Larry Jasinski. Mr.
Jasinski’s biographical information is set forth above under the section “Information About Our Directors – Class II
Directors Continuing in Office until the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.”
Almog Adar, 38, has
served as our Director of Finance since December 2021 and as the Company’s Corporate Financial Controller since January 2020. Before
joining the Company, Mr. Adar served as Controller of Infinya recycling Ltd. (previously Amnir Recycling), from January 2018 until December

Board Leadership Structure
The Board has no policy regarding the need to separate or combine
the offices of Chairman of the Board and CEO and remains free to make this determination from time to time in a manner that the Board
deems most appropriate for our Company. Currently, we have separated the positions of CEO and Chairman of the Board in recognition of
the differences between the two roles. The CEO is responsible for the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company, while the
Chairman of the Board (in collaboration with other members of the Board) sets the strategic direction of the Company, provides guidance
to the management, sets the agenda for the Board meetings (in collaboration with the other members of the Board) and presides over meetings
of the Board. We believe that separating these positions allows the Chairman of the Board to lead the Board in its fundamental role of
providing direction and guidance to management, while allowing our CEO to focus on our day-to-day operations. In addition, we believe
that the current separation provides a more effective monitoring and objective evaluation of the performance of the CEO. The Board believes
it is important that the Company retain organizational flexibility to determine whether the roles of CEO and Chairman of the Board should
be separated or combined.
Risk Management
The Board is actively involved in the oversight and management
of risks that could affect the Company. This oversight and management is conducted primarily through committees of the Board, as disclosed
in the descriptions of each of the committees above and in the charters of each of the committees, but the full Board has retained responsibility
for general oversight of risks. The Board regularly receives reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to the
Company, including operational (which itself includes cybersecurity matters), financial, regulatory and legal. The audit committee oversees
management of financial risks (including liquidity and credit), approves all transactions with related persons and is primarily responsible
for oversight of the Company’s financial reporting process and internal control over financial reporting. The compensation committee
is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the Company’s executive compensation plans and arrangements. The
nominating and corporate governance committee oversees the Company’s corporate governance programs, including the administration
of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Board discharges its oversight responsibility through full reports by each committee chair
regarding the relevant committee’s actions, as well as through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight
of particular risks within the Company.

Opt-Out of Certain Israel Companies Law Requirements
As an Israeli company, we are required to comply with the requirements
of the Israel Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Until early 2018, our Board was required to include at least two
“external directors” as defined under the Israel Companies Law. In addition, we were required to comply with certain requirements
under the Israel Companies Law regarding the composition of our audit committee and compensation committee, including requirements relating
to the inclusion and role of the external directors on such committees. Pursuant to regulations promulgated under the Israel Companies
Law, however, we — as a company that does not have a controlling shareholder, and that complies with the U.S. securities laws and
the Nasdaq corporate governance rules — were permitted to “opt out” of the requirement to appoint external directors
as well as the above requirements related to the composition of the audit committee and the compensation committee.
In February 2018, our Board determined that opting out of the requirements
under the Israel Companies Law regarding the appointment of external directors and the composition of our audit committee and compensation
committee would reduce our administrative and financial burden and provide greater flexibility in attracting highly-qualified directors,
while maintaining appropriate corporate governance standards; accordingly, we opted out of such requirements. As a result, our Board is
no longer required to include two external directors, and our audit committee and compensation committee do not need to comply with certain
committee composition requirements under the Israel Companies Law. Following our opting-out of such requirements, Dr. John William Poduska
continued to serve as a member of our Board but not as an external director or a member of any of Class I, Class II or Class III. His
term was initially scheduled to expire in 2020, but because of the Company’s decision to opt out of the requirements as described
above, Dr. Poduska was nominated for reelection as a Class II director in 2019.
Director Independence
Our Board has determined that, other than Larry Jasinski, our CEO,
all of our current directors are independent under Nasdaq listing standards. Furthermore, our Board also determined that all current members
of the audit committee, compensation committee, and nominating and corporate governance committee are independent under the applicable
Nasdaq listing standards and rules and regulations of the SEC. In making its determinations regarding independence, the Board carefully
reviewed the categorical tests enumerated in the Nasdaq independence definition, as well as the individual circumstances of each director
with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to the Company and our management.
Nasdaq Listing Standards
The Nasdaq definition of “independent director” includes
a series of objective tests. Specifically, a director is deemed independent under the Nasdaq rules if such director is not an executive
officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s Board, would
interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Generally, the following persons
are not considered independent, among others:
| • |
a director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the company; |
| • |
a director who accepted or who has a family member who accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any
period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than compensation for board
or board committee service, compensation paid to a family member who is an employee (other than an executive officer) of the company,
or benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation; |
| • |
a director who is a family member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the company
as an executive officer; |
| • |
a director who is, or has a family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of, any organization
to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three
fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other
than the following: (i) payments arising solely from investments in the company’s securities; or (ii) payments under non-discretionary
charitable contribution matching programs; |
5
| • |
a director who is, or has a family member who is, employed as an executive officer of another entity where at any time during the
past three years any of the executive officers of the company serve on the compensation committee of such other entity; and |
| • |
a director who is, or has a family member who is, a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or was a partner or employee
of the company’s outside auditor who worked on the company’s audit at any time during any of the past three years. |
Audit Committee
We have a separately designated standing audit committee. The audit
committee consists of Mr. Yohanan Engelhardt, Dr. John William Poduska and Mr. Wayne B. Weisman. Mr. Yohanan Engelhardt serves as the
chairman of the audit committee. The audit committee holds a minimum of four meetings per year and will meet more frequently as circumstances
require. The audit committee met five times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Israel Companies Law Requirements
Under the Israel Companies Law, we are required to appoint an audit
committee. As discussed above under “Opt-Out of Certain Israel Companies Law Requirements”, in February 2018 we opted out
of certain Israel Companies Law requirements, including certain requirements as to the composition of our audit committee.
Nasdaq Listing Standards and SEC Requirements
Under the Nasdaq corporate governance rules, we are required to
maintain an audit committee consisting of at least three independent directors, each of whom is financially literate and one of whom has
accounting or related financial management expertise. Additionally, we must state whether any members of the audit committee qualifies
as an “audit committee financial expert” under Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC.
All members of the audit committee meet the requirements for financial
literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Our Board has determined that
Yohanan Engelhardt is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC rules and has the requisite financial sophistication
as defined by the Nasdaq corporate governance rules.
Each of the current audit committee members is “independent”
as such term is defined under the Nasdaq corporate governance rules and under Rule 10A-3(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act, which
is different from the general test for independence of board members and members of other committees.
