PROXY STATEMENT FOR 2019 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

to be held on December 31, 2019

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND
THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Why am I receiving these materials?

We have sent you this proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form because the board of directors (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) of Stratasys Ltd. (also referred to as “we”, “us”, the “Company,” “our Company” or “Stratasys”) is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at our 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), to be held at 11:30 a.m., Israel time, on Tuesday, December 31, 2019 at the law offices of Meitar Liquornik Geva Leshem Tal, 16 Abba Hillel Road, 10^th floor, 5250608, Israel.

What items of business will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

(1)	Re-election of each of Elchanan Jaglom, S. Scott Crump, Victor Leventhal, John J. McEleney, Dov Ofer, Ziva Patir, David Reis, Yair Seroussi and Adina Shorr to serve as a director of the Company until the Company’s next annual general meeting of shareholders and until the due election and qualification of his or her successor, or until his or her earlier resignation, replacement or removal.
(2)	Approval of an additional performance-based equity grant of 10,000 restricted share units (RSUs) and an additional cash payment of $200,000, to be paid in equal monthly installments during 2020, for each of Messrs. David Reis (the Vice Chairman of the Board and an Executive Director) and Dov Ofer (a director) in respect of the continuing, additional services being provided by them on the oversight committee of the Board.
(3)	Approval of a $150,000 cash bonus for Mr. S. Scott Crump, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board and Chief Innovation Officer, in respect of (i) his services during the year ended December 31, 2018 and (ii) the continuing, additional services being provided by him on the oversight committee of the Board.
(4)	Reappointment of Kesselman & Kesselman, a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, as the Company’s independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2019 and until the Company’s next annual general meeting of shareholders, and authorization of the Board (upon recommendation of the audit committee of the Board) to fix their remuneration.

1

In addition to the foregoing proposals, at the Annual Meeting, the audited, consolidated financial statements of the Company for the annual period ended December 31, 2018 will be presented to, and considered by, the Company’s shareholders. The shareholders will furthermore transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

Our Board recommends that you vote FOR each of the above-described proposals.

What is the quorum required in order to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

Under the Articles, a quorum is constituted when there are present, in person or by proxy, at least two shareholders who hold, in the aggregate, at least 25% of the voting rights (equivalent to 25% of the outstanding number of ordinary shares, nominal value 0.01 New Israeli Shekels per share (“ordinary shares”)) in our Company as of the record date for the Annual Meeting (November 25, 2019). As of the close of business on November 22, 2019 (the latest practicable date prior to the record date for the Annual Meeting), we had 54,436,883 ordinary shares outstanding. A person holding a proxy may be deemed to be two or more shareholders for purposes of determining a quorum if such person holds the proxy of more than one shareholder. If within one-half hour after the time appointed for the Annual Meeting, a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting will be adjourned to the same day, in the following week, at the same hour and at the same place. At such adjourned meeting, any two or more shareholders present in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum, regardless of the number of ordinary shares held by them.

What are the voting requirements to approve the proposals presented and how are votes counted?

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 each proposal is necessary for the approval of that proposal.

If you provide specific instructions (i.e., mark boxes), your shares will be voted as you instruct. If you are a shareholder of record and sign and return your proxy card without giving specific instructions, your shares will generally be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board. The proxy holders will also vote in their discretion on any other matters that are not listed on the proxy card and that properly come before the Annual Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and do not return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted.

If you hold shares beneficially in “street name”, the result will be different. If you do not return the voting instruction form, your broker may vote your shares in certain circumstances and on certain proposals. Generally, brokers may vote shares they hold for you in their own discretion on the proposal to ratify the selection of an independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 4) and certain other routine matters, if you do not provide them instructions on how to vote. Brokers may not, however, vote your shares in their discretion on any of the other proposals to be addressed at the Annual Meeting.

Where brokers are prohibited from exercising discretionary authority for beneficial owners who have not provided voting instructions (commonly referred to as “broker non-votes”), those shares will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting, but are not considered “present” for the purposes of voting on, and do not impact the outcome of the voting on, the subject proposal(s).

