Explanatory Note

This Form 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1) amends and restates in its entirety the Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) filed on August 11, 2021 by Desktop Metal, Inc. to update Item 7.01, to file Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2 and 99.6 and to re-file Exhibits 99.3 and 99.5. Except as set forth herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend or update any other information set forth in the Original 8-K, and we have not updated disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that may have occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original 8-K.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Merger Agreement

On August 11, 2021, Desktop Metal, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “DM”), issued a press release announcing its entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 11, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Texas Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), Texas Merger Sub II, LLC., a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II”), and The ExOne Company, a Delaware corporation (“ExOne”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into ExOne, with ExOne as the surviving corporation and (ii) Merger Sub II will merge with and into ExOne (the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II surviving the Mergers as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The board of directors of each of DM and ExOne have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Merger Consideration

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of ExOne (“ExOne Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the shares that are owned by DM, ExOne, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II) will be converted into the right to receive $8.50 per ExOne Share and a number of shares of Class A common stock of DM, $0.0001 par value per share (a “DM Share”) equal to an Exchange Ratio subject to adjustment to ensure that (i) the cash consideration in the Mergers does not exceed 45% of the total consideration in the Mergers and (ii) the number of DM Shares to be issued in the Mergers does not exceed 19.9% of the issued and outstanding DM Shares.

The “Exchange Ratio” means:

· If the Average Stock Price (as defined below) is greater than $9.70, then the Exchange Ratio will be 1.7522;

· If the Average Stock Price (as defined below) is between (or equal to) $9.70 and $7.94 per share, the initial exchange ratio of 1.9274 will be modified by multiplying such exchange ratio by the quotient of $8.82 divided by the Average Stock Price; or

· If the Average Stock Price (as defined below) is less than $7.94, then the Exchange Ratio will be 2.1416.

“Average Stock Price” means the average of the volume weighted averages of the trading prices of DM Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on each of the twenty consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day that is three trading days prior to the date of the effective time of the Mergers.

1 

Treatment of Equity

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective Time, each outstanding unvested option to purchase ExOne common stock (“ExOne Unvested Option”) shall be assumed by DM and converted into an option to purchase a number of DM Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of ExOne common stock subject to such option by the Exchange Ratio. Each outstanding vested option to purchase ExOne common stock (“ExOne Vested Option”) shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the consideration payable to holders of ExOne Shares, minus the relevant exercise price of such ExOne Vested Option (so long as such ExOne Vested Option’s exercise price is less than the consideration to be received). Each award of restricted shares of ExOne common stock subject to the ExOne Change of Control Severance Plan (“ExOne COC RSAs”) shall vest in accordance with the terms of such plan and (i) the shares subject to the vested portion of such ExOne COC RSA shall be cancelled and the holder of such ExOne COC RSA shall be entitled to receive the consideration payable to holders of ExOne Shares and (ii) any remaining unvested portion of the ExOne COC RSA shall be assumed by DM and converted into an award of restricted shares of DM Class A common stock consisting of a number of DM Shares equal to the product of the number of unvested shares of ExOne common stock subject to such ExOne COCR SA multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. Each award of restricted shares of ExOne common stock (“ExOne RSAs”) shall vest and the holder of such ExOne RSA shall be entitled to receive the consideration payable to holders of ExOne Shares. Each award granted under the 2021 Executive Stock Performance Program shall be converted into ExOne Shares (the “ESPP Award”), determined based on actual performance for the portion of the performance period through the Effective Time as determined by the ExOne compensation committee, and such ExOne Shares shall vest in accordance with the ExOne Change of Control Severance Plan and (a) the vested portion of such ExOne Shares shall be entitled to receive the consideration payable to holders of ExOne Shares and (b) the unvested portion of such ExOne Shares shall be subject to service-based vesting terms as provided under the ESPP Award and shall be assumed by DM and converted into an award of restricted shares of DM Class A common stock consisting of a number of DM Shares equal to the product of the number of unvested shares of ExOne Shares subject to the ESPP Award multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.

Conditions to the Merger

The consummation of the Mergers is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of ExOne common stock entitled to vote thereon, (ii) expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) the absence of any law or order by any governmental entity in effect that seeks to enjoin, make illegal, delay or otherwise restrain or prohibits the consummation of the Merger, (iv) NYSE’s approval of the DM Shares to be issued in the Merger being listed on the NYSE, (v) subject to certain materiality exceptions, the accuracy of certain representations and warranties of each of DM and ExOne contained in the Merger Agreement and the compliance by each party with the covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, (vi) delivery of a tax opinion by McGuireWoods LLP, or if McGuireWoods LLP is unable or unwilling to deliver such opinion, of Latham & Watkins LLP, to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations and assumptions set forth in such opinion, for United States federal income tax purposes, the Mergers, taken together, will qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (vii) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to each of DM and ExOne and (viii) the registration statement registering the merger consideration becoming effective.

Certain Other Terms of the Merger Agreement

DM, ExOne, and Merger Sub each made certain representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among other things, covenants by DM and ExOne to conduct their businesses in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and consummation of the Merger, to refrain from taking certain actions specified in the Merger Agreement and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions of the Merger to be satisfied. Subject to certain exceptions, the Merger Agreement also requires ExOne to call and hold a stockholders’ meeting and requires the board of directors of each of ExOne and DM to approve, and recommend approval, as applicable, of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

ExOne is restricted from soliciting any acquisition proposals, or engaging in any discussions related to such proposals, although ExOne may engage in discussions related to a superior proposal subject to certain conditions.

ExOne’s board of directors may change its recommendation to its stockholders in response to a superior proposal or an intervening event (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) (after giving DM at least four business days’ notice and an opportunity to negotiate an alternative transaction) or if the board of directors determines that the failure to take such action would constitute a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law.

2 

The Merger Agreement provides for certain termination rights for both DM and ExOne. If either party terminates the Merger Agreement as a result of ExOne’s failure to obtain stockholder approval of the Mergers, or DM terminates the Merger Agreement as a result of ExOne’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in the Merger Agreement, which could not or is not cured within 30 days or the outside date specified in the Merger Agreement, then ExOne will be required to pay DM a termination fee of $11,500,000 (the “Termination Fee”) upon the closing of an acquisition of ExOne that is signed within twelve months following such termination. If DM terminates the Merger Agreement as a result of a change in recommendation by the ExOne board of directors prior to the ExOne stockholder approval having been obtained, then ExOne will be required to pay DM the Termination Fee within 2 business days. If the Merger Agreement is terminated as a result of the uncured breach of certain of DM’s covenants, DM will be required to pay the Termination Fee to ExOne within 2 business days.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to this report to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about DM or ExOne or to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about DM or ExOne in its public reports filed with the SEC. The Merger Agreement includes representations, warranties and covenants of DM and ExOne made solely for the purposes of the Merger Agreement and which may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by DM and ExOne in connection with the negotiated terms of the Merger Agreement. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to certain disclosures between the parties and a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to DM’s or ExOne’s SEC filings. In addition, the representations and warranties were made for purposes of allocating risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement and should not be relied upon as establishing factual matters.

Support Agreements

In connection with the Merger Agreement, each of Kent Rockwell, the Chairman of ExOne’s Board of Directors, Rockwell Forest Products, Inc. and John Hartner, ExOne’s Chief Executive Officer, entered into a Voting and Support Agreement with DM, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II (the “Support Agreements”). The Support Agreements generally require that the stockholders party thereto vote in favor of approving the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Mergers and against any actions that can impede, interfere with or adversely affect the consummation of the Mergers or the performance by ExOne of its obligations under the Merger Agreement. The Support Agreements will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the delivery of written notice of termination by the stockholders to DM following any amendment, modification, change or waiver to any provision of the Merger Agreement that decreases the amount or changes the form of the Merger Consideration (other than adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement), (c) the Effective Time and (d) upon mutual written consent of the stockholder, DM and the other parties thereto.

The foregoing description of the Support Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Support Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.

Article II

MERGER CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION OF STOCK

Section 2.1Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of Merger I and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub I or the Company, or the holder of any share of Company Common Stock:

(a)Conversion of Merger Sub I Common Stock. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub I issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)Cancellation of Certain Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned or held in treasury by the Company or is owned by any Parent Company or any Acquired Company shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist (the “Excluded Shares”), and no consideration or payment shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c)Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than (A) the Excluded Shares and (B) the Dissenting Shares will, by virtue of Merger I and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration (as it may be adjusted), without interest, from Parent and (ii) a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Parent Common Stock”), equal to the Exchange Ratio, as it may be adjusted, (such amount of Parent Common Stock, the “Per Share Stock Consideration”) and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable in accordance with Section 2.3(e) (the Per Share Cash Consideration and the Per Share Stock Consideration the “Merger Consideration”).

4 

(d)Treatment of Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, all of the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) and each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall automatically be converted into and thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Book-Entry Share or Certificates have been converted pursuant to this Section 2.1.

(e)Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who has not voted in favor of, or consented to, the Mergers and properly demands appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and who otherwise complies in all respects with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(c), but rather the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to only those rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL (it being understood and acknowledged that at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the “fair value” of such Dissenting Shares as determined in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL); provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and shall have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(c) (without interest and less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.5) upon the surrender of the Certificates of Book Entry Shares previously representing such Dissenting Shares. The Company shall serve prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and actions with respect to such demands at Parent’s sole expense. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, (i) make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, (ii) waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or timely take any other action to perfect appraisal rights in accordance with the DGCL, or (iii) agree to do any of the foregoing.

(f)Adjustment.

(i)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or the securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Parent Common Stock or shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Merger Consideration and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be (including the treatment of Company Equity Awards in Section 2.4), shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Equity Awards the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such adjustment.

