Jeff Dykan, who led Lifeward as Chairman of its Board through the past 15 years, has announced his intent to retire at the end of his current term<\/em><\/p>\n

MARLBOROUGH, Mass. and YOKNEAM ILLIT,\u00a0Israel, July 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ReWalk Robotics Ltd.\u00a0(DBA Lifeward™) (Nasdaq: LFWD) (\u201cLifeward\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a global market leader delivering life-changing solutions to revolutionize what is possible in rehabilitation, recovery, and the pursuit of life\u2019s passions in the face of physical limitation or disability, today announced that Jeff Dykan, current Chairman of the Lifeward Board of Directors, will retire from his role and will not stand for reelection effective at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Joseph Turk, who has served on Lifeward\u2019s Board since 2022, has been appointed as the incoming Chairman and will assume the role following the upcoming shareholder meeting.<\/p>\n

Under Mr. Dykan\u2019s leadership, Lifeward (previously ReWalk Robotics) has thrived as it grew from an early-stage concept, attracted a management team to lead development, navigated regulatory clearances – including a De Novo approval with the FDA, conducted an IPO, established an exoskeleton coverage policy for U.S. Veterans under the VA, acquired AlterG to grow its portfolio, and most recently, established reimbursement for personal exoskeletons under Medicare. Lifeward is greatly appreciative of Mr. Dykan\u2019s guidance and leadership throughout the Company\u2019s history of pioneering the exoskeleton and physical rehabilitation industries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am extremely honored to have served as Chairman of ReWalk Robotics, and now Lifeward, throughout such a rich period in the history of this Company,\u201d said Mr. Dykan. \u201cOur initial vision was to enable all individuals with spinal cord injury to walk again in their everyday lives, and we have come a tremendous way toward achieving that goal. I am so proud of all that we have achieved together, and I am confident that the refreshed and experienced Board is in good hands under Joe\u2019s leadership with the overall expertise in commercialization.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLifeward has benefitted greatly from Jeff\u2019s leadership as he guided the Company\u2019s growth from an initial concept into the commercial business it is today,\u201d continued Joseph Turk, incoming Chairman of Lifeward. \u201cThanks to Jeff\u2019s efforts in establishing this company \u2013 and this industry, we are now able to shift our focus toward commercial expansion and market development across both our ReWalk and AlterG product lines. We wish Jeff all the best as he steps down from his current role and extend our sincere gratitude for all his years of service.\u201d<\/p>\n