What shares can I vote?

Our only class of stock outstanding is our ordinary shares. Each ordinary share outstanding as of the close of business on the record date, November 25, 2019, is entitled to one vote on all items of business at the Annual Meeting. You may vote all ordinary shares you owned at that time, which may be (a) shares held directly in your name as the shareholder of record or (b) shares held for you as beneficial owner through a broker, trustee or other nominee, such as a bank. As of the close of business on November 22, 2019, there were 54,436,883 ordinary shares outstanding. The closing price of the ordinary shares on November 22, 2019 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this proxy statement), as quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, was US$18.69.

How can I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?

Shares held in your name as the shareholder of record may be voted on a ballot that we will provide to you at the Annual Meeting. Shares held beneficially in street name may be voted on a ballot only if you bring (i) proof that you owned the shares in your brokerage, trustee or nominee account as of the record date (such as a brokerage account statement), and (ii) a legal proxy from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy card or voting instruction form as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

Whether you hold shares directly as a shareholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the Annual Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote by submitting a proxy. If you hold shares beneficially in street name, you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your broker, trustee or nominee on the enclosed voting instruction form, or in the alternative, online (at www.proxyvote.com) or via telephone (by dialing the number indicated on the enclosed voting instruction form). For directions on how to vote, please refer to the instructions below and those on the proxy card or voting instruction form provided to you.

If you are a shareholder of record, you may cast your vote by proxy as follows:

Shareholders of record may vote by completing, signing, dating and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed, postage paid envelope. If you lose or misplace your proxy card, you may print a copy of the proxy card from our website at www.stratasys.com or from Exhibit 99.2 to the Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K (“Form 6-K”) that we furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 27, 2019, which can be located at www.sec.gov. You can submit your printed, completed, signed proxy card to our Vice President, Investor Relations at Yonah.Lloyd@stratasys.com. When you fill out the proxy card, please print the name in which your ordinary shares are registered. We reserve the right to require further identifying information from you in order to allow you to submit your proxy card in that manner.

If you are a beneficial shareholder, you may submit your voting instructions as follows:

Beneficial owners who hold ordinary shares in “street name” can instruct their brokers, trustees or nominees how to vote by completing the enclosed voting instruction form and mailing it in the accompanying pre-addressed, postage paid envelope.

In the alternative, a beneficial owner can vote online (at www.proxyvote.com) or via telephone, by dialing the number provided to you in the enclosed voting instruction form and following the instructions over the phone. Please have the control number that appears on your physical voting instruction form ready for inputting when you vote online or via telephone.

Can I change my vote?

If you are a shareholder of record and have submitted a proxy card, you can change your vote by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked, unless you vote again. You may also revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by sending a written and dated notice of revocation or by submitting a signed proxy bearing a later date, in either case, to Stratasys Ltd., c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717 or to our Vice President, Investor Relations at Yonah.Lloyd@stratasys.com. Broadridge or our Vice President, Investor Relations must receive any such revocation of proxy by 11:59 a.m., U.S. Eastern Time, on December 30, 2019, for it to be effective.

3

If your shares are held in street name or by a broker, trustee or nominee, you may change your vote by following the instructions provided to you by your broker, trustee or nominee. If you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, trustee or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, you can change your vote by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?

Other than the proposals described in this proxy statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you sign and submit a proxy card, the persons named as proxy holders, Ms. Lilach Payorski, Mr. David Chertok and Mr. Jonathan M. Nathan, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting in accordance with their best judgment.

Who will count the votes?

A representative of Stratasys Ltd. will act as the inspector of election to tabulate the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

Who will pay the costs of soliciting votes for the Annual Meeting?

We are making this solicitation and will pay the entire cost of preparing, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes with respect to the Annual Meeting. In addition to the mailing of these proxy materials, the solicitation of proxies may be made in person, by telephone or by electronic communication by certain of our directors, officers and other employees, who will not receive any additional compensation for such activities. We will also reimburse brokerage firms, banks, and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of our ordinary shares.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS

The following table sets forth the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by each person known by us to be the owner of more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares, as of November 22, 2019, unless otherwise noted.

