| c. | The Company is a medical device company that designs, develops, and commercializes life-changing solutions that span the continuum of care in physical rehabilitation and recovery, delivering proven functional and health benefits in clinical settings as well as in the home and community. The Company’s initial product offerings were the ReWalk Personal and ReWalk Rehabilitation Exoskeleton devices for individuals with spinal cord injury (collectively, the “SCI Products”). These devices are robotic exoskeletons that are designed for individuals with paraplegia that use the Company’s patented tilt-sensor technology and an on-board computer and motion sensors to drive motorized legs that power movement. These SCI Products allow individuals with spinal cord injury the ability to stand and walk again during everyday activities at home or in the community. |
| --- | --- |
The Company has sought to expand its product offerings beyond the SCI Products through internal development and distribution agreements. The Company has developed its ReStore Exo-Suit device (the “ReStore”), which it began commercializing in June 2019. The ReStore is a powered, lightweight soft exo-suit intended for use during the rehabilitation of individuals with lower limb disabilities due to stroke. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company signed an agreement to be the exclusive distributor of the MYOLYN MyoCycle FES Pro cycles to U.S. rehabilitation clinics and for the MyoCycle Home cycles available to US veterans through VA hospitals.
On August 11, 2023, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger among LI, AlterG, Inc., Atlas Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AlterG, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, dated August 8, 2023, LI acquired AlterG, Inc. and AlterG, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. With the rebranding of the Company, AlterG, Inc. was renamed as LCAI.

The Company markets and sells its products directly to institutions and individuals and through third-party distributors. The Company sells its products directly primarily in the United States, through a combination (depending on the product line) of direct sales and distributors in Germany, Canada, and Australia, and primarily through distributors in other markets. In its direct markets, the Company has established relationships with clinics and rehabilitation centers, professional and college sports teams, and individuals and organizations in the spinal cord injury community, and in its indirect markets, the Company’s distributors maintain these relationships.
| d. | As of June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a consolidated net loss of $11.4 million and had an accumulated deficit in the total amount of $276.2 million. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 totaled $5.1 million and the Company’s negative operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $9.4 million. |
|---|
The Company's expectation to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows in the future and the need for additional funding to support our planned operations raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Management currently estimates that the Company's cash will fund its operations into the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company's ability to continue to operate is dependent upon raising additional funds to finance its activities. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to complete such financings on acceptable terms or in amounts sufficient to continue operating the business under the operating plan. In the event that the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital, management’s contingency plans may include various cost reductions and operational efficiency measures unrelated to the Company’s product development activities. These conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments with respect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their classification that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF ESTIMATES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The Company’s interim period results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the 2024 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). There have been no changes in the significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, included in the 2024 Form 10-K, unless otherwise stated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company’s management evaluates estimates, including those related to inventories, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, revenue recognition, deferred revenue, fair values of share-based awards, contingent liabilities, provision for warranty and allowance for credit losses. Such estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other assets, trade payables and accrued expenses and other liabilities, are stated at their carrying value which approximates their fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment.
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured in fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

| Financial Liabilities: | |||||
| Earnout | Level 3 | $ | - | $ | 608 |
| Total liabilities measured at fair value | $ | - | $ | 608 |
The Company classifies cash equivalents within Level 1, because the Company uses quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs to determine their fair values.
The goodwill impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2025 was estimated using the Company's stock price, a Level 1 input, adjusted for an estimated control premium. Refer to Note 3f for further details.
The estimated fair value of the earnout is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation analysis are assumptions related to projected revenues, expected term, volatility, annual revenue yield and interest rate. The interest rate is based on the U.S. Technology B bond yield.

Earnout payments
The Company will pay an amount of cash equal to 65% of the amount, if any, by which LCAI revenue attributable to the first 12 months period exceeds revenue target ("first earnout payment"), and an amount in cash equal to 65% of the amount, if any, by which LCAI revenue attributable to the following 12 months period exceeds its revenue target. However, the company did not meet the revenue target for the first year of the earnout, and as a result, no payment was be made for the first year. At the date of acquisition, management estimated fair value of the earnout payment based on the actual up to date performance of the acquired entity and the probability of the earn out payment occurrence to be at approximately $3.6 million. The earnout was accounted for as a liability and will be remeasured at each reporting period through consolidated statement of operations.
As the revenue target for the first earnout payment was not met, no earnout payment was made for the first earnout period.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company determined that the performance targets for the remaining earnout period will not be met and, accordingly, the Company eliminated the entire earnout liability.
| b. | Revenue Recognition |
|---|
The Company generates revenues from sales of products. The Company sells its products directly to end customers and through distributors. The Company sells its products to clinics and rehabilitation centers, professional and college sports teams, private individuals (who finance the purchases by themselves, through fundraising or reimbursement coverage from insurance companies), and distributors.

Product revenue
Revenue from Products sold to rehabilitation facilities and end users is recognized at a point in time once the customer has obtained the legal title to the items purchased.
For ReWalk and ReStore systems sold to rehabilitation facilities, the Company provides an immaterial level of training and considers the elements in the arrangement to be a single performance obligation. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue for the system and training only after delivery in accordance with the agreement's delivery terms to the customer and after the training has been completed.
For sales of ReWalk systems to end users, the Company does not provide training to the end user as this training is provided separately by the rehabilitation center that the end user chooses to use. Similarly, for sales of ReWalk systems to third party distributors, the Company does not provide training to the distributor because the distributor would previously have completed the ReWalk Training program. Therefore, in both cases the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery.
The Company generally does not grant a right of return for its products. In the rare circumstances when the Company provides a right of return for its products, the Company records reductions to revenue for expected future product returns based on the Company’s historical experience and estimates.
The Company offered five products: (1) ReWalk Personal, (2) ReWalk Rehabilitation, (3) AlterG Anti-Gravity system, (4) MyoCycle, and (5) ReStore.
F - 9
LIFEWARD LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
ReWalk Personal and ReWalk Rehabilitation are SCI Products, which are currently designed for everyday use by paraplegic individuals at home and in their communities. SCI Products are custom fitted for each user, as well as for use by paraplegic patients in the clinical rehabilitation environment, where they provide individuals access to valuable exercise and therapy. ReWalk Rehabilitation is a ReWalk Personal product sold with multiple sizes of the Company’s adjustable parts to allow different users the ability to train within a clinic.
With the recent establishment of a Medicare reimbursement pathway for the ReWalk product, the Company includes variable consideration in the form of implicit price concessions if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. The Company reassesses variable consideration at each reporting period and, if necessary, these estimates are adjusted to reflect the anticipated amounts to be collected when those facts and circumstances become known.
The AlterG Anti-Gravity systems are used in physical and neurological rehabilitation and athletic training, both domestically and internationally. This transformative technology uses patented, NASA-derived DAP technology to reduce the effects of gravity and allow people to move with finely calibrated support and reduced pain.
The ReStore is a powered, lightweight soft exo-suit intended for use in the rehabilitation of individuals with lower limb disability due to stroke in the clinical rehabilitation environment.
The Company also sells the MyoCycle, which uses Functional Electrical Stimulation (“FES”) technology, in the United States for use at home or in clinic.
Lease revenue
Rental revenue for the AlterG Anti-Gravity systems is accounted for under ASC Topic 842, Leases. The Company rents its products to customers for a fixed monthly fee over the rental term, which typically ranges from 2 to 3 years. Rental revenues are recorded as earned on a monthly basis.
The Company also offers the SCI Products in a rent-to-purchase model in which the Company recognizes revenue ratably according to the agreed rental monthly fee for a limited period prior to selling its products.
Service and warranties
The Company services its products after expiration of the initial warranty. Service revenue, consisting of time and materials to perform the repairs, is recorded as services are rendered, which corresponds with the period in which the related expenses are incurred.
Warranties are classified as either an assurance type or a service type warranty. A warranty is considered an assurance type warranty if it provides the customer with assurance that the product will function as intended for a limited period of time. An assurance type warranty is not accounted for as a separate performance obligation under the revenue model.
In recent years, SCI Products have included a five-year warranty. The first two years are considered as an assurance type warranty and the additional period is considered an extended service arrangement, which is a service type warranty. A service type warranty is either sold with a unit or separately for a unit for which the warranty has expired. A service type warranty is accounted as a separate performance obligation and revenue is recognized ratably over the life of the warranty. With the recent establishment of a Medicare reimbursement pathway, the Company will offer its SCI Products to qualified Medicare beneficiaries with a two-year assurance type warranty only.
The ReStore device is sold with a two-year warranty which is considered as assurance type warranty.
The Distributed Product is sold with an assurance type warranty ranging from between one year to ten years, depending on the specific product and part.
For AlterG Anti-Gravity Products, the Company offers extended warranty contracts that provide the technical support, parts, and labor coverage offered as part of the base warranty to the period after the base warranty has expired. Extended warranty revenue is recognized ratably over the extended warranty coverage period. The Company offers a one-year assurance type warranty to customers in the U.S. and two years assurance type warranty for spare parts only to its international distributors. For these products, the Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately.

