Nano Dimension (NNDM, Financial) experienced a substantial stock downturn today, with its share price plummeting by 16.83% to $1.73. The decline follows a Delaware Court of Chancery ruling against Nano Dimension in their dispute with Desktop Metal (DM) regarding a merger agreement.
The court's decision requires Nano Dimension to secure regulatory approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and proceed with the $183 million acquisition of Desktop Metal, emphasizing the need for a national security agreement. The court also upheld Desktop Metal's request for "specific performance" to enforce the merger agreement, dismissing Nano Dimension's counterclaims.