The number and percentage of ordinary shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Information concerning shareholders who beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares is based on periodic public filings made by such shareholders (including reports filed by institutional investment managers on Form 13F for the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2019) and may not necessarily be accurate as of November 22, 2019. Ordinary shares that a person has a right to acquire within 60 days after November 22, 2019 (or such other date indicated below) are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. We have based our calculations of the percentage ownership on 54,436,883 ordinary shares that were outstanding as of November 22, 2019.

PROPOSAL 1:
RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Background

Article 75.1 of our Amended Articles provides that the number of directors of our Company shall be between seven (7) and eleven (11), as determined from time to time by our Board. On November 20, 2019, pursuant to its nomination of the below-listed individuals for re-election at the Annual Meeting, our Board effectively confirmed the number of directors prospectively constituting the Board as nine (9). Back in May 2016, following our 2016 annual general meeting of shareholders, we elected to be governed by an exemption under the Companies Law regulations that allows us to “opt out” from appointing external directors and from complying with the Companies Law requirements related to the composition of the audit committee and compensation committee of our Board. Our eligibility for that exemption is subject to certain conditions, with which we comply. Since the time of that election, each of our directors is elected annually, at our annual general meeting of shareholders, for a one-year term. Our Board has nominated Mr. Elchanan Jaglom, Mr. S. Scott Crump, Mr. Victor Leventhal, Mr. John J. McEleney, Mr. Dov Ofer, Ms. Ziva Patir, Mr. David Reis, Mr. Yair Seroussi and Ms. Adina Shorr, each of whom is an existing director, for reelection, to serve as a director until our next annual general meeting of shareholders and until the due election and qualification of his or her successor, or until his or her earlier resignation, replacement or removal.

Of our existing directors who have been nominated for reelection at the Annual Meeting, each of Messrs. Jaglom, Crump, Leventhal and McEleney has served as a director of our Company from the effective date of the merger between Stratasys, Inc. and Objet Ltd. on December 1, 2012, until the present time. Ms. Patir has served as a director of our Company since June 21, 2013, and Mr. Reis has served as a director of our Company since June 30, 2013 (in addition to his having served as Objet Ltd.’s director from 2003 until the effective date of the Stratasys-Objet merger). Each of Messrs. Ofer and Seroussi was initially elected as a director at our 2017 annual general meeting of shareholders, on July 18, 2017. Ms. Adina Shorr has served in her current capacity as a director since having been appointed by the Board on July 25, 2018 and was re-elected at our 2018 annual general meeting of shareholders on September 13, 2018 (after having served previously as a director of our Company from December 2012 to June 2013).

The following table sets forth information, as of the date of this proxy statement, regarding the individuals nominated by the Board on November 20, 2019 for re-election at the Annual Meeting:

Name	Age	Position
Elchanan Jaglom	78	Chairman of the Board of Directors and Interim CEO
S. Scott Crump	66	Chairman of the Executive Committee, Director and Chief Innovation Officer
Victor Leventhal	75	Director
John J. McEleney	57	Director
Dov Ofer	65	Director
Ziva Patir	69	Director
David Reis	58	Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and Executive Director
Yair Seroussi	63	Director
Adina Shorr	59	Director

Board Independence

Each of Messrs. Leventhal, McEleney and Seroussi, and each of Mses. Patir and Shorr, has been affirmatively determined by the Board to be an independent director, as defined under the Listing Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. Consequently, we comply with the requirement of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) that a majority of our Board be composed of independent directors.

PROPOSAL 2:
APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCE-BASED EQUITY GRANT AND ADDITIONAL CASH
PAYMENT TO TWO DIRECTORS SERVING ON BOARD OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE

Background

Under the Companies Law, any public Israeli company that seeks to approve the terms of compensation of its directors is generally required to obtain the approval of its compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders, in that order.