The below table reflects the concentration of credit risk for the Company’s current customers as of June 30, 2025, to which substantial sales were made:
| June 30, | December 31, | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||
| Customer A | 43 | % | 40 | % |
The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of accounts. The Company regularly assessed collectability based on a combination of factors, including an assessment of the current customer’s aging balance, the nature and size of the customer, the financial condition of the customer, and future expected economic conditions. Trade receivables deemed uncollectable are charged against the allowance for credit losses when identified. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, trade receivables are presented net of allowance for credit losses in the amount of $0.2 million.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded provisions for doubtful accounts of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $0.3 million for the three-month period and $0.6 million for the six-month period.
| d. | Warranty provision |
|---|
For assurance-type warranty, the Company records a provision for the estimated cost to repair or replace products under warranty at the time of sale. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty reserve include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty repairs and the cost per repair.

| --- | --- |
Basic and diluted net loss per share was the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all potential shares of ordinary shares and warrants outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.
As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the total number of ordinary shares related to the outstanding warrants and share option plans aggregated to 8,933,352 and 2,503,297, respectively, was excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per ordinary share since it would have an anti-dilutive effect.
| f. | Goodwill and acquired intangible assets |
|---|
Goodwill has been recorded in the Company's financial statements resulting from various business combinations. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test.
The Company currently has one reporting unit.
ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and other (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually and, in certain circumstances, between annual tests. The accounting guidance gives the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The qualitative assessment considers events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative test is performed. The Company elects to perform an annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31 of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded Goodwill impairment in the amount of $2.8 million. Refer to Note 5 for further details.
| g. | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
|---|
The Company’s long-lived assets, including right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets (or asset group) to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
| h. | Restricted cash and Other long-term assets: |
|---|
Other long-term assets include long-term prepaid expenses and restricted cash deposits for offices and cars leasing based upon the term of the remaining restrictions.

NOTE 5: GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
The Company has $7.5 million of goodwill related to its purchase of LCAI in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, which has an indefinite life, and is not deductible for tax purposes.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill (in thousands):
| US Dollars in thousands | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $ | 7,538 | |
| Goodwill impairment | (2,783 | ) | |
| Balance as of June 30, 2025 | $ | 4,755 |
The Company periodically analyzes whether any indicators of goodwill impairment have occurred. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company experienced a decline in its stock price resulting in its market capitalization being less than the carrying value of its one reporting unit. Thus, the Company performed quantitative assessments of the Company’s reporting unit. The fair value was determined based on the market approach. The market approach utilizes the Company's market capitalization plus an appropriate control premium. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying the number of common stock outstanding by the market price of its common stock. The control premium is determined by utilizing publicly available data from studies for similar transactions of public companies.
As a result of this assessment, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $2.8 million as of June 30, 2025.
The carrying amounts of intangible assets were fully impaired as of December 31, 2024.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Such events and changes may include significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, significant changes in asset use, significant negative industry or economic trends, and changes in the Company’s business strategy. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of long-lived assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. There were no impairment charges to long-lived assets during the periods presented.
NOTE 6: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
| a. | Purchase commitments: |

| c. | Royalties |
|---|
The Company’s research and development efforts are financed, in part, through funding from the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”). Since the Company’s inception through June 30, 2025, the Company received funding from the IIA in the total amount of $2.8 million. Out of the $2.8 million in funding from the IIA, a total amount of $1.6 million were royalty-bearing grants, $0.4 million was received in consideration of 209 convertible preferred A shares, which converted after the Company’s initial public offering in September 2014 into ordinary shares in a conversion ratio of 1 to 1, while $0.8 million was received without future obligation. The Company is obligated to pay royalties to the IIA, amounting to 3% of the sales of the products and other related revenues generated from such projects, up to 100% of the grants received. The royalty payment obligations also bear interest at the SOFR rate. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of the applicable products and in the absence of such sales, no payment is required.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company paid royalties to the IIA in the total amount of $0.1 million.
Royalties expenses in cost of revenue were $8 and $2 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025, the contingent liability to the IIA amounted to $1.6 million. The Israeli Research and Development Law provides that know-how developed under an approved research and development program may not be transferred to third parties without the approval of the IIA. Such approval is not required for the sale or export of any products resulting from such research or development. The IIA, under special circumstances, may approve the transfer of IIA-funded know-how outside Israel, in the following cases:

