Exhibit 99.1

Can you comment on the FTC complaint that alleges Henry Schein, Benco and Patterson violated U.S. antitrust laws by conspiring to refuse to provide discounts to or otherwise serve dental buying groups representing dental practitioners?

How many dental buying groups do you work with?

Based on the FTC’s original definition of dental buying groups, Henry Schein does business with more than 100 of these organizations. Even under a narrower definition recently advanced by the FTC, the Company has done business, and continues to do business, with the very groups it is now accused of refusing to do business with.

What percentage of North America dental market sales are represented by dental buying groups?

Using the FTC’s narrow definition of group purchasing organizations we believe this percentage is low. For Henry Schein, we estimate that it is less than 10% of our total North America dental sales.

How much of the North America dental market is comprised of small practices versus large group practices?

We estimate that approximately two-thirds of North America dental practices are comprised of small practices and the balance are large group practices, including the mid-market and large DSOs.

Can you specifically address the claim that you conspired to not offer discounts to these group purchasers?

We deny these allegations.

Will the FTC scrutiny lead Henry Schein to ultimately provide more price transparency to smaller customers?

All of the products, solutions and services we offer a dentist are designed to help our customers operate a more efficient practice so they can focus on delivering quality patient care. We believe we offer fair and competitive pricing that is reflective of the value we provide, whether we are serving a large or small customer.

Do you believe that this increased scrutiny on pricing tactics in dental distribution increases the risk of pricing and margin erosion in the coming years?

Our strategy is to deliver high-quality solutions and support at price levels that fairly reflect the value we provide. We believe this go-to-market strategy, which serves Henry Schein, our supplier partners and our customers well, will stand the test of time.

What is the price difference today between a small dental practice versus the price that the same customer might access via a dental buying group?

Relative to dental buying groups, our pricing is proprietary and for competitive reasons we don’t disclose this. That said, we recognize that price is an important element of the value proposition and we work with all of our customers to provide the best value for the price they receive, whether it is a small practice or one that is part of a larger group.

Is this case related to other antitrust matters?

This is a separate legal proceeding, although there are some common allegations among the proceedings.

What is the status of other pending litigation against Henry Schein?

We plan to vigorously defend the legal actions against us and have provided disclosure on specific lawsuits where appropriate. Please see the legal proceedings section of our most recently filed 10Q.

What gives you confidence that this will not have a material adverse impact on your results of operations?

The complaint seeks injunctive relief and does not seek monetary damages. There is also no allegation of ongoing, continuing activity.
