Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 26, 2022, DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the following agreements (collectively, the “Consent Agreements”):
•Note Purchase Agreement Amendment and Consent, dated as of August 26, 2022, by and among the Company and the noteholders with respect to the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2015;
•Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement Amendment and Consent, dated as of August 26, 2022, by and among the Company, Sirona Dental Services GmbH and the noteholders with respect to the Note Purchase Agreement and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2016; and
•Note Purchase Agreement Amendment and Consent, dated as of August 26, 2022, by and among the Company and the noteholders with respect to the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2019.
Pursuant to the Consent Agreements, the applicable noteholders have agreed to an extension of time for delivery of the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2022 (the “Q1 financials”) and June 30, 2022 (the “Q2 financials”) and the related certificates, until the earlier of (i) November 7, 2022, or (ii) the date the Q2 financials are required to be delivered under the Company’s revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, or the date on which the Q2 financials are actually delivered under the revolving credit facility if such delivery occurs earlier than otherwise required. As consideration for granting such consents, each noteholder received a consent fee equal to 0.20% (20 basis points) of the principal amount of the outstanding notes held by such holder.
If the Company is unable to deliver the Q1 and Q2 financials by the date required under its existing debt instruments (after giving effect to any applicable consents and grace periods), such failure would constitute an event of default under such debt instruments, which could also constitute a cross-default with respect to certain of the Company’s other outstanding debt agreements and which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Audit and Finance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors continues to work diligently with independent counsel and advisors to complete its previously announced investigation as soon as possible, and the Company is working to finalize its financial statements as soon as practicable.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on August 12, 2022, the Company received a notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) regarding its continued non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires the timely filing of all periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). In response, on August 13, the Company submitted an updated plan for compliance with a request to Nasdaq for additional time to demonstrate compliance with the listing rules. Nasdaq has granted the Company an extension of time until November 7, 2022 to regain compliance with the listing rules by filing the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 with the Commission.