5

(ii)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary other than Section 2.1(f)(iii), to the extent that the sum of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as Per Share Stock Consideration as of the Effective Time, plus (B) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock for which the Company Options to be assumed pursuant to Section 2.4(a) are exercisable as of the Effective Time, plus (C) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the cancellation of Company Options pursuant to Section 2.4(b) at the Effective Time, plus (D) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Parent RSAs to be issued pursuant to Section 2.4(c) and Section 2.4(e) at of the Effective Time, would exceed 19.9% of Parent’s issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (19.9% of such issued and outstanding shares rounded down to the nearest whole share, the “Maximum Share Number”), then (x) the Exchange Ratio shall be reduced (the amount of such reduction, the “Exchange Ratio Reduction Number”) to the minimum extent necessary such that the sum of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as Per Share Stock Consideration as of the Effective Time, plus (2) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock for which the Company Options to be assumed pursuant to Section 2.4(a) are exercisable as of the Effective Time, plus (3) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the cancellation of Company Options pursuant to Section 2.4(b) at the Effective Time plus (4) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Parent RSAs to be issued pursuant to Section 2.4(c) and Section 2.4(e) at of the Effective Time, equals the Maximum Share Number and (y) the Per Share Cash Consideration shall be increased by the amount in cash equal to the Exchange Ratio Reduction Number multiplied by the Per Share Cash Consideration.

(iii)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the quotient, expressed as a percentage, obtained by dividing (A) the Per Share Stock Consideration by (B) the sum of the Per Share Stock Consideration plus the Per Share Cash Consideration (for this purpose, including any other amounts treated as consideration other than stock of Parent, as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(e)) (the “Threshold Percentage”) (determined without regard to this sentence) is less than 45%, then the Per Share Cash Consideration shall be reduced, and the Per Share Stock Consideration shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis with such reduction, by an amount that would be necessary to cause the recomputed Threshold Percentage to equal 45%; provided, however, that this Section 2.1(f)(iii) shall not cause the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as Per Share Stock Consideration as of the Effective Time to exceed the Maximum Share Number. To the extent the adjustment described in this Section 2.1(f)(iii) would otherwise cause the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as Per Share Stock Consideration as of the Effective Time to exceed the Maximum Share Number, then, notwithstanding Section 2.1(f)(ii), the Per Share Cash Consideration shall be reduced as set forth in this Section 2.1(f)(iii) without a corresponding increase in the Per Share Stock Consideration. This Section 2.1(f)(iii) (including the defined terms used herein) is intended to cause this Agreement to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(e) (treating not less than 45% as a “substantial part” solely for such purpose) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

6

(g)Effects of Merger II. At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of Merger II and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub II or the Surviving Corporation, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time, shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration or payment shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor. The limited liability company interests in Merger Sub II shall not be affected and shall remain outstanding as the limited liability company interests of the Surviving Company, and Parent shall continue as the sole member of the Surviving Company.

Section 2.2Appointment of Exchange Agent. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”), the identity and the terms of appointment of which to be reasonably acceptable to the Company, for the payment of the Merger Consideration and shall enter into an agreement relating to the Exchange Agent’s responsibilities with respect thereto, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company.

Section 2.3Exchange of Certificates.

(a)Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Exchange Agent, (i) shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form) representing the full number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to pay the aggregate Per Share Stock Consideration and (ii) all of the cash necessary to pay the aggregated Per Share Cash Consideration, and Parent shall, after the Effective Time on the appropriate payment date, if applicable, provide or cause to be provided to the Exchange Agent any dividends or other distributions payable on such shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.3(c) (such shares of Parent Common Stock and cash provided to the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or other distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall deliver the Parent Common Stock and cash contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.1 out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

7

(b)Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time), to each holder of record of a Certificate whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c), (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in customary form as prepared by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or duly executed affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or duly executed affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent (and reasonably acceptable to the Company), together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash and the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form) which the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.3(e), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made and shares of Parent Common Stock may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Any holder of any Book-Entry Shares whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c) shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal or any other deliverables to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration. In lieu thereof, each holder of one or more Book-Entry Shares shall automatically upon the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, including any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.3(e), and any amounts that such holder has the right to receive in respect of dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.3(c), and the Book-Entry Share so exchanged shall be forthwith cancelled.

(c)No dividends or other distributions declared or paid with a record date after the Effective Time with respect to the Parent Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate of Book-Entry Share until the holders of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall surrender such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 2.3(b). Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any Certificate formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or conversion of Book-Entry Shares pursuant to Section 2.3(b), there shall be paid to the holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender or delivery, as the case may be, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender or delivery, as the case may be, and a payment date subsequent to such surrender or delivery payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

8

(d)Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3, each Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Agreement and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(c). After the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(e)Fractional Shares.

(i)No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued hereunder, but in lieu thereof each holder of Company Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share of Parent Common Stock will be entitled to receive, from the Exchange Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3(e), a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share of Parent Common Stock representing such holder’s proportionate interest, if any, in the proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent (reduced by any fees of the Exchange Agent attributable to such sale) in one or more transactions of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i) over (B) the aggregate number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock to be distributed to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(c) (such excess, the “Excess Shares”). The Company and Parent acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, as agent for the holders of Company Common Stock that would otherwise receive fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, shall sell the Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on the NYSE in the manner provided in the following paragraph.

(ii)The sale of the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent, as agent for the holders of Company Common Stock that would otherwise receive fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, shall be executed on the NYSE and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the proceeds of such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of Company Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for the holders of Company Common Stock that would otherwise receive fractional shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Common Shares Trust”). The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of the Common Shares Trust to which each holder of Company Common Stock that would otherwise receive fractional shares of Parent Comment Stock shall be entitled, if any, by multiplying the amount of the aggregate proceeds comprising the Common Shares Trust by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional share interest to which such holder of Company Common Stock would otherwise be entitled and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all holders of Company Common Stock would otherwise be entitled.

9

(f)Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, and any holder of shares of Company Common Stock that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.3(c).

(g)None of Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund (including any amounts delivered to Parent in accordance with Section 2.3(f)) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Immediately prior to the date on which any Merger Consideration or any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.3(c) in respect of a share of Parent Common Stock would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such share of Company Common Stock shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h)In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of Parent Common Stock and the cash, unpaid dividends or other distributions that would be payable or deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Article II had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

(i)The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis; provided, that no monetary losses on such investment thereof shall affect the Merger Consideration payable hereunder and, following any such losses, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, in the amount of such losses to the extent that the amount then in the Exchange Fund is insufficient to pay the cash portion of the Merger Consideration that remains payable. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

10

Section 2.4Company Equity Awards.

(a)At the Effective Time, each unvested Company Option granted under the Company Equity Plan that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (“Parent Option Awards”) (A) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio (rounding down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock), and (B) at an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, it being understood that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock for which each assumed Company Option is exercisable is intended to be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.4(a), each Parent Option Award issued pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) shall continue to have, and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, including vesting and acceleration of vesting terms and conditions, as those that applied to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each reference to the Company shall be deemed to be a reference to Parent.

(f)The Company Board shall not take any action set forth in Section 5.3(e) unless the Company has (i) provided written notice to Parent (a “Notice of Company Superior Proposal”) informing Parent that the Company has determined that a Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal, identifying the Person making such Company Superior Proposal and providing a copy of the definitive agreement intended to effect such Company Superior Proposal and the other Company Acquisition Proposal Information, (ii) for the four (4) Business Day period following Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Company Superior Proposal (the “Company Superior Proposal Notice Period”), the Company Board shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent and considered in good faith any counteroffers or proposals, including to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement (to the extent Parent wishes to do so), and (iii) after complying with clauses (i) and (ii), determined in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors and taking into account any such counteroffer or proposed amendment to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) that such Company Acquisition Proposal remains a Company Superior Proposal.

Section 5.4Preparation of the Form S-4 and Proxy Statement/Prospectus; Stockholders Meeting.

(a)As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall jointly prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, in preliminary form, and Parent shall prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC the Form S-4, in which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, in preliminary form, will be included as a prospectus.

Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain any necessary state securities Law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be filed with the SEC and distributed to the holders of Company Common Stock and made available on the internet as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be made by Parent or the Company, as applicable, without the other’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and without providing the other the opportunity to review and comment thereon.

If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by Parent or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that any such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be prepared promptly and, after the other party has had a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, shall be filed promptly with the SEC, and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4(b), nothing in this Section 5.4(a) shall prohibit the Company or Parent from making any filing of any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Annual Report on Form 10-K or Current Report on Form 8-K required pursuant to the Exchange Act.

63

(b)The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following effectiveness of the Form S-4, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company will conduct a broker search in anticipation of the Company Stockholder Meeting in compliance with SEC Rule 14a-3, assuming the earliest record date practicable and, from time to time, conduct additional broker searches as reasonable requested by Parent. Subject to Section 5.3(e), Section 5.3(f) and Section 5.3(g), the Company shall, through the Company Board, recommend that its stockholders adopt and approve this Agreement and the Transactions, including Merger I (the “Company Recommendation”), and shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and (ii) take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the Company Stockholder Approval, and the Company Board shall not make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change. The Company, in consultation with Parent, shall set a record date for determining the Persons entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company shall have the right to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting (A) by not more than thirty (30) days in the aggregate (1) for the absence of a quorum, (2) to allow reasonable additional time to solicit additional proxies to the extent that at such time the Company has not received a number of proxies that it reasonably believes sufficient to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting, (3) to allow reasonable additional time to distribute any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus that the Company Board has determined in good faith to be necessary under applicable Law or to give the stockholders of the Company sufficient time to evaluate any information or disclosures that have been sent to the stockholders of Company or (4) to the extent required by applicable Law, or (B) with the written consent of Parent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or public or private communication to the Company of any Company Acquisition Proposal or by a Company Adverse Recommendation Change unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 7.1.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Regulatory Law to consummate the Transactions, and no party hereto shall fail to take or cause to be taken any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees to make (i) an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions within ten (10) Business Days from the date hereof (unless a later date is mutually agreed between the parties) and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and to take all other commercially reasonable actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as reasonably practicable, including by requesting early termination of the waiting period provided for in the HSR Act, (ii) appropriate filings under any other Regulatory Law with respect to the Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable and (iii) any other necessary, proper or advisable registrations, filings and notices with respect to the Transactions. Subject to applicable Law, and except as required by any Governmental Entity, the Company shall not agree to extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or any other Regulatory Law applicable to the Transactions without the prior written consent of Parent. The filing fee for the Notification and Report Forms filed under the HSR Act and any other Regulatory Law filings in connection with the Transactions required pursuant to this Section 5.6(a) shall be split fifty percent (50%) by Parent and fifty percent (50%) by the Company.