NOTE 7: SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
| a. | Reverse share split: |
|---|
At the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved (i) a reverse share split within a range of 1:2 to 1:12, to be effective at the ratio and on a date to be determined by the Board of Directors, and (ii) amendments to the Company’s Articles of Association authorizing an increase in the Company’s authorized share capital (and corresponding authorized number of ordinary shares, proportionally adjusting such number for the reverse share split) so that the maximum number of authorized ordinary shares would be 120 million. In accordance with the shareholder approval, in early March 2024 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a one-for-seven reverse share split of the Company’s ordinary shares, reducing the number of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares from approximately 60.1 million pre-split shares to approximately 8.6 million post-split shares. The Company’s ordinary shares began trading on a split-adjusted basis on March 15, 2024. Additionally, effective at the same time, the total authorized number of ordinary shares of the Company was adjusted to 25 million post-split shares, the par value per share of the ordinary shares changed to NIS 1.75 and the authorized share capital of the Company changed from NIS 30,000,000 to NIS 43,750,000. All share and per share data included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse share split for all periods presented.
Upon the effectiveness of the reverse share split, every seven shares were automatically combined and converted into one ordinary share. Appropriate adjustments were also made to all outstanding derivative securities of the Company, including all outstanding equity awards and warrants.
No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse share split. Instead, all fractional shares (including shares underlying outstanding equity awards and warrants) were rounded down to the nearest whole number.
| b. | Share option plans: |
|---|
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, no ordinary shares were reserved, as the Company’s 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was terminated on August 19, 2024. On August 1, 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan, which became effective on August 1, 2025.
Options to purchase ordinary shares generally vest over four years, with certain options to non-employee directors vesting quarterly over one year. Under the 2014 Plan, any option that was forfeited or canceled before expiration became available for future grants. However, as the 2014 Plan was terminated on August 19, 2024, no further options will be granted under this plan.
Options to purchase ordinary shares generally vest over four years, with certain options to non-employee directors vesting quarterly over one year. Any option that was forfeited or canceled before expiration was intended to become available for future grants under a share-based compensation plan. However, as of June 30, 2025, no ordinary shares were reserved, as the 2014 Plan was terminated on August 19, 2024, and a new plan had not yet been approved as a replacement.
The fair value for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was estimated at the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Summary information about geographic areas:
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company manages its business on the basis of one reportable segment and unit and derives revenues mainly from products, rental revenues and warranty and services.
The CODM, which is the Company’s chief executive officer, reviews financial information and annual operating plans presented on a consolidated basis, for purposes of making operating decisions, evaluating financial performance, and allocating resources. There is no expense or asset information, that are supplemental to those disclosed in these consolidated financial statements, that are regularly provided to the CODM. The allocation of resources and assessment of performance of the operating segment is based on consolidated net loss as shown in the consolidated statements of operations. The CODM considers net loss in the annual forecasting process and reviews actual results when making decisions about allocating resources. Since the Company operates as one operating segment, financial segment information, including profit or loss and asset information, can be found in the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 7, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). In addition to historical condensed financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of factors that could cause or contribute to these differences, see “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above.
Overview
We are a medical device company that designs, develops, and commercializes life-changing solutions that span the continuum of care in physical rehabilitation and recovery, delivering proven functional and health benefits in clinical settings as well as in the home and community. Our initial product offerings were the ReWalk Personal and ReWalk Rehabilitation Exoskeleton devices for individuals with spinal cord injury (“SCI Products”). These devices are robotic exoskeletons that are designed for individuals with paraplegia that use our patented tilt-sensor technology and an onboard computer and motion sensors to drive motorized legs that power movement. These SCI Products allow individuals with spinal cord injury (“SCI”) the ability to stand and walk again during everyday activities at home or in the community. In March 2023, we received clearance of our premarket notification (“510(k)”) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton with stair and curb functionality, which adds usage on stairs and curbs to the indication for use for the device in the U.S. The clearance permits U.S. customers to participate in more walking activities in real-world environments in their daily lives where stairs or curbs may have previously limited them when using the exoskeleton for its intended, FDA-indicated uses. This feature has been available in Europe since initial CE Clearance, and real-world data from a cohort of 47 European users throughout a period of over seven years consisting of over 18,000 stair steps was collected to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of this feature and support the FDA submission. In June 2024, we submitted to the FDA a 510(k) premarket notification for ReWalk 7 Personal Exoskeleton device, a next-generation ReWalk model, and such 510(k) is pending FDA review. In June 2025, an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) ruled in favor of a Medicare beneficiary’s appeal and determined that their ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton shall be covered and reimbursed by Medicare as a “reasonable and necessary” medical device that enables walking after SCI. This ruling established a legal basis that the ReWalk system constitutes a reasonable and necessary medical intervention for paralyzed individuals.
We have sought to expand our product offerings beyond the SCI Products through internal development, distribution agreements, and acquisitions. We have developed our ReStore Exo-Suit device, which we began commercializing in June 2019 (we ceased sales in the European Union in May 2024). The ReStore is a powered, lightweight soft exo-suit intended for use during the rehabilitation of individuals with lower limb disabilities due to stroke. In the second quarter of 2020, we signed an agreement to become the exclusive distributor of the MYOLYN MyoCycle FES Pro cycles to U.S. rehabilitation clinics and for the MyoCycle Home cycles available to U.S. veterans through the Veterans Health Administration (“VHA”) hospitals.
In August 2023, we made our first acquisition to supplement our internal growth when we acquired AlterG, a leading provider of Anti-Gravity systems for use in physical and neurological rehabilitation. We paid a cash purchase price of approximately $19 million at closing and additional cash earnout payments may be paid based upon a percentage of AlterG’s revenue growth over the two years following the closing. The AlterG Anti-Gravity systems use patented, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”) derived differential air pressure (“DAP”) technology to reduce the effects of gravity and allow patients to rehabilitate with finely calibrated support and reduced pain. AlterG Anti-Gravity systems are utilized in over 4,000 facilities globally in more than 40 countries. We will continue to evaluate other products for distribution or acquisition that can broaden our product offerings further to help individuals with neurological injury and disability.
In March 2025, we announced an agreement with CorLife, LLC., a Delaware limited liability company (“CorLife”) and a division of Numotion, the nation’s leading and largest provider of products and services that provide mobility, health and personal independence, to increase our penetration of SCI Products into the workers’ compensation market. Pursuant to the agreement, CorLife became the exclusive distributor for the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton for individuals with workers’ compensation claims. The agreement leverages CorLife’s extensive network of credentialed providers and experts to include the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton among the services and equipment they provide to thousands of injured workers each year. Under the agreement, the CorLife reimbursement team manages all workers’ compensation claims submissions for the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton. We believe this agreement will build awareness of the benefits of the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton among individuals with workers’ compensation coverage and gain us access to the resources of CorLife to facilitate efficient processing of claims.
We are in the research stage of ReBoot, a personal soft exo-suit for home and community use by individuals post-stroke, and we are currently evaluating the reimbursement landscape and the potential clinical impact of this device. This product would be a complementary product to ReStore as it provides active assistance to the ankle during plantar flexion and dorsiflexion for gait and mobility improvement in the home environment, and it received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA in November 2021. Further investment in the development path of the ReBoot was paused in 2023 pending determination regarding the clinical and commercial opportunity of this device and at this time it remains on hold.
Our principal markets are primarily in the United States and Europe with some lesser sales in Asia, the Middle East and South America. We sell our products primarily directly in the United States, through a combination of direct sales and distributors (depending on the product line) in Germany and Canada, and primarily through distributors in other markets. In markets where we sell direct to customers, we have established relationships with clinics and rehabilitation centers, professional and college sports teams, and individuals and organizations in the SCI community, and in markets where we do not sell direct to customers, our distributors maintain these relationships. We have primary offices in Yokneam, Israel, Marlborough, Massachusetts, and Berlin, Germany. We also had offices in Fremont, California and Queens, New York where we ceased operations as of December 31, 2024.

