DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

Patterson Companies, Inc. (the “Registrant”) is filing these post-effective amendments (each, a “Post-Effective Amendment” and, together, the “Post-Effective Amendments”) to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (each, a “Registration Statement” and, together, the “Registration Statements”), which have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to deregister any and all shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under each such Registration Statement as of the date hereof:

Registration Statement No. 333-101691, filed with the SEC on December 6, 2002, registering 6,000,000 shares (on a post-split basis) for issuance under the Patterson Dental Company 2002 Stock Option Plan.

Registration Statement No. 333-198694, filed with the SEC on September 11, 2014, registering 200,000 shares for issuance under the Patterson Companies, Inc. 2014 Sharesave Plan.

Registration Statement No. 333-227511, filed with the SEC on September 24, 2018, registering (a) 7,500,000 shares for issuance under the Patterson Companies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and (b) 186,609 shares for issuance under Employee Inducement Awards.

Registration Statement No. 333-235403, filed with the SEC on December 6, 2019, registering 2,250,000 shares for issuance under the Patterson Companies, Inc. Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Registration Statement No. 333-261448, filed with the SEC on December 1, 2021, registering 8,000,000 shares for issuance under the Patterson Companies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

On April 17, 2025, the Registrant completed its previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with Paradigm Merger Sub, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Paradigm Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 10, 2024, by and among the Registrant, Parent and Merger Sub (the “Merger Agreement”). The Registrant was the surviving corporation in the Merger and, as a result of the Merger, has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. In connection therewith, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares of Common Stock held by shareholders who have not voted in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, and who have properly exercised and validly perfected appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with, and who have complied with, Section 302A.471 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act) was automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $31.35 per share, without interest, subject to any required withholding of taxes.

As a result of the Merger, the offerings contemplated by the Registration Statements have been terminated as of the effective time of the Merger on April 17, 2025. In accordance with the undertakings contained in each Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any and all securities registered but unsold at the termination of such offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statements as of the effective time of the Merger on April 17, 2025. Each Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
