 Exhibit 4.4 

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES 

REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE 

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 

Henry Schein, Inc. (“Henry Schein” or the “Company”) has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”). 

Description of Common Stock 
 The
following summary description sets forth some of the general terms and provisions of the Common Stock. Because this is a summary description, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a more detailed description of
the Company’s Common Stock, you should refer to the provisions of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and the Company’s Second Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”), each of which is an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K to which this description is an
exhibit. 
 Authorized Capital Shares 
 Under the
Certificate of Incorporation, Henry Schein is authorized to issue up to 481,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 480,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, having a par value of $0.01 per share. 

Dividend Rights 
 Henry Schein’s board of directors
(the “Board”) may declare dividends (out of funds legally available therefor) upon the shares of Henry Schein (as and when the Board determines) at any regular or special meeting of the Board. 

Voting Rights 
 Each holder of shares of Common Stock is
entitled to one vote in respect of each share held. The affirmative vote of 80% or more of all outstanding stock of Henry Schein is required for the amendment of this voting rights provision in the Certificate of Incorporation. Cumulative voting is
not permitted. 
 Liquidation, Dissolution or Similar Rights 

Subject to the rights of holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock, if any, holders of Common Stock will share ratably in all assets legally available
for distribution to our shareholders in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company. 

 Preemptive Rights 

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that no holder of stock of any class is entitled to any preemptive right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
Henry Schein stock. The Common Stock is not redeemable, is not subject to sinking fund provisions, does not have any conversion rights and is not subject to call. 

Antitakeover Statute; Business Combinations 
 Henry Schein
has not opted-out of (and is thus subject to) the “business combination” prohibition under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). In general,
Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock (an “Interested
Stockholder”) for a period of three years following the date the person became an Interested Stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an Interested Stockholder is
approved in a prescribed manner. 
 Approval of Certain Transactions; Protective Provisions 

If stockholder approval is required (i) for the adoption of a merger or consolidation agreement, or (ii) to authorize any sale, lease, transfer or
exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of Henry Schein, then the affirmative vote of 60% or more of the outstanding stock of Henry Schein entitled to vote thereon is required to approve the relevant action. 

The affirmative vote of 60% or more of all outstanding stock of Henry Schein entitled to vote thereon is required for the amendment of the provision above.

 Ability to Call Special Meetings of Stockholders 

Subject to the rights of any series of Henry Schein preferred stock, special meetings of stockholders may be called by (i) the chairman of the Board or
(ii) resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board, and will be called at the request of stockholders holding more than 10% of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors.

 Advance Notice Procedures Required for Stockholder Proposals 

The By-Laws sets forth advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates
for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the Board or a committee of the Board. 
 Stockholder Action by Written
Consent 
 Any action required or permitted to be taken by Henry Schein stockholders at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken
without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to take such action at a
meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

 Certain Proceedings 

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that, whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between Henry Schein and its creditors or any class of them
and/or between Henry Schein and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application of (i) Henry Schein, (ii) any creditor or stockholder thereof, (iii) any
receiver or receivers appointed for Henry Schein under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the DGCL, (iv) trustees in dissolution, or (v) any receiver or receivers appointed for Henry Schein under the provisions of
Section 279 of Title 8 of the DGCL, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of Henry Schein, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the court directs. 

If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of
Henry Schein, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of Henry Schein as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the compromise or arrangement and the reorganization will, if sanctioned by the
court to which the application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders of Henry Schein, as the case may be, and also on Henry Schein. 

Forum Selection Provision 
 Unless Henry Schein consents
in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of
Henry Schein, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee or stockholder of Henry Schein to Henry Schein or Henry Schein’s stockholders, (iii) any
action asserting a claim arising under the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (iv) any
action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
