REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
 
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
 
Plan Administrator and Participants
Henry Schein Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
Melville, NY
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have
 
audited the accompanying
 
statements of net
 
assets available for
 
benefits of the
 
Henry Schein, Inc.
 
401(k) Savings Pla
 
n
 
(the
“Plan”) as of
 
December 31,
 
2019 and 2018
 
,
 
the related statement
 
s
 
of changes in
 
net assets available
 
for benefits for
 
the years ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018
 
,
 
and the related notes (collectively,
 
the “financial statements”).
 
In our opinion, the financial
 
statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the
 
net assets available for benefits
 
of the Plan as of
 
December 31, 2019 and 2018,
 
and the changes
in net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements
 
are the responsibility of
 
the Plan’s
 
management.
 
Our responsibility is to
 
express an opinion on
 
the Plan’s
financial statements based
 
on our audits.
 
We are
 
a public accounting
 
firm registered with
 
the Public Company
 
Accounting Oversight
Board (United
 
States) (“PCAOB”)
 
and are
 
required to
 
be independent
 
with respect
 
to the Plan
 
in accordance
 
with the U.S.
 
federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
 
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that
 
we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The
Plan is not
 
required to have,
 
nor were we
 
engaged to perform,
 
an audit of
 
its internal control
 
over financial reporting.
 
As part of
 
our
audits we are
 
required to obtain
 
an understanding of
 
internal control over
 
financial reporting but not
 
for the purpose
 
of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s
 
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,
 
we express no such opinion.
 
Our audits included performing procedures
 
to assess the risk of
 
material misstatement of the financial
 
statements, whether due to error
 
or
fraud, and performing procedures
 
that respond to those risks.
 
Such procedures included examining,
 
on a test basis, evidence
 
regarding
the amounts
 
and disclosures
 
in the
 
financial statements.
 
Our audits
 
also included
 
evaluating the
 
accounting principles
 
used and
significant estimates
 
made by the
 
Plan’s management,
 
as well as
 
evaluating the overall
 
presentation of the
 
financial statements.
 
We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Supplemental Information
The supplemental information in the accompanying Schedule H, Line 4a-Schedule of Delinquent Participant
 
Contributions for the year
ended December
 
31, 2019
 
and Schedule H,
 
Line 4i
 
-Schedule of Assets
 
(Held at
 
End of
 
Year)
 
as of December
 
31, 2019
 
have been
subjected to audit procedures performed in
 
conjunction with the audit of the
 
Plan’s financial statements.
 
The supplemental information
is presented
 
for the
 
purpose of
 
additional analysis
 
and is
 
not a
 
required part
 
of the
 
financial statements
 
but included
 
supplemental
information required by the Department of
 
Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
 
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement
Income Security
 
Act of
 
1974. The
 
supplemental information
 
is the
 
responsibility of
 
the Plan’s
 
management. Our
 
audit procedures
included determining
 
whether the
 
supplemental information
 
reconciles to
 
the financial
 
statements or
 
the underlying
 
accounting and
other records,
 
as applicable,
 
and performing
 
procedures to
 
test the
 
completeness and
 
accuracy of
 
the information
 
presented in
 
the
supplemental information. In
 
forming our opinion
 
on the supplemental
 
information, we evaluated
 
whether the supplemental
information, including
 
its form
 
and content,
 
is presented
 
in conformity
 
with the
 
Department of
 
Labor’s Rules
 
and Regulations
 
for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
 
Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the
 
supplemental information is
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial
 
statements as a whole.

HENRY SCHEIN, INC. 401(k) SAVINGS
 
PLAN
 
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
Note 1 – Description of Plan
 
 
The following description of the Henry Schein, Inc. 401(k)
 
Savings Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information.
 
Participants
should refer to the Plan document or Summary Plan Description for a
 
more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
 
(a) Nature of Operations
 
 
The Plan is a contributory defined contribution 401(k) plan originally effective
 
January 1, 1970.
 
