Item 5.02

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

On June 25, 2025, ~~Steven J. Heyer notified~~ the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of biote Corp. (the “Company”), following the recommendation of ~~his~~the ~~resignation~~Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, appointed Richard R. Barrera to serve as a member of the Board to fill the vacancy created by the prior resignation of Steven J. Heyer and as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, effective immediately. Mr. ~~Heyer’s~~Barrera ~~resignation~~is ~~was~~a ~~not~~Class II ~~due~~director towhose ~~any~~term ~~disagreement~~will ~~with~~expire at the Company’s on2027 ~~any~~Annual ~~matter~~Meeting ~~relating~~of toStockholders. ~~its~~The ~~operations,~~Board ~~policies~~has ordetermined ~~practices~~that Mr. Barrera is “independent” pursuant to the rules of The ~~Board~~Nasdaq ~~has~~Stock ~~not~~Market ~~yet~~LLC ~~selected~~and aother ~~replacement~~governing tolaws ~~fill~~and ~~the~~applicable ~~vacancy~~regulations.

Mr. Barrera, age 53, is the Founder and Portfolio Manager of Roystone Capital, a New York based hedge fund. Prior to founding Roystone Capital in 2012, Mr. Barrera was a Partner and Co-Portfolio Manager at Redwood Capital from 2009 to 2012 and Glenview Capital from 2002 to 2009. He began his career as an Analyst at Gleacher & Co., then worked as an Emerging Markets sovereign bond trader at JP Morgan and then at Groupe Arnault’s family office. Mr. Barrera received his Bachelor’s degree in Finance and Accounting from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from the Harvard Business School. We believe Mr. Barrera’s extensive finance, investment and operations experience qualifies him to serve as a member of the Board.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Barrera and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director, and there is no family relationship between Mr. Barrera and any of the Company’s other directors or executive officers. There are no transactions between Mr. Barrera and the Company that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

As a non-employee director of the Company, Mr. Barrera is eligible to participate in the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy, as amended, pursuant to which he will receive (a) an annual cash base retainer of $50,000 per year for service on the Board and (b) an initial equity award with a grant-date fair value of $337,500. The initial equity award (i) will be made pursuant to the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, (ii) will consist of an option to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock, and (iii) will vest in 36 substantially equal monthly installments following the grant date, subject to his continued Board service.

In addition, on the date of each annual stockholder meeting of the Company, and assuming Mr. Barrera continues to serve as a non-employee member of the Board following such stockholder meeting, Mr. Barrera will automatically be granted an option to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock with a grant date fair value of $216,000 (but prorated to reflect the time between his initial election or appointment date and the date of such first annual stockholder meeting), vesting in full on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or the day prior to the date of the Company’s next following annual stockholder meeting, subject to his continued Board service.

All of Mr. Barrera’s then-outstanding equity awards granted in connection with the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy, as amended, shall vest and become exercisable in full if the Company is subject to a change in control prior to the termination of his continuous Board service.

In connection with Mr. Barrera’s election to the Board, the Company and Mr. Barrera entered into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10. 4 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-40128), filed with the SEC on June 2, 2022. This agreement requires the Company to indemnify Mr. Barrera, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, for certain liabilities to which he may become subject as a result of his affiliation with the Company.
