Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As disclosed under the sections entitled "Proposal No. 1-The Business Combination Proposal," "The Business Combination" and "The Merger Agreement" beginning on pages 86, 180 and 206, respectively, of the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus (the "Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus") and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 10, 2020 by Trine, Trine entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 26, 2020, with Sparrow Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trine ("Merger Sub"), and Desktop Metal, Inc., now known as Desktop Metal Operating, Inc. ("Legacy Desktop Metal"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 11, 2020, by and among Trine, Merger Sub and Legacy Desktop Metal (the "Amendment" and as amended, the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Legacy Desktop Metal, with Legacy Desktop Metal surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Business Combination" and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Transactions").

On December 8, 2020, Trine held a special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting"), at which the Trine stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Business Combination, including (a) adopting the Merger Agreement and (b) approving the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and related agreements described in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, following the Special Meeting, on December 9, 2020 (the "Closing Date"), the Transactions were consummated (the "Closing").

Item 2.01 of this Report discusses the consummation of the Transactions and the entry into agreements relating thereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As described above, on December 8, 2020, Trine held the Special Meeting, at which the Trine stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement and the Transactions. On December 9, 2020, the parties consummated the Business Combination. In connection with the Closing, the Company changed its name from Trine Acquisition Corp. to Desktop Metal, Inc.

Holders of 26,049 shares of Trine's Class A common stock sold in its initial public offering (the "public shares") properly exercised their right to have such shares redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the trust account holding the proceeds from Trine's initial public offering, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, which was approximately $10.17 per share, or $265,002.64 in the aggregate.

As a result of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy Desktop Metal preferred stock and common stock was converted into the right to receive approximately 1.221218442 shares of the Company's Class A common stock.

Additionally, the shares of Trine Class B common stock held by Trine Sponsor IH, LLC (the "Sponsor"), automatically converted to 7,503,750 shares of the Company's Class A common stock.

Pursuant to subscription agreements entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement (collectively, the "Subscription Agreements"), certain investors agreed to subscribe for an aggregate of 27,497,500 newly-issued shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $274,975,000 (the "PIPE Investment"). At the Closing, the Company consummated the PIPE Investment.

After giving effect to the Transactions, the redemption of public shares as described above, and the consummation of the PIPE Investment there are currently 226,704,981 shares of the Company's Class A common stock issued and outstanding.

The Company's Class A common stock and warrants commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbols "DM" and "DM.WS," respectively, on December 10, 2020, subject to ongoing review of the Company's satisfaction of all listing criteria following the Business Combination.

As noted above, an aggregate of $265,002.64 was paid from the Company's trust account to holders that properly exercised their right to have public shares redeemed, and the remaining balance immediately prior to the Closing of approximately $305.1 million remained in the trust account. The remaining amount in the trust account was used to fund the Business Combination. . . .

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

At the Closing, the Company consummated the PIPE Investment. Additionally, the 7,503,750 shares of Trine's Class B common stock held by the Sponsor automatically converted to shares of Class A Common Stock as of the Closing. The disclosure under Item 2.01 of this Report is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference.

The Company issued the foregoing securities under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as a transaction not requiring registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act. The parties receiving the securities represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution, and appropriate restrictive legends were affixed to the certificates representing the securities (or reflected in restricted book entry with the Company's transfer agent). The parties also had adequate access, through business or other relationships, to information about the Company.

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

The information set forth in Item 5.03 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

On December 9, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Deloitte served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Legacy Desktop Metal prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, Marcum LLP ("Marcum"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Business Combination, was informed that it would be replaced by Deloitte as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Marcum's report on the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the period from September 26, 2018 (inception) through December 31, 2018 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the period from September 26, 2018 (inception) through December 31, 2019 and the subsequent period through September 30, 2020, there were no: (i) disagreements with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or audited scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to Marcum's satisfaction would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report or (ii) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the year period from September 26, 2018 (inception) to December 31, 2018, the year ended December 31, 2019 and the interim period through September 30, 2020, the Company did not consult Deloitte with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Deloitte that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

The Company has provided Marcum with a copy of the disclosures made by the Company in response to this Item 4.01 and has requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the registrant in response to this Item 304(a) and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A letter from Marcum is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

            Year.

Copies of the Charter Amendment, A&R Charter and the A&R Bylaws are attached as Exhibit 3.1, Exhibit 3.2 and Exhibit 3.3 to this report, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The material terms of each of the A&R Charter and the A&R Bylaws and the general effect upon the rights of holders of the Company's capital stock are included in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus under the sections titled "Proposal No. 2-The Charter Amendment Proposal," "Proposal No. 3-The Charter Approval Proposal," "Proposal No. 4-The Governance Proposal," "Comparison of Stockholders' Rights" and "Description of Capital Stock of the Post-Combination Company" beginning on pages 87, 88, 91, 240 and 257 of the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.