The Plan was amended effective
December 26, 1993, to include an Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) feature.
 
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
 
The third-party administrator is Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (the “Administrator
 
”).
 
The Plan trustee is Fidelity Management Trust
 
Company (the “Trustee”).
 
Eligible employees
are those employed by Henry Schein, Inc. (the “Plan Sponsor” or the “Company”) and certain of the Company’s affiliates (collectively,
the “Employer”).
 
All employees (other than temporary employees) are eligible
 
to make salary reduction contributions to the Plan upon hire
 
and become
eligible to be credited with Profit Sharing Contributions and the Employer
 
Match (each as described below) upon completion of a one
year period of service.
 
Temporary employees are eligible
 
to make salary reduction contributions to the Plan and to
 
be credited with
Profit Sharing Contributions and the Employer Match on the first July
 
1 or January 1 following the completion of a twelve consecutive
month period during which the temporary employee is credited
 
with at least one thousand hours of service.
 
Effective December 1,
2015, if an individual is initially classified as a temporary employee
 
and then is reclassified as a regular participant, the participant
 
is
immediately eligible to make salary reduction contributions to
 
the Plan, and is eligible to be credited with Profit Sharing Contributions
and the Employer Match upon the earlier of a completion of a one year period
 
of service or when he or she would have been eligible to
be credited with Profit Sharing Contributions and the Employer Match
 
if he or she would have remained a temporary employee.
 
During 2018, the Plan was
 
amended to merge the Ortho Organizers,
 
Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan and
 
the Ortho Technology, Inc.
401(k) Profit Sharing Plan into the Plan. For the
 
year ended December 31, 2018, $12,212,751 was transferred into the Plan as
 
a result of
these mergers.
 
(b) Contributions
 
 
The Plan provides for a discretionary Employer contribution
 
(the “Profit Sharing Contribution”) of a percentage of a participant’s
 
base
compensation, as defined under the Plan.
 
There were no discretionary Profit Sharing Contributions for the years ended
 
December 31,
2019 and 2018.
 
The Plan allows employees to elect
 
to contribute, through payroll deductions, stated percentages
 
from 1% to 50% of
 
their compensation,
as defined under the Plan, not to exceed $19,000 and $18,500
 
for years 2019 and 2018, respectively,
 
in accordance with the deferral
limitations for such years under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).
 
The Plan also provides for matching contributions (the “Employer
Match”) of 100% of participant 401(k) contributions up to the lesser
 
of 7% or the participant’s deferral
 
percentage, multiplied by the
participant’s base compensation,
 
as defined under the Plan.
 
See Note 8 for discussion of 2020 changes made to the Employer match.
 
For the 2019 and 2018 Plan years, the
 
Employer Match was allocated 100% to the participant’s investment elections on file, subject to a
20% allocation limit to the Henry Schein,
 
Inc. Common Stock Fund.
 
Participants age 50 or over are permitted to make additional catch-up tax deferred contributions once the participant has reached a limit
on those contributions imposed either by the Plan or by law.
 
The extra amount a participant may contribute may not exceed
 
$6,000 in
years 2019 and 2018.
 
Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other
 
qualified defined benefit or
defined contribution plans (rollover).
 
The Plan provides for the automatic enrollment in the Plan, at a deferral
 
percentage of 3% of compensation, of eligible employees
initially hired by the
 
Company or its participating affiliates
 
on or after March
 
1, 2014, unless the
 
employee elects not to
 
make 401(k) plan
contributions or elects to make elective 401(k) plan contributions
 
at a different percentage.

(c) Participants’ Accounts
 
 
Each participant’s account is credited
 
with the participant’s salary reduction contributions
 
and the Employer contributions and an
allocation of net Plan earnings.
 
Expenses directly related to participant transactions are deducted from the
 
respective participant’s
account.
 
Participants may direct the investment of their account balances into various investment options by the Plan.
 