Audit Committee Role
Our Board has adopted an audit committee charter that sets forth
the responsibilities of the audit committee consistent with the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq corporate governance rules, as well as
the requirements for such committee under the Israel Companies Law, including the following:
| • |
overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm and recommending the engagement, compensation or termination of engagement
of our independent registered public accounting firm to the Board in accordance with Israeli law; |
| • |
reviewing regularly the senior members of the independent auditor’s team, including the lead audit partner and reviewing partner;
|
| • |
pre-approving the terms of audit, audit-related and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting
firm for pre-approval by our Board; |
| • |
recommending the engagement or termination of the person filling the office of our internal auditor; |
| • |
reviewing periodically with management, the internal audit and the independent registered public accounting firm the adequacy and
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting; and |

the Company prior to filing with the SEC. |

The charter of the audit committee is available at http://ir.rewalk.com.
Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this Amendment No. 1 and is not incorporated
by reference herein.
The audit committee provides assistance to our Board in fulfilling
its legal and fiduciary obligations in matters involving our accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal control over financial
reporting and legal compliance. Specifically, the audit committee pre-approves the services performed by our independent registered public
accounting firm and reviews the firm’s reports regarding our accounting practices and systems of internal control over financial
reporting. The audit committee also oversees the audit efforts of our independent registered public accounting firm and takes those actions
that it deems necessary to satisfy itself that such accountants are in fact independent of management.
Under the Israel Companies Law, the audit committee is responsible
for:
| • |
determining whether there are deficiencies in the business management practices of our Company and making recommendations to our
Board to improve such practices; |
| • |
determining whether to approve certain related party transactions, and classifying transactions in which a controlling shareholder
has a personal benefit or other interest as significant or insignificant (which affects the required approvals) (see “Item 13—Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law”
below); |
| • |
examining our internal controls and internal auditor’s performance, including whether the internal auditor has sufficient resources
and tools to dispose of its responsibilities, and in certain cases approving the annual work plan of our internal auditor; |
| • |
examining the scope of our auditor’s work and compensation and submitting a recommendation with respect thereto to our Board
or shareholders, depending on which of them is considering the appointment of our auditor; and |
| • |
establishing procedures for the handling of employees’ complaints as to the deficiencies in the management of our business
and the protection to be provided to such employees. |
The audit committee may not approve any actions requiring its approval
unless at the time of the approval a majority of the committee’s members are present. See “Item 13—Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law” below.
Compensation Committee
We have a separately designated standing compensation committee.
The compensation committee consists of Mr. Aryeh (Arik) Dan and Dr. John William Poduska. Dr. Poduska serves as the chairman of the compensation
committee. The compensation committee meets as circumstances require and held five meetings during the year ended December 31, 2021. Under
its charter, the compensation committee may ask members of management to attend meetings and provide pertinent information as needed.
However, any person ineligible to serve as a member of the committee under the Israel Companies Law generally may not attend committee
meetings unless to present on a particular topic as determined by the committee. In addition, the CEO may not be present for, and if applicable
is excused from, the meeting during voting or deliberation on his compensation.
Israel Companies Law Requirements
Under the Israel Companies Law, the board of directors of a public
company must appoint a compensation committee. As discussed above under “Opt-Out of Certain Israel Companies Law Requirements”,
in February 2018 we opted out of certain Israel Companies Law requirements, including certain requirements as to the composition of our
compensation committee.
The duties of the compensation committee include the recommendation
to the company’s board of directors of a compensation policy regarding the terms of engagement of directors and of specified members
of senior management. That compensation policy must be adopted by the company’s board of directors, after considering the recommendations
of the compensation committee, and must then be approved by the company’s shareholders, which approval requires a Special Approval
for Compensation (as defined below under “—Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law—Fiduciary Duties
of Directors and Executive Officers”). Our Board adopted a compensation policy, which our shareholders subsequently approved at
the extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders held on December 15, 2014. Our shareholders approved amendments to our compensation
policy at the annual general meetings of our shareholders held on December 3, 2015, May 24, 2016, June 27, 2017, March 27, 2019, June
18, 2020, and May 19, 2021 (as amended, the “Compensation Policy”).
7
The compensation policy of an Israeli company must serve as the
basis for decisions concerning the financial terms of employment or engagement of office holders, including compensation, benefits, exculpation,
insurance and indemnification. The compensation policy must take into account certain factors, including advancement of the company’s
objectives, the company’s business plan and its long-term strategy, and creation of appropriate incentives. It must also consider,
among other things, the company’s risk management, size and the nature of its operations. The compensation policy must include certain
principles, such as a link between variable compensation and long-term performance and measurable criteria, the relationship between variable
and fixed compensation, and the minimum holding or vesting period for variable, equity-based compensation. We believe that the Compensation
Policy satisfies these requirements.
The compensation committee is responsible for (a) recommending
the Compensation Policy to our Board for its approval (and subsequent approval by our shareholders) and (b) carrying out duties related
to the Compensation Policy and to the compensation of our directors and senior management, including:
| • |
reviewing and making recommendations regarding our Compensation Policy at least every three years; |
| • |
recommending to the Board periodic updates to the Compensation Policy; |
| • |
assessing implementation of the Compensation Policy; |
| • |
approving compensation terms of executive officers, directors and employees affiliated with controlling shareholders; and |
| • |
exempting certain compensation arrangements from the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under the Israel Companies Law.
|
Nasdaq Listing Standards and Section 16 of
the Exchange Act
Under the Nasdaq corporate governance rules, we are required to
maintain a compensation committee consisting of at least two independent directors. Each of the members of the compensation committee
is required to be independent under the Nasdaq listing standards relating to compensation committee members, which are different from
the general test for independence of board and members of other committees. In assessing independence, the Board considered all factors
specifically relevant to determining whether a director has a relationship to the Company which is material to that director’s ability
to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member and determined that each of the members
of the compensation committee satisfies those requirements. Additionally, transactions between us and our directors and executive officers
will be considered exempt from short-swing liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act if approved by our Board or a committee composed
solely of two or more “non-employee directors,” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 16b-3”).
Our Board has determined that each of the members of the compensation committee is a “non-employee director,” as defined in
Rule 16b-3.
Compensation Committee Role
Our Board has adopted a compensation committee charter setting
forth the responsibilities of the committee, which include:
| • |
reviewing and approving the granting of options and other incentive awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans to
the extent such authority is delegated by our Board; |
| • |
recommending the Company’s compensation policy and reviewing that policy from time to time both with respect to the CEO and
other office holders and generally, including to assess the need for periodic updates; |
| • |
reviewing and approving corporate goals relevant to the compensation of the CEO and other officers and evaluating the performance
of the CEO and other officers; and |
| • |
reviewing, evaluating and making recommendations regarding the compensation and benefits for our non-employee directors. |
8
The charter of the compensation committee is available at http://ir.rewalk.com.
Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this Amendment No. 1 and is not incorporated
by reference herein.
Subject to applicable law, the compensation committee may delegate
its authority to subcommittees established from time to time by the committee. Such subcommittees shall consist of one or more members
of the committee or the board and shall report to the committee. The compensation committee is authorized to retain and terminate compensation
consultants, legal counsel or other advisors to the committee and to approve the engagement of any such consultant, counsel or advisor,
to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate after specifically analyzing the independence of any such consultant retained by the compensation
committee.
