ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS, AND RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES |
1. ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS, AND RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES Organization and Nature of Business Desktop Metal, Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts. The company was founded in 2015 and is accelerating the transformation of manufacturing with 3D printing solutions for engineers, designers, and manufacturers. The Company designs, produces and markets 3D printing systems and services to a variety of end customers. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company” and “Desktop Metal” refer to the consolidated operations of Desktop Metal, Inc., and its subsidiaries. References to “Trine” refer to the company prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and references to “Legacy Desktop Metal” refer to Desktop Metal Operating, Inc. prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies of similar size in its industry, including, but not limited to, the need for successful development of products, the need for additional funding, competition from substitute products and services from larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, patent litigation, dependence on key individuals, and risks associated with changes in information technology. The Company has financed its operations to date primarily with proceeds from the sale of preferred stock, the Business Combination, and the sale of convertible senior notes due in 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) in May 2022. The Company’s long-term success is dependent upon its ability to successfully market its products and services; generate revenue; maintain or reduce its operating costs and expenses; meet its obligations; obtain additional capital when needed; and, ultimately, achieve profitable operations. Recent Developments Proposed Merger with Nano Dimension Ltd. On July 2, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Nano Dimension Ltd., an Israeli company (“Nano”), and Nano US I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Nano (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Nano (the “Merger”). Following the closing of the Merger, the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below), will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and will be deregistered under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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 Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) (other than (i) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), (ii) shares held by the Company as treasury stock or held directly by a subsidiary of the Company, Nano or Merger Sub and (iii) shares of Common Stock held by 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”)) will be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $5.50 (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), without interest, subject to downward adjustment, by an amount (the “Consideration Adjustment Amount”) equal to the sum of (x) the product of (A) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Bridge Loan Facility (as defined below) together with accrued and unpaid interest, as of the closing of the Merger divided by $2.5 million, and (B) $0.10 (provided that in no event will the adjustment pursuant to (x) hereunder be greater than $0.80), plus (y) the product of (A) all unpaid Company Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as of the closing of the Merger divided by $2.5 million, and (B) $0.10 (provided that in no event will the adjustment pursuant to (y) hereunder be greater than $0.60), plus (z) $0.0325 if certain executives of the Company do not execute severance letter agreements prior to the closing, in each of the following cases (x), (y) and (z), subject further to any tax withholding. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of Preferred Stock, each Dissenting Share and, when converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, each share of Common Stock, will be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate formerly representing such shares of Common Stock will thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. The Company’s stockholders approved the Merger at a special meeting of stockholders held on October 2, 2024. The Merger is subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. For further information about the Merger Agreement, refer to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 3, 2024. Reverse Stock Split On June 10, 2024 after obtaining stockholder approval, the Company effected a 1-for- reverse stock split, and the Company’s Class A common stock began trading on the post-split adjusted basis on June 11, 2024. All shares of the Company’s common stock, stock-based instruments and per-share data included in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted as though the stock split has been effected prior to all periods presented. Termination of Merger with Stratasys Ltd. On May 25, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Stratasys Merger Agreement”), by and among Stratasys Ltd. (“Stratasys”), Tetris Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Stratasys (“Stratasys Merger Sub”), and the Company, pursuant to which Stratasys Merger Sub was to merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Stratasys (the “Stratasys Merger”). The Stratasys Merger was subject to approval by shareholders of Stratasys and Desktop Metal. At an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of Stratasys held on September 28, 2023, Stratasys shareholders did not approve the proposal related to the Stratasys Merger Agreement. Accordingly, on September 28, 2023, Stratasys sent Desktop Metal a notice of termination of the Stratasys Merger Agreement. As a result, and under the terms of the Stratasys Merger Agreement, Stratasys paid $10.0 million to Desktop Metal for reimbursement of expenses, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The termination fee was paid on October 6, 2023. Going concern Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) codification Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, the Company is required to assess its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $1.8 billion as of September 30, 2024. The Company expects to continue to incur additional losses and negative cash flows from operations in the near term. The Company will require additional capital investment to fund operating and capital expenditure requirements. The Company may seek additional capital through arrangements with Nano or from other sources, including, but not limited to, equity and debt financings. Additional equity financing may not be available, and if it is available, it may not be on terms favorable to the Company and could be dilutive to current stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants and dilutive financing instruments. Similarly, arrangements with Nano or from other sources may not be on terms favorable to the Company, and could be dilutive to current stockholders. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured. If the merger is not completed and if capital is not available to the Company when, and in the amounts needed, the Company could be required to delay, scale back or abandon some or all its operations, which could materially harm the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Because of this uncertainty, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty, nor do they include adjustments to reflect the future effects of the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
