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

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") of Bausch + Lomb Corporation (the "Company") held on Monday, April 24, 2023, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Company's 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Plan") to increase the number of common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") authorized for issuance under the Omnibus Plan by an additional 10,000,000 Common Shares. The amendment and restatement of the Omnibus Plan had previously been approved by the Company's Board of Directors, subject to shareholder approval.

The principal features of the Omnibus Plan are described in detail under "Proposal 4 - Approval of an Amendment and Restatement of the Bausch + Lomb Corporation 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan to Increase the Number of Common Shares Authorized for Issuance Thereunder" of the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the Annual Meeting filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian Securities Administrators on March 13, 2023 (the "Proxy Statement"). The full text of the Omnibus Plan, including the amendment and restatement, is attached as Appendix B to the Proxy Statement.

For the purposes of Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") approval with respect to the amendment and restatement of the Omnibus Plan, the Company relied on the exemption set forth in Section 602.1 of the TSX Company Manual, which provides that the TSX will not apply its standards to certain transactions involving eligible inter-listed issuers on a recognized exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange.