66

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates be required to (and the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall not, without Parent’s prior written consent) (i) propose, negotiate, commit to, and/or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, transfer, license, disposition, or hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets, properties, or businesses of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or of the assets, properties, or businesses to be acquired pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) terminate, modify, or assign existing relationships, Contracts, or obligations of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or those relating to any assets, properties, or businesses to be acquired pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) change or modify any course of conduct regarding future operations of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or the assets, properties, or businesses to be acquired pursuant to this Agreement, or (iv) otherwise take or commit to take any other action that would limit Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ freedom of action with respect to, or their ability to retain, one or more of their respective operations, divisions, businesses, product lines, customers, assets or rights or interests, or their freedom of action with respect to the assets, properties, or businesses to be acquired pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)In addition, if any action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened) challenging the Transactions as violating any Regulatory Law or if any decree, order, Judgment, or injunction (whether temporary, preliminary, or permanent) is entered, enforced, or attempted to be entered or enforced by any Governmental Entity that would make the Transactions illegal or otherwise delay or prohibit the consummation of the Transactions, the parties shall have no obligation to take any action to contest, defend or litigate any such claim, cause of action, proceeding, decree, order, Judgment or injunction.

(d)Each of Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall, in connection with obtaining requisite approvals and authorizations for the Transactions under the HSR Act or any other Regulatory Law, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any Action initiated by a private party, (ii) promptly notify the other party of any substantive communication made or received by Parent or the Company, as the case may be, from any Governmental Entity and of any communication received or given in connection with any Action by a private party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions (iii) subject to applicable Law, permit the other party a reasonable opportunity to review any substantive written communication given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any scheduled substantive meeting or conference with, the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity or private party, and (iv) not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any such Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement or the Transactions unless, to the extent reasonably practicable, it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend or participate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and Parent may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other side under this Section 5.6(d) as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by outside counsel to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the recipient or any of its Affiliates unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (the Company or Parent, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Each of the Company and Parent shall cause its respective counsel to comply with this Section 5.6(d).

67

(e)During the period from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, except as required by this Agreement and except as set forth in Section 5.6(e) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, Parent and its Affiliates shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, engage in any action or enter into any transaction or permit any action to be taken or transaction to be entered into by Parent or any of its Affiliates that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the ability of Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby prior to the Outside Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of Parent or its Affiliates shall acquire (whether by merger, consolidation, stock or asset purchase or otherwise), or agree to so acquire, any assets of or any equity in any other Person or any business or division thereof, if that acquisition or agreement would reasonably be expected to: (i) materially increase the risk of not obtaining approval under any Regulatory Law or the expiration or termination of any waiting period in connection with Antitrust Laws; (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Mergers or materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise; or (iii) prevent or materially delay beyond the Outside Date receipt of any Antitrust Law approval.

Section 5.7Employee Matters.

(a)Subject to the terms of Section 2.4(d) and this Section 5.7(a), for a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Parent to, provide to each employee of the Acquired Companies who is employed immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”), for so long as such Continuing Employee remains in the employment of Parent and its Subsidiaries, (i) base salary or wage rate and target annual bonuses that are in the aggregate, no less favorable than the base salary or wage rate and target annual bonuses (excluding any specific performance-based goals, equity or equity-based compensation, retention, change of control, transaction or similar bonuses, severance and nonqualified deferred compensation) being provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that for any annual bonus programs that provide for payment in the form of Company Common Stock or equity-based awards (“Equity Bonus Programs”), such Equity Bonus Programs shall continue for the length of the current performance period, and, at the end of such period Parent shall have the option to terminate such Equity Bonus Program after paying out all amounts owed to participants, (ii) employee benefits that are in the aggregate, substantially comparable to the benefits (excluding any defined benefit pension plans, equity based compensation, change in control, retention, or retiree medical benefits) being provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries to Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) severance benefits that are no less favorable than those in effect with respect to such Continuing Employee as of the date hereof and as are set forth on Section 5.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

68

(b)Following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts so that each Continuing Employee is provided full credit for prior service with the Acquired Companies to the extent such service would be recognized if it had been performed as an employee of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of (i) eligibility and vesting under any Parent Employee Plans but not for benefit accrual purposes of any of the Parent Employee Plans; provided that such crediting is permitted under the terms of such plans, and applicable law and does not result in duplication of benefits, and (ii) unless covered under another arrangement with or of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Company, determination of benefit levels under any Parent Employee Plan or policy of general application in each case relating to paid time off or severance, in either case, for which the Continuing Employees are otherwise eligible and in which the Continuing Employees are offered participation, but except where such credit would result in a duplication of benefits. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Parent Employee Plan” means any employee benefit plan that is sponsored, maintained or contributed to (or required to be contributed to) by any Parent Company, including, without limitation, any “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) or “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA). The Company shall provide Parent or its designee all information reasonably requested to allow Parent to comply with such obligations in this Section 5.7(b).

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, if the Continuing Employees participate in any Parent Employee Plan that provides medical, dental, vision or prescription drug benefits, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts (or shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause one of its Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Company) to (i) cause there to be waived any pre-existing condition, actively at work, waiting period and similar requirements, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable Company Plans, and (ii) cause the Parent Employee Plans to honor any expenses incurred by the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents under any corresponding Company Plan during the portion of the calendar year up to the date that coverage under a Company Plan is replaced with coverage under such Parent Employee Plan for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, co-insurance and maximum out-of-pocket expenses. The Company shall provide Parent or its designee all information reasonably requested to allow Parent to comply with such obligations in this Section 5.7(c).

(d)The Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions necessary or appropriate to terminate, effective on the Closing Date (and contingent upon the Closing), any Company Plan set forth on Section 5.7(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter effective as of the date set forth therein, unless Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, agrees to sponsor and maintain any such Company Plan by providing the Company with written notice of such election at least thirty (30) days before the Effective Time. Unless Parent so provides such notice to the Company, the Company shall deliver to Parent, prior to the Closing, evidence that the Company Board has validly adopted resolutions to terminate such scheduled Company Plans on Section 5.7(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and taken all other actions necessary to terminate such Company Plans scheduled on Section 5.7(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter, effective no later than the date immediately preceding the Closing Date.

69

(e)Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring, Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) to continue any specific employee benefit plans, or to continue the employment of any specific Person for any period of time. The provisions of this Section 5.7 are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to (i) constitute an amendment to any of the compensation and benefits plans maintained for or provided to Continuing Employees prior to, on or following the Effective Time, (ii) impede or limit Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates from amending or terminating any Company Plan following the Effective Time or (iii) confer upon or give to any Person (including for the avoidance of doubt any current or former employees, labor unions, directors, or independent contractors of any of the Acquired Companies, or on or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies under or by reason of any provision of this Section 5.7.

(f)At the Effective Time, the COC Severance Plan and any agreement entered into pursuant to the COC Severance Plan shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent or the Company, be assumed by Parent.

Section 5.8Notification of Certain Matters. The Company and Parent shall promptly notify each other of the receipt of (a) any written communication received from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions or (b) from any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall not (i) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (ii) limit the remedies available to the party sending or receiving such notice.

Section 5.9Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a)For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing and costs of defense to) in accordance with the Company Organizational Documents of the Acquired Companies as of the date of this Agreement each current and former director or officer of any of the Acquired Companies (each, together with such individual’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”), in each case against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), Judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with any actual or threatened Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the fact that such Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director or fiduciary of any of the Acquired Companies at or prior to the Effective Time. For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses equivalent to the provisions of the charter and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of any Acquired Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to acts or omissions occurring, or alleged to have occurred, prior to the Effective Time and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 5.9.

70

(b)The Company shall obtain, at or prior to the Effective Time, and Parent shall cooperate with the Company in connection with the Company obtaining, prepaid (or “tail”) directors’ and officers’ insurance and indemnification policies and fiduciary liability insurance policy or policies that provide coverage for events occurring prior to the Effective Time for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time (collectively, the “Continuing D&O Insurance”) that are no less favorable to the insureds (including as to terms, coverages, conditions, retentions and limits of liability) to the Company’s existing policy or, if substantially similar insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to maintain such policies in full force and effect for the full term of six (6) years and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not pay an annual premium for the Continuing D&O Insurance in excess of three hundred fifty percent (350%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement. If the Company for any reason fails to obtain such Continuing D&O Insurance at or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, cause the Surviving Company to maintain in effect the then-current policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance and indemnification and fiduciary liability insurance policies maintained by the Company with respect to acts, omissions or events occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, that after the Effective Time, Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums for such directors’ and officers’ insurance and indemnification policies in excess of an aggregate amount of three hundred fifty percent (350%) of the last annual premiums paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement for its existing directors’ and officers’ insurance and indemnification policies and annual premiums for such fiduciary liability insurance in excess of an aggregate amount of three hundred fifty percent (350%) of the last annual premiums paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement for its existing fiduciary liability insurance policies, but in each such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for each such respective three hundred fifty percent (350%) aggregate amount.

(c)If Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all its properties and assets, then, and in each case, Parent and the Surviving Company shall ensure that such surviving corporation or entity or the transferees of such properties or assets assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

(d)The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 5.9 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of any of the Acquired Companies or under any agreement of any Indemnified Party with any of the Acquired Companies, in each case in effect as of the date of this Agreement, or under applicable Law. The provisions of this Section 5.9 and the rights provided hereby shall survive consummation of Merger I and Merger II and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party.

