I would now like to turn the call over to Nano Dimensions Yoav Stern and Markforged’s Shai Terum Yoav and Shai over to you.

Yoav Stern

Thank you very much this is Yoav speaking Shai thank you very much for participating with the teams Zivi and Tom from Nano and Asaf CFO from Markforged we have a very very exciting days and weeks and months ahead.

today is the first day and uh in slide number six you’ll be able to get a little bit of a taste of what you excited about this slide number six describes to you products that are Nano Dimensions electronic products and Desktop-metal uh Metal Products and others and then Nano Dimension micro Polymer Products is the Mount Rush motor you can see beside the quarter and this set of amazing products from the combined company of Nano Dimension Desktop-metal is meeting products as as per slide number seven which are products from Markforged which starts as I always say in this industry, everything starts with amazing material because if the material is not there then the rest of it doesn’t work Shai you want to speak a little bit about your product ?

Shai Terum

Sure thank you Yoav and good morning everyone.

Haa we at Markforged here are focused on bringing industrial production to the point of need and as you can see here some examples of parts printed on our digital Forge solution Haa which is one of the most reliable solution to the factory floor and you can see parts which are printed with the advanced composites including in continuous fiber reinforcements and of course metals you can see like copper welding chain which is actually used on a automotive manufacturing Flor as we speak.

Yoav Stern

Thanks Shai um one of the key concept of building a platform that will lead this industry is that we are going to work on domains which are mutual to all of us. Domains can be defined as vertical markets with the specific application solutions for them, if you look at slide number uh nine I think.

Which is the four points and starts with the strengthening the leadership in a manufacturing, you can’t do it unless you have synergy and distribution channel synergy and go to market we all sell to Industrial Automation companies Aerospace industry military and defence Automotive uh specific Desktop-metal very strong in health care and uh and we sell of course to AC Academy research institutions.

Not different is Markforged which is joining us uh we are building a a comprehensive portfolio for Sol solutions that will enable the combined company to do two things:

A to lead this industry and B to do it while it is working and improving its profitability that’s a key thing that doesn’t exist in this industry and that’s the reason the industry and so much as public companies is not showing the value. We intend to get the value to be surfaced by focusing on being able to turn it into profitable by having three companies together.

Point number one in this is of course the portfolio of products. uh if you see the slide where you see the products including binder jetting Digital Light processing additive inkjets and diffused filament fabrication from Markforged this is a combination of the products and or combination of the technologies the products are in the fields that we discuss before electronics microprocessing of my polymers and uh and the special materials now Shai can definitely speak to that as they’re bringing this into the picture Shai would like to say a few words on that?

Shai

Sure on the composite side and also on the metal size our core technology is around extrusion we have a range of materials from desktop printers all the way to the fx which is the large High scale for airospace applications and these printers are helping our customers to build functional parts that replace CNC Parts,machine parts right on the factory floor at the point of need by now we have about connected and active printers out there in the field and we are very excited to join the large portfolio of Nano Dimensions.

Yoav Stern

Thank you Shai uh next slide we speak at Point number two which is the important segment of metal AM the industry and the usage of additive manufacturing is just part of the digital industry 4.0 concept that we are carrying with the within ourselves because we have not only editing manufacturing but the part where editing manufacturing is penetrating the most the most and is showing the biggest amount of applications is the metal AM uh be it in uh defense and Aerospace be it in research of course be it in car industry and by bringing in Markforged we all not only bring the FX uh or the PX uh machines that are the industrial uh related machines that are using the materials we are bringing into our portfolio the material which is both a replacement from metal by being a polymer reinforced with fibbers and develop developed into giving solutions for polymers Stand Alone by themselves so so we are very very strong together with Desktop-metal in um our application and foray into the metal and the metal industry we’re talking about into manufacturing not into prototyping.

The next slide will is point number three again reinforces the materials and I can’t say it enough uh Shai just mentioned it I’ll say it again to you the one thing that attracted me in this industry to start with five years ago is the amount of work I could I felt I could do on materials and the minute I met Shai and the team in Markforged few years ago I looked at their materials which is call it composite materials or call it replacement for metal it’s a really a breakthrough and uh we’re very very excited that they are here together with us as part of the group.

The next slide discusses Point number four the financial strengths of Markforged growth and sales of close to 100 million close to 95 million in 2023 ER attractive extremely attractive over 30% of it was recurring Revenue guys this is the razor and the razor blade.

We’re talking now this Desktop-metal with recurrent Revenue which is closer to those numbers we’re talking about uh Markforged together with Nano will be a company that holds that almost has what’s called AAR annual revenue like when you have to from software the minute we have the machine in place we start to have recurring revenue on annual basis and Markforged is a big component on that secondly they have close to 50% gross margins this industry would not survive as a profitable industry if gross margins are not being 50 and above better closer to 60 and that’s our aim by bringing Markforged to be part of this platform that we are have been building and have been patiently building over the last three years now it’s the major or the largest for with the combination of the Tre companies and we will take the margins up and we will deliver dollars to the bottom line.

The near term efficiencies as a result of the synergies are expected to be immediate all the three companies are located in Boston uh that that means headquarters of Nano Dimension is moving to Boston it’s headquarters of North America always was in Boston it’s true for Desktop- metal and for Markforged we us to have a lot of savings there and not to speak about turning three public companies into one public company a lot of money saved there.

And then point number four kind of summarizes three points that they mentioned earlier the scale will be a company that on perform a basis for the end of with $340 million in revenue and uh the capital we have cash to support the growth is $475 million cash and cash equivalent at the clause which means we have about $2 a share of cash now not more than that because we use the money to buy $340 million of Revenue and to merge it together and it is going to be profitable because our focus is not only to grow the top line but rather to build a business model that grows the bottom line.

