(collectively with its affiliates and funds it advises and/or sub-advises, “Murchinson” or “we”), the largest shareholder with approximately 5.2% of the outstanding shares of Nano Dimension Ltd.

The letter also includes as an appendix a comprehensive list of the real questions shareholders should be asking Mr. Stern and the Board.

Fellow Shareholders,
As Nano Dimension’s largest shareholder, Murchinson’s interests are directly aligned with yours. We have one goal: to reverse the appalling value destruction under Yoav Stern’s Chairmanship and ensure that the Board starts acting in the best interests of all shareholders. Nano Dimension shares have declined by more than 77% since Mr. Stern was appointed Chairman in 20211. Further, the Company currently has a negative enterprise value of more than $400 million. These are not opinions or “misinformation.” They are real facts.
Is the Stern-led Board interested in defending its performance and laying out a coherent blueprint for reversing the tide? No. Instead, the main concern of the Board and its high-priced advisors seems to be doing everything possible to scare you, the shareholders, from voting at the upcoming Special Meeting.
Shareholders should ask themselves these critical questions:
We believe the answer to each of these questions is that the Stern-led Board knows the facts are not on their side. Shareholders should take the time to draw conclusions for themselves – we encourage you to read the presentation Murchinson recently issued, available here. This document carefully details the current Board’s track record of dismal underperformance, terrible corporate governance and insider dealings, and poor capital allocation. Unlike the Company, Murchinson’s case for change is not built on innuendo or transparent scare tactics. It is built on facts.
It is also imperative that shareholders do not take Mr. Stern’s ever-changing narrative at face value. For example, after previously claiming that the discount to NAV at which Nano Dimension shares trade “puzzled” and “frustrated” him,2 Mr. Stern is now suddenly making the case that it is natural that the Company would trade so far below cash value and that this is all part of his plan. The reality is that this apparent about-face is a reactive stance driven by Murchinson’s call for a Special Meeting. Similarly, Mr. Stern is taking credit for now launching a $100 million share repurchase program – something he could have done for months when the share price was even lower than it is today but has chosen to do now that he is under pressure as a result of our efforts.
Without shareholder-driven change, the status quo will continue at Nano Dimension. We encourage shareholders to support our four proposals, including removing four legacy directors and replacing them with two highly-qualified, truly independent nominees – Kenneth H. Traub and Dr. Joshua Rosensweig. These two individuals are corporate governance experts with demonstrated track records of improving company performance to benefit all shareholders, and we believe they can be instrumental in helping right the ship at Nano Dimension.
Thank you for your support.
Moshe Sarfaty
