Failures and Abuse of Power Under Yoav Stern
Murchinson Ltd. (collectively with its affiliates and funds it
advises and/or sub-advises, “Murchinson” or “we”), a significant
shareholder with approximately 7.1% of the outstanding shares of
Nano Dimension Ltd. (NASDAQ: NNDM) (“Nano” or the “Company”), today
issued the following open letter to fellow shareholders regarding
the upcoming 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “2024
Annual Meeting”) scheduled for December 6, 2024.
***
Fellow Nano Dimension Shareholders,
Murchinson, one of the largest shareholders of Nano, has been
working tirelessly to effectuate shareholder-driven change at the
Company over the past two years. Despite the repeated actions taken
by Nano’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to disenfranchise and
prevent the voices of shareholders from being heard, we continue to
believe that together, we can reverse the status quo of terrible
governance and value destruction that has plagued the Company under
Yoav Stern’s leadership.
Now that Nano has announced the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting,
which is scheduled for December 6, 2024, we feel compelled to
remind shareholders of the deceptive actions the Board employed
before last year’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the
“2023 Annual Meeting”). As you may recall, Nano rushed to send
out a voting instruction form (“VIF”) that did not include
Murchinson’s director candidates, while using a false record date.
This was, in our view, an entrenchment tactic employed by the
Stern-led Board to confuse shareholders and make them believe the
2023 Annual Meeting would not be contested. For the avoidance of doubt, Murchinson intends to
nominate independent and well-qualified candidates to be voted on
at the 2024 Annual Meeting who can offer shareholders a preferable
alternative.
Although we notified Nano on October 9, 2024 that we will be
nominating candidates, the Board has wasted shareholder resources
by publishing a proxy card that will have to be revised and refiled
to reflect Murchinson’s shareholder proposals. We urge shareholders
to withhold any votes until the complete updated agenda for the 2024 Annual
Meeting is published and a revised proxy card and VIF that properly
reflect such updated agenda and Murchinson’s shareholder proposals
are distributed. We firmly believe that the only way to protect
shareholders’ best interests is to install truly independent
directors who are not beholden to Mr. Stern. We are confident that
shareholders will agree when they have an opportunity to review our
nominees’ qualifications as well as more information about the
Board’s and Mr. Stern’s mishandling of Company resources and
reckless destruction of value.
At present, Murchinson intends to submit proposals to:
- Nominate two director candidates as Class I directors; and
- Implement various amendments to the Company’s Articles of
Association, including adding a requirement for shareholder
approval of major M&A transactions.
We look forward to making our case for much-needed change in the
coming days and weeks so that Nano shareholders can be fully
informed before they vote to elect the Company’s directors,
determine management compensation and set the governance structure.
We are still in this fight, and we advise shareholders to wait
to cast their vote until we have an opportunity to show them a
better alternative to the status quo.
Sincerely, Murchinson Ltd.