Next transaction sorry the next slide speaks about transaction summary uh just that everything is published but I’ll just mention it to everybody here we acquired we’re acquiring 100% of Markforged it’s all in cash it Con it is translated to $5 a cash $5 a share per mark for forer which is a premium give or take 71% premium to uh the day before we close and 68% premium to 90 days vwap average of traded volume traded uh share price and volume nice premium for the shareholders of um Markforged which we’re very happy for and a very good price for us the total consideration is $115 million but if you look at the amount of cash that Markforged had at the end of June last number that was forly uh reported they had $93 million of cash uh some of it was restricted so even on the net it was73, 74 million of cash and we’re 115 million paying so it’s a company that Markforged that is has already started its focus on bottom line it did a turnaround moves by reducing head count and heads hence reduce the amount of cash they’re burning on an annual and accordly basis and we’re very excited when they’ll join us that this process will continue in combination with us and Desktop- metal the transaction is fully financed by us we don’t need any financing out outside financing and uh it’s expected to close in you know two three months hopefully the end of the year or beginning of uh q1 uh around that time depends closing is depends on Markforged shareholders approving it in the shareholder’s vote which we expect to be successful based on the information we have today and as much as regulatory approvals it’s only CFUS we don’t need the out CFUS approval so CFUS is a organization that we are working with now also on approvals Desktop- metal transactions so we’re very familiar with very very exciting.

The next slide will show you a little bit of history just for perspective I’m not going to repeat everything that happened in the last three years since the end of 2021 but during 2023 2024 it’s really two and a half years We performed seven Acquisitions of smaller very strategic companies that created the base from which we launched the q3 24 large Acquisitions which I promised for two three years that we will do but we were waiting for the right price.

We would have not done this a year or two earli ,earlier, because the price was wrong now price was right now we have structure that will enable the three companies to deliver results and the payment of the cost of it was to will be totally justifiable and not overly paid and it causes us to feel that while the financial structure is right in place we are lucky to be joined not only with numbers but with the teams that are coming from Markforged today and came from Desktop- metal to create a real platform which will be industry leader as so much as Innovation people management and creativity Shai you would like maybe to summarize on your side?

Shai

Sure thank you Yoav we are very proud PR and excited to join this amazing platform a lot of innovation that goes into real production application a very strong balance sheet and scale we believe we can together lead this industry.

Yoav

Thank you Shai uh operator we would uh be happy to answer questions if there are any.

Operator

Thank you if you would like to ask a question please press star than one on your telephone keypad if your question has already been address and you’d like to remove yourself from Q please press star than two once again that’s star than one if you have a question today’s first question comes from Greg Palm with Craig hem Capital group please go ahead

Greg Palm with Craig hem Capital group

yeah hey everyone uh thanks for taking the questions and congrats on on the deal maybe you know just starting can you give us a little bit of you know sort of background info and in and you know the process that was run and in terms of the deal price specifically $5 a share you know a little bit more color on how you landed there you know exactly you know from a you know revenue or valuation multiple especially in light of you know what you paid for Desktop-metal which assumes um at least on an Enterprise Value standpoint seems to be um a little little bit more

Yoav

uh on my point Shai will speak on his uh angle from my point of view we’ have been looking at the valuation it’s not so much share per share price we look at the total Enterprise Value including the cash including the value of the business and we looked at the total number of dollars that goes out of our pocket to buy that. We had um our Bankers from Green Hill ER work uh on the numbers and compare very very in-depth work as comparative analysis to other valuations in this and other Industries and uh we feel that first of all in a revenue per sorry in a price comparing to revenue which is the lowest price that been paid in this industry from the other side on a price per share the shareholders of Markforged are getting a very nice premium of 70 you know 70 to 60 to 70% very very nice premium which is acceptable by the way it’s it’s it’s it’s a market and I’m happy to pay market and I’m happy that the shareholders of = Markforged will be receiving what the what what what it’s worth so the combination is that both sides like in every deal it’s a win-win situation it was a good price for us and a good price for the sholders of of um Markforged and is supported by the two bankers uh which did each one is work by itself and it’s supported by the process that will be published in in your proxy Shai you want to add to that?

Shai

it’s in the same lines thank you thank you Greg so we will be filing the proxy statement with all the details so you’ll be able to you guys will be able to see it later with that as Yoav said this transaction represent a very nice premium to our shareholders and it all in cash and once considering the cash utilization closing the Enterprise Value is essentially higher than what it looks today but we have a few more months to go.

Greg Palm with Craig hem Capital group

okay please and if I could you know ask about the the management team I I think Yoav have you had um talked about staying on as CEO when you announced the Desktop- metal transaction is that still still the case and in the combin now and any other changes to the management team that that you uh maybe foresee?

Yoav

yes stay and the management team is expected to join our management of the combined company some of the people will move to different um roles necessarily in Focus but we are creating an uh Office of the CEO which will be the most senior members of management of both companies we don’t see we didn’t see weakness serious weakness in the top management uh of uh the three companies we see certain opportunities to change roles and improve the efficacy of the combined management which is what we’ll do unfortunately there’s only one CEO and somebody needs to be that and that would be me but uh we’re working as a team.

Greg Palm with Craig hem Capital group

Okay and then you know let’s just assume that both the Desktop- metal and Markforged deals go through you’ll have a pretty comprehensive ensive product portfolio following that do you see any hes I mean are there any other technologies that you think you’ll either want or maybe need to add at some point in the future?

Yoav

The answer the answer is yes there’s very very clear technologies that I intend to add in the future but I’m not going to describe it now because it’s uh it is uh involving information that is inside information.

Greg Palm with Craig hem Capital group

Okay I will uh leave it there thanks thanks everyone.

Yoav

Thank you very much for your interest sir.

Operator

Thank you and as a reminder ladies and gentlemen if you’d like to ask a question please press star than one and our next question for today comes from Troy Jensen with caner Fitzgerald please go ahead.

Troy Jensen with caner Fitzgerald

Hey gentlemen uh first off congrat I think as most of you know I’m a huge fan of Markforged and the products have always been you know high quality and whatnot so I wish you guys all the best on this but uh congrats Shai a and uh and the team but uh um how about quick first I guess my first thought would be um just metal platforms I agree with the strength that you’re seeing right now in metals or that the industry is um you know as you combine these three companies together you you’re gonna have you know the X1 you’re gonna have Desktop- metal and you’re gonna have a digital metal so I’m just kind of curious to know what your thoughts on product consolidation and um you know which is the best uh binder platform to kind of consolidate on

Yoav

well the best binder Pro binder jetting Pro um program or product will win obviously but right now as St as we studying the Technologies we see a lot of complementary characteristics actually where the main main problem of this industry historically you know that Troy was spoke about it a lot is not necessarily the technology but people didn’t build Technologies with the thinking in mind of application and solution so the fact that we have the few Technologies we intend to organize them according to application and solution and certain binder Technologies are complimentary to each other because they go to different application based on specific characteristics of the materials and the technology and that’s that’s what we intend to do obviously once you add the the materials which are composite materials on the side of Markforged and the reinforced the polymers you’re now giving answers to the industry to the call it the met the need for metal manufacturing with a lot of other a lot of application and product that are combining uh the best the best application development and application fit in the industry.

