Explanatory Note

On June 13, 2022, Desktop Metal, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8‐K (the “Original Form 8‐K”) to report, among other things, a strategic integration and cost optimization initiative that included a global workforce reduction, facilities consolidation and other operational savings measures (the “Initiative”). The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Form 8‐K in order to update the Company’s disclosure under Item 2.05 of the Original Form 8‐K, and to furnish the Company’s press release announcing additional activities under the Initiative under Item 7.01 of Form 8-K. The Original Form 8‐K otherwise remains unchanged.

Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

The Company disclosed in the Original Form 8K that it anticipated that it would incur one-time termination benefits and associated costs of $14.0 million and that it was conducting a facility rationalization assessment and assessing other operational savings measures. As a result, lease termination costs and other costs related to operational savings measures associated with the Initiative could not reasonably be estimated at the time.

As disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2022, in connection with the Initiative, the Company incurred $8.8 million of termination benefits and associated costs through September 30, 2022, and incurred an additional $1.0 million of termination benefits and associated costs in October 2022. The Company also incurred $3.1 million of charges for inventory write-off associated with discontinued equipment and parts during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

On January 31, 2023, the Company committed to additional actions to continue and expand the Initiative. These additional actions include closing and consolidating select locations in the United States and Canada and reducing the Company’s workforce by an additional 15%, prioritizing investments and operations in line with near-term revenue generation, positioning the company to achieve its long-term financial goals.

For all committed restructuring activities under the Initiative, the Company now expects to incur total pre-tax restructuring charges of $19.6 million to $26.0 million, which includes the following charges:

between $15.5 million and $17.5 million of one-time termination benefits and associated costs, which includes the original estimate of $14.0 million;

between $3.1 million and $5 million of inventory write-offs, including the $3.1 million of charges for inventory write-off as of September 30, 2022;

between $0.5 million and $2.0 million of lease termination and equipment exit costs; and

between $0.5 million and $1.5 million of costs associated with termination of contracts.

The total estimated charges are expected to result in between $10.5 million and $16.9 million of future cash expenditures. The ranges of charges described above are estimates, and actual amounts may be materially different from these estimates.

The Company continues to anticipate that the Initiative will be substantially complete by the end of 2023.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 2, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the continuation and expansion of the Initiative. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in Exhibit 99.1 is furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and such information shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
