Over the last decade, Shapeways has been built from the ground up with this idea in mind. Today, we are still only at the infancy of a digital transformation in manufacturing, and Shapeways is well positioned to both participate in and contribute significantly to this industry growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To\nthat end, we have taken steps to accelerate our strategic plan, which now\nincludes a business combination with Galileo Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: GLEO), a\npublicly traded special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).&nbsp; This merger is on track to close in Q3 2021,\nat which point Shapeways is expected to become a publicly traded company on the\nNYSE under the ticker symbol \u2018SHPW\u2019. Following this transaction, we will be\neven better positioned to serve our customers as their Digital Manufacturing\npartner of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Partner for Growth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\nare very excited to be working with the Galileo team, whom we have built a\nstrong relationship with over the past few quarters.&nbsp; Galileo brings\nsignificant experience as a successful SPAC sponsor while complementing our\ninternational and domestic expertise to further expand Shapeways\u2019 global reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over\nthe past three years, the Shapeways team has collectively worked to transform\nour offerings and go-to-market strategy to make an even bigger impact on\ndigital manufacturing. A key component to our growth-to-date has been the\nrelationships with our customers which has led to a high level of repeat\nrevenue. In 2020, 88% of Shapeways\u2019 revenue came from existing customers.\nShapeways\u2019 software was built to enable g deep integrations with our customers,\nconnecting seamlessly with their systems and infrastructure to become a mission\ncritical component of their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Equally\nimportant is Shapeways\u2019 global network of printer, materials and manufacturing\npartners. We have assembled a world-class partner ecosystem and global supply\nchain to drive on-demand manufacturing with speed and agility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving\nforward, we see a clear opportunity to utilize our technology to accelerate\nadoption in key markets, including industrial, medical, automotive and\naerospace segments. Continued expansion of materials usage encompasses advanced\npolymers and industrial metals, as well as materials across composites and\nceramics. In addition, we have the opportunity to expand beyond our core\nmarkets of North American and Europe to Asia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our\nlegacy has included shaping the way digital manufacturing could be done, and we\nare committed to continuing to lead this industry and shape how digital\nmanufacturing <em>will<\/em> be done in\nthe future as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Future of Digital Manufacturing is\nNow<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/business\/additive-manufacturing\">additive manufacturing<\/a> industry is approaching an inflection point, as it moves from prototyping parts and tooling to quality production at scale.\u00a0 In our opinion, this will unlock even greater global adoption and drive significant growth over the next decade. The digital manufacturing market is expected to grow from around $39 billion today to more than $120 billion over the next decade, representing a 12% Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), according to industry reports.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\nindustry is already making major progress to overcome many of the challenges\nthat have traditionally hindered adoption, including characteristics such as\nspeed, quality, materials availability (particularly in metals), part size, and\noverall digitalization of the end-to-end manufacturing process.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This\nis where Shapeways stands out most with our purpose-built, end-to-end\nproprietary software that has been developed and refined with sizable\ninvestments by its current shareholders and IP contributions by our team to\ndeliver the market\u2019s best offerings at scale.&nbsp;\nCurrently utilizing 11 additive manufacturing technologies and more than\n90 materials and finishes, with the ability to easily scale new innovation,\nShapeways provides a broad range of solutions to our customers \u2013which today\nexceeds more than one million customers across 160 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our\nagnostic approach to both manufacturing hardware and materials complements\nmembers of our hardware ecosystem, such as Desktop Metal, EOS and HP, along\nwith material providers such as BASF, DSM, and Henkel. This allows us to\nquickly adapt to market shifts and our customers\u2019 evolving needs, which are\nmore critical now than ever, given the current pressures on the economy and\nsupply chains during the global market recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A New Chapter for Shapeways<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With\nrespect to the key terms of the proposed transaction, the combined company is\nexpected to have an estimated enterprise equity value of $605 million at\nclosing.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As\na further demonstration of their continued commitment to Shapeways, and further\nvalidation of our strategic plan and ability to create value, the current major\nshareholders who participated in past private financing rounds will remain\nequity holders in the combined company after the transaction, and also invest\nin the PIPE. These prominent firms include: Lux Capital, Union Square Ventures,\nAndreessen Horowitz, and INKEF Capital. The PIPE is anchored by leading\nfinancial investors, Miller Value and XN, and Desktop Metal, a publicly listed\nstrategic investor which will help accelerate Shapeways timeline to effectively\nexpand into metals as part of our strategy to add to our materials mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With\nthis capital injection, we plan to invest $100 million in CAPEX over the next\nfive years into new technologies and materials to fuel our growth, overall.&nbsp; Ultimately, our scalable financial model will\nprovide Shapeways with the opportunity to consolidate the highly fragmented\nadditive manufacturing market, capitalize on sizable market opportunities,\ndeliver superior offerings and customer service, and create significant\nshareholder value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On\nbehalf of the Shapeways management team, I would like to thank all of the\nShapeways employees, customers, partners, and investors who have been\ninstrumental in getting Shapeways to this point. Thank you again for joining us\non an amazing journey, and most importantly, sticking with us as we plot a new\npath ahead for the Company and the industry-at-large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We look forward to updating you on our progress.