Troy Jensen with caner Fitzgerald

okay perfect um just yeah I understand there will be product consolidation that’s a lot of the uh benefits right the cost savings and whatnot and can’t talk about them now but so you know we’ll see as it rolls out but um I guess my other thought too is just your strategist ownership now you know with Markforged you are going to be the largest shareholder of Stratassis and their largest competitor so can you kind of talk about and go ahead

Yoav

I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry no no go ahead please I’m sorry no

Troy Jensen with caner Fitzgerald

I say I always had this thesis that I thought you guys were waiting and gone to get FDM through the acquisition of Stratasys and to piggy back on Greg’s question does this kind of kill the idea of you know getting bigger in FDM

Yoav

No um we are now talking to first of all we are the largest shold of Stratasys that didn’t change and uh we are talking to strategies from a very different angle now obviously you understand that uh we’re talking to them about potential strategic cooperation we’re talking to them about very friendly relationship where we can leverage each other with each other’s strength and weaknesses and we have a plan to continue to stay a major shareholder in strategies we invested the money originally it it was a Strategic investment and it was not a trading uh exercise and we intend to stay there and uh depends on the events in the market and and our capability to deliver dollars to the bottom line we may change that position even for the better so but it will be in cooperation with the Stratasys.

Troy Jensen with caner Fitzgerald

Okay get it um and then how about you made a comment about having $2 in cash is that all liquid or does that include the shares the longer term Strategic investment and Stratasys.

Yoav

The $2 in cash is a rounded figure it’s actually maybe 2.2 which includes the um the the Holdings and strates if you look at the the um sorry the press release it say we have $475 million of cash and cash equivalent the cash equivalent is the acquis the Holdings and strategies so together it’s 475 now we have 219 million shares give take $2 so uh divide 475 to 219 you get to the give take $2 a share.

Troy Jensen with caner Fitzgerald

Gotcha all right all right I get it last one I’ll I just don’t think there’s probably a lot of questions so hog the floor here a bit but uh how about uh just a thought of uh rebranding now um you know with all these new platforms coming together are you going to still be Nano Dimensions or we be a branding out ?

Yoav

No we’re not going to be in dimension we’re going to Rebrand the whole group as we see today it’s a industry leader between the two or three industry leaders that you have traditionally historically I don’t think we want to compare ourselves to ourselves we want to compare ourselves to the new guy on the Block to the more Innovative to the more uh successful in as much as assortment of products and therefore we’re going to Rebrand.

Troy Jensen with caner Fitzgerald

yep totally agree all right well Yoav congrats thank you for consolidating the industry here and leading it at least and uh and Shai and team congrats also.

Yoav

Thank you very much joy

Operator

okay and our next question today yes sir it comes from Katherine Thompson with Edison please go ahead

Katherine Thompson with Edison

Hi there um I think on the last earnings call when you were asked about any further potential m&a you talked about being very focused on integration but that you would do more m&a within kind of management’s bandwidth with this acquisition you’ve just announce now is that it for kind of management bandwidth for the next months or so or could we still see further add-on m&a in the next 12 months?

Yoav

You may see addons while I don’t believe you’ll see addons in this size because we’re going to be focusing in the next 24 months plus in structuring the business right developing the channels together with Synergy developing the financial structure that will take dollars to the bottom line so I don’t expect a major acquisition unless it’s a merger or something but not not necessarily planned uh I expect uh potentially smaller Acquisitions that will need to be in order to complement certain in the product line.

Katherine Thompson with Edison

Okay um and then I’m not sure how much you can say about this but I know when we last spoke you were talking about the integration plans that were being put together for you know day one of Desktop- metal closing um I’m assuming now with this deal coming along as well does that kind of throw some of those plans up in the air or I guess were you doing this already in the knowledge that you were hoping to buy Markforged as well?

Yoav

The second part of your sentence we obviously and so everything is calculated into the day one and then there’ll be a day two.

Katherine Thompson with Edison

Right okay thank you

Yoav

Thank you very much

Operator

Thank you and as a reminder to ask a question please press star than one we’ll pause for just a moment to assemble our roster and ladies and gentlemen this concludes our question and answer session I’d like to turn the conference back over to Yoav for any closing remarks.

Yoav

Okay thank you very much Operator, thank you very much for everybody that participated today we have a few hundred uh I think uh and we’ll check it out but if you want to follow up please feel free to write us we would like to keep now in contact with three groups of shareholders which we’re very excited about that are going to become part of them liquid with being paid and part of them may want to invest or reinvest in the new Nano which will include their former company companies merge together we will encourage this very very much please consider our share being undervalued comparing to what we are and who we are today and it’s a beautiful opportunity and we would love to have you as shareholders thank you very much Shai thank you very much for participating.

Shai

Thank you everybody.

Operator

Thank you this concludes today’s conference we thank you all for attending Nano Dimensions conference call you may now disconnect your lines and have a wonderful rest of the day.

Following the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), Common Stock (as defined below) will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Merger Consideration. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Markforged (“Common Stock”) (other than (i) shares of Markforged preferred stock par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), (ii) shares of Common Stock held by Markforged as treasury stock or otherwise held directly by a Markforged subsidiary, the Company or Merger Sub, and (iii) shares of Common Stock held by Markforged stockholders that are entitled to, and have properly demanded appraisal for such shares, in accordance with, and have complied in all respects with, Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (such shares, “Dissenting Shares” and together with clauses (i)-(ii), the “Excluded Shares”)), will be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $5.00 per share (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), without interest and less any applicable tax withholdings. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Excluded Share, other than Dissenting Shares, will be cancelled and cease to exist and no consideration will be paid or payable in respect thereof. At the Effective Time, (i) each Dissenting Share will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and such Dissenting Stockholder (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Stockholders’ Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and (ii) each share of Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Excluded Shares, will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.

