With Major Milestone Cleared, Closing of
Transaction Expected in the Fourth Quarter, Pending Final
Regulatory Approvals
Nano Dimension Ltd. (Nasdaq: NNDM) (“Nano Dimension”) and
Desktop Metal, Inc. (NYSE: DM) (“Desktop Metal” or “DM”) today
jointly announced that, at a special meeting, Desktop Metal
stockholders approved the merger agreement pursuant to which
Desktop Metal would be acquired by Nano Dimension.
Of approximately 33 million outstanding DM shares, 60% were
voted in favor of the approval of the merger agreement between
Desktop Metal and Nano Dimension. Out of the total shares
participating in the vote, greater than 96% of votes were cast in
favor of the merger.
DM stockholder approval completes a critical requirement in the
process of closing the transaction. While there are still some
required regulatory approvals, the transaction is expected to close
in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The final voting results of the Desktop Metal stockholder
meeting held on October 2, 2024, will be filed in a Current Report
on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) by Desktop Metal.
Ric Fulop, Desktop Metal’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer,
said, “We are pleased that our stockholders, who have supported
Desktop Metal over the years, are accepting the recommendation of
our board of directors. This industry needs the combination of
great products and technologies with a strong balance sheet to
become self-sustaining. The agreement to combine with Nano
Dimension is the best offer for stockholders to realize value from
their current holdings in Desktop Metal. We appreciate the support
of our stockholders.”
Yoav Stern, Nano Dimension’s Chief Executive Officer and member
of the Board of Directors, said: “We are another step closer to
closing the acquisition of Desktop Metal and building a strong, new
leader in the digital manufacturing space. Now, Nano Dimension will
stay focused on obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals and
finalizing post-merger integration plans which will enable us to
close this deal and move the new business forward as soon as
possible. The further business combination expected to close soon
thereafter with Markforged reinforces the goal to build up a
profitable industry leader.”
