Executive Summary 4


Proposed Transaction Summary • Consideration of $7.00 in cash and 1.6387 shares of 3D Systems common stock per Stratasys ordinary share 1 • 3D Systems believes this offer is worth more than $27 per share, inclusive of synergies Consideration • Election mechanism offers Stratasys shareholders the right to elect form of consideration, subject to proration mechanics • Approximately 46% implied pro forma ownership for Stratasys shareholders on a fully-diluted basis, which increased from Implied Ownership 44% pro forma ownership and 41% pro forma ownership, as per 3D Systems’ most recent prior proposals • Signed agreement in escrow available to be countersigned by Stratasys • Terms at least as favorable to Stratasys as Desktop Metal transaction • Right of Stratasys to terminate to accept a superior proposal Transaction Terms • Advantageous tax and capital markets structure permits Stratasys shareholders to receive, generally on a tax-free basis, shares of a Delaware-incorporated, domestic SEC registrant • 3D Systems to pay the termination fee of the Stratasys – Desktop Metal deal • No financing contingency – financed entirely by cash on combined balance sheet • No CFIUS or ITAR closing conditions Deal Certainty • 3D Systems to pay a $50M termination fee if the transaction fails to close due to a failure to obtain antitrust approvals. 2 • Significant near-term cost synergies of at least $110M Synergies 1 Source: Factset, Company Filings, Press Releases; market data as of 12-Sept-2023. | Calculated as market value of latest 3D Systems proposal as of September 6th, 2023 adding capitalized value of synergies per Stratasys share. Capitalized value of synergies per Stratasys share equals: $110 million in cost synergies, as estimated by 3D Systems (noting that Stratasys has now publicly confirmed $74-$88 million of cost synergies for a combination with 3D Systems), multiplied by 15x, multiplied by 46% Stratasys ownership in pro forma entity, 5 2 divided by 72.8mm Stratasys fully diluted shares outstanding. Stratasys’ own view of synergies in a 3D Systems transaction of $74M to $88M is materially in excess of synergies with Desktop Metal

The Market Continues to Speak Stratasys Three-Day Share Price “We do not believe that the Board can reject the obvious any longer: a 3D Reaction Post-Announcement Systems transaction is significantly more compelling than the current alternatives and warrants immediate engagement.” - The Donerail Group 14.1% 10.6% 8.7% “As the largest shareholder of Stratasys, Nano Dimension intends to support a review of strategic 2.5% alternatives to further enhance shareholder value, including through industry consolidation, possibly through a negotiated combination with -1.5% Second Public Third Public Offer 3D Systems…” Tender Offer First Public Offer Merger Announcement Announcement Confirmation Offer Confirmation (July 13, 2023) (May 25, 2023) (March 9, 2023) (June 2, 2023) (June 27, 2023) Source: Factset, press releases 7


Stratasys' Process Seemed Designed For One Outcome Since 2021 began, 3D Systems has continually reached out to Stratasys about a potential combination Almost every time, Stratasys refused to hold discussions with 3D Systems Stratasys only engaged with 3D Systems when facing a proxy contest from Nano Dimension In its July 17 presentation regarding the proxy contest, Stratasys claimed a key reason to vote for its directors was that “Nano could block SSYS’ ability to engage in discussions with 3D Systems or any other value maximizing transactions for the SSYS shareholders” Stratasys engaged almost immediately with Desktop Metal, on two separate occasions Why are Stratasys’ board and management so focused on one possible outcome? It smells of entrenchment All of our offers, at the time, have been superior to the alternative DM deal Was Stratasys’ board truly open to a merger with 3D Systems? Or was its engagement with us insincere, so that they could tell shareholders, “We tried”? Source: Stratasys and Desktop Metal Combination Conference Call and Webcast on 25 May 2023. 8

Scale Drives Greater Profitability “The problem of this industry (…) no one has scale. So we want to scale. We want an inflection point. We want to be in manufacturing, but at the same time, we don't have the scale to do it. It's all about scale. And we can, as an industry, wait for this scale, but we need the power around in order to be able really to scale.” - Yoav Zeif, Stratasys, CEO “Scale is the most important thing in reaching a high level of profitability.” - Ric Fulop, Desktop Metal, CEO Source: Stratasys and Desktop Metal Combination Conference Call and Webcast on 25 May 2023. 20
