ORGANIZATION

Organization — Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. (“Bright Horizons” or the “Company”) provides center-based early education and child care, back-up child and adult/elder care, tuition assistance and student loan repayment program management, educational advisory services, and other support services for employers and families in the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia, Puerto Rico, and India. The Company provides services designed to help families, employers and their employees better integrate work and family life, primarily under multi-year contracts with employers who offer child care, dependent care, and workforce education services, as part of their employee benefits packages in an effort to support employees across life and career stages and improve employee engagement.

Since March 2020, the Company’s global operations have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures undertaken in response thereto. During the early stages of the pandemic, most of the Company’s child care centers were temporarily closed. Nearly all centers have subsequently re-opened. As of December 31, 2022, the Company operated 1,078 early education and child care centers, of which 99% were open.

On July 1, 2022, the Company acquired Only About Children (“OAC”), an operator of approximately 75 child care centers in Australia. Refer to Note 5, Acquisitions, for additional information.