71

The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate, at Parent’s sole expense, in the defense or settlement of any such stockholder Action, shall give due consideration to Parent’s advice with respect to such stockholder Action and shall not cooperate and settle or offer to settle any such Action without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, the foregoing shall not give Parent or Merger Subs any right to direct the defense of any such stockholder Action against the Company.

(b)Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any Action commenced after the date of this Agreement against Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or any of their respective directors or officers by any stockholder of Parent arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions (including any class action or derivative litigation) and shall keep the Company reasonably informed regarding the status of any such stockholder Action.

Section 5.17Tax Treatment.

(a)Parent, the Company, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II intend that the Mergers, taken together, be treated, and each of them shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Mergers, taken together, to be treated, for federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code (to which each of Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and the Company are to be parties under Section 368(b) of the Code), and each shall file all Tax Returns consistent with, and take no position inconsistent with, such treatment unless required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(b)None of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II shall take any action, cause any action to be taken, fail to take any action or fail to cause any action to be taken that would reasonably be expected to prevent the Mergers, taken together, from constituting a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code.

73

(c)Each of Parent, the Merger Subs, and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts and will cooperate with one another to obtain (i) any opinion of counsel required to be delivered in connection with the statements made in the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and (ii) the opinion referred to in Section 6.3(d), in each case, regarding the treatment of the Mergers, taken together, as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code. In connection with any such opinions, (i) Parent shall deliver to McGuireWoods LLP (or Latham & Watkins LLP, if applicable) a duly executed certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 or Exhibit D-3, as applicable (with customary assumptions, representations, exceptions and modifications thereto as shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such counsel and reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable such counsel to render such opinions) (the “Parent Tax Certificate”), (ii) the Company shall deliver to McGuireWoods LLP (or Latham & Watkins LLP, if applicable) a duly executed certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-4, as applicable (with customary assumptions, representations, exceptions and modifications thereto as shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such counsel and reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable each such counsel to render such opinions) (in each case of (i) and (ii), dated as of the Closing Date and at such other times as may be reasonably requested by McGuireWoods LLP (or Latham & Watkins LLP, if applicable) in connection with the filing of the Form S-4), and (iii) each of Parent and the Company shall provide such other information as reasonably requested by each such counsel for purposes of rendering such opinions.

(d)If there is a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code that the Mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a “reorganization” described in Section 368(a) of the Code, Parent, the Company, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II shall take the position for federal income tax purposes that Merger I was a qualified stock purchase within the meaning of Section 338 of the Code and Merger II qualified as a liquidation described in Section 332 of the Code.

(e)Parent, the Company, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and the 368 of the Code and within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368- 3(a).

The Company acknowledges that the Company and the Company stockholders are relying solely on their own Tax advisors for Tax advice regarding this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions and agreements contemplated hereby; provided, that the Company may rely on the legal opinion of McGuireWoods LLP (or Latham & Watkins LLP in the event that Latham & Watkins LLP provides the legal opinion in Section 6.3(d)) solely for the purposes of Section 6.3(d).

80

(d)Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, neither the Company nor Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II would enter into this Agreement.

Any such waiver or agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party making or agreeing to make such waiver. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

Accordingly and subject to Section 7.3, each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, an injunction or injunctions or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Delaware Court of Chancery, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity and no party will allege, and each party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. Each of the parties hereby further waives any requirement under any law to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

Section 8.12Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein, so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

92 

Section 8.13Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

Article I

“Transfer” means any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, gift, pledge, distribution, hypothecation or other encumbrance or any other disposition, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, whether effected directly or indirectly, or the entry into any contract or understanding with respect to any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, gift, pledge, distribution, hypothecation or other encumbrance or any other disposition, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, whether effected directly or indirectly, including, with respect to any capital stock or interests in capital stock, the entry into any swap or any contract, transaction or series of transactions that hedges or transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of such capital stock or interest in capital stock, whether any such swap, contract, transaction or series of transactions is to be settled by delivery of Company securities, in cash or otherwise.

Section 1.2Interpretations.

(a)Each capitalized term used but not defined in this Agreement has the meaning given to it in the Merger Agreement.

(b)Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section or Exhibit such reference will be to a Section of or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes,” or “including” are used in this Agreement they will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “or” when used in this Agreement is not exclusive.

References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and permitted assigns. Where this Agreement states that a party “shall,” “will” or “must” perform in some manner it means that the party is legally obligated to do so under this Agreement.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

● We define Non-GAAP gross margin as GAAP gross margin excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related and other transactional charges included in general and administrative expenses and change in fair value of warrant liability

● We define Non-GAAP operating loss as GAAP operating loss excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related and other transactional charges included in general and administrative expenses and change in fair value of warrant liability

● We define Non-GAAP net loss as GAAP net loss excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related and other transactional charges included in general and administrative expenses and change in fair value of warrant liability

● We define EBITDA as GAAP net income (loss) excluding interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense

● We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding stock based compensation, warrant expenses and transaction costs associated with acquisitions

In addition to Desktop Metal’s results determined in accordance with GAAP, Desktop Metal’s management uses this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors in assessing Desktop Metal’s operating performance.

We believe that the use of Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends because it eliminates the effect of financing, capital expenditures, and non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation and warrants, and provides investors with a means to compare Desktop Metal’s financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, investors should be aware that when evaluating Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate these measures in the same fashion.

Because of these limitations, Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. Management uses, and investors should consider, our non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with our GAAP results.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of each Non-GAAP financial measure used in this press release to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Ric Fulop

Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc.

Thank you, Jay. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining Desktop Metal's second quarter 2021 financial results call. As you may have seen, we announced a major transaction this afternoon for the additive manufacturing industry. And Desktop Metal has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire ExOne. I'm here with ExOne CEO, John Hartner. And before we begin to discuss this transaction and the strategic rationale, we'll each briefly review our independent second quarter results, starting with Desktop Metal.

I'm very proud of our team's efforts in the quarter. The company is firing on all cylinders. We delivered a strong revenue growth, meaningfully expanded gross margins, and execute in a number of exciting developments. We've made rapid progress delivering on our vision to accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing 2.0.

I'll start with a quarterly review on slide 3 of the presentation, with a few financial highlights. Revenue growth accelerating in the quarter to $19 million, a sequential increase of 68% for the first quarter of 2021 and more than 750% over the second quarter of 2020. We also generated strong gross margin expansion, as non-GAAP gross margins increased to 25% in the quarter, up from 5% in Q1, representing 1,950 basis point sequential increase.

Moving to this quarter's business highlights, we saw another quarter of acceleration in our customer installed base, with new customer additions increasing 44% sequentially from the first quarter of 2021. This included strong growth in our metals business with solid contributions from the Production System P-1, Shop System, and Studio System 2.

As a quick update, our team is hard at work putting the final touches on the Production System P-50, and we continue to track forward towards beginning shipments in the fourth quarter of this year. We also continue to grow our materials library to enable an expanding set of applications for our customers. A few additions to highlight include cobalt chrome, titanium Ti64, 4140 low-alloy steels, and 316 stainless steel and metals, and Flexcera Base and Smile for our EnvisionTEC systems.

Our Forust offering, which we announced last quarter, has exceeded all expectations and is experiencing overwhelming demand. We continue to develop and scale the solution to meet the opportunity, and we're thrilled by the early response. In July, we acquired two early-stage companies that we're very excited about, Aerosint and Beacon Bio. I'll touch on each of these transactions in more detail later in the presentation. The Desktop Health team continues to see strong momentum, with the dental business seeing another quarter of significant growth. And finally, we closed the acquisition of Adaptive3D this quarter, and we're seeing fantastic demand as we bring Adaptive's best-in-class elastomers to market alongside our EnvisionTEC platforms like the Xtreme 8K.

Q2 2021 Earnings Call	11-Aug-2021

Moving to slide 4, our metals business had a fantastic quarter with new customer additions more than doubling from the first quarter of this year. That includes broad acceleration across the Production System P-1, Shop System, and Studio System 2 shipments. The P-1, in particular, was a standout with very strong quarter-over-quarter growth. We have our best people focused on deploying the production system P-50, and we're very much on track to begin shipments in the fourth quarter of this year. We look forward to providing more color and customer response and use cases once we get those systems out in the field.

We also continue to grow our metals materials library with multiple additions. We're the first company to commercialize titanium Ti64 for bound metal, making DM the only company to make Ti64 available in an accessible turnkey printing form factor with fantastic mature mechanical properties, including better than rod allegation.

We also are the first company to qualify 4140 low-alloy steel for binder jetting. This is a real workhorse material, one of the highest demand alloys with applications across consumer products, automotive, and other mechanical components. We also qualified 316L stainless on our production system and material is well suited for demanding industrial applications.

As I mentioned, earlier on the M&A front, we acquired Aerosint, an early-stage company that is pioneering multi-material printing for additive manufacturing. Today, businesses print individual parts or components out of single materials. But in the future, they will increasingly look to print whole products that are comprised of multiple materials. Aerosint patented part of the precision process, selectively deposits two or more powders to form a single thin powder layer containing multiple materials.

As the only high throughput multi-material recording system in the market, Aerosint's technology unlocks well an exciting range of new applications for additive manufacturing, including local optimization of mechanical properties such as wear resistance or vibration dampening, and the improvement of chemical and physical properties such as thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, or aesthetics.

We look forward to partnering with our new colleagues at Aerosint to industrialize and mature this technology and integrate it into upcoming Desktop Metal products over the next several years. We're also excited to support Aerosint in their ongoing independent efforts with their existing partners and to leverage the DM scale distribution and industry-leading technology portfolio to capture new market opportunities. The future of AM is going to be multi-material printing, and Aerosint is a great addition in core technology that will allow us to grow capabilities of AM 2.0 solutions over time.

