EX-99.(A)(46) 4 ea181977ex-a46_stratasys.htm EMPLOYEE LETTER, DATED JULY 19, 2023

Exhibit (a)(46)

Internal communication – not for distribution

Team Stratasys,

As part of our commitment to keeping you informed, I wanted to provide an update regarding Nano Dimension’s revised unsolicited partial tender offer to acquire between 31.9% and 36.9% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Stratasys.

We issued a press release announcing that our Board, after consultation with its independent financial and legal advisors, unanimously determined that the revised partial tender offer by Nano Dimension for $25 per share is misleading, illusory, continues to significantly undervalue the Company as a whole and is NOT in the best interests of all Stratasys shareholders. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders reject the revised partial offer, deliver a Notice of Objection against the partial offer and do NOT tender their Stratasys shares in the partial offer.

Previous objections remain viable and do not require additional action. That said, for employees who are shareholders, there is no workable, confidential avenue for submitting your Notice of Objection. As such, at this point no action is required. Any updates and/or new information regarding the process will be communicated.

It’s important to remember that these ongoing developments regarding our company do not impact the progress we are making to strengthen our business. As we move forward, the most important thing for you to do is to stay focused on your day-to-day responsibilities and continue delivering the exceptional products and services our customers expect from Stratasys.

As always, please forward any calls you receive from outside parties, including members of the media, investors and analysts to Yonah Lloyd at Yonah.Lloyd@stratasys.com.

Thank you again and let’s keep up the good work.

Yours,

Yoav
