Murchinson Challenges Nano Dimension's Silence on Oligarch Ties

Murchinson Ltd., a significant shareholder of Nano Dimension Ltd. (NASDAQ: NNDM), has raised concerns about the company's lack of response to reports suggesting questionable relationships between its leadership and affiliates of a sanctioned Russian oligarch. In a statement released on November 17, 2024, Murchinson urged Nano Dimension's CEO, Yoav Stern, and the board to address these allegations and provide transparency to shareholders.

The allegations center around Nano Dimension's acquisition of DeepCube, a company controlled by Yaron Eitan and Andrew Intrater, who are suspected of having ties to a Kremlin-connected oligarch. Murchinson questions whether Nano Dimension's board, including Christopher J. Moran of Lockheed Martin Ventures, was aware of these connections and if the sensitive nature of AI technology was considered during the acquisition.

Murchinson believes that Nano Dimension's silence on these matters is "deafening" and that shareholders deserve answers to several pressing questions. These include whether Stern and management were aware of the alleged connections, the identity of the beneficial owners of Anakhnu LLC, and whether the Nano Board was informed about these connections. Additionally, Murchinson wants to know if the potential impact on Nano Dimension's U.S. defense sector clients was considered during the acquisition.



The lack of response from Nano Dimension raises concerns about the company's governance and decision-making processes. If the allegations are true, Nano Dimension could face regulatory consequences, reputational damage, and potential loss of business from U.S. defense sector clients. To mitigate these risks, Nano Dimension must address Murchinson's concerns transparently and commit to stronger corporate governance.

In conclusion, Murchinson's challenge to Nano Dimension highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in corporate governance. As a shareholder, Murchinson is right to demand answers and clarifications from the company's leadership. Nano Dimension must address these concerns promptly to restore shareholder confidence and protect the company's long-term interests.