Turning to slide 5, on the left side of the page, Desktop Health business continues to build very positive momentum. Mike Jafar is putting together an extensive healthcare team that includes leaders across disciplines to progress a number of compelling products currently under development. We continued to experience positive traction in the dental business, with an early quarter of very rapid growth, giving us confidence this team can deliver additional solutions to supplement our industrial business and accelerate the growth of DM overall. We believe dental is beginning to enter the steep part of the adoption curve, and most parts used in dentistry should be printable this decade.

This week, Desktop Health also announced the expansion of the dental technology portfolio with the qualification of cobalt chrome on the Shop System. The dental community will now be able to leverage the full capabilities of high-speed metal binder jetting, including faster and more cost effective production of bridges, crowns, partials and more. Also in the quarter, Desktop Health completed CE Certification of our Flexcera Base and Smile resins and received the FDA clearance for Class 2 permanent indications for Flexcera Base. Together, Flexcera Base and Smile enable next-generation digital dentures in same day for large implant procedures. Flexcera Solutions sold out within the first four weeks of launch, and we're adding capacity to meet our robust demand.

Q2 2021 Earnings Call	11-Aug-2021

We're highlighting another acquisition that we're very excited about on the right side of the page. This is a small company called Beacon Bio that was spun out of Harvard University. They've developed a promising new material that can be printed on our 3D Bioplotter systems and has potential for use in repairing damaged eardrums. The PhonoGraft device printed using this material is analogous to LASIK vision correction, except it's intended for individuals who have hearing deficiencies and wear hearing aids or who have experienced eardrum perforations which occur in about 30 million people a year around the world.

PhonoGraft technology promotes eardrum repair while decreasing patient procedure times through a minimally invasive procedure. We expect PhonoGraft will improve patient hearing outcomes by leveraging the body's natural regenerative processes as the biodegradable graft material is slowly replaced with native tissue over time. This exciting technology is in the advanced stages of R&D. And the team at Desktop Health intends to conduct additional preclinical studies and pursue FDA review with the goal of delivering a solution to the market within 24 months.

We believe PhonoGraft in the associated biodegradable elastomer materials, coupled with our leading biofabrication and 3D printing solutions, is a true platform technology with tremendous potential across a wider range of high-value healthcare applications in soft tissue from cardiovascular to neuronal grafts to plastic surgery. Consistent with our broader strategy, we're excited to own the full value chain of these devices and bring them to the market. It's still early days for this technology, but the acquisition marks the beginning of our journey to advance patient-specific medicine through additive manufacturing.

Finally, on slide 6, we saw another quarter of increasing customer adoption across materials as new customer additions increased 44% sequentially from the first quarter of 2021. The left side of this slide shows a number of customers that range from large brands to small companies with minimal account concentration. And highlighting two interesting customers in the right side of the slide, Christian Tse is a well-recognized jewelry designer and manufacturer using the Production System P-1 to develop several private label products to supply a variety of the leading luxury jewelry brands. Christian has leveraged the P-1 to print precious metal rings at rapid rates up to 50 to 70 in under two hours, making it a game-changer for his manufacturing strategy.

The second customer we're highlighting is Poral, a precision metal parts manufacturer in Europe that utilizes the Shop System to produce complex metal parts across a range of applications, including automotive, aerospace and more. The Shop System's binder jetting technology enables Poral to improve design flexibility in mass-produced parts sustainably, while eliminating tooling costs.

With that, I would like to turn the call over to our CFO, James Haley, for his review of the second quarter financial highlights. James?

James Haley

Chief Financial Officer, Desktop Metal, Inc.

Thanks, Ric. Starting on slide 8, you will see a summary of our financial performance for the second quarter of 2021. Please note we will be referring to several financial metrics on a non-GAAP basis. Reconciliation to GAAP data is included in the filed appendix.

Consolidated revenues for the quarter was $19 million, up 68% sequentially from $11.3 million in the first quarter of 2021 and also up 767% from the second quarter of 2020. The acceleration was due to an increase in our metal product shipments, specifically Production System P-1, Shop Systems and Studio System 2s as well as strong contribution from EnvisionTEC photopolymer products and consumables.

Q2 2021 Earnings Call	11-Aug-2021

Non-GAAP gross margin showed material improvements, increasing to 25% for the quarter, implying a 1,950 basis point improvement over the first quarter 2021. Gross margin expansion in the quarter was primarily driven by operating leverage as revenue continued to scale across overhead costs, as well as product mix toward higher ASP sales such as our metal systems.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2021 was negative $24.5 million versus negative $20.6 million in the second quarter 2020. The year-over-year adjusted EBITDA decline was primarily due to increased expenses related to operating as a public company, investments in our core business and contributions from acquisitions.

We grew the Desktop Metal team to over 500 employees today, up from 171 in August last year, as we build the company to execute on our strategic vision. We ended the quarter well-capitalized with $515 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2021.

And finally, moving to our guidance, we are reiterating our expectation to generate revenue in excess of $100 million for the full year 2021, excluding the effects of acquiring ExOne, which we will discuss later in the call. We continue to plan to exit the year with an annualized run rate of approximately $160 million and expect to see continued sequential quarterly growth throughout 2021.

We are updating our adjusted EBITDA outlook to be in the range of negative $70 million to $80 million, again excluding the effects of acquiring ExOne. This updated guidance primarily reflects expected 2021 operating losses from recent acquisitions.

With that, I will turn the call back over to Ric.

Ric Fulop

Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc.

Thank you, James. Overall, I'm very proud of the execution from the team in the first half of the year as we've meaningfully ramped the business from an operational perspective and another quarter of outsized revenue growth and expanded gross margins validates the direction we're positioning Desktop Metal. We're building a great company, focused on our vision of accelerating the adoption of AM 2.0 and capturing double-digit share over the next decade. And I'm excited about the continued momentum and direction of the business.

At this time, I'd like to hand over the call to John and give them an opportunity to review ExOne's second quarter results prior to discussing the acquisition. John?

John F. Hartner

Chief Executive Officer & Director, The ExOne Company

Thank you, Ric. Good afternoon, everybody. I wanted to briefly share my views of this proposed merger as well as cover highlights of an outstanding Q2 that ExOne just reported. Firstly, I'm very excited about this combination, which I believe will dramatically accelerate the adoption of production metal additive manufacturing.

ExOne, being the pioneer in binder jetting, has always viewed binder jetting as the most scalable, flexible and cost-effective technology for metal, whether it is printed or poured. Strong entrants like Desktop Metal have encouraged just all to get better, yet still mass adoption has lagged expectations. This combination brings

together two of the industry's leaders that combined will solve customers' challenges faster and bring the reality of production metal additive forward by years. I'm excited for our customers, our investors, our team members and the whole industry.

Now, for ExOne's Q2 results, we achieved record second quarter revenue, the highest level of recurring revenue and the largest backlog in company's history. It was a great quarter and reflected the success of our strategy. I'm proud of the team across the board, and particularly excited about the continued growth in recurring revenue. Our record second quarter revenue of $18.8 million reflects a 69% growth from our second quarter performance in 2020. The increase was driven by higher revenues from 3D printing machines and strong growth in recurring revenue, which was primarily from an increase in consumable materials. There is also a significant increase in revenue from funded research and development arrangements linked to our production adoption model.

From a geographic perspective, we grew in all regions, but the Asian and Americas region really drove that growth, with a combined 92% increase year-on-year. Recurring revenue rose 2% sequentially and 34% year-on-year to $8.3 million in Q2, demonstrating success from our strategic initiatives in this area. Backlog of $48.7 million increased 27% year-on-year and 2% sequentially. New orders remained strong, while execution on installations continued to improve.

During the second quarter, we progressed on both remote installations and getting people on the ground around the world. We are pleased to have executed well during the quarter and believe we continue to have a strong backlog and new orders which will support our future growth.

Shifting to margins, for the second quarter 2021 we recorded gross margins of 26%, a sequential increase that compared to 27.8% second quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the continued impact of operating inefficiencies and challenges driven by the COVID-19 operating environment and resulting higher input costs.

For the second quarter, our total operating expenses increased to $10.2 million compared to $6.9 million in the prior-year period. This is consistent with our plan to support our growth.

Moving to the balance sheet, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2021 decreased to $129.5 million from $138.3 million at March 31, 2021. The decrease was driven by cash outflows from operations of $7.3 million mostly due to our net loss and net cash outflows for working capital changes driven by increased inventory to support expanded contractual backlog.

In conclusion, I'm very proud of what ExOne has and will accomplish to move binder jetting ahead. We're very optimistic about our position in the market and we believe this combination will truly accelerate additive manufacturing and transition of traditional manufacturing to a more sustainable future.

With that, I'll now turn the call back over to Ric who will share more of the details about this game changing merger.

Ric Fulop

Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc.

Thanks, John. I'd now like to refer you to the separate set of slides we posted today referencing the acquisition under the Events & Presentations section of the DM Investor Relations website. In addition to the fantastic quarter, we're thrilled to discuss a landmark moment for the Desktop Metal family and the AM industry as a whole. We're announcing today that we've signed a definitive agreement to acquire ExOne.

Q2 2021 Earnings Call	11-Aug-2021

This transaction cements Desktop Metal's leadership in additive manufacturing for mass production. We really believe this transaction will encourage and radically accelerate the adoption of AM for high-volume applications by offering our customers a more comprehensive and targeted set of solutions that combine the best of both companies, especially across printing of end-use parts in metals and technical ceramics, as well as cores and molds for digital castings.

For our shareholders who may not be aware of ExOne, ExOne was one of the first companies to develop and commercialize binder jet technology, spun out of MIT that was originally invented by one of Desktop Metal's co-founders, Ely Sachs.

Most of ExOne's products use sequential binder jetting compared to our Single Pass Jetting technology, which offers higher throughput. However, ExOne has a great portfolio and a number of assets that are attractive and complementary to our own product portfolio, and I'll talk about these in further detail as we go through the presentation. The company is a leader in printing of digital castings, an opportunity with less than 5% penetration, and it holds a strong position in direct metal printing and ceramics printing.

