September 23, 2024

 

Dear Fellow Stockholder:

 

The upcoming special meeting of stockholders of Desktop Metal, Inc. on October 2, 2024 is fast approaching, and according to our records, we have not received your vote. This is a unique opportunity to make a direct impact on your investment. Please also note that by voting, you will also be removed from future communications about the meeting.

 

Approval of the proposed merger requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock held on the record date. If you do not vote, it has the same effect as voting “Against” the transaction.

 

It is important to note that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”), the leading independent proxy voting advisory firm to thousands of the world’s largest investment institutions, has recommended that stockholders vote in favor of the proposed merger.

 

According to the ISS report, “the sales process suggests the offer is likely the best available at this time, shareholders are receiving a premium, the implied valuation appears fair, and the cash consideration provides liquidity and immediate value. Based on these factors, support FOR the proposed transaction is warranted.”

 

We remind stockholders that if the merger is not approved, Desktop Metal is expected to run out of cash by the end of the first quarter 2025, which may (i) require the company to undertake financings that may be severely dilutive to you and/or (ii) result in a risk of bankruptcy.

 

Voting is easy. You can vote through the Internet or by telephone. Please vote as soon as possible.

 

Very truly yours,

 

/s/ Ric Fulop  

 

Ric Fulop

Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Desktop Metal, Inc.
