Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of

Equity Securities

Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market tier of

the Nasdaq Stock Market, or Nasdaq,

under the symbol HSIC.

On February 20, 2024, there were approximately 107,000 holders

of record of our common stock and the last

reported sales price was $75.64.

A substantially greater number of holders of our common stock are “street

institutions.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

Our share repurchase program, announced on March 3, 2003, originally

allowed us to repurchase up to two million

shares pre-stock splits (eight million shares post-stock splits) of our common

stock, which represented

approximately 2.3% of the shares outstanding at the commencement

of the program.

Subsequent additional

increases totaling $4.9 billion, authorized by our Board, to the repurchase

program provide for a total of $5.0 billion

(including $400 million authorized on February 8, 2023) of shares

of our common stock to be repurchased under

this program.

As of December 30, 2023,

we had repurchased approximately $4.7 billion of common stock (90,394,805

shares)

under these initiatives, with $265 million available for future common stock

share repurchases.

The following table summarizes repurchases of our common stock

under our stock repurchase program during the
