  • Voting support agreement previously entered into with L Catterton Investor is amended and restated, and all other voting support agreements with other Dentalcorp shareholders remain in place, representing approximately 60.8% of the voting interest attached to the Shares (including the irrevocable support of approximately 56.2% of the voting interest attached to the Shares)
  • The management information circular and related materials for the special meeting of Dentalcorp securityholders are expected to be mailed and filed on SEDAR+ on or about November 12, 2025
  • The Board of Directors of Dentalcorp (with conflicted directors abstaining) unanimously recommends that Dentalcorp securityholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution

dentalcorp Holdings Ltd. (“Dentalcorp” or the “Company”) (TSX: DNTL), Canada’s largest and one of North America’s fastest growing networks of dental practices, today announced that the Supreme Court of British Columbia has granted Dentalcorp an interim order providing for the calling and holding of the special meeting of Dentalcorp securityholders to be held on December 4, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) (the “Securityholder Meeting”) and addressing other procedural matters relating to the conduct of the Securityholder Meeting in connection with the previously announced transaction (the “Transaction”) in which Dentalcorp will be acquired by funds affiliated with GTCR LLC (“GTCR”).

The Company also announced today that LC8 DCC Investment Borrower, L.P. (“L Catterton Investor”) and GTCR have agreed to terminate the rollover agreement previously entered into between L Catterton Investor and an affiliate of GTCR. As a result, 100% of the Dentalcorp subordinate voting shares (the “Subordinate Voting Shares”) owned by L Catterton Investor will now be acquired pursuant to the Arrangement (as defined below) for C$11.00 per share in cash and L Catterton Investor will have no ongoing interest in Dentalcorp following completion of the Transaction and is no longer a “Rollover Shareholder” for the purposes of the Transaction. In connection with the termination of the rollover agreement, L Catterton Investor has entered into an amended and restated voting support agreement providing its commitment to vote in favour of the Arrangement, substantially on the same terms as the voting support agreement previously entered into between L Catterton Investor and an affiliate of GTCR.

Graham Rosenberg, the Company’s Founder, Chairman and CEO, and Nate Tchaplia, the Company’s President and CFO, will still roll 50.0% and 40.0%, respectively, of their Dentalcorp Multiple Voting Shares (the “Multiple Voting Shares” and, together with the Subordinate Voting Shares, the “Shares”) and Subordinate Voting Shares into shares in the capital structure of an affiliate of GTCR that will have direct or indirect ownership of Dentalcorp (“Purchaser Securities”). In addition, subject to compliance with applicable Canadian securities laws, Dentalcorp’s partner dentists remain entitled to roll all or a portion of their Subordinate Voting Shares into Purchaser Securities (all partner dentists who elect to roll, along with Graham Rosenberg and Nate Tchaplia, the “Rollover Shareholders”, and all Shares so rolled, the “Rollover Shares”). All rollovers will occur at a value per Share equal to the cash purchase price of C$11.00 per Share.

Certain directors, executive officers and shareholders of Dentalcorp (including Graham Rosenberg, Nate Tchaplia and L Catterton Investor), who together hold 100% of the Multiple Voting Shares, 43.9% of the Subordinate Voting Shares and a 60.8% voting interest in Dentalcorp, have entered into voting support agreements to support the Transaction, with each of Graham Rosenberg, Nate Tchaplia and L Catterton Investor having entered into irrevocable voting support agreements, which have commitments that expire four months from the date the arrangement agreement entered into in connection with the Transaction is terminated.

Meeting Information

The Securityholder Meeting has been called for securityholders of Dentalcorp to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”) to approve a proposed plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) involving the Company and newly formed acquisition vehicles controlled by GTCR pursuant to Division 5 of Part 9 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Pursuant to the Arrangement, a newly formed acquisition vehicle controlled by GTCR will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Shares (other than the Rollover Shares and any Shares in respect of which dissent rights are exercised and not withdrawn) for a price of C$11.00 per Share in cash.

The Securityholder Meeting is scheduled to be held virtually via live audio webcast available online at https://virtual-meetings.tsxtrust.com/1854 on December 4, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time).
