    Believes Nano's Ongoing Value Destruction, Worst-In-Class Corporate Governance and Misallocation of Corporate Resources Warrants Urgent Change in Company's Boardroom

    Murchinson's Nominees Would Bring Independent Perspectives and Relevant Experience to Restore Shareholders' Confidence in Leadership, Establish Appropriate Capital Allocation Processes, Hold Management Accountable and Oversee Strategy Development and Implementation

    Murchinson Ltd. (collectively with its affiliates and funds it advises and/or sub-advises, "Murchinson" or "we"), a significant shareholder with approximately 7.1% of the outstanding shares of Nano Dimension Ltd. (NASDAQ:NNDM) ("Nano" or the "Company"), today announced it has nominated two director candidates – Robert (Bob) Pons and Ofir Baharav – for election to the Nano Board of Directors (the "Board") at the upcoming 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the "2024 Annual Meeting"), scheduled for December 6, 2024.

    In addition to its director nominations, Murchinson has also submitted proposals for inclusion on the agenda for the 2024 Annual Meeting related to amendments and additions to the Company's Articles of Association.

    Murchinson stated:

    "For the past two years, we have been advocating for changes in the Nano boardroom that are critical in order to protect and create long-term shareholder value. In March 2023, Nano shareholders sent a clear message when they voted overwhelmingly at the special general meeting we called in favor of removing CEO Yoav Stern, Oded Gera, Igal Rotem and Yoav Nissan-Cohen from the Board. Despite 85% of voting shareholders voting to remove them, Messrs. Stern, Gera and Nissan-Cohen have refused to recognize these results and depart the Board.

    Since then, Nano has gone to great lengths to ignore this clear desire for change and disenfranchise shareholders, including by manipulating the voting process at last year's annual general meeting of shareholders and weaponizing the legal systems in Israel and the U.S. at shareholders' expense. While we are confident that the merits of our case will prevail, we cannot wait for the Israeli Court's decision. Despite Nano's so-called "refreshment" of the Board, it is clear to us that the problems identified by Murchinson persist and the Board remains subservient to Mr. Stern.

    Nano's Board has demonstrated that it is unable to improve the Company's valuation. The Company's share price is stagnant and the Board, having spent approximately $160 million on share repurchases, appears to have no ideas to improve it.

    The Board has shown that it is incapable of holding management accountable. The proposed compensation package for Mr. Stern, which we find offensive because, among other things, it is misaligned with actual performance, confirms that the Board is not protecting shareholders' interests nor properly overseeing management.

    The Board's actions reveal that it lacks the necessary judgment to use Nano's cash and other resources responsibly. Between the related-party acquisition of DeepCube from two sitting directors at an inflated value in 2021, the overpriced, misguided acquisitions of Desktop Metal, Inc. (NYSE:DM) and Markforged Holding Corp. (NYSE:MKFG), and management's demonstrated inability to integrate acquired businesses and generate synergies, there is compelling evidence that additional independent voices with M&A experience are needed.

    When a publicly traded company is valued at a discount to its cash, shareholders are signaling that they do not believe the company's leadership can create value. This persistent negative enterprise value reveals that the Nano Board either does not care or is not able to convince shareholders otherwise.

    Our experienced and independent nominees are:

    • Robert (Bob) Pons, who has more than four decades of experience as a CEO and senior executive at high-growth technology companies, as well as corporate governance expertise and unique turnaround insights from service on more than sixteen public company boards.
    • Ofir Baharav, who was a Nano Dimension director from 2015 to 2021, including as Chairman from 2019 to 2021, has a career spanning more than two decades in the technology and 3D printing sector, including as VP Product Management of Nano's competitor Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ:SSYS), and brings experience in M&A, operational improvements, product development, corporate governance and enhancing shareholder value.

    By electing these nominees, shareholders will be adding independent, objective directors with the right skills and experience to help the Company implement a long-overdue solution to its significant valuation issue and ensure the Company's resources are used to advance shareholders' interests. Importantly, these director candidates are not beholden to Mr. Stern and are committed to acting in accordance with their fiduciary duties at all times.

    We look forward to sharing more with our fellow shareholders in the near-term, including evidence that the Board's priorities are in direct conflict with shareholders' best interests."
