Stratasys Announces Receipt of Unsolicited Proposal from 3D Systems

Stratasys, a leader in polymer 3D printing solutions, has announced that it has received an unsolicited non-binding indicative proposal from 3D Systems Corporation to acquire Stratasys for $7.50 in cash and 1.2507 newly issued shares of common stock of 3D Systems per ordinary share of Stratasys.

As announced on May 25, 2023, Stratasys entered into a merger agreement with Desktop Metal under which Stratasys and Desktop Metal will combine in an all-stock transaction. The transaction, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023, is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of Stratasys’ shareholders and Desktop Metal’s stockholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals.

The Stratasys Board of Directors will carefully review the 3D Systems proposal, in accordance with its fiduciary duties, and its obligations under Stratasys’ merger agreement with Desktop Metal, in consultation with its independent financial and legal advisors. The Stratasys Board has not made any determination as to the 3D Systems proposal within the framework contemplated by the Desktop Metal merger agreement, which remains in effect, nor changed its unanimous approval, recommendation and declaration of advisability of the agreed transaction with Desktop Metal.

On May 30, 2023, Stratasys announced that its Board, after consultation with its independent financial and legal advisors, unanimously determined that the partial tender offer by Nano Dimension to acquire ordinary shares of Stratasys for $18.00 per share in cash substantially undervalues the Company and is not in the best interests of Stratasys shareholders.
