Sol Zelman's questions to Nano Dimension (NNDM) leadership • Q3 2024
Question
Sol Zelman of Gericare asked about the potential for activist investors to derail the pending acquisitions and requested clarification on the CFIUS regulatory process.
Answer
Executive Yoav Stern explained that CFIUS is a standard regulatory process, which is nearly complete for the Desktop Metal deal and expected to be shorter for Markforged. Regarding the activist threat, Stern stated that two new directors would be a minority on the board and could not legally derail deals that are already signed and contractually committed. While acknowledging he worries about all risks, he conveyed that legal counsel sees no path for the activists to kill the transactions.
