Nano Dimension Encourages Stratasys Shareholders to Replace Entrenched Board and Highlights Problematic Track Records of Stratasys Directors

Stratasys Board Has Repeatedly Neglected Its Fiduciary Duties to the Detriment of Its Shareholders’ Interests

Focused on Creating Value for All Shareholders – by Enabling
Competing Bids for Stratasys to be Negotiated to Maximize Shareholder Value

Nano Dimension Highlights Historical Problematic Track Records, Subpar Performance
and Questionable Reputations of Stratasys’ Entrenched, Non-Shareholder Friendly Directors

To Learn More about Nano’s Vision for Stratasys and Details of Its Special Tender Offer for Stratasys Shares, visit www.StratasysValueNow.com

Waltham, Mass., July 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nano Dimension Ltd. (Nasdaq: NNDM, “Nano Dimension”, “Nano” or the “Company”), a leading supplier of Additively Manufactured Electronics (“AME”) and multi-dimensional polymer, metal & ceramic Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) 3D printers, encourages Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS) (“Stratasys”) Shareholders to replace their entrenched Board with Nano Dimension’s director nominees through their upcoming vote at Stratasys’ August 8^th, 2023 Annual General Meeting (“AGM”).

The Stratasys Board of Directors (the “Board”) have checkered personal backgrounds as well as a warped command of corporate governance. Nano is calling for a replacement of the Stratasys Board’s members in order to re-align Stratasys’ governance with the interest of shareholders.

The new board will focus on enabling the present competing bids to increase shareholder value PREVENTING the present Board of Directors from blocking two alternatives for Stratasys’ Shareholders.

STRATASYS’ CURRENT ENTRENCHED BOARD:

The actions of the current Stratasys Board of Directors have raised significant concerns about their practices and lack of commitment to shareholder interests:

● 6 of the 8 directors have spent an alarmingly long time together on the Board, suggesting a lack of new perspectives and fresh ideas, not to speak about obvious years of “one-hand-washes-the-other” issues. 

● They have demonstrated a blatant disregard for shareholders’ interests and resistance to change. Attempts to add a new independent director as recently as 2-3 years ago were met with pushback. While a new director joined the Board in 2020, he was ousted barely a year later in 2021 following some self-serving corporate governance maneuvers geared at maintaining the underperforming status quo and the mummified Board’s grip on power. 

● The Stratasys Board has lined their own pockets while overseeing poor performance, indulging themselves with exorbitant salaries and annual equity grants, cumulatively equaling approximately $1,820,000¹ in FY 2022 for 8 directors, not including meeting fees, (for approximately 10-20 meetings per annum), and travel & entertainment expense.

Adding to their questionable track record, the Board’s decision-making has been marred by destructive acquisitions. They have made poor, value-destructive and money-wasting acquisitions and/or failed to integrate the acquisitions of Origin, Ultimaker, SolidConcepts, and MakerBot, followed by the questionable divestment and reinvestment in MakerBot. These actions demonstrate a lack of strategic foresight and a failure to prioritize long-term value creation for the company and its shareholders.

Furthermore, the interconnections between board members raise independence concerns, resulting from directors having other mutual commercial interests which are not related to their fiduciary duties at Stratasys. Presently, two Stratasys directors, Dov Ofer and David Reis, sit on the board of Scodix Ltd. In the past, Adina Shorr served as CEO of Scodix Ltd. during Dov Ofer’s directorship. These overlapping interests raise questions about objectivity of the directors, further eroding trust in their decision-making.

These revelations paint a troubling picture of the Stratasys Board of Directors. Their long tenure, rejection of new voices, self-serving compensation practices, poor acquisition decisions, and intertwined relationships raise serious doubts about their ability to act in the best interests of Stratasys and its shareholders.

¹ Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ:SSYS) Form 20-F Filing for Fiscal Year 2022, filed March 3^rd, 2023; Director Compensation and Director/Officer Equity Compensation

Below are a few examples of the questionable track records that warrant the replacement of board members of Stratasys:

*Yair Seroussi – was formerly the Chairman of a large Israeli bank but had to resign allegedly because of allegations that he had failed to report a sexual assault by the CEO of a female employee². Seroussi hid the information from the bank’s board of directors and from the Bank of Israel, colluding with the CEO. 

Once again scheming with the same CEO, Seroussi was also found guilty of aiding and abetting tax-evasion for U.S. citizens – in exchange for millions of dollars of kickbacks. Under his leadership, the bank had to cough up a fine of almost $900 million³ to U.S. authorities, in addition to being forced to pay significant personal fines for his crimes. An investigation committee disclosed that, as Chairman, Seroussi and his friend the CEO behaved unreasonably and personally received millions of dollars as bonuses on account of tax evasion schemes they led through the bank’s branch in Switzerland. 

*Dov Ofer (Chairman) – was the former CEO of Lumenis Ltd. Dov Ofer’s tenure was marked by a period of stagnation. After his appointment, the company experienced a decrease in revenue⁴.

After continued underperformance under Ofer’s leadership, the Lumenis board opted to hold him accountable, removing Ofer as CEO and bringing in a new chief executive officer.

This change proved that the prior issue was the failing management by Ofer, not the company. The new CEO was able to revitalize the company’s growth trajectory. Lumenis Ltd. experienced a remarkable turnaround recovery following Dov Ofer’s tenure as CEO, with revenue increasing by an impressive 51% from $265 million in 2013 to $400 million in 2018⁵.

