Filing Impact
Filing Sentiment
Form Type
SCHEDULE 13D/A
KKR and affiliated funds report beneficial ownership of 15,709,380 shares of Henry Schein common stock, equating to approximately 13.0% of the 121,268,398 shares outstanding. The filing discloses derivative transactions: a June total return swap covering 57,348 notional shares at a notional price of $71.07 and an August total return swap with Nomura referencing 1,874,538 shares for which KKR elected physical settlement. KKR states it may acquire additional shares up to a 14.9% equity stake under a Partnership Agreement. The filing also clarifies that referenced swaps do not confer voting or disposition rights until settlement.
Positive
- Material economic interest: Aggregate beneficial ownership of 15,709,380 shares (~13.0%) of Henry Schein common stock.
- Path to increased ownership: Partnership Agreement permits purchases up to a 14.9% equity stake.
- Physical-settlement swap disclosed: August swap with Nomura references 1,874,538 shares and was elected to settle in physical shares.
Negative
- Derivative exposure: Significant portion of incremental exposure is through swaps that do not confer voting or disposition rights until settlement.
- Counterparty and settlement risk: Economic position and eventual share delivery depend on swap terms and counterparties (e.g., Nomura).
Insights
TL;DR: KKR holds a material 13.0% economic stake in Henry Schein, backed by sizable swap positions that could convert into physical shares.
KKR and affiliated reporting persons report aggregate beneficial ownership of 15,709,380 shares, based on 121,268,398 outstanding shares, representing ~13.0% of the issuer. The filing discloses two swap-related transactions: a June swap (57,348 notional shares at $71.07) and an August swap with Nomura referencing 1,874,538 shares with an irrevocable election for physical settlement. These derivatives increase KKR's economic exposure and create a pathway to actual share delivery, which would affect ownership metrics upon settlement.
TL;DR: The mix of direct holdings and large physical-settlement swaps is governance-relevant and materially increases KKR's potential influence.
The filing shows direct holdings (15,321,010 by KKR Hawaii Aggregator L.P. and 388,370 by MH Sub I, LLC) and aggregated reporting person control of 15,709,380 shares. The August swap referencing 1,874,538 shares is structured for physical settlement, meaning KKR could receive issued shares at settlement subject to swap terms. The document explicitly notes swaps do not convey voting or disposition power prior to settlement and disclaims that certain affiliated individuals are beneficial owners despite potential attribution. The disclosures are materially relevant for investor assessment of ownership concentration and future changes in voting power.

This Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2025, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on May 6, 2025, and as amended by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed on May 16, 2025 (as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Henry Schein, Inc. (the "Issuer"), a Delaware corporation. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the same meanings herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. | ||

SWAP AGREEMENT
As previously disclosed, pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, KKR has the ability to purchase additional shares of Common Stock up to a total equity stake of 14.9% of the total outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. On August 6, 2025, KKR Hawaii Aggregator L.P. entered into a total return swap (the "Swap") with Nomura Global Financial Products Inc. ("Nomura") that references 1,874,538 shares of Common Stock (the "Second Amended and Restated Share Swap Transaction Confirmation"). Pursuant to an irrevocable election by KKR Hawaii Aggregator L.P., settlement of the Swap will be made in physical shares of Common Stock in an amount to be determined at the end of Nomura's hedging period. In this regard, upon settlement of the Swap, (i) KKR Hawaii Aggregator L.P. will be obligated to pay to Nomura an amount per share of Common Stock as determined in accordance with the terms of the Swap, which is based on the price at which Nomura established its hedge position plus a financing charge and is subject to adjustment based on any dividends paid in respect of the Common Stock during the term of the period received by the counterparty on such shares of Common Stock during the term of the Swap, and (ii) Nomura will be obligated to deliver to KKR Hawaii Aggregator L.P. the specified number of shares of Common Stock. Until the settlement date, the Swap does not give the Reporting Persons, directly or indirectly, the power to vote or direct the voting or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the Common Stock referenced by the Swap.
