established by our board of directors. Our Chief Executive Officer is appointed by, and serves at the discretion of, our board of directors, subject to the employment agreement
that we have entered into with him. All other executive officers are also appointed by our board of directors, subject to the terms of any applicable employment agreements that
we may enter into with them.
Under our amended articles, our board of directors must consist of at least seven and not more than 11 directors, including at least two external directors required to be
elected under the Companies Law. Upon the expiration of the initial two year term following the Stratasys-Objet merger on December 1, 2014 and the adoption by our

annual general meeting of shareholders (other than our external directors, who are elected for three year terms every three years in accordance with the requirements of the
Companies Law). The vote required for the election of each director (other than external directors) is a majority of the voting power represented at the meeting and voting on the
