Nano Dimension: Stratasys New Release Misleads Their Shareholders

Court rules that Nano Dimension’s Board Has Full Authority to Proceed with the Stratasys Transaction.

Stratasys Deprive THEIR Shareholders of Immediate and Guaranteed Cash Return
Nano Dimension is Committed to Consummate a Transaction with Stratasys

Waltham, Mass., April 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nano Dimension Ltd. (Nasdaq: NNDM, “Nano Dimension”, “NANO” or the “Company”), a leading supplier of Additively Manufactured Electronics (“AME”) and multi-dimensional polymer, metal & ceramic Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) 3D printers, today responded to the statement released by Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS) on April 18^th, 2023:

“It is disappointing that Stratasys has resorted to sowing misinformation and falsehoods in its rebuff of Nano Dimension’s acquisition offer that would provide immediate and certain cash payment at a compelling premium to share price to Stratasys shareholders.

COURT RULED: NANO CAN COMPLETE THE STRATASYS ACQUISITION:
These claims are nothing more than a desperate attempt to mask the Board’s clear entrenchment and efforts to mislead shareholders. The facts speak for themselves.

• The Israeli court’s ruling vindicated Nano Dimension’s position that its Board of Directors has the full authority to continue to lead and govern the Company as they have been, including as it relates to Nano Dimension’s proposed acquisition of Stratasys.
  • Clearly the Stratasys’ board members are trying to exploit the court decision in order to interfere with the Company’s intention to initiate a Special Tender Offer to the shareholders of Stratasys in order to preserve their position as board members. In its ruling from April 16^th, 2023, the district court in Lod, Israel, rejected Murchinson’s motion and stated explicitly that Murchinson’s motion “whereby the Company will not be allowed to take any action that is not in the ordinary course of business… will harm the Company in an excessive way” and explicitly mentioned the completion of the Stratasys transaction as an example where such a restriction cannot be accepted.

• The Company has a clear and full authority to take actions that are not in the ordinary course of business including the Stratasys transaction and any claim made to the contrary by Stratasys is false and misleading.  

MURCHINSON & ANSON’S ILIGAL ACTIONS:

• The Company intends to appeal against the appointment of the two observers.
  The fact remains that Murchinson and Anson’s sham vote was illegitimate and invalid. Nano Dimension is appealing to the Israeli Supreme Court to block the Court’s temporary appointment of the two Murchinson observers, which is not for the best interest of the Company and its shareholders; those observers have one goal – to interfere with the Company’s business affairs and transactions and as a result harm the interests of the Company’s shareholders. Murchinson’s aggressive action to call an illegal shareholders meeting should not be rewarded with an appointment of two observers, where other shareholders do not enjoy the same right.

• Murchinson and Anson’s Invalid Meeting Results Demonstrate Nano Dimension Shareholders’ Lack of Interest in their Agenda: Over 90% of Nano Dimension shares, excluding those owned by Murchinson or Anson, either voted against Murchinson’s nominees or took no action. In other words, excluding their own shares, Murchinson and Anson garnered support representing less than 9.5% of shares voted. The embarrassingly low voter turnout is proof that Nano Dimension shareholders will not be coerced by an actor who the Company believes is solely interested in making a quick profit at the expense of substantial potential long-term value for other shareholders.

“IT’S TIME TO ALLOW STRATASYS SHAREHOLDERS TO HAVE THEIR SAY:
Nano Dimension will continue to proceed towards acquiring Stratasys as it prepares for an all-cash special tender offer at $18.00 per share, which would allow shareholders to choose for themselves and receive a significant and immediate premium for their shares.”
