Completion of Acquisition of Assets

 

Further to the Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K (the “Form 6-K”) furnished by Stratasys Ltd. (“we,” “us,” “Stratasys” or the “Company”) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 8, 2022, on April 3, 2023 Stratasys completed its acquisition of the additive manufacturing materials business of Covestro Deutschland AG (DAX: 1COV), Covestro (Netherlands) B.V., and certain of their respective subsidiaries (collectively, “Covestro”). The assets that we acquired included R&D facilities and activities, global development and sales teams across Europe, the U.S. and China, a portfolio of approximately 60 additive manufacturing materials, and an IP portfolio comprised of hundreds of patents and pending patents. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement that we entered into on August 5, 2022 with respect to this transaction (the “Covestro asset purchase agreement”), we paid Covestro, at the closing, approximately $42.3 million (43 million Euros) in cash (which is subject to adjustment to reflect the amount of inventory acquired under the Covestro asset purchase agreement, and the accrual with respect to liabilities being assumed under the Covestro asset purchase agreement), as well as 317,505 newly issued Stratasys ordinary shares, par value 0.01 New Israeli Shekels per share (“Stratasys ordinary shares”) as the consideration for the purchased assets. Under the terms of the Covestro asset purchase agreement, Covestro may also earn up to an additional 37 million Euros of consideration, subject to the achievement of specified performance metrics, which will be payable via the issuance of additional Stratasys ordinary shares.
