On February 12, 2026, Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc.

The information contained in this Item, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regardless of any general incorporation language in any such filing.

Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(e) Long-Term Incentive Program On February 9, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”), following a review of the Company’s long-term incentive equity program and with input from its independent compensation consultant (the “Compensation Consultant”), approved a revised Long-Term Incentive Program (the “LTIP”) under the Company’s shareholder approved 2012 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated. To better align the Company’s LTIP program with market practice, the Compensation Committee approved increasing the percentage of performance-based equity awards to be awarded to the Company’s key employees, including the Company’s named executive officers, and to eliminate the award of stock options, in each case commencing with fiscal year 2026. Under the revised LTIP, each named executive officer’s LTIP award will be comprised 50% (up from 25%) of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and 50% of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The Compensation Committee also undertook a review of the Company’s form of RSU award agreement and approved a new form of award agreement that will be used under the revised LTIP and provides, in part, that if a grantee’s employment is terminated on account of the death or disability prior to the RSU award vesting date, the award will vest either in full or pro-rata depending on the term of a grantee’s employment. This description of the form of RSU award agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of RSU award agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
