forward as one company focused on the mass production of end-use
parts through AM. We’ve begun the process of careful integration
with the goal of driving outsized growth for the combined company
in the years to come. We believe Desktop Metal is uniquely
positioned to provide the widest range of end-use applications, and
we are excited about the value creation opportunity for our
customers, partners, shareholders, and employees."
Under the terms of the agreement, ExOne shareholders received
$8.50 in cash and $16.43 in shares of Desktop Metal common stock
for each share of ExOne common stock, for a total purchase price of
approximately $24.93 per share, representing a transaction value of