Compensation Consultant
The compensation committee has authority to retain compensation
consulting firms to assist it in the evaluation of executive officer and employee compensation and benefit programs. The compensation
committee has retained Aon Hewitt (“Aon”) as its independent compensation advisor. Aon provides an objective perspective as
to the reasonableness of our executive compensation programs and practices and their effectiveness in supporting our business and compensation
objectives, as well as our equity compensation plans and number of shares available for grants.
Although Aon regularly consults with management in performing work
requested by the compensation committee, it did not perform any separate additional services for management. The compensation committee
has assessed the independence of Aon pursuant to applicable SEC rules and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent
Aon from independently representing the compensation committee.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Mr.
Aryeh (Arik) Dan and Mr. Jeff Dykan. Mr. Jeff Dykan serves as the chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating
and corporate governance committee meets as circumstances require, and held one meeting and one informal discussion during the year ended
December 31, 2021. Our Board has adopted a nominating and corporate governance committee charter that sets forth the responsibilities
of the nominating and corporate governance committee, which include:
| • |
overseeing and assisting our board in reviewing and recommending nominees for election as directors; |
| • |
reviewing and evaluating recommendations regarding management succession; |
| • |
assessing the performance of the members of our Board; and |
| • |
establishing and maintaining effective corporate governance policies and practices, including, but not limited to, developing and
recommending to our Board a code of conduct. |
The nominating and corporate governance committee considers proposals
from a number of sources, including recommendations for nominees from shareholders submitted upon written notice to the chairman of the
nominating and corporate governance committee, c/o ReWalk Robotics Ltd., 3 Hatnufa Street, Floor 6, Yokneam Ilit 2069203, Israel. Other
sources include referrals from other directors, members of management and the Company’s advisors. When considering a person to be
recommended for nomination as a director, the nomination and governance committee evaluates, whether sourced by a shareholder or otherwise,
among other factors, experience, accomplishments, education, skills, personal and professional integrity, diversity of the Board and the
candidate’s ability to devote the necessary time for service as a director (including directorships and other positions held at
other corporations and organizations). The nominating and governance committee does not use different standards to evaluate nominees
depending on whether they are proposed by our directors and management or by our shareholders.
9
The nominating and corporate governance committee has no specific
policy on director diversity. However, the Board reviews diversity of viewpoints, background, experience, accomplishments, education and
skills when evaluating nominees. The Board believes that such diversity is important because it provides varied perspectives and promotes
active and constructive discussion among directors and between the Board and management, resulting in more effective oversight of management’s
formulation and implementation of strategic initiatives. In addition, in the Board’s executive sessions and in annual performance
evaluations conducted by the Board and its committees, the Board from time to time considers whether the Board’s composition promotes
a constructive and collegial environment. In determining whether an incumbent director should stand for reelection, the nominating and
corporate governance committee considers the above factors, as well as that director’s personal and professional integrity, attendance,
preparedness, participation and candor and other relevant factors as determined by the Board. Additionally, under Israeli law, if at the
time of election of a director, all of the members of the Board are of the same gender, the director to be elected must be of the other
gender. Further, the recently adopted listing requirements of Nasdaq require each listed smaller reporting company to have, or explain
why it does not have, at least two diverse directors on the board, including at least one diverse director who self-identifies as female.
Nasdaq permits the second diverse director to include an individual who self-identifies as one or more of the following: female, LGBTQ+
or an underrepresented minority. Our current Board composition is in compliance with these requirements. Each term used above, and in
the matrix below, has the meaning given to it in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(f). The Board believes its diversity is demonstrated in the
range of experiences, qualifications and skills of the current members of the Board, as well as gender identities and ethnic backgrounds,
reflected in the membership of Ms. Richner and Mr. Ichiki.
The matrix below provides
certain highlights of the composition of our Board members based on self-identification.

and corporate governance committee is available at http://ir.rewalk.com. Information contained
on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this Amendment No. 1 and is not incorporated by reference
herein.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to
all of our directors and employees, including our CEO, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), controller or principal accounting
officer, or other persons performing similar functions, which fulfils applicable guidelines issued by the SEC. The full text of the Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted at http://ir.rewalk.com. Information contained on, or
that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this Amendment No. 1 and is not incorporated by reference herein.
We will also provide a hard copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics free of charge upon written request to ReWalk Robotics, Ltd.,
3 Hatnufa Street, Floor 6, Yokneam Ilit 2069203, Israel. If we make any amendment to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or grant
any waivers, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the code, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our
website within four business days to the extent required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. We granted no waivers under our Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics in 2021.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that the Company’s
directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our outstanding ordinary shares file with the SEC initial reports
of ownership in our ordinary shares and reports of changes in ownership in our ordinary shares. Based solely on a review of reports filed
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and certain of our internal records, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements
applicable to our directors, officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners were satisfied on a timely basis, except for (i) one Form
4 filed late by Wayne B. Weisman on November 19, 2021 and (ii) one Form 4 filed late by Jeff Dykan on November 19, 2021, each of which
was filed late due to administrative error.

Employment Agreements of Named Executive Officers
Each of Larry Jasinski, our CEO, and Jeannine Lynch, our Vice President
of Market Access and Strategy, previously entered into an employment agreement with our Subsidiary, and Ori Gon, our former CFO, previously
entered into an employment agreement with us. These employment agreements set forth their respective terms of employment, which terms
are generally applicable to all of our executives, covering matters such as vacation, health and other benefits. The following are descriptions
of the material terms of our Named Executive Officers’ employment agreements.
13
Larry Jasinski
On January 17, 2011, we entered into an employment agreement with
Mr. Jasinski, pursuant to which he has served as the CEO of the Company since February 12, 2012. The employment agreement provides for
an annual base salary, subject to annual increases in the discretion of, the Company, and an annual performance bonus. In accordance with
previous shareholder approvals, the annual base salary is currently $403,142. The annual performance bonus was originally set at up to
35% of annual base salary. In 2016, this was increased to an annual performance bonus of up to 60% of annual base salary for achieving
100% of targets (with adjustment upward or downward for performance exceeding or failing to meet such objectives, respectively). In
2020, this was increased to an annual performance bonus of up to 70% of annual base salary for achieving 100% of targets (with adjustment
upward or downward for performance exceeding or failing to meet such objectives, respectively). In the event that Mr. Jasinski’s
employment is terminated by the Company without cause (as defined in the employment agreement), or if Mr. Jasinski terminates his employment
for “Good Reason” (as defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled to certain severance payments and benefits,
including: (i) a lump sum payment equal to 90 days of his base salary, (ii) an annual performance bonus (calculated based on the assumption
that to the extent performance objectives were achieved in the six-month period preceding his termination, they will also be achieved
in the six months following termination), (iii) reimbursement for any COBRA or other medical, dental and vision premiums for twelve months
following his termination and (iv) continued participation for a period of twelve months in any employee and executive benefit programs
in effect as of his termination and reimbursement for the premium or other fees associated with continuation in any insurance program
available to the Company’s employees as a non-employee or in a comparable program if participation as a non-employee would be barred.
