In light of the previously announced results of the Company’s 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders, dated December 6, 2024, and the previously announced ruling of the Israeli central region district court in Lod, dated November 21, 202,4 regarding Nano’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on March 20, 2023, Dr. Yoav Nissan-Cohen, Messrs. Eitan Ben-Eliahu, Oded Gera, Roni Kleinfeld, Chris Moran and Mrs. Georgette Mosbacher have resigned from the Board, effective immediately. Nano’s Board now consists of four members: Messrs. Ofir Baharav, Robert Pons, Dr. Joshua Rosensweig and Kenneth Traub. Mr. Baharav has been appointed as Chairman of the Board. Dr. Joshua Rosensweig will serve as the Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee and Mr. Robert Pons will serve as the Chairman of the Company’s Compensation Committee. Messrs. Baharav and Pons were elected to the Board following the AGM results and replaced the seats formerly occupied by Messrs. Yoav Stern and Michael X. Garrett. Messrs. Rosensweig and Traub were elected to the Board at the EGM. Still, since the Company had contested the legality of the EGM, they joined the Board immediately after the Court Ruling, which determined, among other matters, that the EGM was duly held. The vote that elected them to the Board was consequently valid. The Board commented that: “As a newly reconstituted Board, we are committed to strong corporate governance and executing plans to maximize long-term value for shareholders.” ## Biographies Mr. Ofir Baharav is a seasoned senior executive with a career spanning more than two decades in product development for the technology and 3D printing sector.
