amount determined under the Company&rsquo;s Executive Incentive Compensation Plan following
calculation of such amount for fiscal 2018.</P>
