The Complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company conspired with other dental supply companies to violate federal antitrust laws; (ii) discovery of the foregoing conduct would subject the Company to heightened regulatory scrutiny and potential criminal sanctions; and (iii) that as a result of the foregoing, Henry Schein's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On February 12, 2018, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") announced that it filed a complaint against the country's three largest dental supply companies, Henry Schein, Benco Dental Supply Company ("Benco"), and Patterson Companies, Inc. ("Patterson"), alleging violations of U.S. antitrust laws by conspiring to refuse to provide discounts to or otherwise serve buying groups representing dental practitioners. On this news, Henry Schein's share price fell $4.79, or 6.63%, to close at $67.39 on February 13, 2018.