As of December
31, 2019,
 
the Plan
 
offered twenty-three mutual funds, increased from twenty
 
-two mutual funds as of December 31, 2018, and three
common collective trust funds as investment options for participants.
 
Participants also have the option to direct up to 20% of their
account balances to common shares of Henry Schein, Inc., and may have
 
had an investment in the Covetrus, Inc. Stock Fund in 2019
 
see Note 4,
Common Stock Funds
 
for a discussion of the Covetrus, Inc. Stock Fund.
 
(d) Vesting
 
 
Participants are immediately vested in their 401(k) contributions plus
 
actual earnings thereon.
 
Vesting
 
in the Profit Sharing
Contribution and the Employer Match, plus actual earnings thereon,
 
is based on years of continuous service, on a graded scale as
follows:
 
Vested
Vesting
 
percentage
2 but less than 3 years
 
20%
3 but less than 4 years
 
40%
4 but less than 5 years
 
60%
5 or more years
 
100%
 
During 2019, the Plan was amended to provide for the full vesting, effective
 
February 7, 2019, of any participant who was a “Spinco
Group Employee” pursuant to the merger agreement with respect
 
to the separation and subsequent merger of the Henry Schein Animal
Health Business with Vets
 
First Choice.
 
See Note 4, “
Common Stock
” for a discussion of this separation and merger.
 
 
(e) Investments
Participants direct the investment of their contributions and Company contributions into various investment
 
options offered by the Plan.
 
The Plan currently offers mutual funds, common collective
 
trust funds, and a Company stock fund, subject to certain limitations, as
investment options for participants.
 
 
(f) Notes Receivable from Participants
 
 
Participants may borrow up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance from their accounts pursuant
to rules set forth in the Plan document.
 
The minimum amount that may be borrowed is $1,000 and only two
 
loans may be made in any
calendar year, and no more than two loans may be
 
outstanding at any time.
 
The loans are secured by the balance in the participants’
accounts and bear interest at prevailing
 
rates.
 
The loans must be for a
 
term of five years or less
 
(ten years if the loan is
 
for the purpose of
purchasing a principal residence).
 
Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.
 
If an employee is terminated and has
 
an outstanding loan balance at the time
 
of termination, the employee will be permitted to
 
repay any
outstanding loans directly to the Trustee.
 
The employee may also roll-over any outstanding loans, as
 
part of a rollover of the terminated
employee’s entire vested account balance
 
to certain other retirement plans in which the terminated employee
 
participates.
 
Notes
receivable from participants are valued at the aggregate of the unpaid principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest at the end of the
period. No allowance for credit losses has been
 
provided as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
 
Delinquent participant loans are recorded
as distributions based on the terms of the Plan document.
 
(g) Payment of Benefits
 
 
The Plan provides that, upon termination of service, retirement, disability
 
or death of the participant, a benefit equal to the vested,
nonforfeitable portion of the participant’s
 
account is distributed as outlined in the Plan.
 
Participants may also receive in-service or
hardship distributions based on
 
criteria as described in
 
the Plan document.
 
See Note 8 for
 
discussion of relief provisions
 
available to plan
participants under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
 
(“CARES”) Act.

(h) Administrative Expenses
 
 
All reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection
 
with the administration of the Plan may be paid by the Plan Sponsor
but, if not paid by the Plan Sponsor when due, shall be paid from Plan assets.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,
 
the
Plan Sponsor did not use any Plan assets from forfeited accounts
 
to pay costs associated with the Plan.
 
Amounts reflected in the
statements of changes in
 
net assets available for
 
benefits reflect various participant directed
 
expenses which have been
 
deducted from the
respective participant accounts.
 
 
Effective January 1, 2019, the Plan moved to a flat fee
 
pricing model, with Fidelity Management Trust
 
Company, to pay for
 
plan
administrative services.
 
The Plan pays a flat administrative
 
fee equal to $55 for each
 
participant in the Plan.
 
Participants’ accounts are
then charged the fee proportionally based on their account balance.
 
