What Happened
- KKR Group Partnership L.P. (a reported 10% owner) recorded an acquisition of derivative exposure to 918,723 shares of Henry Schein (HSIC) on 2026-03-06 via a total return swap (reported with transaction code J, "other acquisition or disposition").

- Notional shares: 918,723; Notional price: $80.55; Notional exposure ≈ $74,003,137.65.
- Shares directly held after settlement: The Swap gives KKR Hawaii Aggregator L.P. the right to acquire and receive delivery of 918,723 shares; the filing does not report immediate direct ownership of ordinary shares.

- Filing note: Transaction reported as derivative (code J). The filing includes standard disclaimers and separate filings by certain affiliates due to EDGAR filing limits.
Context
- This is an institutional derivative position by a 10% owner, not a typical insider buy/sell by an individual executive. A total return swap provides economic exposure and a contractual right to acquire shares on settlement but is not the same as an immediate open-market purchase of stock.
- For retail investors: derivative acquisitions indicate an institutional exposure to the stock's performance but do not necessarily reflect direct share ownership until/if the swap is settled in stock.
