The lawsuit against SmileDirect alleges, among other things, that SmileDirect failed to disclose to investors that administrative personnel, rather than licensed doctors, provided treatment to customers and thus the Company's practices did not qualify as teledentistry. In addition, the lawsuit alleges that SmileDirect was subject to regulatory scrutiny for the unlicensed practice of dentistry, that the efficacy of the Company's treatment was overstated, and that the Company had concealed these deceptive marketing practices prior to the IPO. As a result, the lawsuit alleges that the Company's positive statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially misleading or lacked a reasonable basis.

Investors who purchased SDC common stock in connection with the IPO are encouraged to contact the Thornton Law Firm's shareholder rights team by submitting your information at www.tenlaw.com/cases/sdc. Interested SDC shareholders have until December 2, 2019 to apply to be lead plaintiff. The class has not yet been certified. Until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member.
