**<u>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</u>**

**HENRY SCHEIN ANNOUNCES THE ELECTION OF WILLIAM K. "DAN" DANIEL AS INDEPENDENT CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD** 

**MELVILLE, N.Y., May 22, 2026 –** Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC), the world's largest provider of health care solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners, today announced that its Board of Directors has elected William K. "Dan" Daniel as Independent Chairman of the Board, effective May 21, 2026. Mr. Daniel succeeds Stanley M. Bergman, who retired from the Board following 44 years as a Director of Henry Schein and was named Chairman Emeritus in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the Company.

Mr. Daniel joined the Henry Schein Board of Directors in May 2025. He possesses decades of board and global executive leadership experience in healthcare and industrial sectors, including serving for 14 years as Executive Vice President at Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR), where he oversaw multiple business segments including Danaher's dental portfolio. Mr. Daniel also played a key role in advancing Danaher's business systems and culture, while also serving as a Board Director at Envista Holdings Corporation (NYSE: NVST) when it was spun off from Danaher.

"I am deeply honored to assume the role of Chairman and am committed to building upon the extraordinary foundation that Stan Bergman and Team Schein established over his tenure," said Mr. Daniel. "Stan's strategic leadership, sound judgment, and unwavering dedication to Henry Schein's mission have helped shape this company into the leading industry provider of products, services, and technology platforms for healthcare customers. His contributions to shareholders, customers, supplier partners, Team Schein Members, and society are profound and enduring. I look forward to supporting this legacy with the Board as we enter an exciting new chapter of growth."

Stan Bergman said, "It has been an honor to lead Team Schein and serve as Chairman of the Board. I have worked with Dan for many years and have huge respect for his business acumen and leadership. The Company is in good hands, and I look forward to continuing to support Henry Schein's continuing success as Chairman Emeritus."

Fred Lowery, Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein, said, "On behalf of Team Schein, I want to express our profound gratitude to Stan for his remarkable contributions over more than four decades. His transformative leadership positions the Company for tremendous growth, and we wish Stan all the best in this well-deserved next chapter. I am also delighted to welcome Dan Daniel as Chairman of the Board. Dan's deep understanding of our business and the markets we serve, combined with his distinguished track record, will be instrumental as we execute on our long-term strategy of building the healthcare industry's most trusted and comprehensive platform of integrated solutions—empowering practitioners to optimize their business operations while advancing the quality, accessibility, and outcomes of patient care."
