**Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers**

On September 19, 2025, the Compensation & Human Capital Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (the "Company") approved a one-time retention equity incentive award under the DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Retention Grant") to certain executives of the Company, including one of the named executive officers, Mr. Tony Johnson, who is the Senior Vice President and Chief Supply Chain Officer. The Committee awarded the Retention Grant to recognize Mr. Johnson's performance in his role during the recent transition of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer positions and to properly incentivize and encourage Mr. Johnson to remain employed with the Company through the next three years.

Mr. Johnson's Retention Grant will be made in the form of stock options with a grant date fair value of $2,000,000 and will cliff-vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, provided that Mr. Johnson remains continuously employed with the Company through the vesting date. The Retention Grant is expected to be granted on the second trading day after the filing of the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 (the "Grant Date"), and will expire on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date. Half of the Retention Grant will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's stock on the Grant Date (the "Standard Exercise Price"), and the remaining half will have an exercise price equal to 110% of the Standard Exercise Price.