As described in the “Background” to Proposal 3 in the proxy statement for our 2018 annual general meeting of shareholders (which originally appeared as Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on August 8, 2018 (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1517396/000120677418002353/stratasys3352019-ex991.htm), and which was modified in our Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on September 25, 2018 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1517396/000120677418002838/stratasys33520111-6k.htm), each of Messrs. David Reis and Dov Ofer— two directors with a significant amount of public company, executive-level experience— was requested, and agreed, to serve on the oversight committee of our Board, commencing on June 1, 2018. The valuable experience of Messrs. Reis and Ofer is reflected, in part, in their respective biographical information, as described in Proposal 1 above.

The oversight committee has been providing significant support to Mr. Elchanan Jaglom, our interim CEO, in the day-to-day management of our Company following the resignation of our previous CEO. Those managerial support services have required a commitment of time and effort from these directors that are significantly greater than those demanded of an ordinary non-employee director, in the case of Mr. Ofer, and more than what is expected of an Executive Director, in the case of Mr. Reis. Each of Messrs. Reis and Ofer has been leveraging his experience towards his service on this Board committee to ensure that our Company remains on its charted course despite the loss of our previous CEO. Mr. Reis’ responsibilities on the oversight committee have focused upon our sales and marketing activities. Mr. Ofer’s responsibilities on the committee primarily relate to all of our operations and finance activities, as well as business development activities.

At our 2018 annual general meeting of shareholders, our shareholders approved additional cash compensation for Mr. Ofer ($15,000 per month) and a one-time equity grant to each of Messrs. Reis and Ofer in respect of their services on the oversight committee of the Board, which grant was divided into options to purchase ordinary shares and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The options and RSUs were characterized by time-based (2/3 of the grant) and performance-based (1/3 of the grant) vesting terms. The further terms of that grant were described in the above-linked Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on September 25, 2018.

We note that the additional compensation referred to in the previous paragraph was intended to cover a finite period of time during which the additional services of Messrs. Reis and Ofer were expected to be needed—specifically, the second half of 2018 and the first half of 2019. However, as of the date of the upcoming Annual Meeting, Messrs. Reis’ and Ofer’s management support roles as members of the oversight committee of our Board have extended beyond that time, for over one and one-half years, including the second half of 2019, for which they have not received any equity compensation in respect of that service.

We furthermore expect that we will need those additional services from Messrs. Reis and Ofer during 2020 as well, as we will need Messrs. Reis and Ofer to be involved in the transitioning of roles and responsibilities to the individual to be retained as the new, permanent CEO. While we have been diligently seeking a permanent successor CEO since Mr. Ilan Levin resigned, we cannot predict with certainty as to how long it will take for that search to be completed and for us to hire a suitable, permanent replacement CEO.

In order to properly continue to incentivize Messrs. Reis and Ofer in respect of their significant contributions, but while also carefully ensuring that the additional compensation package taken as whole is justified based on our future performance, our compensation committee obtained the advice of Semler Brossy Consulting Group LLP, a nationally recognized executive compensation advisory firm. Based on that advice, and in recognition of the relevant, high-level talent and experience that Messrs. Reis and Ofer bring to the oversight committee of the Board and their efforts to date (including without having been granted any performance-based equity grants in respect of the second half of 2019) and their expected efforts going forward, our compensation committee and our Board (without the participation or vote of either of Mr. Reis or Mr. Ofer) have approved, in respect of the continuing additional services of Messrs. Reis and Ofer, additional, one-time equity compensation that is entirely performance-based, as well as an additional one-time grant of cash compensation. The proposed additional compensation is described immediately below:

12

(i) Performance-Based RSU Grant: 10,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), each representing one ordinary share. The RSUs, in their entirety, will be subject to performance-based vesting terms, and will vest upon, and subject to, the achievement by our Company of revenue growth of at least 5% for the full 2020 calendar year relative to the full 2019 calendar year. In other words, our revenues for 2020 must equal or exceed 105% of our revenues in 2019 in order for the 10,000 new RSUs to vest (the determination of revenues shall be based on our 2019 and 2020 audited financial statements, respectively); and

(ii) One-Time Cash Compensation Grant: Each of Messrs. Reis and Ofer will be entitled to a one-time cash grant of $200,000, to be paid in twelve equal monthly installments over the course of 2020.

