Acquisition of Wematter

On July 3, 2023, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of Wematter AB (“Wematter”), a Swedish 3D printer manufacturer that will broaden 3D Systems’ Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) portfolio. The acquisition resulted in the Company acquiring 100% of the outstanding voting interest of Wematter. Consideration for this acquisition consisted of approximately $10,256 in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The Company also may be required to pay an additional €2,000 in cash, contingent upon the achievement of certain post-closing performance conditions and the continued employment of certain Wematter key employees for two years after the closing date. If earned, the €2,000 is expected to be recognized as compensation expense over the two-year service period that the key employees must remain employed at 3D Systems. Due to the timing of the consummation of this acquisition, the Company has not completed the allocation of the approximately $10,256 in cash purchase consideration to the acquired assets, assumed liabilities, and goodwill. Based upon the completion of this acquisition of Wematter, Wematter will not be required to repay the short-term note receivable outstanding as of June 30, 2023 (as discussed in Note 7).

Stratasys Proposal

Since June 2023, the Company has delivered to Stratasys Ltd.’s (“Stratasys”) board of directors multiple proposals to acquire all of Stratasys’ issued and outstanding ordinary shares of common stock. On July 13, 2023, the Company’s efforts culminated with the delivery of an enhanced proposal, along with a binding merger agreement delivered in escrow (the “Merger Agreement”) and an accompanying Escrow Letter (the “Escrow Letter”), for the acquisition of 100% of Stratasys’ issued and outstanding shares of common stock for per share consideration equivalent to (1) $7.50 in cash, or approximately $540,000 in aggregate cash consideration, and (2) 1.5444 newly issued shares of the combined company. In addition, the Merger Agreement commits the Company to pay, on behalf of Stratasys, a fee of $32,500 that would be incurred by Stratasys in connection with terminating a pre-existing merger agreement with Desktop Metal Inc. (the “Desktop Metal Merger Agreement”).

The delivered Merger Agreement and Escrow Letter will terminate on the earliest of the following potential dates: (1) August 28, 2023 or the third business day following the earlier of (i) Stratasys’ shareholder meeting to vote on the Desktop Metal Merger Agreement or (ii) a qualifying termination of the Desktop Metal Merger Agreement; (2) shareholder approval of the Desktop Metal Merger Agreement (or removal of the requirement for such approval); (3) consummation of any business combination or asset sale transaction between Stratasys and Desktop metal or (4) Stratasys’ willful breach of terms of the Desktop Metal Merger Agreement. If Stratasys executes the Merger Agreement and satisfies the conditions set forth in the Escrow Letter prior to each document’s expiration, the Company will be fully bound to all terms included therein. If executed, the Merger Agreement is expected to result in the current existing shareholders of Stratasys owning approximately 44% of the issued and outstanding shares of the post-merger, combined company. As the existing shareholders of 3D Systems are expected to own approximately 56% of the issued and outstanding shares of the post-merger combined company, 3D Systems expects to be deemed the acquirer for accounting purposes.

As the Company’s proposed acquisition of Stratasys remains contingent upon (1) the termination of the Desktop Metal Merger Agreement, (2) Stratasys accepting the Company’s proposed Merger Agreement, (3) approval of the transaction by the vote of both the Company’s and Stratasys’ shareholders, and (4) receipt of various regulatory approvals, consummation of the acquisition transaction is not assured. If the Merger Agreement is executed by Stratasys, both the Company and Stratasys become subject to a potential termination fee of $32,500, as well as reimbursement of up to $10,000 of the other party’s transaction-related expenses, if the Merger agreement is subsequently terminated for certain specified reasons or under certain specified conditions identified therein.
