On August 26, 2024, the following communication was sent to employees of Desktop Metal, Inc. and Nano Dimension Ltd.:

Hello Team,

As promised in our last communication, we are pleased to provide you with another update on the integration planning between our two companies as the acquisition takes a significant step towards closing.

Late last week, the acquisition cleared an antitrust milestone known as Hart-Scott-Rodino (“HSR”) with the expiration of a waiting period affiliated with the regulatory process. Please see Nano’s press release to learn more.

Additionally, the PMI teams recently met (mostly in person in Boston and some remotely by Teams) to discuss their first draft integration concepts and roadmaps. Within the limits of proper planning for the post-closing period, we have had a very lively and engaged discussion and aligned on a number of core areas of potential opportunity for Nano and DM once the merger is completed.

While it is too early to share details of these plans, we know there is an appetite for information, but we must do this properly and judiciously, so we are making sure we are doing our work thoroughly and in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Until then, the teams (and we stress that the teams are working as genuine teams) are starting to develop detailed plans and the most senior team is giving careful thought to the right way to build the combined organization after closing.

The opportunities are very significant as are the challenges, but our number one objective is to keep each of the two separate businesses running with as little disruption as possible while we march toward the goals of positive cash flow and profitability and creating a platform for growth.

We remain optimistic of the bright future our planned combination will bring to our employees, company and the market.

To be clear, until closing, Desktop Metal and Nano will remain separate companies and will continue to operate independently of one another, at arm’s length, just as before we announced the transaction.

Thank you so much for your continued dedication during this transition.
