On July 24, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Stratasys Ltd. (“Stratasys” or the “Company”) approved the issuance of one special purchase right (a “Right”) for each ordinary share, par value 0.01 New Israeli Shekels per share, of the Company outstanding at the close of business on August 4, 2022, to the shareholders of record on that date, and adopted a shareholder rights plan, as set forth in the Rights Agreement dated as of July 25, 2022 (the “Rights Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent.

On May 25, 2023, in connection with the Company’s entry into an agreement with Desktop Metal, Inc. (“Desktop Metal”) pursuant to which the Company and Desktop Metal would have combined in an all-stock merger (the “Desktop Metal Merger Agreement”), the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Rights Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Under the First Amendment, the expiration date of the Rights Agreement was extended to the later of (a) July 24, 2023 and (b) the conclusion of the Sun Shareholders’ Meeting (as defined in the Desktop Metal Merger Agreement) (unless such Sun Shareholders’ Meeting has been validly adjourned or postponed, in which case at the final adjournment or postponement thereof) or such time as the Desktop Metal Merger Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms.

On September 28, 2023, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Rights Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). Under the Second Amendment, which was unanimously approved by the Board, the expiration date of the Rights Agreement was extended to December 31, 2023.

The Rights are in all respects subject to and governed by the provisions of the Rights Agreement, which was included as an exhibit in the Company’s Form 8-A filing, dated July 25, 2022, as amended, and the Second Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
