(Nasdaq:RWLK) (“ReWalk” or “the Company”) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Kreos Capital V (Expert Fund) Limited (“Kreos”) for a line of credit of up to $20 million.  ReWalk drew down an initial tranche of $12 million.

Additionally, Kreos was issued a warrant in the aggregate amount of $1.15 million to purchase ordinary shares of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) at an exercise price of $9.64 per share, which represented the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares for the thirty-day calendar period prior to the date of the issuance of the warrant, subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrant.  In the event the Company draws down any additional funds subsequent to the first tranche, the warrant amount will be increased by 5.75% of any such additional draw downs.
