DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to deregister unsold securities of Stratasys Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Registrant”), that were registered on the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-185240) (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 3, 2012, which registered the issuance and sale of a total of up to 4,394,681 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01, of the Registrant (“Ordinary Shares”) that may have potentially been issued or sold by the Registrant to its and/or its subsidiaries’ officers, employees, directors and consultants, consisting of (i) 3,290,916 Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding equity grants under the Stratasys Ltd. Amended and Restated 2004 Omnibus Stock Option and Restricted Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan” or the “Stratasys Ltd. Plan”), and (ii) a total of 1,103,765 Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding equity grants under the Stratasys, Inc. 1998 Incentive Stock Option Plan, Stratasys, Inc. 2000 Incentive Stock Option Plan, Stratasys, Inc. 2002 Long-Term Performance and Incentive Plan and Stratasys, Inc. 2008 Long-Term Performance and Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Stratasys, Inc. Plans”, and together with the Stratasys Ltd. Plan, the “Plans”), respectively.

No Ordinary Shares remain issuable under the Plans as of the current time. The Registrant therefore desires to terminate the offering of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement. Accordingly, the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, in accordance with undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the Ordinary Shares that had been registered but remained unsold at the termination of the offering, removes from registration any and all Ordinary Shares of the Registrant registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
