Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On October 6, 2023, ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (“ReWalk” or
the “Company”) was notified by the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that, based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5550(a) (the “Bid Price Rule”) as of October 5, 2023, the Company’s securities were subject to delisting unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company plans to request a hearing before
the Panel, which will stay any further action by Nasdaq at least until the Company’s hearing before the Panel and the expiration of any extension the Panel may grant to the Company following the hearing. The Company’s securities will continue to
trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “RWLK” at least pending the conclusion of the Nasdaq hearing process.
At the hearing, the Company will present its plan to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. The Company plans to request an extension
to allow for additional time for the finalization and implementation of the home health rule administrative proposal by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (“CMS”) that explicitly would include exoskeletons within a Medicare benefit category. Finalization and implementation of this rule could help to significantly expand the Company’s addressable market in the United States for its
personal exoskeleton product. Based on historical experience, the Company expects the final rule to be published in November 2023 and to take effect on January 1, 2024. The Company’s compliance plan may also include the implementation of a reverse stock split should such action be deemed necessary to maintain the Company’s listing on Nasdaq. There can be no assurance, however, that
the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or that the Company will evidence compliance with the Bid Price Rule prior to the expiration of any extension that may be granted by the Panel.
As previously disclosed, on October 10, 2022, the Staff notified the Company that it failed to satisfy the minimum $1.00 closing bid
price threshold for the previous 30-consecutive business day period. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company was granted two consecutive 180-calendar day grace periods to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, which
ultimately expired on October 5, 2023. The Company did not regain compliance by October 5, 2023, which resulted in the Staff’s issuance of the October 6, 2023, determination.
For more information regarding the consequences of a potential delisting, see “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2023, as amended on May 1, 2023.
Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements may include projections regarding
ReWalk’s future performance and other statements that are not statements of historical fact and, in some cases, may be identified by words like “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,”
“potential,” “predict,” “project,” “future,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “seek” and similar terms or phrases. For example, statements regarding ReWalk’s intent or ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement are
forward-looking, and there can be no assurance that ReWalk will regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or otherwise meet Nasdaq compliance standards in the future, that the Company will file timely for a hearing with Nasdaq, or
that Nasdaq will grant ReWalk any relief from delisting as necessary or whether ReWalk can ultimately meet applicable Nasdaq requirements for any such relief. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on management’s current
expectations, which are subject to uncertainty, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of ReWalk’s control. Important factors that could cause ReWalk’s actual results to differ materially from
those indicated in the forward-looking statements are more fully discussed in ReWalk’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in ReWalk’s annual
report on Form 10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC and other documents subsequently filed with or furnished to the SEC. Any forward-looking statement made in this report speaks only as of the date hereof. Factors
or events that could cause ReWalk’s actual results to differ from the statements contained herein may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for ReWalk to predict all of them. Except as required by law, ReWalk undertakes no obligation to
publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
