Dentsply Sirona announces $150M accelerated share repurchase program

DENTSPLY SIRONA announced that it has entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to repurchase $150M of its common stock. The ASR agreement will be completed under Dentsply Sirona’s current share repurchase authorization. Under the terms of the ASR, Dentsply Sirona will initially receive delivery of approximately 3.1 million shares. The final number of shares will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average stock prices of Dentsply Sirona common stock during the valuation period of the ASR, less a discount and subject to adjustments. The resulting adjustments may affect the total amount expended or the aggregate number of shares repurchased. Final settlement of the ASR is expected to be completed before the end of the second quarter of 2023.