If the above one-time compensation is approved, the RSUs will be subject to the terms of our 2012 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) with respect to a resignation by a director from the Board (i.e., resignation will be deemed a failure of the performance-based condition). However, given the mandate provided to Messrs. Reis and Ofer by the Board and in order to enable each of those directors the opportunity to earn the performance-based RSU grant for their respective efforts, the full number of RSUs granted to each of the two directors will vest, if the performance-based vesting condition has been met, even if the term of office of that director is not extended by our Board or by any general meetings of our shareholders (other than the upcoming 2019 Annual Meeting), as the case may be.

In approving this additional one-time performance-based equity grant and one-time cash compensation for Messrs. Reis and Ofer, our compensation committee and Board have considered the objectives enumerated in our updated, amended Stratasys Ltd. Compensation Policy for Executive Officers and Directors (the “Compensation Policy”), which our shareholders approved pursuant to Proposal 5 at our 2018 annual general meeting of shareholders. The compensation committee and Board have further considered the particular credentials and experience, and contribution level, of those directors. The compensation committee and Board have determined that the proposed additional one-time performance-based equity grant and one-time cash compensation described above are both (a) consistent with the Compensation Policy and (b) appropriate for Board members such as Messrs. Reis and Ofer with significant public company, executive-level experience and knowledge of our industry, who have continued, for an extended period of time, their enhanced time commitment to our Company via their service on the oversight committee of the Board and the expected transitional support that they will be expected to render to the new permanent CEO to be retained.

The proposed equity compensation and cash compensation to which Messrs. Reis and Ofer would be entitled pursuant to this Proposal 2 would be in addition to the existing compensation packages previously approved for them by our shareholders. In the case of Mr. Reis, that package (excluding the one-time equity grant that was approved for him at our 2018 annual general meeting of shareholders) consists of $232,800 (not including VAT, which is due on fees payable to Mr. Reis) for Mr. Reis’ services as a Board member, including in his role as Vice Chairman of the Board, as well NIS 324,000 (approximately $88,428) for his services as our Executive Director, plus other benefits that are provided for by Israeli law or that are customary for senior executives in Israel, including the right to use (and all related fixed and variable costs in respect of) a leased car.

In the case of Mr. Ofer, the compensation to which he is already entitled as a non-employee director (excluding the one-time equity grant and additional monthly cash compensation of $15,000 approved at our annual general shareholder meeting in October 2018 for his service on the oversight committee) consists of US$50,000 of annual cash fees, , annual equity grants of options to purchase 10,000 ordinary shares, Board committee annual fees of US$2,500 for each committee on which he serves, and fees per meeting (US$1,500 per in-person meeting, US$375 per telephonic or video link meeting, and US$325 per written consent).

13

Proposed Resolution

We are proposing the adoption by our shareholders of the following resolution pursuant to Proposal 2 at the Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the additional one-time grant by the Company of (i) 10,000 RSUs that will vest subject to the fulfillment of a performance-based condition (revenue growth of at least 5% for the full 2020 calendar year relative to the full 2019 calendar year), and (ii) $200,000 of cash, to be paid in 12 equal monthly installments over the course of 2020, to each of Messrs. David Reis and Dov Ofer, in respect of his ongoing, continued services on the oversight committee of the Board of Directors, as described in Proposal 2 of the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, be, and hereby is, approved in all respects, subject to the re-election of Messrs. Reis and Ofer pursuant to Proposal 1 at the Annual Meeting.

Required Vote

The approval of the additional, performance-based RSUs grant and cash grant pursuant to this Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of shareholders present in person or by proxy and holding ordinary shares representing a majority of the votes cast with respect to the proposal (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes).

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that the shareholders vote FOR approval of the foregoing resolution approving an additional, one-time, performance-based RSUs grant and cash grant for each of Messrs. David Reis and Dov Ofer.