ExOne's installed base is now approaching 500 systems. These are used for volume production, and an estimated 28 million parts were printed across ExOne's customer sites and adoption centers in the past year. They have more than 45 materials either qualified or in R&D. That includes single alloy metals, metal-matrix composites, technical ceramics, and materials for digital castings such as printed molds and cores. The company has a strong and growing backlog that stands at $49 million as of June, and as John just discussed, they did $32 million of revenue in the first half of the year. That's 30% growth over the year and a 44% sequential growth from Q1 to Q2. And this is a company that grew about 11% amid COVID lockdowns in 2020, unlike many other companies in the 3D printing industry that flatlined or contracted during COVID.

Taking a step back, I'd like to remind everyone of how we think about acquisitions in the context of our growth strategy. We're focused on developing three primary areas of the business in order to reach a double-digit share of the additive manufacturing space over the next decade. Print platforms for mass production, recurring revenue via materials that enable key applications, and parts for killers apps for additive with high margins. ExOne checks each of these boxes.

Turning to slide 5, there are five key points that underpin this transaction, which we ultimately believe will accelerate the adoption of AM 2.0 for mass production.

First, this combination creates a leading metal additive manufacturing portfolio across speed, cost, resolution, and part size. Second, we believe this will accelerate the rate at which we can introduce new materials to the market to meet customer demand. Third, we see an opportunity to leverage ExOne's sand 3D printing technologies in combinations with DM's low-cost hardware to make digital casting more accessible and lower cost for our customers. Fourth, our complementary go-to-market and support efforts will enhance our combined ability to reach more customers and provide a more effective global support network. And finally, there are significant opportunities to optimize our combined manufacturing and supply chain efforts to yield margin improvements over time alongside product enhancements that will allow us to attract more customers.

Highlighting the first point on slide 6, a key element of this transaction is the fact that overnight, we roughly doubled our IP portfolio to well over 600 patents issued or pending, including the largest portfolio of binder jetting IP in the market. We've highlighted some of those key patents and capabilities that I think are going to help drive adoption of AM by customers.

Q2 2021 Earnings Call	11-Aug-2021

ExOne's technology also provides us with the ability to more effectively target our customers' specific use cases. On slide 7, starting with the core technologies in metal, we each leverage variations on binder jetting. Desktop Metal offers Single Pass Jetting, or SPJ, and ExOne offers a process they call Triple Advanced Compaction Technology, or Triple ACT, which is a sequential binder jetting technology that requires multiple passes over a bed to achieve equivalent resolution.

As a result, SPJ is faster on a per layer basis to roughly 3 seconds per layer on our Production System P-50 versus 30 seconds a layer for Triple ACT on an X1 160Pro. The throughput of these technologies is primarily a function of layer thickness, so when you benchmark them on an apples-to-apples basis, SPJ can achieve several times the throughput of Triple ACT. However, ExOne's Triple ACT has several alternative benefits that customers may value for their applications. In particular, it is a very flexible technology and can easily be tuned to new materials. By placing both technologies under a single roof, we can more effectively provide the best solution to address each customer's specific needs.

The reality is that not all customers need to produce hundreds or thousands of parts per hour at the lowest achievable part cost. In fact, to achieve these operating economics, systems with SPJ require more upfront CapEx than those using Triple ACT. So in some markets where customers may require a larger build bed or lower volumes, Triple ACT is a great technology. And in other for high-volume markets like consumer electronics or automotive, SPJ is the best option for the most cost-effective production. So they're really complementary technologies, and combining them into a single portfolio provides customers with the flexibility to optimize production based on their specific application needs and the ability to bring the strengths of each technology to meet their future demands.

The bottom line is that both of these technologies under the Desktop Metal umbrella, our portfolio as a whole is significantly more competitive with the broader metal AM industry and will allow us to attract more customers away from conventional manufacturing processes.

The breadth of our combined portfolio in metals is illustrated well on this next slide, where you can see how our combined portfolio can take customers all the way from turnkey to mass production, providing anywhere from 4 liters of throughput per day to almost 250 liters of throughput per day.

One of the biggest benefits of this deal is that our product portfolios and go-to-market strategies are complementary, so ExOne's offerings will fill the gaps between Desktop Metal solutions. Even where throughputs are similar, there are differences in build volumes and vice versa. This acquisition creates a product lineup that combines throughput and flexibility and allows us to address the full spectrum of applications across speed, cost, resolution, and part size. I'm also particularly excited about the opportunity to evolve ExOne's products into more turnkey solutions.

At DM, we believe fragmentation between software, hardware, and materials has held back adoption of additive manufacturing. This fragmentation has often resulted in the inability to achieve part success or high yields quickly without significant development cycles. With our world-class front-end software tools that include proprietary sinter simulation and build prep solutions, as well as our proprietary and mass-produced furnace technology which we have developed entirely in-house, we believe we can evolve a subset of ExOne's products into more turnkey solutions that will make them easier for customers to adopt and to take into production.

And while we will continue to focus on maturing and evolving our core SPJ and Triple ACT technologies, this combination will allow us to focus more on the next frontiers of AM to make it more accessible to larger industrial customers, including full process automation, quality control, and additional scale.

Turning to slide 10, in manufacturing, materials are what drive applications and the adoption of new technologies. So supporting more materials and better material properties are critical to driving adoption. To that end, we think this deal will be really great for both Desktop Metal customers and for the AM industry as it will increase customer choice and the number of applications enabled by our platforms.

DM has a leading portfolio of over 225 materials across metals, ceramics, wood, elastomers and carbon fiber composites and we have an additional 25 materials in R&D and on our roadmap. Of that list of qualified and R&D materials, just under 30 are metals and ceramics for binder jetting and the rest are in bound metal and photopolymers.

As a result of decades-long investment at ExOne, they have an extensive list of more than 45 materials for binder jetting comprised of 23 qualified materials across metals, metal composites, ceramics, and sand, and over 20 additional materials in various stages of R&D. Between our two companies, we have scientists working on qualifying related materials, so by joining these teams, we'll be able to nearly double the horsepower here and multiply the number of materials available for our product portfolios in a shorter timeframe, in particular those specialty and proprietary alloys requested by select customers that we otherwise would not have approached independently due to lack of resources. We believe this transaction is going to increase the number of materials available to our customers and that's really exciting.

Even as currently constructed, acquiring ExOne would quickly bring Desktop Metal's portfolio of qualified materials to nearly 250 and I think this will lead to significant value for our customers in the long run. And the more materials available, the greater the adoption of additive manufacturing.

Moving on to slide 12, ExOne has earned a leadership position in digital casting, also known as sand 3D printing. They've provided binder jetting solutions to casting businesses longer than anybody else and the adoption of their solutions continues to grow at a good clip. Overall though, additive manufacturing has achieved less than 5% penetration into the more than 45,000 foundries around the world.

AM adoption has been limited by the cost of the equipment and as casting has shifted overseas, there's been a huge push to develop more entry-level and cost-effective AM systems. Our new RAM systems acquired through EnvisionTEC address this need. However, we're still in the process of maturing this unique, low-cost platform.

In partnership with ExOne, which has mature, high-performance offerings in this space, we think we can work together to, on one hand, improve productivity and throughput of Single Pass technology and, on the other hand, develop our low-cost solutions through ExOne's proprietary binders and materials, making them more attractive to a broader set of customers for whom sand printing has mostly remained out of reach.

Turning now to slide 13, we've spoken in the past about our software capabilities and our in-house sintering technology. Together, these enable turnkey digital workflows for metal AM that take customers all the way from initial design to final metal part and we're excited to bring some of these capabilities to the ExOne platforms we will acquire.

ExOne has similar, mature capabilities within sand 3D printing that enable full digital workflows for casting applications. This includes not only significant expertise in design and simulation from a software perspective, but also hardware innovations such as automated de-sanding equipment for large format sand printers. Their digital casting business is best-in-class and utilized at scale throughout the industry and we look forward to leveraging these capabilities in conjunction with our RAM system to make low-cost sand 3D printing more robust and accessible to help grow this market.

Moving to slide 14, we also see an interesting growth opportunity in new markets for large format tooling, where ExOne has the most advanced solutions in the market. In addition to their 420i tooling material, they have a low-cost composite tooling technology enabled by proprietary binders. You can print large format sand tools at high-speeds, lay up composite continuous carbon fiber prepreg or tape around the tool and then dissolve the tool using only tap water to obtain your part. It's a fantastic technology with a lot of potential.

We also see a huge opportunity around their new AMClad technologies which use a patented infiltration technique to create durable tools for processes such as vacuum forming. And this technology has applications for end-use parts as well, such as outdoor architectural and design elements where the durability and customizable surface finish are key.

Let me focus now on the go-to-market efforts for the combined company on slide 16. At Desktop Metal, we're a channel-first company. We utilize our unique proprietary distribution network to achieve broader access to the market at scale. It's provided us with an installation capability in over 65 countries through our fantastic partners. They are excellent at uncovering sales opportunities, but their sweet spot is transactions under roughly $450,000, where the products are more turnkey and have faster sales cycles.

A lot of the products that ExOne currently sells are above this price range, as is our Production System P-50, which has a relatively high ASP. Through this transaction, our channel partners will gain additional products to monetize from ExOne's more entry-level offerings, while we add to our sales capacity on Production System offerings by leveraging ExOne's highly complementary direct sales team members.

Combined, I think there are significant cross-selling synergy opportunities here. The combined company will also multiply the service capacity for our customers, including full-time and fully-trained reseller technicians across the globe and across our product portfolios from entry level to large format and mass production solutions.

