This filing is made on behalf of both Markforged Holding Corporation (Markforged) and Nano
Dimension Ltd. (Nano) with respect to the following email from Nano sent to employees of Markforged on October 17, 2024:
Dear Teams,
We are excited to be sending the first merger update email going to employees of all three companies in the process of joining together as one solidified
Digital Manufacturing enterprise.
As we provide these updates, we are committed to being as transparent and honest as we can, given that some decisions
remain in flux. It is also important to note that these emails should be kept in confidence and should not be shared or discussed externally from your current parent company.
On Oct. 8, leadership team members from Nano Dimension, Desktop Metal, and Markforged met for the first time to continue our ongoing planning to join as one.
While until the completion of the regulatory and other approvals processes, we are operating as three independent companies, as we have done until now, we plan to be ready to hit the ground running once all approvals are met.
Our Day One planning involves the merger of Nano and DM, which we expect will take place first. Day Two planning involves the merger
of Nano and Markforged, at which time we will kick off what well call New-Co for now, which is short for New Company. The dates for Day One and Two will depend on regulatory approvals and
other factors.
During our session, it became clear that there are many things to be excited about and whilst for now, as mentioned above, we must operate
separately for the near term, heres what we can share so far:
One, we expect our headquarters to be in Greater Boston specifically at
the Markforged headquarters.
Two, while it is too early to make conclusions about the nature of the integrated product portfolio, we are of a
common view that we will have the strongest and most innovative product portfolio in the Additive Manufacturing for real production applications. We fully expect to be able to offer the market the very best technologies in certain categories, where
we will be completely unmatched in our portfolio and technical prowess.
Three, we will have a smart Go-to-Market strategy mix that includes a continuation of successful channels, transactional selling into R&D, academia, and health care, as well as solution selling of industrial applications.
While there is still much to do as we progress through this process, we thank you for your patience and dedication to your near-term business tasks. As
always, reach out to your manager if you have any specific questions.
Lastly, we want to update you that we are trying to organize a social get together
for all of our Boston-based teams in the coming weeks at which Yoav would like to join us to meet you and to set out his vision for this exciting future. More details to follow.