Stock Options. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each In-the-Money Company Stock Option (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is outstanding, vested and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled, and the holder of such In-the-Money Company Stock Option shall be entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, the Per Share Merger Consideration for each Net Share (as defined in the Merger Agreement) covered by such In-the-Money Company Stock Option, without interest and less applicable tax withholdings. For the avoidance of doubt, any Out-of-the-Money Company Stock Option (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be cancelled, and the holder thereof will receive no consideration therefor.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Each restricted stock unit of Markforged (each, a “Markforged RSU”) unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled and replaced with a grant by the Company of restricted share units (“Replacement RSUs”) on similar terms and conditions as were applicable to the Markforged RSUs under the Markforged incentive award plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) any continued employment or service requirement will be based on the applicable Continuing Company Employee’s (as defined in the Merger Agreement) continued employment or service with the Company or its subsidiaries, including the surviving corporation, (ii) except as otherwise agreed between Parent and the holder of the Markforged RSUs, each holder of such unvested Markforged RSU will have the right to elect to either (a) have the existing vesting schedule for such unvested Markforged RSU apply to the Replacement RSU that is replacing such unvested Markforged RSU or (b) receive an additional number of Replacement RSU in accordance with certain terms, and (iii) the number of Company ordinary shares, par value NIS 5.00 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), underlying the Replacement RSUs will be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon vesting of the Markforged RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time by the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Per Share Merger Consideration by (b) the volume weighted average price of an American Depositary Share of the Company (representing a beneficial interest in one (1) Ordinary Share) for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day that is immediately preceding the day that is three (3) days prior to the Closing, rounding down to the nearest whole number of shares and subject to certain customary reductions.

Warrants. Each warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Markforged Warrant”) will, in accordance with its terms, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder of the Markforged Warrant or Markforged, cease to represent a Markforged Warrant exercisable for Common Stock and will only represent the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration that the holder of such Markforged Warrant would have received if such Markforged Warrant had been exercised for Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Earnout Shares. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time and without any action on the part of the recipient thereof, such recipient’s right to receive any Company Earnout Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be cancelled and the holders of such rights to receive Company Earnout Shares will be entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect to each Company Earnout Shares it is entitled to receive, a cash payment equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration that would be payable in accordance with the Merger Agreement in respect of a share of Common Stock.

Board Representation and Governance. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of Markforged will resign from office effective as of the Effective Time and the Board of Directors of Merger Sub will become the Board of Directors of Markforged. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, the officers of Markforged immediately prior to the Effective Time will continue to be the officers of Markforged.

The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by each of Markforged and the Company in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement or in filings and reports of the parties with the SEC. These confidential disclosure schedules contain information that modify, qualify and create exceptions to the representations, warranties and certain covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Article I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1. The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (as may be amended from time to time, the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company pursuant to the Merger. At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving entity in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).

Section 1.2. Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Merger shall take place at the offices of Greenberg Traurig, P.A., 401 East Las Olas Boulevard, Suite 2000, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (or remotely through electronic exchange of signatures) at 8:00 am, Eastern time, on the date that is the third (3rd) Business Day following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of those conditions), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed in writing between the parties. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.3. Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (a) at the Closing, the Company and Merger Sub shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the certificate of merger relating to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”), executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and (b) as soon as practicable thereafter, make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the time that the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later time as Parent and the Company may agree and specify (or cause to be specified) in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective, the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4. Effects. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, all the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.5. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the parties, or the holder of any shares of Capital Stock of Merger Sub or the Company:

(a) Cancellation of Preferred Stock, Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Any shares of (i) Company Preferred Stock and (ii) Company Common Stock that are held in the Company’s treasury or are held directly by any Company Subsidiary, Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, with the Dissenting Shares, the “Excluded Shares”) shall, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid or payable in respect thereof.

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Excluded Shares, shall be converted into the right to receive, an amount of cash equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(c) Treatment of Converted Stock; Adjustments. All shares of Company Common Stock, when converted pursuant to Section 1.5(b), shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Certificates”) and each holder of a non-certificated outstanding share of Company Common Stock represented by book entry (“Company Book Entry Shares”), shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration to be issued in consideration therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding Company Common Stock represented by the Company Equity Awards shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any additional Capital Stock is issued upon any exercise of rights under any shareholder rights plan, as applicable, or any similar event shall have occurred, then any number or amount contained herein that is based upon the number of shares of Company Common Stock will be appropriately adjusted, without duplication, to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event (provided that this Section 1.5(c) shall not be construed to permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action with respect to its Capital Stock or otherwise that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement).

(d) Merger Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the parties or any of their respective shareholders or stockholders, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and all rights in respect thereof, shall forthwith be canceled and cease to exist and be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, which shall constitute the only outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(e) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by a stockholder who is entitled to demand, and properly demands, appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (such stockholders, the “Dissenting Stockholders” and, such shares of Company Common Stock, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, but instead each such Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (and, at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such Dissenting Stockholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively waived, withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively waived, withdrawn or lost such rights, each Dissenting Share held by such Dissenting Stockholder shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.5(b), and immediately following such conversion shall be automatically cancelled and cease to exist. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, and shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to all such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, settle or offer or agree to settle any such demands. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Article II to pay for shares of Company Common Stock for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to Parent on demand.

Section 1.6. Company Equity Awards and Company Incentive Award Plans.

(a) As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof:

(i) Each In-the-Money Company Stock Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and the holder of such Company Stock Option shall be entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, a cash payment equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of each Net Share (if any) covered by such Company Stock Option, without interest and less applicable Tax withholdings. For the avoidance of doubt, any Out-of-the Money Company Stock Option shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall receive no consideration therefor;

(ii) Each Company RSU Award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that remains unvested at the Effective Time (each, an “Unvested Company RSU Award”) shall automatically be cancelled and replaced with a grant by Parent of a restricted stock unit award (a “Replacement RSU Award”), which Replacement RSU Award shall be granted on similar terms and conditions as were applicable to the Unvested Company RSU Award under the Company Incentive Award Plan prior to the Effective Time, except (A) any continued employment or service requirement will be based on the applicable Continuing Company Employee’s continued employment or service with Parent or its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, (B) unless otherwise set forth on Section 1.6(a)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the existing vesting schedule for such Unvested Company RSU Award will apply to the Replacement RSU Award that is replacing such Unvested Company RSU Award (provided that, with respect to such Replacement RSU Award, each holder of Unvested Company RSU Awards that is a participant in the MarkForged, Inc. Executive Severance and Change in Control Plan as set forth on Section 1.6(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule will be entitled to maintain any vesting acceleration to which they are entitled thereunder), and (C) the number of Parent Ordinary Shares (underlying Parent ADSs) underlying the Replacement RSU Award shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Unvested Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounding down to the nearest whole number of shares; provided, however, that in no event shall the number of Parent Ordinary Shares (including without limitations, the underlying Parent ADSs) underlying such Replacement RSU Awards exceed the Maximum ADS Amount, and to the extent such Replacement RSU Awards exceed the Maximum ADS Amount, such Replacement RSU Awards will be reduced on a proportionate basis;

