**Public Company Information:** NASDAQ: ADSK **SAN FRANCISCO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—** Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK), a global leader in design and engineering software, has announced an agreement to acquire netfabb, a renowned developer of software solutions for industrial additive design and manufacturing based in Lüdenscheid, Germany. Additionally, Autodesk will make a strategic investment in FIT Technology Group, the parent company of netfabb, which specializes in additive manufacturing software and services. This collaboration aims to boost the adoption of advanced technologies within the industrial 3D Printing sector. The transaction is expected to close during Autodesk's fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 and will be funded using foreign capital. Specific terms of the deal remain undisclosed. Samir Hanna, Autodesk’s Vice President and General Manager for Consumer & 3D Printing, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition: “We’ve long admired FIT’s achievements in overcoming the complexities of industrial additive manufacturing. Together, we’ll drive innovation and redefine how products are made. We’re thrilled to welcome the netfabb team aboard and help creators worldwide transition from prototyping to producing high-quality parts at scale.” Currently, over 80,000 professionals across the globe rely on netfabb solutions throughout their 3D printing workflows. Following the acquisition, Autodesk intends to preserve and enhance this vibrant user base while integrating netfabb’s tools into its broader suite of product design and additive manufacturing platforms, such as Autodesk Fusion 360 and the Spark 3D printing ecosystem. Carl Fruth, CEO of FIT AG, echoed these sentiments: “Autodesk aligns perfectly with our vision of advancing industrial additive manufacturing. We’re excited to partner with them and confident that netfabb will flourish under Autodesk’s leadership.” **Business Outlook:** This acquisition is anticipated to have no bearing on Autodesk’s previously issued guidance from August 27, 2015. **Safe Harbor Statement:** This announcement includes forward-looking statements subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements cover aspects like the impact of the acquisition on Autodesk’s prior guidance, business performance, product offerings, and customer relationships.