PROPOSAL 3:
APPROVAL OF BONUS FOR CHAIRMAN OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF BOARD AND CHIEF
INNOVATION OFFICER FOR (I) YEAR 2018 SERVICES AND (II) BOARD OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
SERVICES

Background

As noted at the start of the “Background” to Proposal 2, under the Companies Law, any public Israeli company that seeks to approve the terms of compensation of its directors is generally required to obtain the approval of its compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders, in that order.

In 2018, the compensation committee of our Board and our Board (in each case, without the participation of Mr. S. Scott Crump, the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board and our Chief Innovation Officer) established specific goals for Mr. Crump to achieve during that year. In recognition of the fact that Mr. Crump met certain of those goals and in light of his other significant contributions to our Company as Chief Innovation Officer, including in his active role on the oversight committee of the Board supporting our interim CEO (as described below), the compensation committee and our Board have determined that a cash bonus of $150,000 should be paid to Mr. Crump (the “CIO Bonus”).

In approving the CIO Bonus, the compensation committee and the Board took into consideration Mr. Crump’s having helped to further our leadership position and his involvement in helping to further develop our strategy to deepen our focus on additive technology solutions for specific vertical markets, including our industry partnerships with leading manufacturers in various key vertical markets, such as automotive and aerospace. They also considered Mr. Crump’s continued service on the oversight committee of the Board, through which he has been providing support to Mr. Elchanan Jaglom, our interim CEO, in the day-to-day management of our Company since the resignation of our former CEO, effective as of June 1, 2018. Mr. Crump’s background (as described in the biographical information in the “Background” to Proposal 1) makes him highly knowledgeable of our Company, and his executive-level experience at our Company (including as Chairman of the Board from the Stratasys-Objet merger until February 2015, and as Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer and a director of Stratasys, Inc. from its inception in 1988 until the Stratasys-Objet merger) has rendered him ideally suited to assist in the capacity of a member of the oversight committee of the Board.

Mr. Crump’s responsibilities on the oversight committee involve the supervision of all of our research and development activities. We believe that Mr. Crump is a key opinion leader in the 3D printing industry, and his oversight of our research and development activities has been, and continues to be, critical during this period. The extra commitment on the part of Mr. Crump to serve on the oversight committee has required extra investments of time and effort, for which our compensation committee and Board have determined that Mr. Crump should be duly compensated.

14

In approving the bonus for Mr. Crump, the compensation committee and the Board also considered the objectives enumerated in the Compensation Policy. They determined that the proposed bonus is (i) consistent with those objectives and with the Compensation Policy generally, (ii) appropriate for an executive with Mr. Crump’s experience level and credentials, and (iii) well within market standards.

The proposed $150,000 cash bonus to which Mr. Crump would be entitled pursuant to this Proposal 3 would be in addition to the usual compensation package to which Mr. Crump is otherwise entitled on an annual basis, as previously approved by our shareholders and as disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report, consisting of $262,854 in cash, which constitutes the aggregate salary payable to Mr. Crump for all of the services that he provides to our Company, including in respect of his roles as Chairman of the Executive Committee and Chief Innovation Officer.

Proposed Resolution

We are proposing the adoption by our shareholders of the following resolution pursuant to Proposal 3 at the Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the proposed cash bonus of $150,000 for Mr. S. Scott Crump, the Chairman of the Executive Committee, and a member of the oversight committee, of the Board, and the Chief Innovation Officer of the Company, as described in Proposal 3 of the proxy statement with respect to the Annual Meeting, be, and hereby is, approved in all respects.

Required Vote

The approval of Mr. Scott Crump’s bonus pursuant to this Proposal 3 requires the affirmative vote of shareholders present in person or by proxy and holding ordinary shares representing a majority of the votes cast with respect to this proposal (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes).

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that the shareholders vote FOR approval of the foregoing resolution approving the cash bonus for Mr. Scott Crump.

PROPOSAL 4:
REAPPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Background

At the Annual Meeting, and upon the recommendation of the audit committee of the Board, our shareholders will be asked to approve the reappointment of Kesselman & Kesselman, a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited (the “Auditors”), to continue to serve as our independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2019 and until our next annual general meeting of shareholders, and to authorize our Board (upon recommendation of the audit committee of the Board) to fix their remuneration.