(iii) As of the date of this Agreement, the Company has taken any and all actions required to (A) terminate the Company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) provide that no offering period shall commence after the date of this Agreement;

(iv) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall adopt such resolutions and take such other actions as are necessary to terminate the Company Incentive Award Plan effective as of the Effective Time; and

(v) Each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, in accordance with its terms, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof or any other Person, cease to represent a Company Warrant exercisable for Company Common Stock and shall become a warrant exercisable for the Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder would have received if such Company Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt such resolutions and take such other actions as are reasonably necessary, including without limitation providing any required notices and obtaining any required consents (if any), to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.6(a). All Company Stock Options and Company RSU Awards, as well as the Company Incentive Award Plan and the Company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, shall no longer have any force and effect on or after the Effective Time.

(c) As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, the right to receive any Company Earnout Shares shall be cancelled and the holder of such rights to Company Earnout Shares shall be entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, a cash payment equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration that would be payable in accordance with Section 1.5(b) in respect of a share of Company Common Stock.

Article II

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

Section 2.1. Exchange Agent and Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall engage a U.S. bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange and paying agent (the “U.S. Exchange Agent”) and, at Parent’s discretion, an Israeli sub-paying agent (the “Israeli Exchange Agent” and each of the U.S. Exchange Agent and Israeli Exchange Agent, as applicable, an “Exchange Agent”), in connection with the Merger for the purpose of exchanging Certificates or Uncertificated Shares for the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock and the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to any In-the-Money Company Stock Option pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(i). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the U.S. Exchange Agent and/or the Israeli Exchange Agent, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, cash sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration. All cash deposited with the Exchange Agent is hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Exchange Agent shall invest the cash in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, however, that such cash shall only be invested in the manner provided in the Exchange Agent Agreement; provided, further, that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to holders of Company Common Stock or In-the-Money Company Stock Options entitled to receive such consideration and, to the extent necessary to pay the Merger Consideration, Parent shall promptly (and in any event, prior to Closing) cause to be provided additional funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of holders of Company Common Stock or In-the-Money Company Stock Options entitled to receive such consideration in the amount of any such losses. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and paid to, Parent on termination of the Exchange Fund.

Section 2.2. Exchange of Shares, Certificates and Book-Entry Shares.

(a) Procedures for Surrender.

(i) Company Certificates. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record Company Certificates, which at the Effective Time were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each share of Company Common Stock held by it immediately prior to the Effective Time, a form of letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the same (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may specify subject to the Company’s reasonable approval), together with instructions thereto, all information required by Exchange Agent for the Payor securing the Withholding Tax Ruling and/or such other forms as are required under any applicable Tax Law, in which the beneficial owner of Company Common Stock provides certain information (and, if applicable, supporting documentation) necessary for Parent or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, to determine whether any amounts need to be withheld from the consideration payable to such beneficial owner hereunder pursuant to the terms of the Ordinance (in each case, subject to the terms of the Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained, the Code, if applicable, or any provision of applicable Law).

(ii) Company Book-Entry Shares. Any holder of the Company Book Entry Shares whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted pursuant to Section 1.5(b) into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration shall not be required to deliver a Company Certificate (nor an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof nor an indemnity bond) or an executed Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one or more Company 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 promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each share of Company Common Stock held by such registered holder immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the provisions of Article I and this Article II, for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Company Book Entry Share, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(f) and Section 5.4.

(iii) Company Stock Options. Any holder of In-the-Money Company Stock Options that is entitled to Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(i), shall not be required to deliver an executed Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. In lieu thereof, but subject to such holder of In-the-Money Company Stock Options providing the Exchange Agent with the Valid Tax Certificate, each such holder of Company Stock Options shall automatically upon the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall pay to the Surviving Corporation, for further payment to the applicable holder through its payroll processing system as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each Net Share covered by such In-the-Money Company Stock Option held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the provisions of Article I and this Article II, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(f) and Section 5.4.

(b) Merger Consideration Received in Connection with Exchange. Upon (i) the surrender of Company Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, or (ii) in the case of Company Book Entry Shares, the receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent, and in the case of Company Certificates together with the Letter of Transmittal and with all the documentation as specified in Section 2.2(a)(i), duly, completely and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each share of Company Common Stock held by it immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(f) and Section 5.4. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each share of Company Common Stock (including any Company Certificate with respect thereto) shall be deemed at any time from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Merger Consideration that the holder of such share of Company Common Stock was entitled to receive in respect of such shares pursuant to Section 1.5(b). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Company Certificate or in respect of Company Book Entry Shares.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Per Share Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. If, after the Effective Time, any Company Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock or any Company Book Entry Shares are presented to Parent or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Unless otherwise determined in the Withholding Tax Ruling, any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options who has not theretofore complied with this Article II for twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Exchange Fund Termination Date”) shall be delivered to Parent and any holder of Company Common Stock or In-the-Money Company Stock Options who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for Per Share Merger Consideration, and thereafter any withholding in connection with the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration to such holder shall be made in accordance with the procedures outlined under Section 2.2(f).

(e) No Liability. None of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Certificates or the holders of evidence of Company Book Entry Shares on the date that is the fifth (5^th) year anniversary of the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Exchange Fund would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Entity) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Withholding Rights.

