Item 1.01 Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On March 3, 2014, The ExOne Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary ExOne Americas LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ExOne Americas”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among ExOne Americas, Machin-A-Mation Corporation, Metal Links, LLC and Mr. William R. Dega (the “Machin-A-Mation Asset Purchase Agreement”) to acquire (i) substantially all the assets of Machin-A-Mation Corporation (“Machin-A-Mation”), a specialty machine shop located in Chesterfield, Michigan, and (ii) the real property on which Machin-A-Mation’s business is located from Metal Links, LLC (“Metal Links”), a Michigan limited liability company, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.0 million (the “Machin-A-Mation Acquisition”). The closing took place simultaneously upon execution of the Machin-A-Mation Asset Purchase Agreement on March 3, 2014. Machin-A-Mation’s business will remain in its current Chesterfield, Michigan location, complementing the Company’s nearby production service center (“PSC”) in Troy, Michigan, where the Company focuses on advanced 3D printed cores and molds for the aerospace and shipbuilding industries.

On March 6, 2014, ExOne GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired all of the shares of MWT - Gesellschaft für Industrielle Mikrowellentechnik mbH (“MWT”), a pioneer in industrial-grade microwaves based in Elz, Germany, for approximately $4.8 million pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Assignment Contract between Reinhard Schulze and ExOne GmbH (the “MWT Share Purchase Agreement”). The closing took place simultaneously upon execution of the agreement on March 6, 2014. MWT’s microwave operation will be operationally integrated with the Company’s Augsburg, Germany manufacturing operations.

To fund the Machin-A-Mation and the MWT Acquisitions, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from its secondary offering of common stock that was completed on September 13, 2013.

The descriptions set forth above regarding the Machin-A-Mation Asset Purchase Agreement and the MWT Share Purchase Agreement are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Machin-A-Mation Asset Purchase Agreement and the MWT Share Purchase Agreement, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 2.2, respectively, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Machin-A-Mation Asset Purchase Agreement and the MWT Share Purchase Agreement are made solely for purposes of those agreements and are made as of specific dates; are solely for the benefit of the parties; may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Machin-A-Mation Asset Purchase Agreement and the MWT Share Purchase Agreement, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties instead of establishing matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or security holders. Investors and security holders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of The ExOne Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or the assets sold. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Machin-A-Mation Asset Purchase Agreement and the MWT Share Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 6, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing the acquisition of MAM and MWT. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