Fees are calculated and deducted quarterly,
 
and as a result, the
actual fee per participant can vary.
 
Prior to January 1, 2019, record keeping and administrative services, provided
 
by Fidelity Management Trust Company,
 
were based
upon fixed basis point pricing.
 
The pricing was calculated on a quarterly basis on total Plan assets based upon average quarterly assets
and was subject to offset for revenue received from Fidelity
 
and non-Fidelity investments as outlined in the previous agreement.
 
(i) Forfeitures
 
 
Forfeiture allocations may be used to offset administrative expenses of the Plan
 
and to reduce the Employer Match.
 
Forfeited invested
accounts totaled $608,734 and $484,031 at December 31,
 
2019 and 2018,
 
respectively, and are included
 
primarily in the Fidelity
Retirement Money Market account in the statements of net assets available
 
for benefits.
 
Forfeitures in the amount of $773,621 and
$650,551 will be or have been used to offset Employer
 
contributions for the years ended December 31, 2019
 
and 2018,
 
respectively.
 
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 
Basis of Accounting
 
 
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method
 
of accounting.
 
 
Use of Estimates
 
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
 
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
 
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
 
changes therein
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Investment Valuation
 
and Income Recognition
 
 
Investments are stated at fair value based upon quoted market prices.
 
Gains and losses on investment transactions are recognized when
realized based on trade dates.
 
Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments includes realized and unrealized appreciation
(depreciation).
 
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Risk and Uncertainties
 
 
The Plan utilizes various investment instruments which are exposed
 
to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market
volatility.
 
Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities,
 
it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of
investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could
 
materially affect participants’ account balances and the
amounts reported in the financial statements.
 
The Plan’s investments are
 
not insured or protected by the Plan’s
 
Trustee, or any other
governmental agency; accordingly, the Plan is subject
 
to the normal investment
 
risks associated with money market
 
funds, mutual funds,
stocks, bonds, and other similar types of investments.
 
At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, two investments
 
comprised
25.3%
 
and 24.8% of net assets available for benefit, respectively.
 
Payment of Benefits
 
 
Benefits are recorded when paid.

Note 3 – Tax
 
Status
 
 
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has determined and informed the Company, by a letter dated April 24, 2017, that the Plan, which
was amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2015,
 
with certain amendments effective on subsequent dates, and relate
 
d
 
trust are
designed in accordance with the
 
applicable sections of the IRC.
 
Previous determination letters were received by
 
the Plan dated April 26,
2013 and June 1, 2005.
 
Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter,
 
the Plan Administrator believes
that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the
 
applicable requirements of the IRC.
 
The related trust,
therefore, is not subject to tax under present income tax law.
 
Accordingly, no provision for
 
income taxes has been included in the
Plan’s financial statements.
 
The Plan Administrator has analyzed
 
the tax positions taken by
 
the Plan and has concluded
 
that as of December 31,
 
2019 and 2018, there
are no uncertain positions taken, or expected to be taken, that would
 
require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial
statements.
 
The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however,
 
there are currently no audits for any tax periods in
progress.
 
 
Note 4 – Fair Value
 
Measurements
 
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
 
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines fair value
 
as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
 
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date.
 
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1)
 
market participant assumptions developed based on
market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs)
 
and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant
assumptions developed based on the best information available
 
in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
 
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted
 
quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to
 
unobservable inputs (Level 3).
 
The three levels of the fair value
hierarchy under ASC 820 are described as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
 
liabilities that are accessible at the measurement
date.
 
·
 
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
 
either directly or
indirectly.
 
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active
 
markets; quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted
 
prices that are observable for the asset or
liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
 
·
 
Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
 
The following section describes the valuation methodologies that were
 
used to measure different financial instruments at
 
fair value,
including an indication of the level
 
in the fair value hierarchy in
 
which each instrument is classified.
 
