ITEM 1. CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT
Effective September 24, 1996, Mr. Ben J. Gallant was appointed
President and Chief Operating Officer of the registrant, American Dental
Technologies, Inc. ("ADT") by unanimous vote of ADT's Board of Directors. Mr.
Gallant is also chairman, president and chief executive officer of Texas
Airsonics, Inc. ("Texas Air"). Texas Air was acquired by and became a wholly
owned subsidiary of ADT on July 31, 1996. Mr. Gallant beneficially owns
3,767,456 shares of ADT common stock (approximately 13.7% of the 27,436,567
shares outstanding) and is one of ADT's largest stockholders. Mr. Gallant had
been chairman and president of Texas Air for more than ten years. He has
obtained numerous air abrasive patents and was chiefly responsible for the
development of ADT's KCP dental air abrasive product line and the Texas Air
industrial product line.
The action of the ADT Board of Directors has consolidated the powers
and duties of ADT's management, including the powers formerly held by the Chief
Executive Officer, into the office of the President and Chief Operating
Officer. Pursuant to ADT's By-Laws, Mr. Gallant is responsible for the general
and active management of ADT. The former Executive Committee consisting of Mr.
Gallant and Mr. Anthony D. Fiorillo has been dissolved. Mr. Fiorillo has
voluntarily relinquished all responsibilities as ADT's President and Chief
Operating Officer, but will continue with ADT and assist with the management of
the business, as directed by Mr. Gallant. Mr. Fiorillo may continue to use the
title Chief Executive Officer. The action of the Board of Directors is without
prejudice to any rights under Mr. Fiorillo's employment agreement.
Other than as previously described in Item 1 of its Form 8-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 1996, which is incorporated
herein by this reference thereto and as modified herein, ADT is unaware of any
arrangements which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of
the registrant.
