The Reporting Persons sent the following letter to the Company’s Board of Directors:

May 9, 2016

Birner Dental Management Services, Inc.

Board of Directors

1777 South Harrison Street, Suite 1400

Denver, Colorado 80210

Gentlemen:

We the undersigned shareholders of Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. (“BDMS” or the “Company”) collectively own 644,626 shares of BDMS’ common stock, representing 34.7% of its outstanding shares. We have beneficially owned this substantial stake in the Company for at least 18 years.

Over the last few years, we have seen BDMS’ business performance deteriorate precipitously. We are also aware of opportunities to recover the considerable losses from our investment, through for example, a transaction to sell BDMS. We strongly encourage BDMS to consider these opportunities seriously, and demand BDMS take proper steps to assure us it will do so. In the event BDMS fails to take meaningful steps in this regard, we shareholders intend to take more significant steps to preserve our investment.

Business Situation

The business situation is dire. The financial results of the Company have declined as EBITDA has fallen significantly and debt has ballooned. As a result, the Company recently had to terminate cash dividends. The BDMS share price responded accordingly, and has fallen to all-time lows. See the attached table from the Company’s recent 10-K. We are aware of the NASDAQ delisting notice issued to BDMS because shareholders’ equity was below the minimum for a listing.

The Company’s 2015 EBITDA margin was 5.8% versus the DSO industry average of 15%, as the DSO industry continues to thrive.

Board of Directors Response

We shareholders are not only disappointed by these operating results, but also frustrated by how the Board of Directors has failed to respond to the situation.

The Board continues to reward management for poor financial performance. This compensation package represents 23% of BDMS 2015 EBITDA, and was nearly three times the amount of companies of comparable size (in the range of $40 to $100 million in annual revenue). During the period from 2007 through 2015, the Company’s annual EBITDA decreased by over 52% yet the salaries to the CEO and CFO increased by over 34%.  In addition, bonuses paid by the Company to executives should be tied to EBITDA and should be consistent with comparable companies. In summary, the Board has paid in the range of three times the comparable compensation average of EBITDA while achieving around one-third of the average EBITDA performance in the industry.

Finally, the Board appears to have largely ignored opportunities to recover the considerable investor losses through a transaction to purchase BDMS. We are aware of at least one serious opportunity in which Blackford Dental Management, LLC approached the Company’s Board with a purchase proposal in the per share price range of $20.50-$23.00 with no financing contingencies, subject to a due diligence review.  This represents a 127%-155% premium above the closing price of BDMS shares of $9.04 on April 20, 2016. We understand that BDMS rejected Blackford Dental’s proposal in a one-line email response from CEO Fred Birner as “inadequate.”

We shareholders find such a credible offer at least worthy of serious consideration, and possibly very attractive. We are dismayed to hear that BDMS dismissed it without engaging in any discussions with Blackford.

7

Shareholder Response

In light of both the long-term Company performance and recent events, we shareholders demand that BDMS take the following steps:

1) Explain in detail the process for considering the Blackford proposal, including:

•analysis undertaken;

•which outside advisors BDMS retained to consider it;

•the basis for rejecting the proposal; and

•how the Board was involved in the analysis, and the Board vote on the proposal.

2) Implement immediately a formal process for considering strategic alternatives and thereby improving value, including the Blackford offer and any similar offers:

•appoint and charter a Special Committee of the Board, consisting only of independent directors, with shareholder input to its specific members, with complete authority to consider the Blackford offer and any similar offers

•retain independent legal counsel and financial advisors to the Special Committee

•appoint a shareholder representative as an observer to the Special Committee, including authority to attend all committee meetings, obtain all written analysis, without voting privileges.

3) Present to us management’s case for BDMS remaining independent. Based on the response to Blackford, it appears that the Board and management think they can deliver financial results that merit a near term price of at least $23.00 per share. We request an analysis that shows the strategic, operational, and financial plans that will deliver these results.

Next Steps

We shareholders urge the Board to take seriously our demands. We request a response to this letter from the Board in one week from the date of this letter. We expect that response to include the requested explanation of the process for considering the Blackford proposal, details on the Special Committee, and a presentation of the case for BDMS’ independence.

In the absence of a response from the Board, we shareholders will have no choice but to take appropriate steps preserve our interests.

We look forward to your response.
