Forward - Looking Statements Certain statements made in this document that are not statements of historical or current facts are forward - looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward - looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the company to be materially different from historical results or from any future results or projections expressed or implied by such forward - looking statements. In many cases, forward - looking statements can be identified by terms such as “believes,” “belief,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “estimates,” “intends,” “anticipates” or “plans” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward - looking statements are based upon management’s beliefs, assumptions and current expectations and may include comments as to the company’s beliefs and expectations as to future events and trends affecting its business and are necessarily subject to uncertainties, many of which are outside the control of the company. The factors described under the headings “Forward - Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other factors, could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected or predicted in forward - looking statements. In particular, we note that there is no assurance that a definitive agreement for the transaction referenced in this document will be entered into or consummated or that integration will be successful or synergies will be realized if such transaction were to be consummated. Business combination proposals, transactions and integrations are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in the forward - looking statements are reasonable, forward - looking statements are not, and should not be relied upon as a guarantee of future performance or results, nor will they necessarily prove to be accurate indications of the times at which such performance or results will be achieved. The forward - looking statements included are made only as of the date of the statement. 3D Systems undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward - looking statements made by management or on its behalf, whether as a result of future developments, subsequent events or circumstances, or otherwise, except as required by law. 2

Clearly Superior Proposal 20
“We believe this combination (SSYS and DM) would never have transpired without the outside pressure from Nano and now the clean, profitable growth story behind SSYS gets diluted down with the unprofitable business of DM.” “The proposed stock - for - stock transaction structure contradicts Stratasys’ claim that Stratasys’ stock is undervalued . By using its ordinary shares as consideration, cash - generating Stratasys would be paying a premium price to acquire underperforming Desktop Metal…” “It feels like I want to be more excited about the acquisition, but those numbers aren't - - they're not that promising on the surface. (…) it feels like Stratasys is acquiring a company that needed a lifeline .” “As a significant individual shareholder of Stratasys, I find myself perplexed by the decision to accept what appears to be a significant dilution of shares due to the deal with Desktop Metal . While I acknowledge that M&A transactions are often complex, and their potential benefits may not be immediately apparent, I find myself questioning the rationale behind this move given the track record of Desktop Metal and the potential impacts on Stratasys shareholders . Communication is a key principle in effective corporate governance. I feel it would be beneficial for Stratasys's management to engage with its shareholders , particularly those of us who have a substantial investment in the company.” - Chris Prucha, Co - Founder of Origin (acq. by Stratasys) and Stratasys Shareholder “Stratasys to Acquire Desktop Metal; Our Initial Take: Could Be a Mistake” Skepticism Around the Merits of a Stratasys + Desktop Metal Combination 21 Source: Wall Street Research ; LinkedIn