(i) Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, and the Exchange Agent and each of their respective Affiliates (each, a “Payor”) shall each be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable to a holder of Company Common Stock and/or In-the-Money Company Options pursuant to this Agreement, any amounts that are required to be withheld or deducted with respect to such consideration pursuant to the Ordinance, the Code, if applicable, or any other applicable provisions of Israeli or non-Israeli Tax Law and, solely with respect to any Israeli Taxes, in accordance with the Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions and subject to any other provision to the contrary in the Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained, with respect to Israeli Taxes, the consideration payable to each holder of Company Common Stock and/or In-the-Money Company Options shall be retained by the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of each such holder of Company Common Stock for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Closing (or such longer reasonable period as may be provided by Parent or the Surviving Corporation in order to permit holders of Company Common Stock and/or In-the-Money Company Options to submit a Valid Tax Certificate, the “Withholding Drop Date”), unless Parent, or the Exchange Agent is otherwise instructed explicitly by the ITA (during which time no Payor shall make any payments to any Holder of Company Common Stock and withhold any amounts for Israeli Taxes from the payment deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, except as provided below and during which time each holder of Company Common Stock and/or In-the-Money Company Options may obtain a Valid Tax Certificate) shall each be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable to a holder of Company Common Stock or In-the-Money Company Stock Options pursuant to this Agreement, any amounts that are required to be withheld or deducted with respect to such consideration pursuant to the Ordinance, the Code, if applicable, or any other applicable provisions of Israeli or non-Israeli Tax Law and, solely with respect to any Israeli Taxes, in accordance with Section 2.2(f)(ii). To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

(ii) Israeli Withholding Procedures. If a holder of Company Common Stock delivers and/or In-the-Money Company Options, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date (x) in case the Withholding Tax Ruling is obtained, such declarations and/or residency certificate(s) for Israeli Tax withholding purposes and any supporting documentation required by Withholding Tax Ruling, as applicable, or (y) a Valid Tax Certificate to a Payor (or such other forms as are required under any applicable Tax Law) all in accordance with ‎Section 2.2, then the Merger Consideration due to such holder of Company Common Stock and/or In-the-Money Company Options shall be paid to such holder of Company Common Stock and/or In-the-Money Company Options and the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes shall be made only in accordance therewith subject to any non-Israeli withholding which is applicable to the payment (if any). Subject to the Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained, if any holder of Company Common Stock and/or In-the-Money Company Options (A) (i) does not provide Payor with a such declarations declaration and/or tax residency certificates for Israeli Tax withholding purposes and all supporting documentation under the Withholding Tax Ruling (in case the Withholding Tax Ruling is obtained and requires such supporting documentation) or a (ii) Valid Tax Certificate (or such other forms as are required under any applicable Tax Law), by no later than three (3) Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date, or (B) submits a written request with Payor to release his portion of the consideration prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to comply with the provisions of subsection (A)(i) or (A)(ii) as applicable, at or before such time, then the amount to be withheld from the portion of consideration payable to such holder of Company Common Stock and/or In-the-Money Company Options shall be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate as reasonably determined by Parent, or the Exchange Agent, as applicable. Otherwise, Israeli Tax withholding shall be made by the Parent and/or the Exchange Agent based on and pursuant to the Withholding Tax Ruling or the respective Valid Tax Certificate, as reasonably determined by Parent or the Exchange Agent, as applicable. Unless otherwise determined in the Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained, any withholding made in New Israeli Shekels with respect to payments made hereunder in Dollars shall be calculated based on a conversion rate on the date the payment is actually made to any recipient and any currency conversion commissions will be borne by the applicable payment recipient and deducted from payments to be made to such payment recipient. If applicable, any payment to a holder of the Company Common Stock and/or holder of In-the-Money Company Stock Option hereunder, as applicable, shall be delivered by the U.S. Exchange Agent (unless otherwise required by the Withholding Tax Ruling).

(iii) If following the date hereof, the parties mutually determine in good faith, based on discussions with the Exchange Agent, or based on the Withholding Tax Ruling, that the parties are required to act in a manner other than as provided for above with respect to the Tax withholding and payment procedures set forth therein, the parties agree to take all action necessary or advisable to act in accordance with such required Tax withholding and payment procedures.

(iv)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the withholding rights and/or obligations conferred upon a Payor shall also apply to any Person which is entitled to receive consideration under this Agreement in connection with any of the Company’s equity securities.

(g) Lost Certificates. If any Company Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed (including a customary indemnity in respect thereof), the Exchange Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate, the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(h) No Subsequent Transfers of Company Common Stock. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

No Company Subsidiary owns any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than any such shares owned by any Company Subsidiary in a fiduciary, representative or other capacity on behalf of other Persons, whether or not held in a separate account).

(b) As of the Reference Date: (i) 1,067,659 shares of Company Common Stock are subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding Company Stock Options, of which 2,892 shares of Company Common Stock are subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding In-The-Money Company Stock Options and 1,064,767 shares of Company Common Stock are subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding Out-Of-The-Money Company Stock Options; (ii) 2,124,965 shares of Company Common Stock are subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding Company RSU Awards, (iii) 852,500 shares of Company Common Stock are subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding Company Warrants; (iv) 5,945,673 shares of Company Common Stock are reserved for future issuance of awards under the Company Incentive Award Plan; and (v) 1,727,667 shares of Company Common Stock are reserved for future issuance as Company Earnout Shares.

The Company has delivered or made available to Parent or its counsel a copy of the Company Incentive Award Plan covering all of the Company Equity Awards outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, and the forms of stock option agreement, restricted stock award, restricted stock unit grant agreement and/or performance-based restricted stock unit grant agreement, as applicable (“Company Equity Agreement”), evidencing such Company Equity Awards, and, of any individual Company Equity Agreements to the extent the terms set forth in such individual Company Equity Agreement are materially different than as set forth in the form agreements. Each Company Stock Option has been granted with an exercise price that is no less than the fair market value of the underlying shares of Company Common Stock on the date of grant, as determined by Company Board in its sole discretion in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Each Company Stock Option and Company RSU Award is exempt from Section 409A of the Code.

(f)   There are no voting trusts or other Contracts to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or, to the Knowledge of the Company, to which any other Person is a party, with respect to the voting or registration of any shares of, or other equity interest in, the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

The Company shall (A) keep Parent reasonably informed in all material respects and on a reasonably current basis of the status and details (including any material change to the terms and conditions thereof (including any change in price or exchange ratio)) of any Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer, notice or request and (B) provide to Parent, as soon as practicable (but in no event more than twenty four (24) hours) after the receipt thereof, copies of all material documentation or material written correspondence exchanged between the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Person or any of their Representatives that has made an Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company, inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer, notice or request, on the other hand, which describes any of the terms or conditions of such Acquisition Proposal. The Company agrees that it shall not, after the date hereof, enter into any agreement which prohibits it from complying with its obligations under this Section 6.1(b).

Section 6.2. Preparation of the Proxy Statement and Delisting.