The employment agreement further provides that if Mr. Jasinski’s employment is terminated without cause or by Mr. Jasinski for Good
Reason, any unvested portion of the options which would have vested during the six months following such termination had Mr. Jasinski
remained employed by the Company, will automatically vest. If Mr. Jasinski terminates his employment without Good Reason, he will be entitled
to receive a pro-rated amount of his annual performance bonus as determined in good faith by the Board. Mr. Jasinski is not entitled
to any severance if he is terminated by the Company for cause.
The employment agreement was amended in 2020 to provide that if a
change of control occurs, and within one year following such change of control Mr. Jasinski is terminated without cause or he resigns
for Good Reason, Mr. Jasinski will be entitled to severance of 18 months’ salary as well as an annual bonus (assuming achievement
of 100% of milestones and targets set by the board of directors).
The employment agreement is governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware and contains non-solicitation and non-competition covenants (each of which remains in effect during the term of employment and
for 12 months following termination of employment) and trade secrets and inventions clauses.

On January 4, 2018, the Board appointed Mr. Ori Gon as CFO of the
Company, effective February 22, 2018. On March 1, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment, effective as of the date of Mr.
Gon’s appointment, to the employment agreement entered into on May 25, 2015, in connection with his previous employment by the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the amended employment agreement, Mr. Gon was entitled to (i) an annual base salary of NIS 642,720 (following
annual increases) (approximately $194,763 based on the exchange rates as of March 16, 2021), subject to increases as may have been determined
from time to time by the compensation committee of the Board, (ii) an annual performance bonus up to 25% of annual base salary, subject
to the achievement of objectives as determined by the compensation committee of the Board, and (iii) use of a Company-provided car and
related maintenance expenses (returnable to the Company upon termination of employment). Pursuant to the Amendment, effective February
22, 2018, Mr. Gon also received, under the Company’s 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan, (i) options to purchase 96,525 ordinary
shares of the Company, at an exercise price of $1.15, one-fourth of which become vested and exercisable on the first anniversary of the
date of the grant, with the remaining options vesting in twelve equal quarterly instalments thereafter, and (ii) RSUs for 17,857 ordinary
shares, which vested in four equal annual installments starting on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Additionally, in 2020,
(i) Mr. Gon’s annual performance bonus was amended to allow a bonus of up to 35% of his base salary and (ii) Mr. Gon was granted
10,000 additional RSUs. The terms of the options and the RSUs are materially consistent with the Company’s forms of option and RSU
award agreements for employees and executive officers as previously filed with the SEC. The employment agreement was not for any specific
term and could be terminated by either party at will upon three months’ prior written notice. Mr. Gon’s employment agreement
is governed by the laws of the State of Israel and contains non-solicitation and non-competition covenants (each of which remains in effect
during the term of employment and for a period of 12 months and 24 months, respectively, following termination of employment) and trade
secrets and inventions clauses.
Mr. Gon resigned from his position with the Company, effective
as of March 12, 2022. In connection with his resignation, the compensation committee and Board approved a departure bonus to Mr. Ori Gon
of a number of ordinary shares of the Company having a value equal to $50,000, payable in a single payment on June 30, 2022 and based
on the average closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq over the ninety-day period ending on such date, contingent
on Mr. Gon’s providing satisfactory consulting services to the Company in connection with the transition to a new CFO or other finance
department employee designated by the CEO. Mr. Gon may also be entitled to receive severance pay in such amounts as determined in accordance
with the Israel Companies Law.

Jeannine Lynch
On July 22, 2021, the Board appointed Ms. Jeannine Lynch as Vice
President of Market Access and Strategy of the Company, effective August 31, 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement,
Ms. Lynch is entitled to (i) an annual base salary of $320,000, subject to increases as may be determined from time to time by the compensation
committee of the Board and (ii) an annual performance bonus up to 35% of annual base salary, subject to the achievement of objectives
as determined by the compensation committee of the Board. Ms. Lynch also received, under the Company’s 2014 Incentive Compensation
Plan, RSUs for 125,000 ordinary shares, which vested in four equal annual installments starting on the first anniversary of the date of
grant. The employment agreement may be terminated by the Company upon prior written notice. In the event that Ms. Lynch’s employment
is terminated for any reason other than for “cause” (as defined therein), the Company shall pay as severance pay or liquidated
damages or both, monthly payments at the rate per annum of her salary and bonus (and the replacement cost of her benefits) at the time
of such termination for a period from the date of such termination to the date which is six months after such termination. Ms. Lynch’s
employment agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and contains non-solicitation and non-competition covenants
(each of which remains in effect during the term of employment and for a period of 12 months following termination of employment) and
trade secrets and inventions clauses.
2021 Non-Equity Incentive Plan
All employees who have bonus features in their employment agreements,
including our Named Executive Officers, were eligible to participate in a non-equity incentive plan for fiscal year 2021, pursuant to
which employees were eligible to receive a bonus with respect to their performance in such year. Each employee’s target was equal
to a specified percentage of his or her base salary, and the actual bonus is paid based on the achievement of certain business and personal
performance objectives for the 2021 fiscal year. Not all goals needed to be met for an employee participant to receive a portion of the
bonus. The principal business performance objective under the non-equity incentive plan for 2021 was based on achieving specified financial
goals or milestones as set forth in the Compensation Policy as approved by the Company’s shareholders. These objectives were allocated
as 35% for revenue targets, 15% for product development and regulatory approval targets, 5% for market development targets, 10% for strategic
targets and 15% for cash management targets. A personal performance objective, which is subjective in nature, made up the remaining 20%.
If the target was met in all categories of the business performance
objective, 100% of the employee’s bonus was to be paid. If certain lower targets were met with respect to each of the different
targets, 50% of the employee’s bonus was to be paid. If targets are exceeded in all categories of the business performance objective,
150% of the bonus was to be paid.

Equity Compensation Plans
2014 Equity Incentive Plan
On August 19, 2014, we adopted the 2014 Plan, which was amended
and restated on June 18, 2020, and May 19, 2021. The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock awards, RSUs, cash-based awards, other stock-based awards and dividend equivalents to our company’s and our affiliates’
respective employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The reserved pool of shares under the 2014 Plan includes, in addition to
shares added to the pool, the number of shares available for issuance under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, our 2012 Israeli Sub Plan
and our 2006 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”) as of the effective date of the 2014 Plan (in an amount not
to exceed 5,124 shares). Generally, shares that are forfeited, cancelled, terminated or expire unexercised shall be available for issuance
under new awards. Generally, any shares tendered or withheld under the 2014 Plan to pay the exercise price, purchase price of an award,
or any withholding taxes shall not be available for issuance under new awards. Shares delivered pursuant to “substitute awards”
(awards granted in assumption or substitution of awards granted by a company acquired by us) shall not reduce the shares available for
issuance under the 2014 Plan. As of December 31, 2021, there were 1,652,073 ordinary shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2014
Plan, including options to purchase 61,832 ordinary shares and 1,356,284 ordinary shares underlying unvested RSUs, and 233,957 shares
available for future grants.