We have in the past generated and expect to generate in the future revenue from a combination of clinics and rehabilitation centers, commercial distributors, third-party payors (including private and government payors), professional and college sports teams, and self-pay individuals. While a broad uniform policy of coverage and reimbursement by third-party commercial payors currently does not exist in the United States for exoskeleton technologies such as the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton, we are pursuing various paths of reimbursement and support fundraising efforts by institutions and clinics, such as the VHA policy that was issued in December 2015 for the evaluation, training, and procurement of ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton systems for all qualifying veterans living with SCI across the United States.
We have also been pursuing updates with the CMS to clarify the Medicare coverage category (i.e., benefit category) applicable for personal exoskeletons. In 2022, the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (“NSCISC”), which maintains the world’s largest database on spinal cord injury research, reported that CMS is the primary payor for approximately 57% of the SCI population which are at least five years post their injury date, with Medicare representing a majority of this percentage. In July 2020, following a successful submission and hearing process, a code was issued for ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton, which may be used for purposes of claim submission to Medicare, Medicaid, and other payors.
On November 1, 2023, CMS released the Calendar Year 2024 Home Health Prospective Payment System Final Rule, CMS-1780-F (“Final Rule”), which was adopted through the notice and comment rulemaking process. The Final Rule includes a policy confirming that personal exoskeletons are included in the Medicare brace benefit category, as of January 1, 2024. Medicare personal exoskeleton claims with dates of service on or after January 1, 2024 that are billed using HCPCS code K1007 are assigned to the brace benefit category. CMS reimburses items classified under the brace benefit category using a lump sum payment methodology.
On April 11, 2024, CMS revised its April 2024 Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (“DMEPOS”) Fee Schedule to include a final lump-sum Medicare purchase fee schedule amount for personal exoskeletons (HCPCS code K1007) with an established rate of $91,032. The final payment determination was made by CMS by applying a “gap filling” process, which was used in light of CMS determining that the code describing the technology has no fee schedule pricing history and that lower extremity exoskeletons incorporate “revolutionary features” that cannot be described by or considered comparable to any other existing code or combination of codes. As part of gap-filling, CMS utilizes verifiable supplier or commercial pricing information and adjusts this pricing information according to a deflation and update factor methodology. In applying this formula to the K1007 code describing the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton, CMS says that it calculated this final payment amount by averaging pricing information for exoskeleton devices from Lifeward and other manufacturers.
In Germany, we continue to make progress toward achieving coverage from the various government, private and worker’s compensation payors for our SCI Products. In September 2017, each of German insurer BARMER GEK (“BARMER”) and national social accident insurance provider Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung (“DGUV”) indicated that they will provide coverage to users who meet certain inclusion and exclusion criteria. In February 2018, the head office of German Statutory Health Insurance (“SHI”) Spitzenverband (“GKV”) confirmed its decision to list the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton system in the German Medical Device Directory. This decision means that ReWalk is listed among all medical devices for compensation, which SHI providers can procure for any approved beneficiary on a case-by-case basis. During the year 2020 and 2021, we announced several new agreements with German SHIs, including TK and DAK Gesundheit, as well as the first German Private Health Insurer (“PHI”), which outline the process of obtaining our devices for eligible insured patients. In February 2025, we finalized an agreement with BARMER to formalize the reimbursement process for the provision of ReWalk exoskeletons to medically eligible beneficiaries. We are also currently working with several additional SHIs on securing a formal operating contract that will establish the process of obtaining a ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton for their beneficiaries within their system. Additionally, to date, several private insurers in the United States and Europe are providing reimbursement for ReWalk in certain cases.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Revenue
Our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended<br><br> <br>June 30, | Six Months Ended<br><br> <br>June 30, | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |||||
| Revenues | $ | 5,724 | $ | 6,707 | $ | 10,758 | $ | $ 11,990 |
Revenues are derived from the sale of ReWalk, AlterG, ReStore, and MyoCycle systems. We also generate revenue from the sale of extended warranties and the provision of repair services for the products that we sell.
Revenues decreased by $1.0 million, or 14.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the one-time Medicare- related revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2024 for claims submitted in 2023 and the first quarter of 2024.
Revenues decreased by $1.2 million, or 10.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease is primarily attributable to elevated Medicare-related revenue in the first half of 2024, reflecting payments for 2023 claims recognized in both the first and second quarters and additional one-time payments for first quarter 2024 claims recognized in the second quarter, as well as lower sales volume of MyoCycle units.
In the future, we expect our growth to be driven by sales of our ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton through expansion of coverage and reimbursement by commercial and government third-party payors, more shipments of our AlterG Anti-Gravity system through greater penetration of rehabilitation clinics in the U.S. and internationally, and more placements of the MyoCycle device with rehabilitation clinics and personal users.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows (in thousands):
| Three months Ended<br><br> <br>June 30, | Six Months Ended<br><br> <br>June 30, | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |||||
| Gross profit | 2,511 | 2,757 | 4,633 | 4,152 |
Gross profit was 43.9% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 41.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024, included $0.4 million for amortization of intangible assets. Excluding the impact of the amortization of intangible assets, gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 46.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease primarily reflects the absence of a one-time benefit from Medicare-related revenue recognized in the prior year’s second quarter, for which the related costs had been recorded in prior periods.
Gross profit was 43.1% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 34.6% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024, included $0.8 million for amortization of intangible assets. Excluding the impact of the amortization of intangible assets, gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 41.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was driven by lower production costs following the December 2024 closure of our Fremont manufacturing facility in California and the transition of production to a contract manufacturer, which has already begun to contribute to improved margins in 2025.
We expect gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenue to increase as we grow revenue volumes and realize operating efficiencies associated with greater scale, which will reduce the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue. In addition, gross profit as a percentage of revenue is expected to benefit from the closure of our Fremont manufacturing facility in December 2024, the full transition of AlterG production to a contract manufacturer, which has already begun to contribute to improved margins in the first half of 2025, and the recent transition of ReWalk production in-house, which is expected to generate cost savings and margin improvements in future periods. These improvements may be partially offset by increased material costs, shipping costs, and costs of service.
Research and Development Expenses, net
Our research and development expenses, net, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

| Research and development, net | 767 | 1,205 | 1,685 | 2,496 |
Research and development expenses were $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 36.3%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the completion of the development program for the ReWalk 7 and the AlterG NEO.
Research and development expenses were $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 32.5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the completion of the development program for the ReWalk 7 and the AlterG NEO.
We intend to focus our research and development resources primarily on supporting our current products and making design enhancements to reduce the material costs for our ReWalk and AlterG product lines.

Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included $0.8 million of amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of AlterG. Additional drivers of the decrease Additional drivers of the decrease include a reduction in reimbursement and marketing consultants and lower promotional spending.
Our sales and marketing efforts are expected to focus on driving growth in our commercial product portfolio, expanding the reimbursement coverage by commercial payors of our ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton device, and expanding the commercial and clinical capabilities of the Lifeward organization.
General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2024, included a net benefit of $0.5 million related to income recognized from post-closing adjustments in connection with the acquisition of AlterG. The increase in the current period was also driven by a $0.4 million bad debt expense, primarily associated with the resolution of certain outstanding Medicare claims, and restructuring costs partially offset by eliminating the earnout liability.
General and administrative expenses were $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $0.8 million, or 24.3%, compared to the same period in 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates, judgments, and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known. Besides the estimates identified above that are considered critical, we make many other accounting estimates in preparing our condensed financial statements and related disclosures. See Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K for a description of the significant accounting policies that we used to prepare our consolidated financial statements.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or our critical judgments from the information provided in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” of our 2024 Form 10-K, except for the updates provided in Note 3 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report for information regarding new accounting pronouncements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity and Outlook
Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of certain of our equity securities and convertible notes to investors in private placements, the sale of our ordinary shares in public offerings and the incurrence of bank debt.
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5.1 million. We had an accumulated deficit in the total amount of $276.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Those factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon us obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash resources will be sufficient to fund operations into the fourth quarter of 2025.
We intend to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, potential reduction in operating cash burn, future issuances of equity and debt securities, or through a combination of the foregoing. However, we will also need to seek additional sources of financing if we require more funds than anticipated during the next 12 months or in later periods.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We expect to incur future net losses and our transition to profitability is dependent upon, among other things, the successful development and commercialization of our products and product candidates, the establishment of contracts for the distribution of new product lines, or the acquisition of additional product lines, any of which, or in combination, would contribute to the achievement of a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure. Until we achieve profitability or generate positive cash flows, we will continue to need to raise additional cash from time to time.
We intend to fund future operations through cash on hand, additional private and/or public offerings of debt or equity securities, cash exercises of outstanding warrants or a combination of the foregoing. In addition, we may seek additional capital through arrangements with strategic partners or from other sources and we will continue to address our cost structure. Notwithstanding, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds or achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows from operations.
Our anticipated primary uses of cash are funding (i) sales, marketing, and promotion activities related to market development for our ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton device and AlterG Anti-Gravity system, broadening third-party payor and CMS coverage for our ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton device and commercializing our new product lines added through distribution agreements; (ii) development of future generation designs for our ReWalk device, new AlterG products utilizing DAP technology, and our lightweight exo-suit technology for potential home personal health utilization for multiple indications; (iii) routine product updates; (iv) potential acquisitions of businesses, such as our recent acquisition of AlterG, and (v) general corporate purposes, including working capital needs. Our future cash requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of our spending on research and development efforts, the attractiveness of potential acquisition candidates and international expansion. Based on our current estimates of revenue, expenses and capital and liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities, arrange for additional bank debt financing, or refinance our indebtedness. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds on acceptable terms. For more information, see “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors-We have concluded that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern” of our 2024 Form 10-K.
Further, on August 5, 2025, we received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that because the closing bid price of our ordinary shares had been below the minimum $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we are out of compliance with the requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq, and are subject to potential delisting. If we are unable to re-achieve compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements within 180 days, or February 2, 2026, after receipt of a delisting notice, and if we are unable to obtain an extension therefore, we would be subject to delisting, which likely would further impair the liquidity and value of our ordinary shares.
Equity Raises
Use of Form S-3
Beginning with the filing of our Form 10-K on February 17, 2017, we were subject to limitations under the applicable rules of Form S-3, which constrained our ability to secure capital with respect to public offerings pursuant to our effective Form S-3. These rules limit the size of primary securities offerings conducted by issuers with a public float of less than $75 million to no more than one-third of their public float in any 12-month period. At the time of filing our 2024 Form 10-K, on March 7, 2025, we were subject to these limitations because our public float did not reach at least $75 million in the 60 days preceding the filing of our 2024 Form 10-K. We will continue to be subject to these limitations for the remainder of the 2024 fiscal year and until the earlier of such time as our public float reaches at least $75 million or when we file our next annual report for the year ended December 31, 2025, at which time we will be required to re-test our status under these rules. If our public float is below $75 million as of the filing of our next annual report on Form 10-K, or at the time we file a new Form S-3, we will continue to be subject to these limitations, until the date that our public float again reaches $75 million. These limitations do not apply to secondary offerings for the resale of our ordinary shares or other securities by selling shareholders or to the issuance of ordinary shares upon conversion by holders of convertible securities, such as warrants. We have registered up to $100 million of ordinary shares warrants and/or debt securities and certain other outstanding securities with registration rights on our registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC in May 2022 (the “2022 Shelf Registration Statement”). On May 15, 2025, we filed a new registration statement on Form S-3 (the “2025 Shelf Registration Statement”) to register up to $100 million of ordinary shares, warrants and/or debt securities, which has not yet been declared effective by the SEC. The 2022 Shelf Registration Statement expired on May 16, 2025, however, pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, we are permitted to continue making offers and sales of securities covered by the 2022 Shelf Registration Statement and prospectus supplements thereto until the earlier of the effective date of the 2025 Shelf Registration Statement or 180 days after May 16, 2025.