(a) Parent and the Company will promptly furnish to the other party such data and information relating to it, its respective Subsidiaries and the holders of its Capital Stock, as Parent or the Company, as applicable, may reasonably request for the purpose of including such data and information in the Proxy Statement, and, in each case, any amendments or supplements thereto.

(b) The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement with respect to the solicitation of proxies at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting for the adoption and approval of the Transaction Proposals and other matters reasonably related to the Transaction Proposals at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”), all in accordance with, and as required by, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and the Company’s bylaws, as applicable, the DGCL and any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC or NYSE. The Company shall comply in all material respects with the notice requirements applicable to the Company in respect of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting pursuant to the DGCL, the Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Company’s bylaws, as applicable. Parent and the Company shall each use reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to mail the Proxy Statement to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as possible following the completion of the SEC review. The Company will advise Parent promptly after it receives any request by the SEC to amend the Proxy Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or any request by the SEC for additional information, and Parent and the Company shall jointly prepare promptly and Company shall file any response to such comments or requests, and the Company agrees to permit Parent (to the extent practicable), and its outside counsels, to participate in all meetings and conferences with the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company will (A) provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response); and (B) include all comments reasonably and promptly proposed by Parent. The foregoing obligations of the Company in clauses (A) and (B) shall not apply in connection with and to the extent relating to any disclosure regarding a Company Change in Recommendation made in compliance with the terms of Section 6.4(a).

(c) Parent and the Company shall make all necessary filings with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and applicable blue sky laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(d) If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event occurs with respect to Parent or the Company, or any change occurs with respect to information supplied by Parent or the Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, or any information relating to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by Parent or the Company, which is required to be described or that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that such documents 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 with respect to which such event occurs or which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the Company’s stockholders.

(e) The Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the NYSE to enable the delisting of Company Common Stock from the NYSE and the deregistration of the same under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

Section 6.3. Company Stockholders’ Meeting. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Law and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as applicable, to duly call, give notice of, convene a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of seeking the Company Stockholder Approval of the Transaction Proposals as herein provided (the “Company Stockholders’ Meeting”) as soon as practicable after the date the SEC has informed the Company that it has no further comments to the Proxy Statement. Subject to Section 6.4(b), the Company shall, through the Company Board, recommend to the Company’s stockholders that they give the Company Stockholder Approval and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement (the recommendation of the Company Board that the Company’s stockholders vote to give the Company Stockholder Approval being referred to as the “Company Board Recommendation”), and the Company shall, subject to Section 6.4(b), use its reasonable best efforts to solicit sufficient proxies from the Company’s stockholders in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and to take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure the Company Stockholder Approval (including engaging a nationally recognized proxy solicitation firm). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may, after consultation with Parent, adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders’ Meeting only: (a) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement that is required by applicable Law is timely provided to the Company’s stockholders; (b) if as of the time for which the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting; or (c) if additional time is required to solicit proxies in order to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that (i) no single adjournment shall be for more than thirty (30) days unless otherwise required by applicable Law, and (ii) all such adjournments together shall not cause the date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting to be held less than five (5) Business Days prior to the End Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting if (1) the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting by applicable Law, or (2) the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall have reasonably determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that it is necessary under applicable Law to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting in order to give the Stockholders sufficient time to evaluate any information or disclosure that the Company has sent or otherwise made available to such holders by issuing a press release, filing materials with the SEC or otherwise (in each case so long as any such information or disclosure was made in compliance in all material respects with this Agreement); provided that the Company shall be permitted to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting pursuant to this clause (2) on no more than two (2) occasions and no such adjournment or postponement shall delay the Company Stockholders’ Meeting by more than ten (10) days from the prior-scheduled date or to a date on or after the fifth Business Day preceding the End Date. Except as required by applicable Law, in no event shall the record date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting be changed without Parent’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to Section 6.1 and the Company’s rights to terminate this Agreement under the circumstances set forth in Section 8.1, the Company agrees that its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company or any other person of any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding any Company Change in Recommendation, unless this Agreement has been validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, (A) the Company shall submit this Agreement to the holders Company Common Stock for approval at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting and (B) the only matters to be voted upon at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting shall be the adoption of this Agreement and routine proposals required in connection with such vote (and not any other matters, including any Acquisition Proposal).

Section 6.4. Change in Recommendation.

(a) Company Change in Recommendation. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.4, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall, directly or indirectly: (i) withhold or withdraw or qualify, modify or amend in a manner adverse to Parent (or publicly propose to do so) the Company Board Recommendation; (ii) fail to reaffirm or re-publish the Company Board Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days after Parent requests in writing that such action be taken (or, if earlier, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting); (iii) fail to publicly announce, within ten (10) Business Days after a tender offer or exchange offer relating to Company Common Stock shall have been formally commenced or after any change in the consideration being offered thereunder, a statement disclosing that the Company Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer; (iv) publicly announce that the Company Board has recommended, adopted or approved any Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company (each of the foregoing actions described in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Company Change in Recommendation”) or (v) take any action or make any “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “supermajority,” “affiliate transactions” or “business combination statute or regulation” or other similar anti-takeover laws and regulations of the State of Delaware, including Section 203 of the DGCL, inapplicable to any third party or any Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Company Superior Proposal; Intervening Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may effect, or cause the Company to effect, as the case may be, a Company Change in Recommendation in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement, in each case if, and only if:

(i)   (A) the Company has not breached its obligations under Section 6.1 in connection with the Acquisition Proposal referred to in the following clause (B); (B) after the date of this Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal is made to the Company and is not withdrawn; (C) the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to make the Company Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law; (D) prior to giving effect to clauses (E) through (H), the Company Board shall have determined that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, (E) the Company shall have provided Parent with five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to effect a Company Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement, and specifying, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor, and which written notice shall include the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and a copy of the most current draft of any contract relating to such Acquisition Proposal; (F) during such five (5) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company engages in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the Acquisition Proposal that was determined to constitute a Superior Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal; (G) at the end of such five (5) Business Day period, such Acquisition Proposal has not been withdrawn and in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Company Board continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent as a result of the negotiations required by clause (F) or otherwise); and (H) at the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board determines in good faith, after having consulted with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal, a failure to make a Company Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the duties of the Company Board under applicable Law; provided, however, that in the event of any material revisions to the applicable Acquisition Proposal (including any change in price or exchange ratio), the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to again comply with the requirements of this Section 6.4(b)(i) with respect to such new written notice (except that any reference to five (5) Business Days shall instead be three (3) Business Days); or

