The presence in person or by proxy of two or more shareholders possessing at least a majority of Stratasys’ voting rights will constitute a quorum at the Meeting.  In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the scheduled time for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned for a week and will be held on Thursday, July 17, 2014 at the same time and place. At such adjourned meeting, the presence of at least two shareholders in person or by proxy (regardless of the voting power possessed by their shares) will constitute a quorum. The vote of all Stratasys shareholders is important regardless of whether they attend the Meeting.  Accordingly, the Company asks all shareholders to participate and vote regardless of the number of ordinary shares they own.

 

Approval of each proposed action above requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on the proposal (excluding abstentions). The approval of Proposal No. 2 is also subject to satisfaction of one of the following, additional voting requirements:

 

·                                the majority voted in favor of the proposal must include a majority of the shares held by shareholders who are neither controlling shareholders nor in possession of a personal interest in the approval of the proposal that are voted at the meeting, excluding abstentions; or

 

·                                the total number of shares held by non-controlling, disinterested shareholders (as described in the previous bullet-point) voted against the proposal must not exceed 2% of the aggregate voting power in our Company.

 

Stratasys will soon provide to its shareholders a proxy statement describing, in detail, additional logistical information related to the Meeting, the proposals to be voted upon at the Meeting, the procedure for voting in person or by proxy at the Meeting and various other information related to the Meeting (including further information related to the required vote for approval of each proposal).