There have been no changes in
 
the
methodologies used at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
 
Money Market Accounts
 
 
Funds held in money market accounts are valued at the net asset value of
 
shares held by the Plan as of December 31, 2019 and
 
2018,
which approximates fair value and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value
 
hierarchy at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
 
Mutual Funds
 
 
Mutual funds are valued
 
at the net asset
 
value of shares held
 
by the Plan as
 
of December 31, 2019 and
 
2018.
 
The Company has classified
its mutual fund holdings as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy
 
based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities that were accessible at December 31, 2019
 
and 2018.

Common Stock Funds
 
 
The Henry Schein, Inc. Common Stock Fund is a unitized stock fund.
 
The fund consists of both Henry Schein, Inc. common stock and
a short-term cash component that provides liquidity for daily trading.
 
Henry Schein, Inc. common stock is valued at the quoted market
price from a national securities exchange and the short-term cash
 
investment is valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
 
The
Henry Schein, Inc. Common Stock Fund is classified within Level 1
 
of the fair value hierarchy based upon unadjusted quoted
 
prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities that were accessible
 
at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
 
The Henry Schein, Inc. common
stock component of $61,003,364 and $83,027,848 is included
 
within “Common stocks” on the Statement of Net Assets Available
 
for
Benefits and the short-term cash component of
 
$389,876 and $597,239 is included within “Money
 
market accounts” on the Statement of
Net Assets Available
 
for Benefits as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
 
On February 7, 2019, the Company completed the separation and subsequent merger of the Henry Schein Animal Health Business with
Vets
 
First Choice.
 
This merger was accomplished by a series of transactions among
 
the Company, Vets
 
First Choice, Covetrus, Inc.
(f/k/a HS Spinco, Inc. “Covetrus”), a
 
wholly owned subsidiary of Henry
 
Schein, Inc. prior to February 7,
 
2019 and HS Merger Sub, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Covetrus.
 
Following the separation and merger,
 
Covetrus was an independent, publically traded
company on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
 
 
As a result of this separation and merger,
 
the Plan received a distribution in the form of a certain number
 
of shares of Covetrus, Inc.
common stock (“Covetrus Stock”) for each share of the Company’s
 
common stock, par value $.01 per share held in the Henry Schein,
Inc. Common Stock Fund and the
 
Plan was amended to establish a “Covetrus,
 
Inc. Stock Fund” to hold this distribution.
 
The Covetrus,
Inc. Stock Fund was frozen immediately to additional contributions and
 
transfers into such fund, although Plan participants were
permitted to transfer amounts from the Covetrus, Inc. Stock Fund to
 
other investment options under the Plan prior to its termination.
 
The Covetrus, Inc. Stock Fund was terminated effective February
 
7, 2020.
 
The Covetrus, Inc. Stock Fund was an investment vehicle
intended to invest solely in
 
shares of Covetrus Stock that
 
were received by the Plan
 
as a result of the
 
separation and merger, except to the
extent short-term liquid investments are necessary to satisfy the Covetrus,
 
Inc. Stock Fund’s cash needs for
 
transfers and payments
 
The Covetrus, Inc. common stock component of $3,779,292
 
is included within “Common stocks” on the Statement of Net
 
Assets
Available for Benefits
 
and the short-term cash component of $9,168 is included within “Money
 
market accounts” on the Statement of
Net Assets Available
 
for Benefits as of December 31, 2019.
 
Common Collective Trust Funds
 
 
The Common Collective Trust Funds are valued at net asset value per unit as a practical expedient, which is calculated based on the
 
fair
values of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities as reported by
 
the issuer of the fund.
 
The practical expedient is
used for purposes of these statements, but is not used in situations when it
 
is determined to be probable that the fund will sell the
investments for an amount different than the reported
 
net asset value.
 
The fund’s primary investment objectives
 
are to maximize
current income and maintain principal stability.

This class represents investments in the T.
 