Equity Offerings
On January 7, 2025, we entered into a purchase agreement with certain institutional investors for the issuance and sale of 1,818,183 ordinary shares and ordinary warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,818,183 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. Each ordinary share was sold at an offering price of $2.75. The offering of the ordinary shares and the ordinary shares that are issuable from time to time upon exercise of the warrants was made pursuant to our 2022 Shelf Registration Statement, and the ordinary warrants were issued in a concurrent private placement. The ordinary warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, following the date of issuance and ending three years from the date of issuance. The offering closed on January 8, 2025. Additionally, we issued warrants to purchase up to 109,091 ordinary shares, with an exercise price of $3.4375 per share, exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, following the date of issuance and ending three years from the date of issuance, to certain representatives of H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“HCW”) as compensation for its role as the placement agent in January 2025 private placement offering.
On March 7, 2025, we entered into an at-the-market offering agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with HCW pursuant to which we may issue and sell our ordinary shares from time to time through HCW acting as sales agent or principal. The ATM Agreement provides that HCW will be entitled to compensation for its services at a commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price per ordinary share sold. On March 7, 2025, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC with respect to the offer and sale of up to $5,488,800 of our ordinary shares pursuant to the ATM Agreement. The aggregate market value of shares eligible for sale under the prospectus supplement and under the ATM Agreement will be subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, to the extent required under such instruction. We are not obligated to make any sales under the ATM Agreement and may suspend or terminate the program at any time, at our discretion.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we sold 964,118 of our ordinary shares under the ATM Agreement at an average price of $1.30 per share, for total gross proceeds of approximately $1.3 million. We paid aggregate fees and commissions of $0.1 million to HCW and incurred other expenses of approximately $0.2 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.0 million.
As of June 30, 2025, approximately $4.2 million remained available for future issuance under the ATM Agreement.
On June 25, 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors for the issuance and sale of 4,000,000 ordinary shares and ordinary warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,000,000 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.65 per share. Each ordinary share was sold at a combined offering price of $0.65 together with an ordinary warrant to purchase one ordinary share. The offering of the ordinary shares and the ordinary shares that are issuable from time to time upon exercise of the warrants was made pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-1, as amended, which was confidentially submitted to the SEC on May 27, 2025 and initially publicly filed with the SEC on June 20, 2025, and declared effective by the SEC on June 25, 2025. The ordinary warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, following the date of issuance and ending five years from the date of issuance. The offering closed on June 26, 2025. Additionally, we issued warrants to purchase up to 240,000 ordinary shares, with an exercise price of $0.8125 per share, exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, following the date of issuance and ending five years from the date of issuance, to certain representatives of HCW as compensation for its role as the placement agent in the June 2025 public offering.
The warrants issued in January 2025 private placement and the June 2025 public offering are considered freestanding instruments. As the warrants are indexed to our ordinary shares and are considered equity-classified, they are recorded in shareholders’ equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon, and as of the date of, this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025, such that the information required to be disclosed by us in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025 there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There have been no material changes to our legal proceedings as described in “Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings” of our 2024 Form 10-K, except as described in Note 7 in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Part I, Item 1” of this quarterly report.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, and as disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes to our risk factors from those disclosed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2024 Form 10-K:
Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry
We do not satisfy all listing requirements for the Nasdaq Capital Market. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing requirements over time and that our common stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
As previously disclosed, on August 5, 2025, we received a notification letter (the “Bid Price Letter”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that we did not satisfy the requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a) (“Rule 5550(a)”) to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. We became deficient with Rule 5550(a) as of August 4, 2025 as our closing bid price was less than $1 per share for 30 consecutive business days. As in the past, the Bid Price Letter is a notice of deficiency, not delisting, and does not currently affect the listing or trading of our ordinary shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We have 180 calendar days, or until February 2, 2026, to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). If at any time before February 2, 2026, the bid price of our ordinary shares closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation that we have regained compliance. Additionally, we may be eligible for a second 180-day period to satisfy Rule 5550(a)’s minimum bid price requirement, if, as of February 2, 2026, we continue to have a market value of publicly held shares of at least $1 million, meet all other initial listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market (with the exception of the bid price requirement) and provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during such second compliance period. We intend to monitor closely the closing bid price of our ordinary shares and to consider plans for regaining compliance with Rule 5550(a). While we plan to review all available options, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the applicable rules during the 180-day compliance period, any subsequent extension period, or at all.
If we do not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a) during the applicable cure period, Nasdaq will notify us that our ordinary shares are subject to delisting. We would then be permitted to appeal any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, and our ordinary shares would remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market pending the panel’s decision after the hearing. If we do not appeal the delisting determination or do not succeed in such an appeal, our ordinary shares would be removed from trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Any delisting determination could seriously decrease or eliminate the value of an investment in our ordinary shares and other securities linked to our ordinary shares. While an alternative listing on an over-the-counter exchange could maintain some degree of a market in our ordinary shares, we could face substantial material adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, the following: limited availability for market quotations for our ordinary shares; reduced liquidity with respect to our ordinary shares; a determination that our ordinary shares are “penny stock” under SEC rules, subjecting brokers trading our ordinary shares to more stringent rules on disclosure and the class of investors to which the broker may sell the ordinary shares; limited news and analyst coverage, in part due to the “penny stock” rules; decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; and potential breaches under or terminations of our agreements with current or prospective large shareholders, strategic investors and banks. The perception among investors that we are at heightened risk of delisting could also negatively affect the market price of our securities and trading volume of our ordinary shares. In the event of a delisting, we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us to restore compliance with listing requirements would allow our common stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements.
We may encounter difficulties in transitioning the manufacturing of our ReWalk products to our in-house manufacturer.
In the second quarter of 2025, we transitioned the manufacturing of our ReWalk products to our in-house manufacturer in an effort to reduce costs and provide us with more control over product quality. As a result, we terminated our agreement with Sanmina Corporation, an international contract manufacturer that manufactured our ReWalk products at its facility in Israel since 2013 and sourced the components and raw materials necessary for manufacturing.
However, to fully establish our manufacturing operations, we will need to identify, recruit and build experienced teams, and there are can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so. Additionally, Sanima previously contracted directly with third-party suppliers to supply certain components of our products. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to establish similar agreements to source sufficient quantities or obtain components at commercially reasonable costs.
If we are unable to manufacture products that consistently meet specifications, are produced in necessary quantities, comply with regulatory requirements and quality control standards and are delivered at commercially acceptable costs and on a timely basis, it will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The process of moving our manufacturing operations in house is time consuming, costly and may disrupt our operations. There can be no assurance that we will fully realize the anticipated benefits from such transition.

For the avoidance of doubt, any transfer agent designated by the Company may issue share certificates on behalf of the Company even if the signatories on the share certificate no longer serve in the relevant capacities at the time of such issuance.
(b) The Company may issue un-certificated shares, provided, however, that each holder of shares shall be entitled to one numbered certificate for all the shares of any class registered in his name, and if reasonably requested by such holder, to several certificates, each for one or more of such shares.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in these Articles, the Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any share as the absolute owner thereof, and, accordingly, shall not, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, or as required by statute, be bound to recognize any trust or equitable or other claim to, or interest in such share on the part of any other Person.
4
(c) Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law and to all orders and regulations issued thereunder, the Board of Directors may elect to maintain one or more Registers of Shareholders outside of Israel in addition to its principal Register of Shareholders, and each such register shall be deemed a Register of Shareholders for purposes of these Articles, and, subject to all applicable requirements of law, the Board of Directors may from time to time adopt such rules and procedures as it may think fit in connection with the keeping of such branch registers.

|---|
(a) The Company may, from time to time, make such calls as the Board of Directors may determine upon holders of shares in respect of any sum unpaid for shares held by such holders which is not, by the terms of issuance thereof or otherwise, payable at a fixed time, and each such holder shall pay the amount of every call so made upon him (and of each installment thereof if the same is payable in installments), to the Person(s) and at the time(s) and place(s) designated by the Board of Directors, as any such time(s) may be thereafter extended and/or such Person(s) or place(s) changed. Unless otherwise stipulated in the resolution of the Board of Directors (and in the notice hereafter referred to), each payment in response to a call shall be deemed to constitute a pro rata payment on account of all shares in respect of which such call was made.
(b) Notice of any call shall be given in writing to the holder(s) in question not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the time of payment, specifying the time and place of payment, and designating the Person to whom such payment shall be made, provided, however, that before the time for any such payment, the Company upon approval of the Board of Directors may, by notice in writing to such holder(s), revoke such call in whole or in part, extend such time, or alter such Person and/or place. In the event of a call payable in installments, only one notice thereof need be given.
(c) If, by the terms of issuance of any share or otherwise, any amount is made payable at any fixed time, every such amount shall be payable at such time as if it were a call duly made by the Company and of which due notice had been given, and all the provisions herein contained with respect to such calls shall apply to each such amount.
(d) The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof and all interest payable thereon.
(e) Any amount unpaid in respect of a call shall bear interest from the date on which it is payable until actual payment thereof, at such rate (not exceeding the then prevailing debitory rate charged by leading commercial banks in Israel), and at such time(s) as the Board of Directors may prescribe.
(f) Upon the issuance of shares, the Board of Directors may provide for differences among the holders of such shares as to the amount of calls and/or the times of payment thereof.
(g) With the approval of the Board of Directors, any holder of shares may pay to the Company any amount not yet payable in respect of his shares. The Board of Directors may at any time cause the Company to repay all or any part of the money so advanced, without premium or penalty.

