ReWalk Robotics Announces Planned Changes to Board of Directors
Number of Director Seats to be Reduced to Eight from Ten
MARLBOROUGH, Mass. and YOKNEAM ILLIT, Israel, July 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (Nasdaq: RWLK) (“ReWalk” or the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative technologies that enable mobility and wellness in rehabilitation and daily life for individuals with neurological conditions, today announced that two members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), Arik Dan and Wayne Weisman, have indicated that they do not plan to seek re-election when their terms expire at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Company does not expect to nominate any replacement candidates, and these retirements consequently will reduce the size of the Board from ten to eight directors.
“With these retirements and our decision not to nominate replacement directors, we are fulfilling our commitment to shareholders to shrink the Board while maintaining the right mix of essential skills and experience necessary to oversee the Company’s strategy and drive value creation,” said Jeff Dykan, Chairman of the Board of ReWalk. “As always, we will continue to evaluate the Board’s composition and ensure that we have appropriate and effective governance in place.”
“Arik and Wayne have made valuable contributions to ReWalk during their decade-plus tenures,” continued Mr. Dykan. “During that time, we have overcome many obstacles in our path to working towards commercial success for our exoskeleton product, and both Arik and Wayne played integral roles during this challenging journey. We appreciate their perspectives and efforts, and I personally thank them for their service.”
