Lawyer Queen Emmanuel filed a lawsuit against a three -dimensional printing company listed, claiming that it had been changed on $ 30 million fees to win a legal battle due to a troubled integration.

Queen The desktop minerals of 3D printing in a battle in the Dilayer Court to complete its acquisition of $ 183 million by the larger Dimense Nano. The judge ordered the deal that was completed in March, but Queen’s salaries have not yet been paid, and now claim that she owes 90 million dollars by Nano as a mixture company.

“Nano and its CEO, Oreer Bahrav, the newly acquired weapon on the Metal desktop, INC., has completely retaliated by the lawyers who defeated them – Queen Emmanuel.”

Disputes in the disputed M & a Transactions are not uncommon. Although Elon Musk reluctantly agreed to complete the Twitter purchase of $ 44 billion in 2022, it is still competing for a $ 90 million fee that was paid to Wachtell, LIPUTON and Rosen & Katz, which represented the social network in litigation on the deal (Queen was MUSK Law firm in this issue). More than a decade ago, Karl Ekan has also sought to cancel the fees owed to Wachtell after he had controlled the CVR Energy, which was rented to defend it against Raider.

Nano and Coin Emmanuel rejected the comment. The QUINN case news was reported earlier by Law360.

Nano’s board of directors approved the deal with the desktop metal in mid -2014. After a short period, the Canadian hedge fund Murcinson, the second largest shareholder in Nano, won the seats of the Board of Directors and argued that the deal was expensive.

Meanwhile, the desktop metal became concerned that Nano will not try to obtain a necessary organizational approval. Queen rented to follow the Dilayer suit. Quinn said that the matter succeeded “day and night” in a three -month case, as he appointed 27 lawyers for this issue. The company provided a discount on the desktop with a 50 percent discount on its regular prices, but it said that its customer will owe it 120 percent of that if the acquisition is closed at the end.

Queen said he feared their salaries, and the expected Nano will put the desktop in Chapter 11 of bankruptcy.

“Although there are more than $ 845 million in cash and cash rewards, NANO has selectively provided funding to the desktop to pay other creditors while specifically directed desktop metal to pay Queen Emmanuel.” “At the same time, the defendant launched the so-called” strategic review “-a veiled veiled process to strip the desktop metal of valuable assets before the inevitable bankruptcy file will leave Queen Emmanuel and other hereditary creditors.
