Urges Shareholders NOT to Tender into Nano’s Coercive Partial Tender Offer, to Withdraw Any Shares Previously Tendered AND to Contact Their Broker and Instruct Them to File a Notice of Objection

Urges Shareholders to Vote on the WHITE Proxy Card “FOR” the Re-Election of the Stratasys Slate of Directors

MINNEAPOLIS & REHOVOT, Israel — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 18, 2023 — Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS) (the “Company”), a leader in polymer 3D printing solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”), after consultation with its independent financial and legal advisors, unanimously determined that the revised partial tender offer announced by Nano Dimension Ltd. (Nasdaq: NNDM) (“Nano”) on July 18, 2023 to acquire ordinary shares of Stratasys for $25.00 per share in cash is misleading, illusory, continues to significantly undervalue the Company as a whole and is NOT in the best interests of all Stratasys shareholders.

The Stratasys Board Urges Shareholders NOT TO TENDER Their Shares, to Withdraw Any Shares That Have Already Been Tendered, AND to File a Notice of Objection

The Stratasys Board reminds shareholders of the facts:

• Partial tender offers by nature can be extremely misleading and value-destructive to shareholders, and Nano’s partial tender means Stratasys shareholders who tender their shares may have as few as approximately 40% of their shares purchased, assuming full participation in the offer. Therefore, shareholders risk becoming a minority shareholder in a Nano-controlled company by tendering into Nano’s partial tender offer.

• The partial tender offer implies a blended value of approximately $16 to $19 per share or less¹, assuming full participation in the offer, given that Stratasys being controlled by Nano is likely to lead to Stratasys shareholders’ remaining shares trading at a heavily discounted level, which could be approximately $9 to $15 per share or less².

• Nano has a track record of value destruction and trades at negative firm value under Nano CEO Yoav Stern’s leadership. In addition to Yoav Stern’s misleading claims about Stratasys, he is not qualified to manage Stratasys. Since Yoav Stern’s appointment, Nano has spent more than $500 million in cash and increased its revenue by only $44 million.

• If the partial tender offer is successful, Nano and Yoav Stern may not be incentivized to act in the best interest of minority shareholders of Stratasys, and Nano could block any future transaction that might maximize value for Stratasys and its minority shareholders.

To deliver a Notice of Objection, CONTACT YOUR BROKER and instruct them to deliver a Notice of Objection on your behalf. If you have already tendered your shares, you can still withdraw them.

Stratasys has received feedback from many shareholders and brokers that the unfair, coercive offer process constructed by Nano makes it difficult and confusing for shareholders that own Stratasys shares beneficially (as do a vast majority of Stratasys shareholders) to file a Notice of Objection. Stratasys has informed Nano, its tender offer agents and the Israeli courts that this process must be fixed so it is equally as accessible and easy for a beneficial owner of Stratasys shares to file a Notice of Objection as it is to tender shares into Nano’s partial tender offer.

Stratasys 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

In addition, in connection with Stratasys’ 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on August 8, 2023, Nano has nominated an unqualified slate of director candidates as part of its campaign to acquire control of Stratasys. In addition, Nano’s slate of director candidates has presided over serious corporate governance failings and value destruction.

On the contrary, Stratasys’ slate of director candidates is highly qualified, truly independent and purpose-built. Stratasys’ Board is highly focused on maximizing shareholder value and engages with multiple industry participants for the benefit of all Stratasys shareholders.

The Stratasys Board unanimously recommends that Stratasys shareholders vote on the WHITE proxy card “FOR” the re-election of the Stratasys Slate, consisting of the eight highly qualified current members of Stratasys’ Board.