Turning to slide 17, ExOne has a unique business around funded R&D contracts to develop high-value materials and applications for a variety of businesses, including the US government. For example, with the Air Force, they're developing a super high strength steel that's roughly 20% stronger than conventional AM alloys. They've also got a very good relationship with leading national labs, including Lawrence Livermore and Oak Ridge. The team focused on creating these opportunities and developing special materials is world-class, in particular, because a lot of their developments have dual-use.

While these projects help our nation solve strategic problems, they also open up frontiers for the industry and enable applications discovery within commercial businesses that drive incremental AM system sales and additional funded R&D business.

So, we're very excited to bring this infrastructure in-house to Desktop Metal, where we can leverage their expertise across a wider product and technology portfolio to drive growth and create additional self-funded revenue streams. I want to recognize the team at ExOne that has led this effort, in particular Rick Lucas, who has done an incredible job driving the tip of the spear when it comes to materials for AM. This is a really unique asset and high-value team that we are bringing on as part of the transaction.

Q2 2021 Earnings Call	11-Aug-2021

That bring us to our final point on slide 19, which speaks to the financial and operational considerations of the transaction. We see a great opportunity through this combination to optimize our manufacturing and supply chain efforts. Desktop Metal has historically leveraged a third-party contract manufacturing model which requires significant upfront engineering investment, but enables low-cost architectures for high-volume turnkey solutions and quick turnaround times for shipping products to customers. It's a great model to help make AM systems more accessible to a wider set of customers.

Conversely, ExOne's manufacturing model is quite complementary, where they perform assembly and testing in-house which is well-suited to the higher BOM and larger, more complex systems that make up a good portion of their revenue, including systems like the S-Max Pro. We plan to leverage each of these models where they are best suited on a product-by-product basis to improve the cost structures in overall portfolio of the combined company. The acquisition will also result in additional scale that can be leveraged to drive down costs across systems and materials as well as drive fixed overhead absorption as we grow.

Together, these and other future synergy possibilities across the organization represent a meaningful opportunity to realize gross margin accretion for the company and get to our long-term margin targets faster.

Before finishing up, I'll provide a brief overview of the deal specifics on slide 20. Desktop Metal will acquire ExOne for $8.50 in cash and $17.00 in shares of Desktop Metal common stock, for a total consideration of $25.50 per share of ExOne. This represents a transaction value of $575 million and an enterprise value of $447 million net of ExOne's balance sheet of cash.

ExOne's Chairman and largest shareholder, Kent Rockwell, has stated his full support for the transaction, which the ExOne board recommended unanimously, and his intention to vote all of his shares in accordance with the board's recommendation. We expect this transaction to close in the fourth quarter of this year, subject ExOne shareholder approval and the satisfactory regulatory approvals and other customer closing conditions.

For the sake of clarity on the transaction details, I did want to mention that the deal consideration is subject to the collar as described in the presentation on slide 20 and in the press release we issued regarding the transaction.

We strongly believe that Desktop Metal can increase choice and flexibility for AM customers through its acquisition of ExOne. We are excited to further cement our leadership in additive manufacturing for mass production, and we believe that ExOne's complementary technologies and go-to-market efforts will help us accelerate the adoption of AM 2.0 across industries and business of all sizes.

And with that, let's open it up for questions. Thank you.

Q2 2021 Earnings Call	11-Aug-2021

QUESTION AND ANSWER SECTION

Operator: We will now begin the question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] And the first question comes from Noelle Dilts with Stifel. Please go ahead.

Noelle C. Dilts
Analyst, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc. Q

Hi. Good evening, Ric, John, Doug, James, and congratulations on the momentum of the respective companies in the quarter as well as coming together on the deal. I was hoping we could start with a little bit more on the financial side of how we should be thinking about things. I'll just use my numbers for ease. But when I look at our estimates for the year, the company's coming together would be about $172 million in revenue going to more like $300 million next year. Obviously you've talked a lot about the strength in portfolio, the strength in market position, the synergies. Should we – are there any aspects of the portfolio where you expect some overlap to result in and maybe some cannibalization. But this would be more than offset by the strengthened offering into the market. Is there a way that we can think about that from just how you're thinking about the revenue opportunity introductory here?

Ric Fulop
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc. A

I don't think so. I don't see much cannibalization. Actually I think there is a significant opportunity to make some of the ExOne products more turnkey leveraging the sinter simulation technology that we've got as well as the proprietary furnace technology that we mass produce and then essentially accelerate some of the adoption of products that are in different scales of production. So I'm excited about that and I'm also excited about the potential to expand the access to digital castings to a much broader set of customers, utilizing the mature technology that ExOne has and then marrying it with some of the RAM systems which offer a much more entry-level, more cost effective cost per cubic inch for cast molten core. So there's a significant opportunity to grow a business. And I think that we're very excited about the potential for this transaction and working together and welcoming the ExOne team into the Desktop Metal family.

Noelle C. Dilts
Analyst, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc. Q

Okay. Great. And then again I guess I'm getting a little specific. But you know any thoughts on as this business really continues to scale, what you're targeting from the gross margin profile of this you know mid-40s business something more like 50% any, any directional or guidance that would be helpful?

Ric Fulop
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc. A

Yeah. I think, long term for DM we strive to have north of 50% gross margin for our hardware. And I think that this is one area where we can help on the ExOne side as we've got a pretty sophisticated team that does manufacturing operations and a supply chain that could be helpful in maturing the cost structure or renewing the supply chain for the products that ExOne does have. That takes a little bit of time, you know it could take 24 months to fully execute a strategy like that. But I just see that over that – over time we're going to help mature and improve the gross margins for the products across the full portfolio.

Q2 2021 Earnings Call	11-Aug-2021

Noelle C. Dilts
Analyst, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc. Q

Okay. And then last question from me. Any time you kind of see competitors come together as one. I'm curious if you can provide any additional background on sort of this genesis of the idea that the companies could be better together?

Ric Fulop
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc. A

I mean I think the genesis of the idea is we've known each other for some time and obviously we're in the same 3D printing space and we've been talking for some time what I think makes – we really look at a full spectrum of opportunities here at DM. And we felt like there was a meaningful opportunity here in particular since ExOne had – we felt like the valuation from view point of view was attractive especially the cash position that they have made the deal possible and we feel that that time to strike was now.

Noelle C. Dilts
Analyst, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc. Q

Great. That's helpful. Thank you.

John F. Hartner
Chief Executive Officer & Director, The ExOne Company A

This is John and I'll just – hi, Noelle. I think the more we talk the more we saw compliments within the product portfolio. Again Ric mentioned some of them, I think the low-cost RAM is a great sand system as far as getting some smaller foundries, midsized foundries into it. I think what is needed is process knowledge and global coverage in some of the other technologies we have, that's additive. I think even in the – on the metals side, again it's the focus, we always see Desktop Metal focusing on speed. Great. There's parts of the market that are totally into that. We have flexibility, flexibility whether it's scale, larger sizes build boxes or potentially broader materials. I think – again the more we talked about it, the more we felt it was mostly complementary very little overlap and I think we're going to see customers adopt through our combined channels direct and indirect more of our products across the board.

Noelle C. Dilts
Analyst, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc. Q

Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

Operator: [Operator Instructions] The next question comes from Shannon Cross with Cross Research. Please go ahead.

Shannon S. Cross
Analyst, Cross Research LLC Q

Thank you very much for taking my question. I've been getting some comments from some investors and I guess, Ric, can you address when Desktop Metal came out, you talked about sort of there's legacy metal printing and then there's Desktop Metal which is part of the future of added manufacturing Desk metal printing. And to some extent ExOne was definitely in the legacy category. So, maybe you can look at go to the slide that had the products and explain what each one would be used for and therefore how they're differentiated or if you can provide some more thoughts on why you see excellent portfolio moving into the future?

Q2 2021 Earnings Call	11-Aug-2021

Ric Fulop
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc. A

Absolutely, Shannon. So as you know, we've got a technology of very high speed, it's our Single Past Jetting system that can do a layer in about three seconds. Some of the other capabilities that DM have is the software capability to really simulate how a part is going to destroy during sintering as well as we're the only company in in the 3D printing space with inkjet-based printing that also manufactures their own furnaces. And that enables in a level cost structure and it makes our products like our shop system or the P-1 or systems like that very much a turnkey solution that is easy to deploy and get into the market.

And so one of the attractive features that we see here is possibility to take a portfolio that may be more complex to sell and then add our software and being able to pair it with our sintering systems and make it more of a turnkey solution that is easier to get deployed. And I think that that's an attractive capability. So it's sort of their missing technology puzzles and capabilities that I think ExOne doesn't have as part of their portfolio today. And I think putting them together with us, it does actually make those products more compelling in the full – in the full spectrum of solutions that a customer would want.

And so I would say that another difference is the fact that ExOne makes smaller and larger build envelope systems than our P-50 we're sort of in the middle where we're close to 50-liter build envelope system that produces a lot of parts per day. They have a very, very large build envelope system in the 160 and something that's about half the size in build envelope on the 25 pro. And so, you could imagine a future where you add FPJ capabilities to build systems and also amplify the options to customers. So, you have sort of good better best version of something like a piece. What today's the P-50. That would take a long time to deploy and execute, but if you if you look at it from that point of view that gives you a picture of how you see a portfolio evolving over time and some of the additional rationale for doing this transaction.

Shannon S. Cross
Analyst, Cross Research LLC Q

Okay. And then, I just want to talk a little bit about liquidity and that. You're obviously picking up cash with ExOne but you're burning a fair amount of cash both definitely for Desktop Metal given all the acquisitions and where you're at now with EBITDA launches for the year and then looking at the fact that ExOne is also burning cash. So how should we think about liquidity? How are you looking at time to cash flow breakeven for the combined company? Thank you.

John F. Hartner
Chief Executive Officer & Director, The ExOne Company A

Yeah. So I would say that on a full year basis, the plan for ExOne is not going to consume that much cash for the second half of the year. It's almost breakeven on their end. And we re – we're utilizing their cash to fund a significant portion of the cash portion of this transaction which they raised at a higher price. So I would say I'll hand it over to James who can answer the second part of the question. Yeah.

