MELVILLE, New York – Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC), the largest provider of healthcare products and services to office-based practitioners in the combined North American and European markets, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement which will enable it to acquire the full-service and special markets business of Becker-Parkin Dental Supply Co., a privately held company. The transaction is expected to be completed in July. Becker-Parkin's full-service business offers customers consumable dental products and equipment through field sales representatives, and the company's special markets business serves corporate dental customers with multiple offices and centralized purchasing. Combined, Henry Schein estimates these two businesses will contribute approximately $40-45 million in revenue in its first full year. Henry Schein expects the acquisition to be neutral to 2007 EPS and slightly accretive to 2008 earnings. This excludes a pretax gain of approximately $2 million in 2007, which will be realized upon the disposition of certain businesses of Becker-Parkin. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
