Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - June 21, 2022) - Berger Montague is investigating securities fraud allegations on behalf of investors who purchased the securities Dentsply Sirona, Inc. ("Dentsply" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: XRAY) between June 9, 2021 and May 9, 2022 (the "Class Period").

Dentsply is a dental equipment manufacturer that produces a wide array of dental supplies, ranging from anesthetics, plaque and gum disease prevention, tooth polishers, and artificial teeth.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants orchestrated a scheme to inflate the Company's revenue and earnings by manipulating its accounting for a distributor rebate program in order for senior executives to be eligible for significant cash and stock-based incentive compensation.

The truth about Dentsply's misconduct was revealed through a series of disclosures, beginning on April 19, 2022, when Dentsply announced the sudden termination of its CEO.

On May 10, 2022, Dentsply announced that, following reports from several whistleblowers, the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors had commenced an internal investigation regarding certain financial reporting matters, including "the Company's use of incentives to sell products to distributors in the third and fourth quarter of 2021" and whether "certain former and current members of senior management directed the Company's use of these incentives and other actions to achieve executive compensation targets in 2021."

As a result of these disclosures, Dentsply's share price declined significantly and investors suffered heavy losses.
