Murchinson Issues Presentation Detailing Urgent Need for Boardroom Change in Order to Save Nano Dimension


Murchinson Ltd. (collectively with its affiliates and funds it advises and/or sub-advises, “Murchinson” or “we”), a significant shareholder with approximately 7.1% of the outstanding shares of Nano Dimension Ltd. (NASDAQ: NNDM) (“Nano” or the “Company”), today issued a presentation detailing the urgent need for change in Nano’s boardroom. Murchinson is seeking to elect two highly qualified and independent director candidates to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for December 6, 2024.

The presentation highlights the following:

  • Since Yoav Stern became CEO in September of 2019, Nano’s enterprise value has declined 120%, and the Company has been trading below the value of its cash for the past three years.
  • Since Murchinson disclosed its intent to nominate directors at the 2023 annual general meeting, Nano has delivered a dismal total shareholder return of -30.3%.
  • Nano’s “consolidation-without-integration” capital allocation strategy has produced a string of acquisitions, but no revenue growth, no operating synergies and no ROI.
  • The Company’s corporate governance is broken, as evidenced by a Board that prioritizes management’s interests over those of shareholders (particularly when it comes to compensation), maintains a classified board structure, and has repeatedly resorted to attacking and suing its own shareholders instead of addressing legitimate critiques and ongoing concerns.
  • According to recent media coverage, questionable connections exist between Nano’s leadership and affiliates of a sanctioned Russian oligarch, further calling into question the Board’s judgment and governance.
  • Nano started 2024 with $1 billion in cash and marketable securities and is on course to spend over $400 million acquiring failing companies at inflated prices despite a track record of failed integration – if shareholders do not change the Board now, the Company will likely be worth substantially less by the next shareholder meeting with the possibility of bankruptcy in 2027.
  • Murchinson’s director candidates – Ofir Baharav and Robert Pons – are unquestionably independent and possess the right industry expertise, turnaround experience and ability to stand up to management that is sorely lacking on the current Board.

Murchinson encourages shareholders to review its presentation and to vote by November 27th to ensure their votes are counted. For information on how to vote for Murchinson’s nominees, visit www.SaveNanoDimension.com.
