September 6, 2024

 

Dear Stockholder:

 

According to our latest records, we have not yet received your vote for the October 2nd Special Meeting of Desktop Metal, Inc. stockholders in connection with the proposed merger with Nano Dimension Ltd. Your Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the merger agreement proposal. We believe the merger with Nano Dimension is the best and only viable option for stockholders.

 

The merger consideration is all-cash and is expected to represent a significant premium to the trading price before the merger was announced (assuming, among other things, that transaction expenses are in line with expectations). Meanwhile, the valuations for most publicly traded additive manufacturing companies have contracted as much as 95% since their all-time highs and few financing alternatives exist for many of these companies outside consolidation. In fact, we now expect Desktop Metal to run out of cash by the end of the first quarter of 2025. We urge you to protect the value of your investment and support the merger.

 

To ensure that your shares are represented, we encourage you to take a moment of your time to vote by Internet or by telephone--TODAY.

 

If you do not vote, it has the same effect as voting “against” the transaction.

 

If you received this letter by email, you may simply click on the “VOTE NOW” link provided in the email.

 

Very truly yours,  
   
/s/ Ric Fulop  
   
Ric Fulop  
Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer  
Desktop Metal, Inc.