James Haley
Chief Financial Officer, Desktop Metal, Inc. A

Yeah. So, yeah, so for clarity, as we put out today. We finished Q2 with north of $514 million in cash, cash equivalents and short term investments. So we are extremely well-capitalized, I mean, the M&A strategy. We've been very clear about and we have lots of dry powder left after this transaction. Certainly we are burning through cash as we continue to grow in scale the business and look at opportunities that have outsized returns over the next couple of years. But we're very comfortable with where we are and don't foresee any runway issues whatsoever, I mean, again we've finished with $514 million.

Perfect.

Operator: The next question comes from Greg Palm with Craig-Hallum Capital Group. Please go ahead.

Danny James Eggerichs
Analyst, Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC Q

This is Danny Eggerichs on for Greg today. I guess congratulations to both sides on the transaction.

Ric Fulop
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc. A

Thank you.

Danny James Eggerichs
Analyst, Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC Q

I guess looking from a broader scope how does this affect the binder single pass jetting as a technology and its presence in the 3D printing market as a whole? And I guess kind of the outlook of its evolution and ability to penetrate the overall 3D printing market?

Ric Fulop
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc. A

I think this is going to increase the penetration of binder jetting in 3D printing as we essentially add more materials that can be utilized to print materials are what enables applications in our market. And there are some overlap in efforts between both of the companies and by freeing up those resources to tackle additional alloys and materials. We open up the number of applications that the technology is and can be used for.

So I think it's very exciting. You could see synergy between what we're doing on wood with forest and some of the large frame systems that ExOne has. You could see synergy between the Single Pass Jetting best technology and some of the systems that ExOne has.

So there's definitely a significant opportunity as well as the Triple ACT recording technology. It has lots of areas where it's a very attractive technology. So, overall, I think that it's quite complementary and putting a company like ExOne in a well-capitalized enterprise like DM also helps the adoption of the technology for point of view of large companies that are looking to make decisions on very, very large programs, where they now can feel more comfortable in the balance sheet and the resources behind the larger technical team to really support the adoption of technology.

So, overall, I don't see any negatives. It should accelerate the adoption of binder jetting as a whole.

Q2 2021 Earnings Call	11-Aug-2021

Danny James Eggerichs Analyst, Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC Q

Yeah. Makes sense. And then, I guess what is your sense on potentially shared customers between Desktop Metal and ExOne, meaning maybe there are customers who are buying systems from both Desktop and ExOne on more of a trial basis and then kind of evaluating on which technologies they want to go with on a more longer-term basis?

Ric Fulop Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc. A

I think we have some shared customers. Today, we've got roughly – between all of the DM customer base, it's roughly north of 5,000 customers. And so, I think that there's definitely – ExOne has a long history in the sand casting space with most of the vehicle OEMs. We are working with a lot of them on the direct metal side and I would say both companies may have some overlap, but, in general, there's definitely cross-selling opportunities and the ability to increase penetration of this technology at scale and get people to adopt AM for mass production, which is our goal.

John F. Hartner Chief Executive Officer & Director, The ExOne Company A

Yeah. I'd just add to what Ric said. I think – I mean a lot of our customers are very large customers. They have many different operations, many different requirements. We have penetration on the sand side in almost every major vehicle OEM around the world. That's great. In some places, DM is on the metal side. In some places, we have other applications maybe for different materials. So, I think, again, it's going to work really well from a complementary standpoint. I think our customers have realized value of both platforms and we can just bring it to them faster.

Danny James Eggerichs Analyst, Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC Q

Okay. Great. I appreciate the color. I'll hop back in the queue.

John F. Hartner Chief Executive Officer & Director, The ExOne Company A

Q2 2021 Earnings Call	11-Aug-2021

John F. Hartner Chief Executive Officer & Director, The ExOne Company A

Hey, Josh.

Josh Sullivan Analyst, The Benchmark Co. LLC Q

Just curious if any customers were telling you the two portfolios would work well together, that they needed that flexibility between the two systems or was this really the two of you seeing the opportunity to go to market together?

Ric Fulop Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc. A

Well, I don't think – I mean I think that the synergy came from really understanding the capabilities of both companies in talking about how we could work together for a period of time. It wasn't a customer asking us can we do this, although we do have many engagements where people use some different technologies, for example, in the sand world, ExOne has a very mature technology. That is where they have very sophisticated simulation and they understand how to make casting very successful.

We've got a technology that's much more cost effective with the RAM systems for the entry level part of that market and being able to leverage those capabilities and put them together, for example, is a win-win for customers. And on the material side, offering more choice to customers is definitely a win-win for customers. So, there's many areas where there's a great transaction for the market and for customers and offering more choice to customers is what it's about.

Josh Sullivan Analyst, The Benchmark Co. LLC Q

Got it. And then, just circling back to – as you guys build up the portfolio here, just wanted to check in on the Forust and Adaptive3D. Can you just update us where those are? For Forust, how are conversations going with potential furniture customers and then on Adaptive3D, where's the product roadmap going at this point?

Ric Fulop Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc. A

Absolutely. I mean we have been absolutely overwhelmed with demand on Forust and I think it's been about 60 days since that got introduced. And we are super, super excited about the prospects that are developing there. They range from some of the largest companies in the world to luxury manufacturers of furniture and all other types of products.

So, I think that that's going to be a major business for the company. It's something we never forecasted before and I'm excited that that class of product has got a lot of potential. So, we'll update everybody as we convert that interest into revenue. But that also links into ExOne, because they also have large frames that could be adapted to print those types of materials. So, there's a real opportunity there.

And then, on Adaptive3D, we've got some real, real interest as well from large companies that want to leverage those materials. They make the world's best elastomers and pairing that with our Xtreme 8K, which is the largest DLP high-resolution, high-speed photopolymer system in the market, I think, is a win-win combination. And we're seeing it from the [ph] tops of (59:04) programs that are developing from that and I think that it opens up a whole new level of cost structure for mass production of elastomers with additive. So, we're excited about that.

Q2 2021 Earnings Call	11-Aug-2021

And one last point that I would say is ExOne has a technology called AMClad that they acquired. I think that that type of technology can also be used to do end use parts. They could be very attractive and can be mass produced in either the RAM systems or their large systems, not just used for tooling, but for large printed end use parts. So, there's a lot of interesting things here that we can commercialize over the next couple years and I'm excited about that.

Operator: The next question comes again from Shannon Cross with Cross Research. Please go ahead.

Shannon S. Cross Analyst, Cross Research LLC Q

Thanks. I just wanted to quickly go through the sales strategy and understand channel overlap versus the potential for channel expansion if you look at how both of your companies right now are distributing.

Ric Fulop Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc. A

Absolutely.

Shannon S. Cross Analyst, Cross Research LLC Q

And then, [indiscernible] (01:00:26) later, Ric.

Ric Fulop Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc. A

Thanks, Shannon. So, yeah, so we sell at DM primarily through a channel. We've got about 200 partners in over 65 countries. It is a fantastic very scalable way to support and sell products. That type of indirect access to market is quite efficient at products that are under $0.5 million. ExOne in the past had been selling product of almost exclusively through direct sales, and they have a full team of about 20 direct sales folks, plus all the support infrastructure that's required from applications engineering, and all the – so, it's a significant go-to-market team.

Now, that type of sales team is better suited for larger ASP-type products that are north of $1 million like their sand systems or even a product like P-50. So, I think that we're going to make it complementary and enable our channel to still monetize a very large format type of systems from a lead-gen point of view. But then we're going to be able to help close those deals. And then I think that having us service and support network globally that we have either through our internal team or through channel is also going to help accelerate installations and other things that we've got going on, not just for our products, but also for a company like ExOne who had relied on just an internal team exclusively.

So, I think it's complementary. We are going to make sure that we don't get channel conflict, and that we remained channel-first for the – from the point of view of the high velocity products. And actually ExOne was starting to build an indirect channel for those types of products from a competitive point of view. And I think that now they get a much more mature one, and we're going to get the half dozen partners that they had started signing up. So, it is a net positive on all aspects from a go-to-market point of view. I think it strengthens the combined company.

Shannon S. Cross Analyst, Cross Research LLC Q

Thanks.

Operator: The next question comes from Sarkis Sherbetchyan with B. Riley Securities. Please go ahead.

Sarkis Sherbetchyan Analyst, B. Riley Securities, Inc. Q

Hi, everyone. Congrats on the acquisition. And thank you for sneaking in my question here. Just a quick one from me. Ric, I think in your prepared remarks you talked about bringing together your software tools, including the proprietary sinter simulation and the build prep solutions, and I think you do have the furnace tech here, which is important for the binder jetting process. Maybe if you can dive a little deeper into leveraging what you've done on the software side with ExOne's product lines. Thank you.

Ric Fulop Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Desktop Metal, Inc. A

Absolutely. So, one of the most complex things in binder jetting, especially when you're going to have a center product, is the ability to predict what that part is going to look like after it's centered. And our company would put a significant amount of technical effort to turn that into a turnkey application. It gives you first part success right away, or as early as possible, and one of things that held back the adoption of all the sintering-based systems was the lack of that type of software capability and a well understood sintering process where every time you change a furnace, you have to calibrate everything else. And so that led to a lot of trial and error for competitors, and I think that it is an advantage to have – to be able to add those internally-developed proprietary technologies to a broader set of the market and more products, and that is a great thing for adoption.

So, we're going to be able to leverage that, but we've got other capabilities that we're developing, and you'll see them in the future as we advance the market. For example, our acquisition of Aerosint, which is just very recent. They have a very cool technology to enable multiple materials in powder in a bed. And I think that in a couple years, you could see products that do multi-color MIM or where you – if you have very specialized or advanced powders, you can sort of eliminate to have – you can reduce the amount of material that you're actually using to print a part and all other applications like that. So, there are many opportunities to advance the state-of-the-art technology and essentially make better products for customers. Hopefully that answered the question.
