Merger Agreement

 

On September 25, 2024, Nano Dimension Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Nano US II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Markforged Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Markforged”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Markforged, with Markforged surviving the merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Following the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), Common Stock (as defined below) will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Merger Consideration. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Markforged (“Common Stock”) (other than (i) shares of Markforged preferred stock par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), (ii) shares of Common Stock held by Markforged as treasury stock or otherwise held directly by a Markforged subsidiary, the Company or Merger Sub, and (iii) shares of Common Stock held by Markforged stockholders that are entitled to, and have properly demanded appraisal for such shares, in accordance with, and have complied in all respects with, Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (such shares, “Dissenting Shares” and together with clauses (i)-(ii), the “Excluded Shares”)), will be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $5.00 per share (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), without interest and less any applicable tax withholdings. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Excluded Share, other than Dissenting Shares, will be cancelled and cease to exist and no consideration will be paid or payable in respect thereof. At the Effective Time, (i) each Dissenting Share will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and such Dissenting Stockholder (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Stockholders’ Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and (ii) each share of Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Excluded Shares, will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.

 

Stock Options. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each In-the-Money Company Stock Option (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is outstanding, vested and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled, and the holder of such In-the-Money Company Stock Option shall be entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, the Per Share Merger Consideration for each Net Share (as defined in the Merger Agreement) covered by such In-the-Money Company Stock Option, without interest and less applicable tax withholdings. For the avoidance of doubt, any Out-of-the-Money Company Stock Option (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be cancelled, and the holder thereof will receive no consideration therefor.

 

Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Each restricted stock unit of Markforged (each, a “Markforged RSU”) unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled and replaced with a grant by the Company of restricted share units (“Replacement RSUs”) on similar terms and conditions as were applicable to the Markforged RSUs under the Markforged incentive award plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) any continued employment or service requirement will be based on the applicable Continuing Company Employee’s (as defined in the Merger Agreement) continued employment or service with the Company or its subsidiaries, including the surviving corporation, (ii) except as otherwise agreed between Parent and the holder of the Markforged RSUs, each holder of such unvested Markforged RSU will have the right to elect to either (a) have the existing vesting schedule for such unvested Markforged RSU apply to the Replacement RSU that is replacing such unvested Markforged RSU or (b) receive an additional number of Replacement RSU in accordance with certain terms, and (iii) the number of Company ordinary shares, par value NIS 5.00 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), underlying the Replacement RSUs will be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon vesting of the Markforged RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time by the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Per Share Merger Consideration by (b) the volume weighted average price of an American Depositary Share of the Company (representing a beneficial interest in one (1) Ordinary Share) for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day that is immediately preceding the day that is three (3) days prior to the Closing, rounding down to the nearest whole number of shares and subject to certain customary reductions.

Warrants. Each warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Markforged Warrant”) will, in accordance with its terms, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder of the Markforged Warrant or Markforged, cease to represent a Markforged Warrant exercisable for Common Stock and will only represent the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration that the holder of such Markforged Warrant would have received if such Markforged Warrant had been exercised for Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

Earnout Shares. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time and without any action on the part of the recipient thereof, such recipient’s right to receive any Company Earnout Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be cancelled and the holders of such rights to receive Company Earnout Shares will be entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect to each Company Earnout Shares it is entitled to receive, a cash payment equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration that would be payable in accordance with the Merger Agreement in respect of a share of Common Stock.

 

Board Representation and Governance. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of Markforged will resign from office effective as of the Effective Time and the Board of Directors of Merger Sub will become the Board of Directors of Markforged. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, the officers of Markforged immediately prior to the Effective Time will continue to be the officers of Markforged. There will be no change to the Company’s Board of Directors as a result of the Merger.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by each of Markforged and the Company in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement or in filings and reports of the parties with the SEC. These confidential disclosure schedules contain information that modify, qualify and create exceptions to the representations, warranties and certain covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement. Information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.
