On February 12, 2018, the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) announced it sued Henry Schein and two other dental supply companies.

The FTC charges the Company:  (a) illegally restrained price competition for dental products in the United States; (b) distorted prices and undermined the ability of independent dentists to obtain lower prices and discounts for dental products; (c) deprived independent dentists of the benefits of vigorous price and service competition among full-service, national dental distributors; (d) unreasonably reduced output of dental products to dental buying groups; and (e) eliminated or reduced the competitive bidding process for sales to these buying groups.

This news drove the price of Henry Schein shares down $4.79, or about 6.6%, to close at $67.39 on February 13, 2018.

“Henry Schein investors have suffered enormous losses,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.  “We’re focused on Defendants’ statements to investors about the Company’s revenues and purported industry competition.”
