Item 5. Other Information

Employee Matters Agreement Amendment

On July 31, 2024, Bausch Health Companies Inc. (“BHC”) and Bausch + Lomb Corporation (“Bausch + Lomb”) entered into the Amended and Restated Employee Matters Agreement (the “Amended EMA”), subject to certain applicable approvals. Under the Amended EMA:

each award of BHC time-based restricted share units (including any matching restricted share unit) (“BHC RSUs”) and of BHC performance-based restricted share units (“BHC PSUs”) that was granted prior to July 19, 2024 (or, with respect to new hire grants, prior to December 31, 2024) (the “Reference Date”) and that is held by a then-current BHC employee, Bausch + Lomb employee or director serving on the BHC Board of Directors (but not directors solely serving on the Bausch + Lomb Board of Directors (the “Board”)) (“BHC Director”) (including any employees located in Canada) as of immediately prior to the date of the consummation of BHC’s spin-off distribution of Bausch + Lomb common shares (the “Distribution Date”), in each case, will be equitably adjusted on the Distribution Date to reflect the spin-off distribution and preserve the value of such awards in accordance with the existing methodology set forth in Section 8.02(a) of the Amended EMA as follows: (i) the holder will continue to hold the same number of BHC RSUs and BHC PSUs, as applicable and (ii) the holder will receive a target number of Bausch + Lomb restricted stock units (“B+L RSUs”) and Bausch + Lomb performance-based restricted share units (“B+L PSUs”), determined by multiplying (A) the target number of BHC RSUs or BHC PSUs by (B) the “basket ratio” (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement by and between BHC and Bausch + Lomb, dated as of April 28, 2022, as may be amended from time to time), rounded down to the nearest whole share;

each BHC RSU and BHC PSU granted on or following the applicable Reference Date held by any then-current BHC employee or BHC Director as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date will be equitably adjusted to reflect the spin-off distribution and preserve the value of such awards by converting such awards into an adjusted BHC RSU or BHC PSU, as applicable, in each case, with the number of adjusted BHC RSUs and BHC PSUs to be determined in accordance with the existing methodology set forth in Section 8.02(b) of the Amended EMA;

each BHC RSU and BHC PSU (i) granted on or following the applicable Reference Date held by any then-current employee of Bausch + Lomb as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date or (ii) held by any director who serves on the Board (but not on BHC’s Board of Directors) as of immediately following the Distribution Date, in each case, will be equitably adjusted to reflect the spin-off distribution and preserve the value of such awards by converting such awards into a B+L RSU or B+L PSU, as applicable, in each case, with such number to be determined in accordance with the existing methodology set forth in Section 8.02(c) of the Amended EMA;

each outstanding option to purchase shares of BHC common stock (“BHC Options”) held by any then-current Bausch + Lomb employee as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date will be equitably adjusted to reflect the spin-off distribution by converting such award into an option to purchase shares of Bausch + Lomb’s common stock, with the number of shares of Bausch + Lomb’s common stock underlying the options and the applicable exercise price to be determined by Bausch + Lomb’s Talent and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board in a manner intended to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the corresponding BHC Options (provided that the treatment of the BHC Options held by all other individuals will remain consistent with the current EMA); and

conforming updates to reflect the fact that BHC suspended the initial public offering of the Solta Medical segment effective as of June 16, 2022.

The application of the methodologies referenced above and detailed in the Amended EMA for equitably adjusting the above-described equity awards to reflect the spin-off distribution are dependent on a number of factors, including but not limited to, the BHC share price, the Bausch + Lomb share price, the number of outstanding common shares of BHC and Bausch + Lomb at or around the time of the Distribution Date, future award vesting and/or forfeiture events and the time the Distribution Date occurs. As a result, the number of awards and underlying shares that may ultimately be subject to adjustment and conversion (and resulting therefrom) as of the Distribution Date pursuant to the Amended EMA are not reliably estimable as of the date hereof and may differ materially from current expectations.
