Introductory statement
As a distributor of opioids albeit a very small one Henry Schein has been named in litigation that has resulted from the crisis. What follows is information about our opioid sales, which represent a negligible part of Henry Scheins business.

We cannot get into the details, but if our systems detect an order as potentially suspicious, we flag it and then we investigate it. If, after investigation, we remain concerned, we identify the order as suspicious.

Yes, but we are not at liberty to discuss the details.
| Q6. | Have you dropped customers because of suspicious orders? |
Yes, but we cannot disclose any details.

Yes, we report sales to the appropriate state authorities and to the DEA.
| Q8. | What is Henry Scheins response to being named as a defendant in opioid litigation? |
We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against these actions.
