Nano Dimension Receives Hart-Scott-Rodino (“HSR”) Clearance for the Stratasys Special Tender Offer

Antitrust Approval Marks Significant Step Towards Completion of Tender Offer

Waltham, Mass., July 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nano Dimension Ltd. (Nasdaq: NNDM, “Nano Dimension” or the “Company”), a leading supplier of Additively Manufactured Electronics (“AME”) and multi-dimensional polymer, metal & ceramic Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) 3D printers, announced today that the waiting period under the Department of Justice’s (“DOJ”) Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (“HSR Act”) has expired in connection with its special tender offer for Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS) (“Stratasys”); thus, no further regulatory review by U.S. antitrust authorities is required in connection with the special tender. 

The HSR Act is a U.S. federal law that requires companies to notify the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the DOJ about certain proposed mergers and acquisitions and observe a waiting period prior to close, which provides the U.S. antitrust authorities the opportunity to review the transaction. This waiting period has expired. 

By satisfying the HSR Act requirements, Nano Dimension demonstrates its commitment to adhering to the appropriate legal procedures and looks forward to completing its tender offer and bringing customers the benefits of the companies’ combined offering.