The 2014 Plan is administered by the compensation committee which
has authority in all matters related to the discharge of its responsibilities and the exercise of its authority under the plan. Awards
under the 2014 Plan may be granted until ten years after the date on which the 2014 Plan was approved by our shareholders.
The terms of options granted under the 2014 Plan, including the
exercise price, vesting provisions and the duration of an option, shall be determined by the compensation committee and set forth in an
award agreement, provided, however, that no option shall vest within the one year anniversary of the date of the grant of such award,
except that awards representing 5% of the Available Shares shall be permitted to vest within the one year anniversary of the date of the
grant of such award. Except as provided in the applicable award agreement, or in the discretion of the compensation committee, an option
may be exercised only to the extent that it is then exercisable and shall terminate immediately upon a termination of service of the grantee.
Stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) are awards entitling
a grantee to receive a payment representing the difference between the base price per share of the right and the fair market value of
a share on the date of exercise. SARs may be granted in tandem with an option or independent and unrelated to an option. The terms of
SARs granted under the 2014 Plan, including the base price per share, vesting provisions and the duration of an SAR, shall be determined
by the compensation committee and set forth in an award agreement. Except as provided in the applicable award agreement, or in the discretion
of the compensation committee, a SAR may be exercised only to the extent that it is then exercisable and shall terminate immediately upon
a termination of service of the grantee. At the discretion of the compensation committee, SARs will be payable in cash, ordinary shares
or equivalent value or some combination thereof.
Restricted stock awards are ordinary shares that are awarded to
a grantee subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions established by the compensation committee in the award agreement. Until
such time as the applicable restrictions lapse, restricted shares are subject to forfeiture and may not be sold, assigned, pledged or
otherwise disposed of by the grantee who holds those shares.
RSUs are awards covering a number of hypothetical units with respect
to shares that are granted subject to such vesting and transfer restrictions and conditions of payment as the compensation committee may
determine in an award agreement. RSUs are payable in cash, ordinary shares of equivalent value or a combination thereof.
The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of cash-based award and other
stock-based awards (which are equity-based or equity related award not otherwise described in the 2014 Plan). The terms of such cash-based
awards or other stock-based awards shall be determined by the compensation committee and set forth in an award agreement.
17
The compensation committee may grant dividend equivalents based
on the dividends declared on shares that are subject to any award. Dividend equivalents may be subject to any limitations and/or restrictions
determined by the compensation committee and shall be converted to cash or additional shares by such formula and at such time, and shall
be paid at such times, as may be determined by the compensation committee.
In the event of any dividend (excluding any ordinary dividend)
or other distribution, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, split-off,
combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or similar event (including a change in control) that affects the ordinary shares, the compensation
committee shall make any such adjustments in such manner as it may deem equitable, including, but not limited to, any or all of the following:
(i) adjusting the number of shares available for grant under the 2014 Plan, (ii) adjusting the terms of outstanding awards, (iii) providing
for a substitution or assumption of awards and (iv) cancelling awards in exchange for a payment in cash. In the event of a change of control
(except as otherwise provided by in the applicable award agreement), each outstanding award shall be either (i) honored or assumed, or
equivalent rights substituted therefor, by the new employer or (ii) all awards will terminate upon the change in control. In the event
of such termination, options and stock appreciation rights with time-based vesting shall become fully exercisable as of the change of
control and all other awards with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the
change of control and all awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals shall be deemed to vest
and become nonforfeitable as of the change of control assuming the higher of (a) achievement of all relevant performance goals at
the “target” level (prorated based upon the length of time within the performance period that elapsed prior to the change
of control) or (b) actual achievement as of the date of such change of control.
2014 U.S. Sub Plan
The 2014 U.S. Sub Plan applies to grantees that are subject to
U.S. federal income tax. The 2014 U.S. Sub Plan provides that options granted to the U.S. grantees will either be incentive stock options
pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or nonstatutory stock options. Options, other than certain incentive stock options
described below, must have an exercise price not less than 100% of the fair market value of an underlying share on the date of grant.
Incentive stock options that are not exercised within ten years from the grant date expire, provided that incentive stock options granted
to a person holding more than 10% of our voting power will expire within five years from the date of the grant and must have an exercise
price at least equal to 110% of the fair market value of an underlying share on the date of grant. The number of shares available under
the 2014 Plan for grants of incentive stock options shall be the total number of shares available under the 2014 Plan subject to any limitations
under the Internal Revenue Code and provided that shares delivered pursuant to “substitute awards” shall reduce the shares
available for issuance of incentive stock options under the 2014 Plan. It is the intention that no award shall be deferred compensation
subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code unless and to the extent that the compensation committee specifically determines
otherwise. If the compensation committee determines an award will be subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code such awards
shall be intended to comply in all respects with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and the 2014 Plan and the terms and conditions
of such awards shall be interpreted and administered accordingly.
2012 Equity Incentive Plan
On March 30, 2012, we adopted our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the
“2012 Plan”), which was approved by our shareholders on the same date. The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of options, restricted
shares, RSUs, share appreciation rights, performance units, performance shares and other shares or cash awards to our company’s
and our affiliates’ respective employees, directors and consultants. As of December 31, 2021, options to purchase 20,672 ordinary
shares were outstanding under the 2012 Plan. The 2012 Plan was terminated on August 19, 2014, although option awards outstanding as of
that date will continue in full force in accordance with the terms under which they were granted. In the event that any award shall for
any reason expire or terminate without having been exercised or paid in full, the shares not acquired shall revert to the 2014 Plan and
again become available for issuance. Following the termination of the 2012 Plan, awards may no longer be granted under the plan.
The 2012 Plan is administered by our Board, unless and until the
Board delegates administration to a committee, which shall determine the grantees of awards and the terms of the grant, including, exercise
prices, vesting schedules, acceleration of vesting and the other matters necessary in the administration of the 2012 Plan. Awards under
the 2012 Plan may be granted until ten years after the date on which the 2012 Plan was approved by our shareholders.
18
Options granted under the 2012 Plan are either incentive share
options pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or nonstatutory share options. Options generally vest as determined by the
board or committee. Options, other than certain incentive share options described below, must have an exercise price not less than 100%
of the fair market value of an underlying share on the date of grant. Options, other than certain incentive share options described below,
that are not exercised within ten years from the grant date expire, unless otherwise determined by our Board or its designated committee,
as applicable. Incentive share options granted to a person holding more than 10% of our voting power will expire within five years from
the date of the grant and must have an exercise price at least equal to 110% of the fair market value of an underlying share on the date
of grant. Unless otherwise provided in an option agreement, in the event of termination of employment or services for reasons of disability
or death, the grantee, or in the case of death, his or her legal successor, may generally exercise options that have vested prior to termination
within a period of one year from the date of disability or death (or the expiration of the term of the option, if earlier). If a grantee’s
employment or service is terminated for any other reason, the grantee may generally exercise his or her vested options within 90 days
of the date of termination (or the expiration of the term of the option, if earlier).
