Item 2.0502 Results ~~Costs~~of ~~Associated~~Operations ~~with~~and ~~Exit~~Financial ~~or Disposal Activities~~Condition.

On ~~December~~March 1528, ~~2023~~2024, ~~the Board of Directors of~~ Shapeways Holdings, Inc. (the “"Company”") ~~approved~~issued a ~~reduction~~press inrelease ~~force~~announcing ~~as part of~~ the Company'’s ~~cost-reduction~~financial ~~initiatives~~results ~~initiated~~for in the ~~third~~ quarter ofand ~~this~~ year ~~intended~~ended toDecember ~~reduce~~31, ~~operating expenses~~2023. ~~These~~A ~~initiatives~~copy ~~included~~of athis ~~previous~~press ~~reduction~~release inis ~~force~~furnished ~~completed~~as inExhibit ~~October~~99.1 ~~2023, a reduction of new hires,~~ and ais ~~reduction~~incorporated inherein ~~non-critical~~by ~~capital and discretionary operating expenditures~~reference.

AsThe ainformation ~~result~~in this Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto) is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the ~~cost~~Securities ~~reduction~~Exchange ~~initiatives~~Act of 1934, as amended (the ~~Company~~“Exchange ~~reduced~~Act”), ~~its~~or ~~current~~otherwise ~~workforce~~subject byto ~~approximately~~the 33liabilities ~~employees~~of that section, ~~representing~~nor ~~approximately~~shall ~~24%~~it ofbe deemed incorporated by reference into any filing by the Company's, ~~global~~under ~~non-production~~the ~~workforce~~Securities ~~(or~~Act ~~approximately~~of ~~15%~~1933, ofas amended, or the ~~Company's~~Exchange ~~total~~Act, ~~global~~except ~~workforce)~~as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

The Company currently estimates that it will incur one-time cash charges of approximately $0.45 million in connection with the reduction in force, primarily consisting of notice period and severance payments, employee benefits and related costs. The Company expects that the majority of these charges will be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2023 and that the reduction in force will be substantially complete by the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, subject to notice periods, and local law and consultation requirements, which may extend the process beyond the end of 2023. The charges the Company expects to incur are subject to assumptions, including local law requirements, and actual charges may differ from the estimate above. In aggregate, the reduction in force, combined with the elimination of certain open positions, is expected to result in approximately $6.2 million in annual cash operating expense savings.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD.

On December 20, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the reduction in force. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto) is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing by the Company, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filling.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "should," "would," "plan," "predict," "potential," "seem," "seek," "future," "outlook," and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, regarding the Company's efforts to improve its cost structure, cost-reduction initiatives, expected charges and savings related to its reduction in force, and the timing of when such charges are expected to be recognized, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, financial, geopolitical, legal, and market conditions, including supply chain disruptions and inflationary or recessionary pressures; the timing of full implementation of the reduction in force; any unintended consequences from the reduction in force that may impact Shapeways’ business; and those factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in Shapeways’ most recent Form 10-K, most recent Form 10-Q, and other documents the Company has filed, or will file, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know, or that the Company currently believes are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company's expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date hereof. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements

should not be relied upon as representing the Company's assessments of any date subsequent to the date hereof. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon forward-looking statements.
