On January 15, 2021, Desktop Metal Inc. (the “Company”), EnvisionTEC US, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”) and EnvisionTEC Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II”), entered into a Purchase Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Envisiontec, Inc. (“envisionTEC”), Gulf Filtration Systems, Inc. (“Gulf”), 3dbotics, Inc. (“3dbotics” and together with envisionTEC, Gulf and 3dbotics, and Envisiontec GmbH (“envisionTEC Germany”) the “envisionTEC Group”), and Ali El-Siblani (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Company intends to acquire the envisionTEC Group. The acquisition of the envisionTEC Group is expected to be accomplished by means of (i) the mergers (the “Mergers”) of (A) Merger Sub I with and into envisionTEC, with envisionTEC continuing as the surviving corporation, and subsequently, (B) envisionTEC with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company; and (ii) the share purchase, whereby the Company will purchase from the Seller all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of envisionTEC Germany, Gulf and 3dbotics (the “Share Purchase”). The aggregate (a) cash purchase price for the Mergers and the Share Purchase is $150 million, with such cash amount being subject to a customary adjustment based on, among other things, the amount of cash, debt and working capital in the business at the closing date and (b) stock consideration is a number of shares of Class A common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) determined by dividing $150 million by the average volume-weighted trading price on the New York Stock Exchange for one share of the Class A common stock of the Company for the ten day closing price average, subject to a customary collar that allows for adjustment if the ten day closing price average is 10% greater or 10% less than the ten day signing price average.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by Seller, the envisionTEC Group (except for envisionTEC Germany, which is not a party to the Merger Agreement) and the Company. The parties have agreed to indemnify each other for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants. The completion of the transactions are subject to, among other things, the expiration of the applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and other customary closing conditions. The transactions are not subject to any financing contingency.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances, including by either party if the transactions have not been completed by July 15, 2021, or by September 15, 2021, if certain conditions of the Merger Agreement have otherwise been met. The Company currently anticipates that the transactions will be completed in February 2021.

The description of the Merger Agreement set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The Merger Agreement and the above description have been included to provide information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or any other parties to the Merger Agreement or their respective affiliates or equityholders. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for the purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of the specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties thereto, may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between each party rather than establishing matters of fact, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to the Company’s filings required by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and may be subject to qualifications or limitations agreed upon by the parties in connection with the negotiated terms, including being qualified by schedules and other disclosures made by each party. Accordingly, the representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement should not be relied upon as statements of factual information.

Shares Issued Pursuant to Merger Agreement

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) is incorporated herein by reference.

All Shares are expected to be issued to the Seller in transactions anticipated to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Seller represented his intention to acquire the Shares for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution, and appropriate restrictive legends are expected to be affixed to the certificates representing the Shares (or reflected in a restricted book entry with the Company’s transfer agent). The Seller also had adequate access, through business relationships and the course of negotiations, to information about the Company and could, with counsel and his professional experience, evaluate that information.

Warrant Issuance

On February 24, 2020, the Company issued a non-interest-bearing Promissory Note (the “Note”) to Trine Sponsor IH, LLC (“Trine”). Under the Note, Trine has the option to convert any unpaid balance of the Note into warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock equal to the principal amount of the Note so converted divided by $1.00. The terms of any such warrants will be identical to the terms of the warrants issued by the Company to Trine in the private placement of warrants that occurred concurrently with the Company’s initial public offering of its unit. On January 14, 2021, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of its Class A common stock to Trine in full satisfaction of the Note (the “Working Capital Warrant”).

The Working Capital Warrant was issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. Trine represented to the Company that it was acquiring the Working Capital Warrant for its own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof. Accordingly, the Working Capital Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. Appropriate legends have been affixed to the Working Capital Warrant.

The Company issued a press release on January 15, 2021 announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached to this 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 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 or the Exchange Act.