(ii) In connection with an Intervening Event relating to the Company, the Company Board may make a Company Change in Recommendation if the Company Board determines at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Approval, after having consulted with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Intervening Event, a failure to make a Company Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law; provided that: (A) the Company shall have provided Parent with five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to effect a Company Change in Recommendation and specifying, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor; (B) during such five (5) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with respect to any change or modifications to this Agreement which would allow the Company Board not to make such Company Change in Recommendation; and (C) at the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board determines in good faith, after having consulted with its outside legal counsel, that, taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent as a result of the negotiations required by clause (B) or otherwise, a failure to make a Company Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the of the Company Board under applicable Law.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act; or (iii) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders required by applicable Law or stock exchange rule or listing agreement, which actions, in the case of clauses (i)-(iii), shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a Company Change in Recommendation so long as any such disclosure (x) includes an express reaffirmation of the Company Board Recommendation, without any amendment, withdrawal, alteration, modification or qualification thereof; and (y) does not include any statement that constitutes, and does not otherwise constitute, a Company Change in Recommendation unless, prior to the time of such disclosure, a Company Change in Recommendation has been made in compliance with this Section 6.4. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.4 shall not permit the Company Board to make a Company Change in Recommendation, except to the extent permitted by this Section 6.4.

Section 6.5. Access to Information; Confidentiality. Subject to applicable Law, during the Pre-Closing Period and upon reasonable prior notice, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access to all their respective properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Parent (a) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of Federal or state securities Laws other than those publicly available in the SEC’s EDGAR (or successor) system; and (b) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request; provided, however, that (i) the Company may withhold any document or information that (A) is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party in effect as of the date of this Agreement (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure); or (B) is subject to any attorney-client, attorney work product or other similar privilege (provided that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of such attorney-client, attorney work product or other similar privilege); and (ii) if, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, any Law (including antitrust Laws) applicable to the Company requires the Company or its Affiliates to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information, the Company or its Affiliates may so restrict or prohibit such access, including by designating such information as “Clean Team Only” or “Outside Counsel Only” pursuant to a customary Clean Team Confidentiality Agreement agreed between the parties. If any material is withheld by the Company pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, the Company shall inform Parent as to the general nature of what is being withheld and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into an alternative arrangement, including a “clean-team” agreement, pursuant to which such information may be shared without violating such applicable Law. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be subject to the Mutual Confidential Disclosure Agreement between Parent and the Company and dated as of August 17, 2023, as amended (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Section 6.6. Notification of Changes. Each of the Company, on the one hand, Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall give prompt written and oral notice to the other of (a) any Proceedings commenced or, to such party’s Knowledge, threatened by or against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that relate to this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions; (b) any event, effect, condition, change, occurrence, development, circumstance or state of facts that would reasonably be expected to cause the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Article VII; or (c) the occurrence or existence of any Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, or the occurrence or existence of any event, effect, condition, change, occurrence, development, circumstance or state of facts that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable; provided, however, that the delivery of notice pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall not (i) limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to any party or (ii) cure any breach of, non-compliance with, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

Section 6.7. Required Actions.

(a) Regulatory Approvals. The parties shall cooperate with each other and, subject to Section 6.1 and Section 6.4, use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable, subject to the limitations in this Section 6.7, to obtain the Required Regulatory Approvals necessary to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably possible, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) prepare and file a CFIUS Declaration, and further prepare and submit a CFIUS Notice in the event that CFIUS requests, pursuant to 31 C.F.R. § 800.407(a)(1), that the parties submit the CFIUS Notice; (ii) prepare and file other necessary and advisable registrations, declarations, notices, petitions, applications and filings relating to the Merger with Governmental Entities under antitrust, competition, foreign direct investment, trade regulation or similar Law within twenty (20) Business Days following the date of this Agreement; (iii) obtain all Consents or nonactions under the antitrust, competition, foreign direct investment, trade regulation or similar Laws listed in Section 6.7(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Required Regulatory Approvals”); (iv) seek to avoid or prevent the initiation of any investigation, inquiry, claim, action, suit, arbitration, litigation or proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity challenging the Merger or the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (v) furnish to the other all assistance, cooperation and information required for any such registration, declaration, notice or filing in order to achieve the effects set forth in the foregoing sub-clauses (i) through (iv).

The parties shall consult with each other in good faith prior to pulling and refiling or agreeing to pull and refile the CFIUS Notice or other filing, or agreeing with any Governmental Entity not to consummate the merger for any period of time, or agreeing to any timing agreement with any Governmental Entity.

(d) Coordination and Information Sharing. Each party shall (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry relating to the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) promptly notify the other party of any material communication it or any of its Affiliates (or their respective Representatives) receives from any Governmental Entity relating to the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and keep the other parties informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, or communication; (iii) subject to applicable Law, and to the extent practicable, permit the other party to review in advance, and consider in good faith the other party’s comments to, any proposed material communication, filing or submission by such party to any Governmental Entity; (iv) not agree to participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement or the Merger or transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend; and (v) furnish the other party with copies of all material correspondence, filings and written communications between them and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives on one hand, and any such Governmental Entity or its staff on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement or the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Frustrating Actions. The Company shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries not to, and Parent shall not, and shall cause the Parent Subsidiaries not to, acquire or agree to acquire, by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing part or all of the assets of or equity of, in any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or take any other similar action, if the entry into of an agreement relating to, or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation, or the taking of any other similar action, would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, the Required Regulatory Approvals; (ii) increase, in any material respect, the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) increase the risk, in any material respect, of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise; or (iv) prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.8. Takeover Laws.

(d)  Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(f)  No Partnership, Agency, or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create, and creates, a contractual relationship and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship between the parties hereto.

(g)  Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(h)  Severability. 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 such that the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

(i) Specific Performance; Remedies Cumulative. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed by the Stockholder in accordance with the terms hereof and, accordingly, that Nano shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which Nano may be entitled at law or in equity, including without limitations, (a) the Stockholder’s obligations to vote Stockholder’s Shares as provided in this Agreement, without proof of damages, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Stockholder acknowledges that without these rights, Nano would not have entered into this Agreement.

The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.
