IN AN OFFER BEING CONDUCTED IN THE UNITED STATES

THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 11:59 P.M., NEW YORK TIME, ON JULY 31, 2023, UNLESS THE OFFER IS FURTHER EXTENDED OR EARLIER TERMINATED.

We, Nano Dimension Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Nano” or “Nano Dimension”), hereby amend and supplement our offer to purchase, dated May 25, 2023 (the “Original Offer to Purchase”) filed as an exhibit to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 25, 2023 (the “Tender Offer Statement”), as previously amended and supplemented, including by the Supplement to Offer to Purchase, dated June 27, 2023 (the “First Supplement to Offer to Purchase”) and the Second Supplement to Offer to Purchase, dated July 10, 2023 (the “Second Supplement to Offer to Purchase” and, together with the Original Offer to Purchase, the “Amended Offer to Purchase”) to purchase up to 25,266,458 Stratasys Shares not already owned by Nano, such that Nano would own up to and no more than 51% of the outstanding Stratasys Shares upon consummation of the offer, with a minimum condition of owning at least 46% of the outstanding Stratasys Shares upon consummation of the offer, but in any event no less than 5% of the outstanding Stratasys Shares are tendered in the offer, at the price of $24.00 per Stratasys Share, to the seller in cash, less any required withholding taxes and without interest.

Nano is now increasing the Offer Price from $24.00 to $25.00 per Stratasys Share, to the seller in cash, less any required withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended Offer to Purchase, as previously amended and supplemented and as further amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 13 to the Tender Offer Statement, filed with the SEC on July 18, 2023 (“Amendment No. 13”), this Third Supplement to Offer to Purchase (the “Third Supplement to Offer to Purchase”, and together with the Amended Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), the related Third Amended Letter of Transmittal, and the other materials filed as exhibits to Amendment No. 13 that we have filed with the SEC (such materials, collectively as they may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “tender offer materials”). The terms and conditions set forth in the tender offer materials collectively constitute the “offer”. Based on the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed by Stratasys on May 30, 2023, there were 68,552,104 Stratasys Shares outstanding as of May 24, 2023, of which 58,856,989 Stratasys Shares are not already owned by Nano, or approximately 85.9%. Nano beneficially owns approximately 14.1% of the outstanding Stratasys Shares based on the number of Stratasys Shares outstanding as of May 24, 2023.

Except to the extent amended and supplemented by this Third Supplement to Offer to Purchase, the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended Offer to Purchase remain applicable in all respects to the offer. This Third Supplement to Offer to Purchase is a part of, and should be read in conjunction with, the Amended Offer to Purchase, the Third Amended Letter of Transmittal, and the other documents that constitute part of the offer. Where information in the Amended Offer to Purchase, the Third Amended Letter of Transmittal, and the other documents that constitute part of the offer is in conflict with, supplemented by or replaced by information in this Third Supplement to Offer to Purchase, the information provided in this Third Supplement to Offer to Purchase shall govern. Capitalized terms used in this Third Supplement to Offer to Purchase, but not otherwise defined in this Third Supplement to Offer to Purchase, shall have the meanings given to those terms in the Amended Offer to Purchase.

Can I object to the offer?

        Under Israeli law, you may respond to the offer by accepting the offer or sending a Notice of Objection.

        Alternatively, you may simply not respond to the offer and not tender your Stratasys Shares. You are not deemed to, and are not required to, object to the offer if you do not tender your Stratasys Shares.

See Section 9 of the Original Offer to Purchase — “Procedures for Tendering Shares or Notifying us of Your Objection to the Offer”.

Following the withdrawal of a Notice of Objection, a new Notice of Objection may be submitted at any time prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date by following the procedures described in Section 9 of the Original Offer to Purchase. In addition, if you submitted a Notice of Objection with respect to Stratasys Shares and thereafter you deliver a Letter of Transmittal by which you tender those Stratasys Shares or you otherwise tender those Stratasys Shares through your broker or other nominee, we will disregard your Notice of Objection. Similarly, if you submitted a Letter of Transmittal by which you tendered Stratasys Shares or you otherwise tendered those Stratasys Shares through your broker or other nominee, and thereafter you deliver to us a Notice of Objection with respect to those Stratasys Shares, we will disregard your Letter of Transmittal or previous tender. If you submitted a Letter of Transmittal (or you otherwise tendered through your broker or other nominee) and a Notice of Objection concurrently with respect to the same Stratasys Shares, we will disregard the Notice of Objection. If you hold such Stratasys Shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you must request such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to submit on your behalf a notice of withdrawal. Following the withdrawal of a Notice of Objection, a new Notice of Objection may be submitted at any time prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date by following the procedures described above.

        To withdraw previously tendered Stratasys Shares, you must deliver a written notice of withdrawal to the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this Third Supplement to Offer to Purchase with the required information to the Depositary while you still have the right to withdraw your Stratasys Shares. If you tendered your Stratasys Shares by giving instructions to a broker, banker or other nominee, you must instruct the broker, banker or other nominee to arrange for the withdrawal of your Stratasys Shares. See Section 10 of the Original Offer to Purchase — “Withdrawal Rights”.

How will you fund the purchase of the Stratasys Shares?

        The funds required for Nano to purchase up to 25,266,458 outstanding Stratasys Shares in the offer such that Nano would own up to and no more than 51% of the outstanding Stratasys Shares would be approximately $631,661,451.