Share appreciation rights are awards entitling a grantee to receive
a payment representing the difference between the base price per share of the right and the fair market value of a share on the date of
exercise subject to any terms or conditions as the board or committee may determine in the award agreement. Share appreciation rights
are payable in cash, shares of equivalent value or a combination thereof.
Restricted share awards are ordinary shares that are awarded to
a grantee subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions established by the board or committee in the award agreement. Until
such time as the applicable restrictions lapse, restricted shares are subject to forfeiture and may not be sold, assigned, pledged or
otherwise disposed of by the participant who holds those shares.
RSUs are awards covering a number of hypothetical units with respect
to shares that are granted subject to such vesting and transfer restrictions and conditions of payment as the board or committee may determine.
RSUs are payable in cash, shares of equivalent value or a combination thereof.
Performance share awards are awards denominated in shares which
may be earned in whole or part upon attainment of performance goals or other vesting criteria as the board or committee may determine.
Performance units are awards covering a number of hypothetical
units with respect to shares that may be earned in whole or in part upon attainment of performance goals or other vesting criteria as
the board or committee may determine. Performance units are payable in cash, shares of equivalent value or a combination thereof.
Awards under the 2012 Plan may be made subject to performance goals
relating to one or more business criteria and may provide for a targeted level or levels of achievement.
In the event that any change is made to the shares without consideration
to the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, share dividend or similar event), the class and number
of shares available for issuance, maximum award limits and any outstanding awards under the 2012 Plan will be appropriately adjusted.
In the event of a change in control, either (i) the surviving entity may assume and continue outstanding awards (or substitute similar
awards) in all or in part or (ii) if the surviving entity does not assume and continue awards (or substitute similar awards), unvested
awards will be forfeited and vested awards shall terminate if not exercised at or prior to the change in control. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event of a change in control, the board, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of any or all awards, in whole
or in part.
19
2012 Israeli Sub Plan
The 2012 Israeli Sub Plan provides for the grant by us of awards
pursuant to Sections 102 and 3(i) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (the “Ordinance”) and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. The 2012 Israeli Sub Plan provides for options and share awards to be granted to our or our affiliates’ employees, directors
and officers who are not “Controlling Shareholders,” as defined in the Ordinance, and who are considered Israeli residents,
to the extent that such options or awards either are (i) intended to qualify for special tax treatment under the “capital gains
track” provisions of Section 102(b)(2) of the Ordinance or (ii) not intended to qualify for such special tax treatment. The 2012
Israeli Sub Plan also provides for the grant of options under Section 3(i) of the Ordinance to our Israeli non-employee service providers
and controlling shareholders, who are not eligible for such special tax treatment.
2012 U.S. Sub Plan
The 2012 U.S. Sub Plan applies to grants to participants who are
citizens or residents of the United States on the date of grant of an award. Under the 2012 U.S. Sub Plan, the Board may require a participant
to represent that he or she is acquiring securities for investment purposes and without a view to distribution thereof. Shares will not
be issued under the U.S. Sub Plan unless the issuance complies with the requirements of any stock exchange on which the shares are then
listed or quoted, any securities or tax laws and all other applicable laws. All shares delivered under the U.S. Sub Plan will be subject
to such transfer orders and other restrictions as our Board may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of
any stock exchange upon which the shares are then listed and any applicable laws. Our obligations under the U.S. Sub Plan will be conditioned
on the payment by the participant of all applicable withholding taxes.
The U.S. Sub Plan contains provisions relating solely to participants
located in California, which generally provide that in the event of termination of employment or services for reasons of disability or
death, the participant, or in the case of death, his or her legal successor, may generally exercise options that have vested prior to
termination within a period of six months from the date of disability or death (or the expiration of the term of the option, if earlier).
If a participant’s employment or service is terminated for any other reason, the grantee may generally exercise his or her vested
options within 30 days of the date of termination (or the expiration of the term of the option, if earlier).
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
See “Executive Compensation — Employment Agreements.”
We have adopted, pursuant to shareholder approval, our Compensation
Policy, which provides for certain benefits to our executive officers upon retirement or termination, whether or not in the event of a
change in control. We may memorialize any of these benefits in arrangements we enter into with individual executive officers. Under the
Compensation Policy, executive officers may be entitled to advance notice of termination of up to 12 months and to obtain up to 12 months
of post-termination health insurance. In addition to receiving severance pay as required or facilitated under the local laws of the relevant
jurisdiction, executive officers may have the right to receive up to 12 months of base salary (18 months in the case of the CEO), bonus
and benefits, taking into account the period of the officer’s service or employment, his or her performance during employment and
contribution to the Company’s targets and profits and the circumstances surrounding termination of his or her employment. These
benefits are designed to attract and motivate highly skilled professionals to join our Company and to enable us in to retain key management.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of the members of the compensation committee is, or has ever
been, an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, during the last fiscal year, no executive officer
of the Company served as a member of the board of directors or the compensation committee of another entity that has one or more executive
officers serving on the Company’s compensation committee or the Board.

is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table found elsewhere in this Amendment No. 1.

Cash compensation for our independent, non-employee directors’
services is governed by previous decisions of our compensation committee, Board and shareholders. Additionally, each independent, non-employee
director currently receives upon his or her appointment RSUs to purchase ordinary shares, with such RSUs having a value based on the Black-Scholes
model equal to $50,000 on the date of grant and an annual grant of RSUs to purchase ordinary shares, with such RSUs having a value based
on the Black-Scholes model equal to $50,000 on the date of grant, all of which vest ratably in four equal quarterly installments starting
three months from the date of grant with the vesting of such RSUs to be accelerated upon certain change of control events in accordance
with the Company’s standard policy. At our 2020 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Compensation
Policy whereby all or a portion of our directors cash compensation may be paid in equity, at the discretion of our compensation committee
in order to preserve the Company’s cash, and to provide that equity compensation of directors will be payable in the first instance
in RSUs but such compensation may also be payable, at the discretion of our compensation committee, in cash, based on a formula to be
determined and with such payment provisions as shall result in the equivalent effect of vesting of RSUs, in order to preserve the equity
available for incentives.
In addition, each director is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses
in connection with attending meetings of the Board or committees. Directors are also indemnified and insured by us for actions associated
with being a director to the extent permitted under Israeli law. For further discussion, see “Item 13—Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions and Director Independence—Agreements with Directors and Officers.” Further, none of our non-employee
directors receive any benefits upon termination of their directorship positions. Our non-employee directors are eligible to receive awards
under certain of our equity compensation plans described above under “Equity Compensation Plans.” The compensation committee
reviews director compensation annually and makes recommendations to the Board with respect to compensation and benefits provided to the
members of the Board.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP
OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
As of April 22, 2022, there were
62,508,517 ordinary shares outstanding, excluding ordinary shares issuable in connection with the exercise of outstanding warrants or
outstanding options or upon the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The voting rights of all shareholders are the
same.
