PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. & DENVER--()--Mid-Atlantic Dental Service Holdings LLC, operating as Mid-Atlantic Dental Partners, a dental support organization (“DSO”) dedicated to improving the delivery of dental services for dentists and their patients and a portfolio company of S.C. Goldman & Company, LLC (“S.C. Goldman”), announced today that it completed its acquisition of Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. (OTCQX: BDMS) (“Birner Dental”).

In connection with the transaction, an affiliate of Mid-Atlantic Dental Partners purchased all of the outstanding shares of Birner Dental for $10.62 in cash. Birner Dental shareholders also received one Contingent Value Right (CVR) per share of Birner common stock owned. The CVRs entitle former Birner Dental shareholders to an additional cash payment of up to $0.13 per share under certain circumstances on June 14, 2020.

Today’s announcement is an exciting milestone for Mid-Atlantic Dental Partners, and we’re thrilled to welcome the Perfect Teeth family to our team,” said Mitchell Goldman, Chief Executive Officer of Mid-Atlantic Dental Partners. “At Mid-Atlantic Dental we have created a unique partnership model that allows us to support dental professionals so that they can focus on caring for their patients. We’re thrilled to expand this model to the southwest and mountain states.”

Mid-Atlantic Dental Partners offers dentists a new DSO model that supports dental professionals by providing marketing, financial, practice information and other business services so dentists can focus on delivering the highest quality care to their patients.

I am extremely excited about the opportunity for growth of the Perfect Teeth footprint in the southwest and mountain states. This growth will happen thoughtfully, ensuring a first-class team of dentists and hygienists, and a focus on the importance of oral health within a patient’s overall healthcare picture,” said Marlene Kacy, Vice President for Regional Operations for the Mountain Region.

Mid-Atlantic Dental Partners and Perfect Teeth together make a very strong partnership. Building on the established brand in the region, Mid-Atlantic has the ability to provide needed resources to build and expand the Perfect Teeth brand through significant investments in state-of-the-art technology, our clinical and administrative teams, and the offices. With the focus always on the ultimate patient experience,” added Leigh Feenburg, Chief Operating Officer of Mid-Atlantic Dental Partners.

The success of Mid-Atlantic Dental is due in part to the consistent growth of the U.S. dental care industry, driven largely by the aging Baby Boomer population, paired with an increasing number of dentists looking to reduce practice administrative burdens. These factors have positioned Mid-Atlantic Dental’s partnership model as a win-win solution.

Upon closing, Birner will become Rocky Mountain Dental Services Holdings, LLC. Birner will continue to be based in Denver, Colorado and will be locally managed. The newly affiliated locations will continue to do business under the Perfect Teeth brand.