Such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

AMENDMENTS TO SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

In addition to the changes that we have described above, the Amended Offer to Purchase is further amended as follows:

Summary Term Sheet

(i)     By amending and restating the section entitled “WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE STRATASYS SHARES DO YOU CURRENTLY OWN?” of the section entitled “SUMMARY TERM SHEET” of the Original Offer to Purchase as follows:

“As of May 25, 2023, Nano beneficially owned 9,695,115 Stratasys Shares, or approximately 14.1% of the outstanding Stratasys Shares as of May 24, 2023. See “Introduction” and Section 17 — “Conditions of the Offer”.”

Special Factors

1.      Background of the Offer; Contacts with Stratasys

(i)     By adding the following disclosure as the last paragraph of Section 1 of the Original Offer to Purchase, entitled “Background of the Offer; Contacts with Stratasys”:

“On July 18, 2023, we issued a press release announcing: (i) the increased Offer Price of $25.00 per Stratasys Share, to the seller in cash, less any required withholding taxes and without interest; (ii) the extension of the Offer Period to 5:00 p.m., New York time, on July 31, 2023, unless further extended or earlier terminated (subsequently corrected to 11:59 p.m. by Amendment No. 13) and; (iii) Nano’s opposition to Stratasys’s proposed merger with Desktop Metal and recommendation to Stratasys shareholders to allow Nano, as a 51% holder of Stratasys Shares upon successful consummation of the offer, to (A) negotiate a combination of Stratasys with 3D Systems; and/or (B) purchase the remaining Stratasys Shares to reach 100% ownership as soon as practicable and permissible under U.S. and Israeli law.”

2.      Purpose of the Offer; Effects of the Offer; Plans for Stratasys

(i)     Subsection (c) entitled “Plans for Stratasys” of the section entitled “Purpose of the Offer; Effects of the Offer; Plans for Stratasys” in Section 2 of the Original Offer to Purchase, as previously amended and restated, is hereby further amended and restated as follows:

“Nano is conducting a detailed review of Stratasys and its assets, corporate structure, capitalization, operations, properties, policies, management and personnel, and will consider which changes would be desirable in light of the circumstances that exist upon completion of the offer. Nano will continue to evaluate the business and operations of Stratasys during the pendency of the offer. On June 13, 2023, we sent a letter to the Stratasys Board to demand that they call an extraordinary general meeting of Stratasys shareholders to remove a majority of the board of directors and replace them with highly qualified nominees proposed by Nano; in response, Stratasys has included our seven proposed directors on the ballot for its next annual general meeting of Stratasys shareholders to be held on August 8, 2023. As the largest shareholder of Stratasys, Nano intends to support a review of strategic alternatives to further enhance shareholder value, including through industry consolidation. After the consummation of the offer, Nano intends to conduct a comprehensive review of Stratasys’s business, operations, capitalization and management with a view to optimizing development of Stratasys’s potential in conjunction with Stratasys’s existing businesses. Possible changes could include changes in Stratasys’s business, corporate structure, memorandum of association, articles of association, capitalization, management, SEC registration or Nasdaq listing. In addition, Nano intends to explore various industry consolidating transactions including, but not limited to, a negotiated combination of Stratasys with 3D Systems and acquiring the remaining outstanding Stratasys Shares that Nano will not already own after consummation of the offer as soon as practicable and permissible under applicable U.S. and Israeli law. Our plans may change based on further analysis and Nano and, after completion of the offer, the Stratasys Board may change their plans and intentions at any time, as deemed appropriate.

We intend to review our investment in Stratasys, its performance and market conditions periodically and consider possible strategies for enhancing value and take such actions with respect to our investment as we deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. Such actions could include, among other things, additional purchases of Stratasys Shares pursuant to one or more open-market purchase programs, through private transactions

7

or through tender offers or otherwise, subject to applicable U.S. and Israeli law. Future purchases may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to Stratasys’s shareholders than the terms of the offer. Any possible future purchases will depend on many factors, including the results of the offer, the market price of Stratasys Shares, our business and financial position, and general economic and market conditions. In addition, following the consummation of the offer, we may also determine to dispose of our Stratasys Shares, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, subject to applicable laws. Any such decision would be based on our assessment of a number of different factors, including, without limitation, the business, prospects and affairs of Stratasys, the market for the Stratasys Shares, the condition of the securities markets, general economic and industry conditions and other opportunities available to us.

Under Israeli law, if a shareholder (together with its affiliates) owns in excess of 45.0% of the voting power of a company, such shareholder may purchase shares in the open market or through private transactions, and not solely by means of a tender offer, unless as a result of the purchase the shareholder (together with its affiliates) would own in excess of 90.0% of the issued and outstanding Stratasys Shares. Accordingly, following the consummation of the offer, we may purchase additional Stratasys Shares in the open market or through private transactions, and not solely by means of a tender offer, as long as our (together with our affiliates) aggregate percentage ownership of issued and outstanding Stratasys Shares does not exceed 90.0%.

Provided that the offer shall be accepted in full and the maximum amount of Stratasys Shares under the offer are tendered, subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law, we may subsequently consider purchasing any balance of outstanding Stratasys Shares not held by Nano by tender offer, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or other acquisition.

However, under Israeli law, we, our controlling shareholders and any corporation under our or their control, are prohibited from conducting an additional tender offer for Stratasys Shares and from merging with Stratasys within 12 months from the Final Expiration Date.”

3.      Related Party Transactions

(i)     By adding the following disclosure as the last paragraph of Section 5 of the Original Offer to Purchase, entitled “Related Party Transactions”:

“On July 7, 2023, Nano contributed 100 Stratasys Shares it then owned to Nano Dimension NY Ltd., a New York corporation and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Nano, as a capital contribution for no consideration.”

No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation on our behalf not contained herein or in the tender offer materials delivered to you and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized.
