On January 4, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (the “Company”) appointed Mr. Ori Gon as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective February 22, 2018. Mr. Gon replaces Mr. Kevin Hershberger, who informed the Company on January 1, 2018, that he intends to resign as Chief Financial Officer, effective February 22, 2018. Mr. Hershberger’s resignation is to pursue another career opportunity and is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies (including accounting or financial policies) or practices. The Company and the Board wish to thank Mr. Hershberger for his strategic leadership and contributions to the Company’s growth over the years. Mr. Hershberger will work closely with Mr. Gon to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.
Mr. Gon, 36, has served as a Corporate Controller of the Company since July 2015. Previously, he served as Controller at On Track Innovations, Ltd. from 2012 to 2015.

Mr. Gon is a CPA and holds a B.A. in Economics from Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
There are no current arrangements or understandings between Mr. Gon and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as Chief Financial Officer. The Company and Mr. Gon intend to finalize the terms of his employment agreement, including his compensation arrangements, in the future, at which time such agreement shall be disclosed by the Company. There are no family relationships between Mr. Gon and any of the Company’s other officers and directors and Mr. Gon does not have any direct or indirect material interest in any transactions required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
