(&#8220;Dentsply Sirona&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) has been prepared for the reporting period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the &#8220;Rule&#8221;) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants who manufacture or contract to manufacture products containing conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. &#8220;Conflict Minerals&#8221; are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten and gold (3TG) for the purposes of this assessment. The &#8220;Covered Countries&#8221; for the purposes of the Rule are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#0d0c0c;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of their products may have originated in the Covered Countries, or if it is unable to determine the country of origin of those conflict minerals, then the registrant must exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals&#8217; source and chain of custody and submit a Conflict Minerals Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) that includes a description of those due diligence measures.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#0d0c0c;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">The SEC provided written guidance that explained that only registrants who elect to claim their products are &#34;DRC Conflict Free&#34; are subject to an independent private sector audit.

These due diligence measures were designed to conform with the framework in The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (&#8220;OECD&#8221;) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (&#8220;OECD Guidance&#8221;), an internationally recognized due diligence framework.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#0d0c0c;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">A Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (&#8220;RCOI&#8221;) was executed with all affected suppliers and&#47;or original manufacturers supplying parts and materials for products manufactured by Dentsply Sirona.

Dentsply Sirona&#8217;s internal project team continues to closely work with the external consultants and meet on a regular basis to develop and monitor plans to comply with the reporting requirements of the Rule.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#0d0c0c;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">System of Controls and Transparency</font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#0d0c0c;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">Due to the complexity of the Dentsply Sirona supply chain, Dentsply Sirona relies on its first-tier suppliers to provide information on the origin of conflict minerals potentially present in materials supplied to the Company. Dentsply Sirona established a system of controls and transparency over its supply chains for the 2019 reporting period by implementing a process to request its suppliers to submit information called for by the Rule. Dentsply Sirona has relied on the Responsible Minerals Initiative (&#8220;RMI&#8221;) formerly Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (&#8220;CFSI&#8221;) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the &#8220;CMRT&#8221;) sent to suppliers to gather information on the chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals potentially included in the Company&#8217;s products.

Dentsply Sirona performed a good faith, risk-based, global scoping exercise to identify suppliers that were considered in-scope and subject to the RCOI in the 2019 reporting period attempting to identify smelters and refiners of conflict minerals that may be necessary to the functionality or production of its products.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#0d0c0c;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">Dentsply Sirona elected to utilize, without alteration, the CMRT as well as a survey tool to facilitate its RCOI and due diligence efforts. Dentsply Sirona used the Assent&#8217;s Conflict Mineral Module, part of the Corporate Social Responsibility Suite, Conflict Minerals database as its survey tool. The gathered information includes the use of gold, tantalum, tungsten and tin and their necessity to product functionality or production, the origin of such minerals, and whether smelters have been validated as compliant in accordance with the CFSI.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#0d0c0c;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">For the 2019 calendar year, 340 suppliers of Dentsply Sirona were contacted, notifying them of the upcoming RCOI, the background and aim of the conflict minerals rule, and instructions to complete the template. Approximately 71% of the suppliers responded on time by submitting a copy of their CMRT and&#47;or declaration confirming that their products derive from non-DRC countries and 29% of the suppliers either returned incomplete responses or, despite follow-up efforts, did not provide a response. </font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#0d0c0c;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">Of the complete responses received, most of the suppliers advised that either materials were sourced from CFSI Compliant&#47;Active Supply or, the covered countries were not the origin of the conflict minerals supplied to Dentsply Sirona. </font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#0d0c0c;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">For the remainder of the responses not received as of May 15, 2020, Dentsply Sirona continues to follow up with those suppliers as a part of on-going due diligence and supplier management processes. These efforts include inquiring of such suppliers whether they provided information on all smelters where the conflict minerals originated, whether they performed due diligence procedures for non-certified smelters, and whether they were able to determine if the conflict minerals financed or benefited armed groups in the Covered Countries.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font><br></font></div><div style="position:relative;width:100%;height:72pt;"><div style="position:absolute;bottom:0;width:100%;"><div><font><br></font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="height:72pt;width:100%;"><div><font><br></font></div></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#0d0c0c;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;">OECD Step 3&#58; Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks</font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#0d0c0c;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">Dentsply Sirona has established RCOI and due diligence guidelines to be followed if the Company identifies risks that a supplier sources conflict mineral from the Covered Countries. Once an In-Scope Supplier identified in its CMRT response that it might be sourcing conflict minerals from the Covered Countries, Dentsply Sirona will implement follow-up procedures to collect more detailed information from the In-Scope Supplier.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#0d0c0c;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;">OECD Step 4&#58; Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence</font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#0d0c0c;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">The fourth step in the OECD guidance is to carry out independent third-party audits of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain.
