Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The information provided in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on
Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
At the effective time of the first Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of ExOne ("ExOne Shares") issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the shares that
are owned by Desktop Metal, ExOne, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II), was converted
into the right to receive (a) $8.50 in cash, without interest, and (b) 2.1416
shares of Desktop Metal Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share
("Desktop Metal Class A common stock").
At the Effective Time, (a) each outstanding unvested option to purchase ExOne
Shares was converted into an option to acquire a number of Desktop Metal Class A
common stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares
of ExOne common stock subject to such option by 3.1416, with an exercise price
per share of Desktop Metal Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained
by dividing the exercise price per share of ExOne common stock by 3.1416;
(b) each outstanding vested option to purchase ExOne common stock was cancelled
and the holder thereof became entitled to receive the excess of the merger
consideration over the aggregate exercise price of such ExOne vested option, so
long as such ExOne vested option's exercise price was less than the merger
consideration; (c) each award of restricted shares of ExOne subject to the ExOne
Change of Control Severance Plan ("ExOne COC RSAs") vested and were cancelled
and the holder of such ExOne COC RSA received the merger consideration; (d) each
award of restricted shares of ExOne common stock not subject to the ExOne Change
of Control Severance Plan ("ExOne RSAs") vested and were cancelled and the
holder of such ExOne RSA received the merger consideration; and (e) each award
granted under the 2021 Executive Stock Performance Program was converted into
ExOne Shares (the "ESPP Award"), with the shares subject to such ESPP Award
becoming vested and such vested shares were cancelled and the holder received
the merger consideration.
In connection with the closing of the Mergers, Desktop Metal paid approximately
$191.4 million in cash and issued approximately 48.2 million shares of Desktop
Metal Class A common stock to former holders of ExOne Shares, including 0.6
million shares of Desktop Metal Class A common stock to former holders of ExOne
vested options, ExOne COC RSAs, ExOne RSAs and ExOne ESPP Awards.
The issuance of Desktop Metal Class A common stock in connection with the Merger
Agreement was registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Desktop
Metal's registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-259564)
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on
October 8, 2021 (the "Registration Statement"). The proxy statement/prospectus
in the Registration Statement contains additional information about the Mergers.
Based on the 20-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Desktop Metal common
stock on November 9, 2021, ExOne shareholders received $8.50 in cash and $16.43
in shares of Desktop Metal common stock for each share of ExOne common stock,
for a total purchase price of approximately $24.93 per share, representing a
transaction value of $561.3 million. Desktop Metal funded the cash portion of
the Merger Consideration with cash on hand, including ExOne cash on hand of $105
million.