Any expense incurred by the Company in attempting to collect any such amount or interest, including, inter alia, attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, shall be added to, and shall, for all purposes (including the accrual of interest thereon), constitute a part of the amount payable to the Company in respect of such call.
(b) Upon the adoption of a resolution of forfeiture, the Board of Directors shall cause notice thereof to be given to such holder, which notice shall state that, in the event of the failure to pay the entire amount so payable within a period stipulated in the notice (which period shall not be less than fourteen (14) days and which may be extended by the Company with the approval of the Board of Directors), such shares shall be ipso facto forfeited, provided, however, that, prior to the expiration of such period, the Board of Directors may nullify such resolution of forfeiture, but no such nullification shall estop the Board of Directors from adopting a further resolution of forfeiture in respect of the non-payment of the same amount.

(g) The Board of Directors may at any time, before any share so forfeited or surrendered shall have been sold, re-issued or otherwise disposed of, nullify the forfeiture or surrender on such conditions as it deems fit, but no such nullification shall estop the Board of Directors from re-exercising its powers of forfeiture pursuant to this Article 12.

Such lien shall extend to all dividends from time to time declared in respect of such share. Unless otherwise provided, the registration by the Company of a transfer of shares shall be deemed to be a waiver on the part of the Company of the lien (if any) existing on such shares immediately prior to such transfer.
(b) The Board of Directors may cause the Company to sell any shares subject to such lien when any such debt or liability has matured, in such manner as the Board of Directors may deem fit, but no such sale shall be made unless such debt or liability or has not been satisfied within fourteen (14) days after written notice of the intention to sell shall have been served on such holder, his executors or administrators.

| 5. | Exercise of Option. |
|---|
(a) Right to Exercise. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Nonqualified Stock Option Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

This Option is exercisable by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice, or in a manner and pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may determine, which will state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement. The exercise notice will be completed by Participant and delivered to the Company. The exercise notice will be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Option Price as to all Exercised Shares together with any applicable tax withholding. This Option will be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Option Price.
(c) Termination of the Participant. The Option may be exercised only to the extent that it is then exercisable, and if at all times during the period beginning with the date of grant set forth on the Notice of Nonqualified Stock Option Grant and ending on the date of exercise of such Option, the Participant is an Employee, Non-Employee Director or Consultant, and shall terminate immediately upon a Termination of the Participant. The Option shall cease to become exercisable upon a Termination of the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section to the contrary, the Committee may determine in its discretion that an Option may be exercised following any such Termination, whether or not exercisable at the time of such Termination; provided, however, that in no event may an Option be exercised after the expiration date of such Option specified in the Notice of Nonqualified Stock Option Grant.
6. Method of Payment. The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the Company in full by certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Committee may accept. If approved by the Committee, and subject to any such terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee may prescribe and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, payment of the Option Price, in full or in part, may also be made as follows:
(d) In the form of unrestricted and unencumbered Shares (by actual delivery of such Shares or by attestation) already owned by the Participant or by the Participant and Participant’s spouse jointly (based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is exercised), provided that such already owned Shares must have been either previously acquired by the Participant on the open market or held by the Participant for at least six (6) months at the time of exercise (or meet any such other requirements as the Committee may determine are necessary in order to avoid an accounting earnings charge on account of the use of such Shares to pay the Option Price);
(e) By delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the Option Price, and, if requested, the amount of any federal, state, local or non-United States withholding taxes;
(f) By a “net exercise” pursuant to which the Participant instructs the Company to withhold a number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant pursuant to the Option having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the product of (x) the Option Price multiplied by (y) the number of Shares in respect of which the Option shall have been exercised; or
(g) By any other method approved or accepted by the Committee in its discretion.
7. Blackout Periods. In the event that any portion of the Option is exercisable and is scheduled to expire or terminate pursuant to the Agreement (other than due to Termination for Cause) and both (x) the date on which such portion of the Option is scheduled to expire or terminate falls during a Company blackout trading period applicable to the Participant (whether such period is imposed at the election of the Company or is required by applicable law to be imposed) and (y) the Option Price per Share of such portion of the Option is less than the Fair Market Value of a Share, then on the date that such portion of the Option is scheduled to expire or terminate, such portion of the Option (to the extent not previously exercised by the Participant) shall be automatically exercised on behalf of the Participant through a “net exercise” (as described in Section 6) and minimum withholding taxes due (if any) upon such automatic exercise shall be satisfied by withholding of Shares (as described in Section 9). The period of time over which the Option may be exercised shall be automatically extended if on the scheduled expiration date or termination date (other than due to Termination for Cause) of such Option the Participant’s exercise of such Option would violate an applicable law (except under circumstances described in the preceding sentence); provided, however, that during such extended exercise period the Option may only be exercised to the extent the Option was exercisable in accordance with its terms immediately prior to such scheduled expiration date or termination date; provided further, however, that such extended exercise period shall end not later than thirty (30) days after the exercise of such Option first would no longer violate such law.
8. Tax Withholding. The Company and/or any Affiliate are authorized to withhold from the Option the amount of all taxes due in respect of the Option and take any such other action as may be necessary or appropriate, as determined by the Committee, to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income or wages of a Participant for tax purposes with respect to the Option, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any taxes or social security (or similar) contributions of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under the Agreement shall be conditional on such payment or satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee in its discretion), and the Company and the Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Participant, whether or not under the Agreement.
9. Withholding or Tendering Shares. Without limiting the generality of Section 8, subject to compliance with Applicable Law, the Committee may in its discretion permit a Participant to satisfy or arrange to satisfy, in whole or in part, the tax obligations incident to the Option by: (a) electing to have the Company withhold Shares or other property otherwise deliverable to such Participant pursuant to the Option (provided, however, that the amount of any Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy required withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income) and/or (b) tendering to the Company Shares owned by the Participant (or by the Participant and Participant’s spouse jointly) and purchased or held for the requisite period of time as may be required to avoid the Company’s or the Affiliates’ incurring an adverse accounting charge, based, in each case, on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the payment date as determined by the Committee. All such elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, signed by the Participant, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections, for settlement of withholding obligations with Shares or otherwise.
10. Restrictions. The satisfaction of tax obligations pursuant to Sections 8 and 9 shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose, including any restrictions required by Applicable Law or the rules and regulations of the SEC, and shall be construed consistent with an intent to comply with any such Applicable Laws.
11. No Guarantee of Favorable Tax Treatment. The Company does not warrant that the Option will qualify for favorable tax treatment under any provision of any applicable law. The Company shall not be liable to any Participant for any tax, interest, or penalties the Participant might owe as a result of the grant, holding, vesting, exercise, or payment of the Option.
12. Rights as a Shareholder. No Participant or other person shall become the beneficial owner of any Shares subject to an Option, nor have any rights to dividends or other rights of a shareholder with respect to any such Shares, until the Participant has actually received such Shares following exercise of the Option in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.
13. Compliance With Code Section 409A. The Option will be designed and operated in such a manner that it is either exempt from the application of, or complies with, the requirements of Code Section 409A such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. The Agreement is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that the Option or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A the Option will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A.
14. Rights or Claims. No person shall have any rights or claims under the Agreement except in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. The liability of the Company and any Affiliate under the Agreement is limited to the obligations expressly set forth in the Agreement, and no term or provision of the Agreement may be construed to impose any further or additional duties, obligations, or costs on the Company or any Affiliate thereof or the Board or the Committee not expressly set forth in the Agreement. The grant of the Option shall not confer any rights upon the Participant other than such terms, and subject to such conditions, as are specified in the Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in the Agreement shall be deemed to:
(a) Give the Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company and/or an Affiliate, whether in any particular position, at any particular rate of compensation, for any particular period of time or otherwise;
(b) restrict in any way the right of the Company and/or an Affiliate to terminate, change or modify the Participant’s employment or service at any time with or without Cause;

