Waltham, Mass., Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nano Dimension Ltd. (Nasdaq: NNDM) (“Nano” or the “Company”), a leading supplier of Additively Manufactured Electronics (“AME”) and multi-dimensional polymer, metal & ceramic Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) 3D printing solutions, today issued a letter to shareholders in connection with the Company’s upcoming 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (“the Annual Meeting”). The letter highlights how Nano’s Board and management team have delivered on commitments made to shareholders over the past 12 months, including improving Nano’s business performance, executing a disciplined capital allocation plan, and instituting important corporate governance enhancements.
After years of attacking Nano and attempting to gain control of the Company, Murchinson Ltd. (“Murchinson”) STILL has NO plan for value creation and NO executable ideas. With two representatives on the Board already, shareholders must vote FOR Nano’s highly qualified nominees to prevent Murchinson from gaining control of half the Nano Board and executing its plans to liquidate the Company.
Nano’s Board urges shareholders to protect their investment and the Company's future by voting “FOR” ALL of Nano’s proposals. Votes must be received by 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday, December 1, 2024. It is essential that shareholders vote as soon as possible – no matter how many or how few shares they own. Some brokers may have earlier deadlines, so shareholders are encouraged to VOTE TODAY to ensure their vote is counted.
Shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 22nd, 2024, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, which will be held on Friday, December 6th, 2024, at 7:00 a.m. ET.
The Company’s definitive proxy statement and other important information and resources related to the Annual Meeting can be found at www.ProtectingNanoValue.com or the investor relations page of the Company’s website.

Nano Dimension Shareholders: Time Is Running Out. VOTE to Protect Your Investment!
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
The deadline to vote in Nano Dimension Ltd.’s (“Nano” or the “Company”) 2024 Annual General Meeting is fast approaching on December 1, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Act TODAY to make sure your vote is counted – time is running out!
Your decision is critical to protect the future of your Company:
Vote FOR ALL of Nano’s proposals, including our two director nominees who are critical to the oversight of our strategy, and the continued execution of our plan to build significant long-term value for all Nano shareholders
OR
Vote AGAINST Murchinson Ltd. (“Murchinson”) and Anson Advisors, Inc. (“Anson”) and their efforts to further stack our Board with their representatives, derail our progress and liquidate your Company for their own self-serving gains
Since shareholders voted to support Nano’s Board of Directors and management team at last year’s Annual General Meeting, we have been delivering on the promises we made, executing our successful growth strategy to become a digital manufacturing leader and grow the value of your investment. Critical to the execution of our value-generating strategy are our two director nominees, experienced military leader General (Ret.) Michael X. Garrett and our seasoned CEO Yoav Stern – who, based on the recent court decision, is currently not a director and now stands for election.
With two of their directors already on the Nano Dimension Board, Murchinson, together with Anson, is trying to gain even more of a foothold to execute its VALUE DESTRUCTIVE plan. To support these efforts, Murchinson has opted to raise questions about alleged Nano relationships, making claims that are both baseless and untrue. This faction’s only objectives are to try to distract our leadership team, liquidate Nano, and line their own pockets with our cash reserves.
In contrast, our goal is to increase the long-term value of our Company – which, in turn, means growing your investment.
For most shareholders, the expected deadline to vote electronically will be 11:59 p.m. ET on December 1, 2024. Please vote as early as possible and follow the instructions on your voting instruction form as your broker may impose earlier voting cut-offs.
