WALTHAM, MA – Nano Dimension announced that it has commenced a special tender offer to purchase between 38.8% and 40.8% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Stratasys for $18 per share in cash.

The successful completion of the offer would result in Nano Dimension’s beneficial ownership of between 53% and 55% of the outstanding Stratasys shares, inclusive of the approximately 14.2% of Stratasys’ outstanding ordinary shares that Nano Dimension currently owns.

Nano Dimension said the offer represents a premium of 26% to the unaffected closing price as of March 3, a 39% premium to the 60-day VWAP as of March 3rd, and a 12.5% premium to the $16 future target price published by Stratasys’ financial advisor, J.P. Morgan, on March 2.

"As we had previously indicated to the Stratasys Board, given their continued refusal to engage in negotiations, we have decided to present our offer directly to Stratasys’ shareholders," said Nano Dimension Chairman and CEO Yoav Stern. "We believe our offer delivers certain all-cash value to Stratasys’ shareholders at a premium in excess of what Stratasys can deliver to its shareholders. We look forward to successfully completing the special tender offer as we continue to execute on our strategic plan to drive value creation for customers and shareholders and to create a preeminent leader in the rapidly growing AM market."

Nano Dimension has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a tender offer statement on Schedule TO, including an offer to purchase, which provides the terms and conditions of the special tender offer. The special tender offer will expire at 11:59 p.m. EDT on Monday, June 26th, 2023, unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the proposed offer to purchase and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Israeli law.

The closing of the special tender offer is subject to certain conditions, including that at least 5% of the issued and outstanding Stratasys shares are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, at least 53% of the issued and outstanding Stratasys shares when aggregated with the Stratasys shares held by Nano Dimension are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, the Stratasys board of directors redeem its Rights Plan, dated July 25, 2022 and any Rights that may be issued and outstanding thereunder or Nano Dimension being satisfied in its sole discretion that the Rights will not become exercisable as a result of the tender offer, as described in the tender offer materials, including the offer to purchase, a related letter of transmittal and other tender offer documents.
