ISS Recommends Nano Dimension Shareholders Support All Four of Murchinson's Proposals ? Including the Removal of Yoav Stern From the Board


Murchinson Ltd. (collectively with its affiliates and funds it advises and/or sub-advises, "Murchinson" or "we"), the largest shareholder with approximately 5.2% of the outstanding shares of Nano Dimension Ltd. (NASDAQ: NNDM) ("Nano Dimension" or the "Company"), today announced that one of the leading international proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS"), has recommended that shareholders vote to support all four of Murchinson's proposals, including the appointment of Murchinson's two independent nominees and the removal of four sitting directors ? including Chairman Yoav Stern.

In the report, ISS raised serious concerns around Nano Dimension's performance, governance and discount to NAV while supporting Murchinson's nominees:1

Specifically, regarding performance and strategy, ISS noted:

Regarding Chairman and CEO Mr. Stern and the other three nominees targeted for removal ? as well as Murchinson's independent nominees ? ISS concluded:

Criticizing Nano Dimension's corporate governance and response to Murchinson's campaign, ISS wrote:

Murchinson stated: "ISS has fully recognized change is urgently needed at Nano Dimension. It is clear that ISS ? and we believe other shareholders ? share many of the concerns we have expressed throughout our campaign about the Company's alarming performance, governance and disregard for the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Notably, the report spells out the culpability of Chairman and CEO Mr. Stern in black and white. ISS's respected standing as both an expert in contested situations and as an objective third party should reinforce to shareholders that the call for change at Nano Dimension is the right one. As ISS notes, waiting means risking further value destruction. We strongly encourage fellow shareholders to vote today."

Murchinson's specific proposals ? each of which ISS supported based on the reasoning that they would improve corporate governance and Murchinson's campaign deserved support ? are:

  1. Amend and restate Article 41 (Continuing Directors in the Event of Vacancies) of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Association to allow shareholders to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors of the Company at a general meeting of shareholders of the Company.
  2. Amend and restate clause (f) of Article 42 (Vacation of Office) of the Articles of Association to allow shareholders to remove directors by a simple majority at a general meeting of shareholders of the Company.
  3. Remove four current directors of the Company: Mr. Stern, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Oded Gera, Igal Rotem and Dr. Yoav Nissan-Cohen, in addition to any and all new directors appointed by the Board (if any) following December 19, 2022 and until the conclusion of the Meeting.
  4. Appoint two highly qualified candidates who are independent of each other, of Murchinson and of Nano Dimension ? Mr. Kenneth H. Traub and Dr. Joshua Rosensweig ? to serve as directors of the Company.
