Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

In connection with Bausch Health Companies Inc.’s (“BHC”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) previously announced intention to separate its eye health business (the “Separation”), and to effect the contemplated initial public offering (“IPO”) of Bausch + Lomb Corporation (“Bausch + Lomb” or “B+L”), BHC and Bausch + Lomb previously entered into certain agreements for the purpose of accomplishing the Separation, which provide a framework for B+L’s relationship with BHC after the Separation (collectively, the “Separation Agreements”). The Separation Agreements, among other things, allocate among BHC and Bausch + Lomb the assets, employees, liabilities and obligations of BHC and its subsidiaries attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation. On April 28, 2022, we entered into the Arrangement Agreement as well as amendments to the Master Separation Agreement and Tax Matters Agreement with, among others, Bausch + Lomb, which are described in more detail below. Although Bausch + Lomb commenced the roadshow for the IPO on April 28, 2022, the IPO is subject to numerous conditions, including market conditions and to receipt of regulatory, stock exchange and other approvals, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the IPO may be successfully completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the IPO. Arrangement Agreement The Arrangement Agreement sets out the terms and conditions of the proposed transactions by which the Company currently expects to transfer all or a portion of its remaining direct or indirect equity interest in Bausch + Lomb to its shareholders following completion of the IPO and the expiration or waiver of the IPO lockup. It contemplates that this transfer will be effected pursuant to the public company “butterfly reorganization” rules in Section 55 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) by way of an arrangement under applicable corporate law (the “Arrangement”). The Arrangement Agreement sets out certain representations, warranties and covenants of the parties and as well as certain conditions precedent which must be satisfied or waived in order for the Arrangement to be completed, together with certain rights of amendment and termination. Certain material terms of the proposed Arrangement Agreement are described in more detail below. These descriptions of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement are summaries of certain expected terms of the Arrangement Agreement and Arrangement only. They may not contain all of the information about the Arrangement Agreement or the Arrangement, and the Arrangement Agreement and the plan of arrangement that will implement the Arrangement are each subject to amendment, modification and/or restatement in accordance with their respective terms and no reliance should be placed on them for any purpose.