The following table sets forth certain information as of April
22, 2022 concerning the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by:
| (1) |
each person, or group of affiliated persons, known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares;
|
| (2) |
each of our directors and director nominees; |
| (3) |
each of our Named Executive Officers (as defined under “Summary Compensation Table” below); and |
| (4) |
all of our directors and executive officers as a group. |
22
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules
of the SEC based on voting and investment power with respect to such shares. Shares subject to options or warrants that are currently
exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 22, 2022 and shares subject to RSUs that were vested as of or will vest within 60 days
of April 22, 2022 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding such options, RSUs or warrants for the
purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person. However, such shares are not deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially
owned for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
Under the terms of the terms of certain outstanding warrants, a
holder may not exercise the warrants to the extent that such shareholder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own, after
such exercise, more than 4.99% or 9.99% of the ordinary shares then outstanding, as applicable (subject to the right of the shareholder
with a 4.99% ownership limitation to increase or decrease such beneficial ownership limitation upon notice to us, provided that such limitation
cannot exceed 9.99%), and provided that any increase in the beneficial ownership limitation shall not be effective until 61 days after
such notice is delivered. Consistent with beneficial ownership reporting principles under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the below
table only shows ordinary shares underlying warrants that are deemed to be beneficially owned, assuming compliance with these ownership
limitations.
All information with respect to the beneficial ownership of any
principal shareholder has been furnished by such shareholder or is based on our filings with the SEC and, unless otherwise indicated below,
we believe that persons named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all the ordinary shares shown as
beneficially owned, subject to community property laws, where applicable. The ordinary shares beneficially owned by our directors and
officers may include shares owned by their respective family members, as to which such directors and officers disclaim beneficial ownership.
Unless otherwise noted below, each shareholder’s address is c/o ReWalk Robotics Ltd., 3 Hatnufa Street, Floor 6, Yokneam Ilit 2069203,
Israel.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS
AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Director Independence
The information required by Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K is incorporated by reference
herein from Item 10 above as set forth under the caption “Director Independence.”
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
See “Item 11. Executive Compensation —Employment Agreements
of Named Executive Officers” for a description of employment agreements between us and the Named Executive Officers.
See “Corporate Governance — Approval of Related Party
Transactions Under Israeli Law” for a discussion of our policies and procedures related to related party transactions and conflicts
of interest.
We describe below transactions and series of similar transactions
which are currently proposed or to which we have been or were a party since January 1, 2020, in which (a) the amount involved exceeds
or exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at year-end for the last two completed
fiscal years and (b) any of our directors, executive officers, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our ordinary shares, or any affiliates
or members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Although
we do not have a formal written policy as to the approval of related party transactions, all related party transactions for which disclosure
would be required under Item 404 of Regulation S-K are approved based on procedures under Israeli law, as is duly memorialized in the
minutes of the meetings of the Board and audit committee, as applicable.
Agreements with Affiliates of SCP Vitalife
Partners and/or Yaskawa
Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Rights Agreement
On July 14, 2014, we entered into an Amended and Restated
Shareholders’ Rights Agreement (the “Shareholders’ Rights Agreement”), with entities affiliated with SCP Vitalife
Partners II, which are controlled by our directors Messrs. Dykan and Weisman, Yaskawa Electric Corporation (“Yaskawa”), where
our directors Messrs. Ichiki and Dan are employed, and other entities and shareholders that are no longer related parties. The Shareholders’
Rights Agreement provided the shareholders party to it holding our ordinary shares with certain registration rights. All registration
rights terminated in 2019 on the fifth anniversary of the closing of our IPO.
25
Agreements with Yaskawa
On September 24, 2013, we entered into a Strategic Alliance
Agreement with Yaskawa. Pursuant to the Strategic Alliance Agreement, we and Yaskawa will collaborate in the following areas, among others:
| • |
marketing, distribution and commercialization of our products by Yaskawa, subject to a separate distribution agreement; |
| • |
marketing and distribution of future Yaskawa healthcare equipment products by us in the scope of our sales network; and |
| • |
improvement and quality control of our products by applying Yaskawa’s know-how and expertise in motion control and robotics.
|
The Strategic Alliance Agreement also provides for the creation
of a joint steering committee to meet quarterly to review, among other things, sales targets for our products by Yaskawa, opportunities
for us to sell Yaskawa products, possibilities for quality improvements to our products by applying Yaskawa’s expertise and future
research and development for our products. In the future, subject to any necessary regulatory clearance, we are entitled to market and
sell certain of Yaskawa’s products currently under development, which consist of complementary products to ReWalk, in the United
States and Europe. While the terms of any such arrangement, including with respect to any compensation we may receive, have not yet been
agreed, we expect that any such compensation would take the form of a percentage discount off of each product’s list price or another
customary arrangement. The term of the agreement is ten years, but it may be terminated by either party after seven years or upon 60 days’
notice in the event of an uncured default under the agreement.
On September 24, 2013, we and Yaskawa also entered into an
Exclusive Distribution Agreement which provides that Yaskawa will be our exclusive distributor in Japan, China (including Hong Kong and
Macau), Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand. In addition, (i) if we desire to sell any exoskeleton products into any regional
market in the Asian and Pacific regions (other than Australia, New Zealand or India), Yaskawa will have a right of first refusal to serve
as distributor in those markets, subject to an agreement on minimum purchase requirements, and (ii) if we offer pricing to any other distributor
better than what we offer Yaskawa, Yaskawa will be entitled to that pricing. The initial term of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement
is ten years. Either party may terminate the agreement upon 90 days’ written notice after seven years or upon an event of default
under the agreement or a bankruptcy event of the other party. Through December 30, 2018, Yaskawa had paid us an aggregate of approximately
$1,077,000 pursuant to the exclusive distribution agreement, $303,000 of which was paid since January 1, 2017. In connection with
the closing of the first tranche of the private placement of the Investment Agreement with Timwell Corporation Limited (“Timwell”),
we entered into an amendment to this Exclusive Distribution Agreement to terminate the distribution rights granted to Yaskawa in China
(including Hong Kong and Macau), and in return we agreed to pay Yaskawa an amount equal to 3% of the net revenues we receive between April 1,
2018 and December 31, 2023 from the sale in China of our spinal cord injury line, but not less than an aggregate amount of $75,000.
On June 25, 2020 we delivered a written notice that we would terminate this agreement at the end of the seven year term, and such termination
occurred on September 24, 2020.
Investment Agreement with Timwell
Mr. Chunlin Han was a member of our Board until April 7, 2020,
serving as a designee of Timwell. Mr. Han’s father controls Timwell and Mr. Han’s parents indirectly control Timwell
affiliate Realcan Ambrum.