The stark contrast between the performance of Lumenis Ltd. during Ofer’s tenure and the subsequent growth achieved under the new CEO highlights the impact of leadership on the company’s success. The decision to replace Ofer ultimately proved to be a strategic move that revitalized the company and set it on a path of substantial growth.

*David Reis - was the former CEO of Stratasys until his resignation in 2016. Under Reis’ leadership, investors in Stratasys have experienced a challenging value-destructing ride over several years. Sales and Stratasys share prices have both plunged amid a $1.4 billion loss last year.

The company’s acquisition of desktop printer manufacturer, MakerBot, in 2013 for over $490M⁶ (approx. $16M in revenue per annum at prior year)⁷ was a failure. MakerBot has suffered greatly, replacing leadership three times, producing a problematic 3D printer component, and leaving Stratasys with such significant losses that Reis’s Stratasys became part of a class action lawsuit. The consumer brand laid off almost 40% of its workforce and shut down its retail shops.

Meanwhile, the value of Stratasys shares collapsed over the course of the two years post-acquisition, from record highs of almost $137 per share in 2013 to around $23 per share by the end of 2015⁸. The lawsuit alleges that the drop in Stratasys shares in 2015 was caused by fraudulent practices in the MakerBot-related business⁹.

MakerBot was eventually spun out 9 years later after major losses and cash burn. Reis has left a trail of massive write-downs yet continued to be a member of the board and Executive Committee, which is comprised of just three people, together with Dov Ofer.

Interestingly, while the courts decided that Stratasys was not to blame for securities fraud, it stated that under Reis, Stratasys used “...hyperbole and exaggeration… mere puffery…vague and such obvious hyperbole… Stratasys’s statements…are vague and unreliable”¹⁰

This history of misleading disclosures raises serious questions about Stratasys’ present statements:

The same executives accountable for misleading their shareholders are still directors at the helm: Reis has been a Director since 2013, and as recently as 2018-2019 also served as a member of the “executive committee” together with Mr. Ofer.

Another problem facing Stratasys under Reis that garnered much attention was a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. The SEC’s enforcement decision approached the company in early 2016¹¹ on the matter, which was briefly mentioned in Stratasys’ latest 20-F filing with the SEC. According to industry pundits, Reis’ resignation was certainly precipitated by the 30% decrease in the share price and the mounting pressure from disgruntled shareholders¹². 

*Ziva Patir – was the former CEO of the Standards Institution of Israel. During her tenure the Israeli Ministry of Finance demanded that she return tens of thousands of shekels, which she allegedly received in an improper manner from the Institute¹³. Additionally, an inspection conducted by the Capital Markets Division of the Ministry of Finance revealed a misallocation of funds under the management of Ziva Patir, resulting in employees having to return a substantial sum of 3 million shekels¹⁴.

Under Patir’s management, the Standards Institution of Israel was characterized by a slow and bureaucratic nature, leading to inefficiencies and financial losses. Additionally, there were conflicts with the employees¹⁵.

*Scott Crump – A few days after reporting $1.37 billion loss in 2015, it was discovered that the company paid $1.44 million¹⁶ to the present director Mr. Scott Crump, founder of Stratasys, and to three other executives an additional $5.4 million in compensation¹⁷.

*Adina Shorr- Yet another ex-CEO of Stratasys (Objet), who stayed entrenched and highly paid on the board for the last 5 years. She also has a checkered record insomuch as leading, as a CEO, value destructing activities: She was the former CEO of Lucid-Logix, which had raised $40 million promising attractive returns for its investors. Ms. Shorr raised additional capital, only to close the company and terminate all employees with zero return to its shareholders (Giza and others)¹⁸.

*Yoav Zeif is the current Stratasys CEO – an unproven CEO having served before only as a consultant and in business development roles. Moreover, under his leadership, Stratasys is being accused¹⁹ by the former founders and shareholders of Origin, a company Stratasys purchased under his leadership for $97M²⁰ (estimate $5 million -$15 million in the previous year’s annual revenue when acquired in December 2020) for not fulfilling its obligations and personal commitments to pay them their promised earnout as per agreement. All founders and key employees of Origin subsequently ended up leaving Stratasys.

Zeif has also led the value-destructing move of spinning-off David Reis’s 2013 failure of MakerBot. Zeif paid approximately $47 million in cash just “to arrange” for Stratasys to own less than 50%²¹ of MakerBot, practically selling over 50% of MakerBot by adding money rather than receiving money.

Exhibit (a)(5)(DD)

Nano Dimension Receives Hart-Scott-Rodino (“HSR”) Clearance for the Stratasys Special Tender Offer

Antitrust Approval Marks Significant Step Towards Completion of Tender Offer

Waltham, Mass., July 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nano Dimension Ltd. (Nasdaq: NNDM, “Nano Dimension” or the “Company”), a leading supplier of Additively Manufactured Electronics (“AME”) and multi-dimensional polymer, metal & ceramic Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) 3D printers, announced today that the waiting period under the Department of Justice’s (“DOJ”) Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (“HSR Act”) has expired in connection with its special tender offer for Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS) (“Stratasys”); thus, no further regulatory review by U.S. antitrust authorities is required in connection with the special tender. 

The HSR Act is a U.S. federal law that requires companies to notify the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the DOJ about certain proposed mergers and acquisitions and observe a waiting period prior to close, which provides the U.S. antitrust authorities the opportunity to review the transaction. This waiting period has expired. 

By satisfying the HSR Act requirements, Nano Dimension demonstrates its commitment to adhering to the appropriate legal procedures and looks forward to completing its tender offer and bringing customers the benefits of the companies’ combined offering.
