Why Stratasys Shares Are Popping Today

Under the revised offer, DDD will acquire Stratasys for $7.50 in cash and 1.5444 newly issued shares of its common share per ordinary share of SSYS. 

The offer also implies a value of around $28 per SSYS share and a total value of about $2 billion, including cost synergies of $100 million.

This combination would result in SSYS shareholders owning ~44% of the combined company and receiving around $540 million in cash.

Along with the revised binding offer, DDD has delivered a signed merger agreement in escrow to SSYS and commits to paying the termination fees, on behalf of SSYS, to Desktop Metal, Inc (NYSE:DM). 

Price Action: SSYS shares are up by 12.6% at $21.60 on the last check Thursday.