Rowe Price Stable Value
 
Common Trust Fund (“Stable Value
 
Fund”), Prudential
Core Plus Bond Fund (“Prudential Fund”) and the BlackRock Strategic
 
Completion Non-Lendable Fund M (“BlackRock
Fund”) that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per unit (or its equivalent) and have not been categorized in the
fair value hierarchy.
 
The Stable Value
 
Fund invests primarily in guaranteed investment contracts, separate account contracts,
fixed income securities, wrapper contracts, and short-term investmen
 
ts.
 
The Prudential Fund invests primarily in U.S
Treasury,
 
agency, corporate,
 
mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities.
 
The BlackRock Fund invests primarily in U.S.
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, real estate
 
investment trusts, and commodities.
 
The fair value amounts presented in
this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to
 
the line items presented in the statements of net
assets available for benefits.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no
 
transfers of investments between the levels of the fair
 
value
hierarchy.
 
The valuation methods as described above may produce a fair
 
value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or
reflective of future fair values.
 
Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent
 
with other
market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could
result in
 
a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Note 5 – Plan Termination
 
 
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has
 
the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at
 
any time
and to terminate the Plan subject to ERISA.
 
In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100%
 
vested in their accounts.
 
Note 6 – Party-in-Interest Transactions
 
 
The Plan invests in
 
shares of funds managed by
 
an affiliate of the Trustee as defined
 
by the Plan and, therefore,
 
these transactions in such
investments qualify as party-in-interest.
 
The Plan invests in the common stock of Henry Schein, Inc., and
 
Covetrus, Inc. which are a
parties-in-interest and related parties to the Plan.
 
Notes receivable from participants also qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
 
Note 7 – Delinquent Participant Contributions
 
 
The Company failed to timely remit certain contributions and loan repayments to the Plan in a timely manner, according to Department
of Labor regulations, in the amount of $87,509 for contributions and $11,414 for loan repayments in 2018.
 
The Company has remitted
the principal amount, and has calculated and remitted lost earnings to the Plan.
 
This transaction constitutes a prohibited transaction as
defined by ERISA.

Note 8 – Subsequent Events
 
 
In preparing the financial statements, Plan management has evaluated
 
events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure
through June 26, 2020, the date the Plan’s
 
financial statements are available to be issued.
 
 
In March 2020, the World
 
Health Organization declared the Novel Coronavirus disease
 
2019 (“COVID-19”) a pandemic.
 
The
on-going COVID-19 pandemic in the world triggered significant
 
events and substantial volatility in world financial markets that have
had a significant negative impact on
 
foreign and domestic financial markets.
 
Since the values of the
 
Plan’s individual investments have
and will fluctuate in response to changing market conditions, the amount of losses that will be recognized in subsequent periods, if any,
cannot be determined.
 
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed
 
into law the CARES Act.
 
The CARES Act, among other things, includes several relief
provisions available to tax-qualified retirement plans and their
 
participants.
 
Plan management has evaluated the relief provisions
available to Plan participants under the CARES Act and has implemented
 
the following provisions:
 
 
•Special Coronavirus Related Distributions for qualified individuals
 
(impacted by COVID-19 as set forth in the CARES Act) up to
$100,000 before December 31, 2020
• Increased
 
the available loan amount as described in Note 1 for qualified individuals
 
to the lesser of $100,000 or 100% of the
participant’s vested account balance
 
for loans made from the date the CARES Act was enacted
 
through September 22, 2020
• Extended the period for loan repayments otherwise due between the date
 
the CARES Act was enacted and December 31, 2020,
 
if
applicable, up to one year
 
• Suspended required minimum distributions for 2020
 
 
On May 1, 2020, the Plan was amended to (i) suspend all matching contributions
 
for all quarters commencing with the quarter that
begins on June 28, 2020, (ii) provided for the recognition of prior service for employees of an acquired entity,
 
and (iii) provided for the
elective transfer of any Eligible Employee’s
 
account balance under Modern Laboratory Services 401(k) Plan
 
into the Plan.
