Waltham, Mass., Feb. 15, 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 it is putting into action its previously announced share repurchase plan (the “Repurchase Plan”), allowing the Company to invest up to $100 million to repurchase its American Depository Shares (the “ADS”).

The Repurchase Plan authorizes the Company’s management to repurchase ADSs, from time to time, in open market transactions, and/or in privately negotiated transactions or in any other legally permissible ways, depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. Such repurchases will be made in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and applicable Israeli law.

The Company may repurchase all or a portion of the authorized repurchase amount The Repurchase Plan does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of the ADSs and may be suspended or terminated at any time at management’s discretion.

Yoav Stern, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nano Dimension, commented, “As we have informed our shareholders before, our board of directors has been considering, since last summer, the launching of the active buy-back process based on expected strategic development, including upcoming merger and acquisition events and the share price status as we expect certain business event to evolve.  As a high-tech growth company, buyers of our shares at the current price, as it trades below its cash value, imitate an investment in a “value company.” In practical terms it means that Nano Dimension’s share price represents a potential valuation upside of a high growth business but with inherent immediate value by buying cash at a discount, more like an investment profile in a value-based companies (where companies’ net asset value per share is above the traded price). Hence, we now proceed as we have previously promised to our shareholders.  While we continue with hitherto announced efforts to search and execute large synergistic M&A transactions, for which we have the right financing sources, we can reduce the number of our outstanding shares by a careful buy-back program, for the benefit of all of us, the shareholders.”

Mr. Stern concluded, “On a related matter, we are encouraged by the implementation of our vision on a quarterly basis and believe strongly in the Company’s value expansion in the near future.”