(d) give the Participant the right to receive any bonus, whether payable in cash or in Shares, or in any combination thereof, from the Company and/or an Affiliate, nor be construed as limiting in any way the right of the Company and/or an Affiliate to determine, in its sole discretion, whether or not it shall pay the Participant bonuses, and, if so paid, the amount thereof and the manner of such payment; or
(e) give the Participant any rights whatsoever with respect to the Option except as specifically provided the Agreement.
15. Data Protection. By accepting the award of the Option, the Participant consents to the collection, processing, transmission and storage by the Company or any Affiliate, in any form whatsoever, of any data of a professional or personal nature which is necessary for the purposes of administering the Agreement.

17. Transferability of Awards. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement or otherwise determined at any time by the Committee, the Option may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided that the Committee may permit further transferability, on a general or a specific basis, and may impose conditions and limitations on any permitted transferability, subject to any applicable restrictions. Further, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement or otherwise determined at any time by the Committee, or unless the Committee decides to permit further transferability, subject to any applicable restrictions, the Option and all rights with respect to the Option, shall be exercisable or available during the Participant’s lifetime only by or to such Participant. If the Option is permitted to be transferred to another Person, references in the Agreement to exercise or payment related to the Option by or to the Participant shall be deemed to include, as determined by the Committee, the Participant’s permitted transferee. In the event Participant is deceased and the Option is exercised by or otherwise paid to the executors, administrators, heirs or distributees of the estate of the Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary, or the transferee of an Award, in any such case, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and in accordance with such terms and conditions as may be specified from time to time by the Committee, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue Shares thereunder unless and until the Company is satisfied, as determined in the discretion of the Committee, that the person or persons exercising the Option, or to receive such payment, are the duly appointed legal representative of the deceased Participant’s estate or the proper legatees or distributees thereof or the named beneficiary of the Participant, or the valid transferee of the Option, as applicable. Any purported assignment, transfer or encumbrance of the Option that does not comply with this Section 17 shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.

Any adjustments under this Section 18 shall be made in a manner that does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, to the extent applicable. All determinations of the Committee as to adjustments, if any, under this Section 18 shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.
(b) No Limitation on Corporate Actions. The existence of the Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or any Affiliate to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in its capital structure or business structure, any merger or consolidation, any issuance of debt, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Shares, additional shares of capital stock or other securities or subscription rights thereto, any dissolution or liquidation, any sale or transfer of all or part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding.
(c) Change of Control.

In the event of such termination, the Option shall become fully exercisable as of the effective time of the Change of Control transaction. In addition, in the event of such termination, (i) the Committee shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to the Participant equal to the difference between the per share consideration and the Option Price or (ii) to permit the Participant, within a specified period of time prior to the Change of Control transaction, to exercise the Option.
For the purposes of this Section 18(c), the Option shall be considered honored, assumed or substituted for if, following the Change of Control, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Option immediately prior to the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change of Control transaction by holders of Shares for each Share held on the effective date of such transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in such transaction is not solely common stock of the successor entity or parent thereof, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor entity or parent thereof, if applicable, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor entity or parent thereof equal in fair market value, as determined by the Committee, to the per share consideration received by holders of Shares in such transaction.
Notwithstanding anything in this subsection (c) to the contrary, if a payment under the Agreement is subject to Section 409A of the Code and if the Change in Control definition contained in the Agreement does not comply with the definition of “change in control” for purposes of a distribution under Section 409A of the Code, then any payment of an amount that is otherwise accelerated under this Section will be delayed until the earliest time that such payment would be permissible under Section 409A of the Code without triggering any penalties applicable under Section 409A of the Code.
(d) No Implied Rights; Other Limitations. The Participant shall not have any right to prevent the consummation of any of the acts described in this Section 18 affecting the number of Shares available to, or other entitlement of, the Participant under the Agreement.
19. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
20. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock. If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to Participant (or Participant’s estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares will be considered transferred to Participant on the date the Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares.
21. Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to Options awarded under the Agreement or future options that may be awarded under the Agreement by electronic means or request Participant’s consent to participate by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.
22. Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
23. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
24. Amendment and Termination of the Agreement. The Board may, at any time and with or without prior notice, amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Agreement, retroactively or otherwise, but no such amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Agreement shall be made which would materially impair the previously accrued rights of the Participant with respect to the Option without the Participant’s consent, except any such amendment made to comply with applicable law, tax rules, stock exchange rules or accounting rules. In addition, no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s shareholders to the extent such approval is required by any applicable law, tax rules, stock exchange rules or accounting rules (including as necessary to comply with any rules or requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Shares may be listed or quoted).
25. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to Participant’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Participant, to comply with Code Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A of the Code in connection to this Option.
26. Forfeiture/Clawback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to the Option shall be subject to the terms of any policy of the Company regarding reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, rescission or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting, or other restrictions of the Option, including without limitation, any such policy adopted by the Company to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules of any Applicable Exchange. The Company shall be entitled to recoup the Option (or portion thereof) or related compensation granted or paid to the Participant as required by law or such Company policy, whether such compensation was granted or paid before or after adoption of the policy or the date of the Agreement. The enforcement of such policy shall not constitute an adverse action to the Participant under the terms of the Agreement.
27. Acknowledgment. By accepting this Option, Participant expressly warrants that the Participant has received an Option pursuant to this Agreement, and has received, read and understood a description of the Agreement.
28. Governing Law. The Agreement, all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Participants are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of the State of Delaware, to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to the Agreement.