On March 6, 2018, we entered into an investment agreement
(the “Investment Agreement”) for a private placement of 640,000 ordinary shares to Timwell, a Hong Kong entity, in exchange
for total aggregate proceeds of $20.0 million at a price of $31.25 per share, and a joint venture framework agreement (the “JV
Framework Agreement”) for a related joint venture in China. For more information, see “Part II. Item 7. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Timwell Private Placement”
in our 2021 Annual Report and “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Timwell Private Placement” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on November 10, 2020. Timwell agreed to make the investment in three
separate tranches, consisting of $5.0 million for 160,000 shares in the first tranche, $10.0 million for 320,000 shares
in the second tranche and $5.0 million for 160,000 shares in the third tranche. As a result of Timwell’s notification
that it would not invest the second and third tranches under the Investment Agreement, on April 7, 2020, our Board removed Mr. Chunlin
Han, Timwell’s designee, from the Board.

Agreements with Directors, Officers and Others
Employment Agreements
We have entered into written employment agreements with each of
our executive officers. These agreements provide for notice periods of varying duration for termination of the agreement by us or by the
relevant executive officer, during which time the executive officer will continue to receive base salary and benefits. We have also entered
into customary non-competition, confidentiality of information and ownership of inventions arrangements with our executive officers. However,
the enforceability of the noncompetition provisions may be limited under applicable law.
Options
Since our inception we have granted options to purchase our ordinary
shares to our officers and certain of our directors. Such option agreements may contain acceleration provisions upon certain merger, acquisition,
or change of control transactions. We describe our option plans above under “Equity Compensation Plan Information.”
Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance
Our Articles of Association permit us to exculpate, indemnify and
insure certain of our office holders to the fullest extent permitted by the Israel Companies Law. We have entered into indemnification
agreements with our office holders, exculpating them from a breach of their duty of care to us to the fullest extent permitted by law
and undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to certain exceptions, including with respect to liabilities
resulting from our IPO to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by insurance.
27
Approval of Related Party Transactions Under Israeli Law
Disclosure of Personal Benefits or Other Interests
of an Office Holder and Approval of Certain Transactions
The Israel Companies Law requires that an office holder promptly
disclose to the board of directors any personal benefit or other interest that he or she may have, and all related material information
or documents, concerning any existing or proposed transaction with the company. A personal benefit or other interest includes the individual’s
own benefit or other interest and, in some cases, a personal benefit or other interest of such person’s relative or an entity in
which such individual, or his or her relative, is a 5% or greater shareholder, director or general manager, or in which he or she has
the right to appoint at least one director or the general manager, but does not include a personal benefit or other interest stemming
only from ownership of our shares.
If an office holder has a personal benefit or other interest in
a transaction, approval by the board of directors is required for the transaction. Once an office holder has disclosed his or her personal
benefit or other interest in a transaction, the board of directors may approve an action by the office holder that would otherwise be
deemed a breach of duty of loyalty. A company may not, however, approve a transaction or action unless it is in the best interests of
the company, or if the office holder is not acting in good faith.
Special approval is required for an extraordinary transaction,
which under the Israel Companies Law is defined as any of the following:
| • |
a transaction other than in the ordinary course of business; |
| • |
a transaction that is not on market terms; or |
| • |
a transaction that may have a material impact on a company’s profitability, assets or liabilities. |
An extraordinary transaction in which an office holder has a personal
benefit or other interest requires approval first by the company’s audit committee and subsequently by the board of directors. The
compensation of, or an undertaking to indemnify or insure, an office holder who is not a director requires approval first by the company’s
compensation committee, then by the company’s board of directors and, if such compensation arrangement or an undertaking to indemnify
or insure is inconsistent with the Company’s compensation policy or if the office holder is the Chief Executive Officer (apart from
a number of specific exceptions), then such arrangement is subject to shareholder approval by a simple majority, which must also include
at least a majority of the shares voted by all shareholders who are neither controlling shareholders nor have a personal benefit or other
interest in such compensation arrangement (alternatively, in addition to a simple majority, the total number of shares voted against the
compensation arrangement by non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal benefit or other interest in the
arrangement may not exceed 2% of our outstanding shares). We refer to this as the “Special Approval for Compensation”. Arrangements
regarding the compensation, indemnification or insurance of a director require the approval of the compensation committee, board of directors
and shareholders by a simple majority, in that order, and under certain circumstances, a Special Approval for Compensation.
Generally, a person who has a personal benefit or other interest
in a matter that is considered at a meeting of the board of directors or the audit committee may not be present at such a meeting or vote
on that matter unless the chairman of the board of directors or the audit committee (as applicable) determines that he or she should be
present in order to present the transaction that is subject to approval. If a majority of the members of the board of directors or the
audit committee (as applicable) have a personal benefit or other interest in the approval of a transaction, then all directors may participate
in discussions of the board of directors or the audit committee (as applicable) on such transaction and in the voting, but shareholder
approval is also required for such transaction.
28
Disclosure of Personal Benefits or Other Interests
of Controlling Shareholders and Approval of Certain Transactions
Pursuant to the Israel Companies Law, the disclosure requirements
regarding personal benefits or other interests that apply to directors and executive officers also apply to a controlling shareholder
of a public company. In this context, a controlling shareholder includes a shareholder who holds 25% or more of our outstanding shares
if no other shareholder holds more than 50% of our outstanding shares. For this purpose, the holdings of all shareholders who have a personal
benefit or other interest in the same transaction will be aggregated. The approval of the audit committee, the board of directors and
the shareholders of the company, in that order, is required for (a) extraordinary transactions with a controlling shareholder or in which
a controlling shareholder has a personal benefit or other interest, (b) our engagement with a controlling shareholder or his or her relative,
directly or indirectly, for the provision of services to us, (c) the terms of engagement and compensation of a controlling shareholder
or his or her relative who is not an office holder or (d) our employment of a controlling shareholder or his or her relative, other than
as an office holder. In addition to shareholder approval by a simple majority, the transaction must be approved by a Special Majority.
To the extent that any such transaction with a controlling shareholder
is for a period extending beyond three years, approval is required once every three years, unless, with respect to certain transactions,
the audit committee determines that the duration of the transaction is reasonable under the circumstances.
Arrangements regarding the compensation, indemnification or insurance
of a controlling shareholder in his or her capacity as an office holder require the approval of the compensation committee, board of directors
and shareholders, in that order, by a Special Majority, and the terms must be consistent with our Compensation Policy.
Pursuant to regulations promulgated under the Israel Companies
Law, certain transactions with a controlling shareholder or his or her relative, or with directors, that would otherwise require approval
of our shareholders may be exempt from shareholder approval upon certain determinations of the audit committee and board of directors.
Under these regulations, we must publish these determinations, and a shareholder holding at least 1% of our outstanding shares may, within
14 days of after publication, demand shareholder approval despite such determinations.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The audit committee has adopted a pre-approval policy for the engagement
of our independent accountant to perform certain audit and non-audit services. Pursuant to this policy, which is designed to ensure that
such engagements do not impair the independence of our auditors, the audit committee pre-approves annually a catalog of specific audit
and non-audit services in the categories of audit service, audit-related service and tax services that may be performed by our independent
accountants.
All engagements by us of the auditors for 2020 and 2021 were pre-approved
by the audit committee.
