     Employee Stock Purchase Plan

     On October 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). According to the ESPP, eligible employees may use up to 15% of their salaries to purchase ordinary shares. The price of an ordinary share purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the ordinary share on the beginning of each offering period or on the purchase date. The first offering period commenced on June 1, 2022 and will end on November 30, 2022.

      In accordance with ASC Topic 718, the ESPP is considered compensatory and, as such, results in recognition of stock-based compensation expenses.

c. Rights plan

      On July 24, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) to protect the interests of the Company’s shareholders. Each Right entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase from the Company one Ordinary Share at a price of  $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment, once the Rights become exercisable, and subject to the exercise terms and conditions thereof described in the Rights Agreement. The rights would become exercisable only if an entity, person, or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares in a transaction not approved by the Company’s Board. The Rights Plan has a 364-day term, expiring on July 24, 2023.

    The adoption of the Rights Plan is intended to protect the long-term interests of Stratasys and all Stratasys shareholders. The Rights Plan is designed to reduce the likelihood that any entity, person, or group would gain control of, or significant influence over, Stratasys through the open-market accumulation of the Company’s shares without appropriately compensating all Stratasys shareholders for control. The Rights Plan will encourage anyone seeking to gain a significant interest in Stratasys to negotiate directly with the Board prior to attempting to control or significantly influence the Company. Further to those goals, the Rights may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that acquires 15% or more of the ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01, of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) or any existing holder of 15% or more of the Ordinary Shares who shall acquire any additional Ordinary Shares.

d. Public offering of ordinary shares

During March 2021, the Company completed a public offering of its ordinary shares that raised $218.9 million, net of underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The total number of shares sold by the Company in the public offering was 7,931,034.

       A deferred tax asset in an amount of $1.3 million was recorded in respect of a tax benefit, arising from the underwriting discounts and offering expenses, as an increase to Additional Paid-In Capital.
