Item 5.02

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

On May 9, 2025, John S. Barresi informed Bausch Health Companies Inc. (the “Company”) of his decision to resign as the Senior Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer of the Company. Mr. Barresi will depart the Company effective June 2, 2025 to pursue another opportunity. During his remaining period of employment, Mr. Barresi will continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer, in order to support a seamless transition. Mr. Barresi’s resignation was not because of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices, including accounting principles, practices and disclosures. The Company has initiated a search for a permanent Chief Accounting Officer and until a permanent replacement is in place, at the time that Mr. Barresi ceases to be the Chief Accounting Officer, Jean-Jacques Charhon, who is currently serving as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will assume the additional role of Chief Accounting Officer. Mr. Charhon’s biographical information is set forth in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 19, 2024, and such information is incorporated herein by reference.

There is no family relationship between Mr. Charhon and any other executive officer or director of the Company, and there is no arrangement or understanding with any other person under which he was appointed. There are no transactions to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party and in which Mr. Charhon has a direct or indirect material interest subject to disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K
