the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
Set forth below is a list of our directors continuing in office
until the 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders, together with certain biographical information, including their ages as of the

of Certified Public Accountants and holds a B.Sc. in accounting and management and an M.B.A. in computer applications, both from New York

in management roles provide him the qualifications and skills to serve as a member of our Board.
Yasushi Ichiki, 55, has
served on our Board since 2014. He was appointed by our shareholder Yaskawa Electric Corporation, a manufacturer of motion controllers,

Manager of Corporate Planning, Robotics Division of Yaskawa Europe GmbH. Mr. Ichiki holds a B.A. from Yamaguchi University, Japan. We
believe that Mr. Ichiki’s management experience and his expertise in the development and marketing of robotics and power electronics
technology provide him the qualifications and skills to serve as a member of our Board.
Joseph Turk,
55, has served on our Board since April 2022. Mr. Turk has served as an Executive Vice President of Fresenius Medical Care North

Senior Vice President, and Vice President of Marketing. Prior to this, Mr. Turk held roles at Boston Scientific Corporation and McKinsey

Turk’s management leadership and experience in successfully achieving favorable Medicare reimbursement, building an organization
for implementation of commercialization with a novel breakthrough medical device, and completing multiple new business development transactions
provide him the qualifications and skills to serve as a member of our Board.
Hadar Levy, 50, has served
on our Board since August 2022. Mr. Levy has more than 20 years of experience in management and finance. Mr. Levy has served
as the Chief Executive Officer of Brainsway Ltd., a commercial stage medical device company developing advanced noninvasive neurostimulation

date of this Amendment No. 1:
Larry Jasinski, 65, has

Computer, Inc. Dr. Poduska holds a Sc.D. from MIT and an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Lowell University. We believe that
Dr. Poduska’s varied director experience, both in private and public companies, his expertise in computer engineering and his familiarity
with developing companies equip him with the qualifications and skills to serve as a member of our Board.

Adar has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Accounting and Economics from the Open University of Israel and is a Certified Public Accountant

Board Leadership Structure
The Board does not currently have a formal policy requiring the
offices of Chairman of the Board and CEO to be separate. The Board has discretion to make this determination from time to time in a manner
that the Board deems most appropriate for the Company. Currently, we have separated the positions of CEO and Chairman of the Board in
recognition of the differences between the two roles. The CEO is responsible for the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company,
while the Chairman of the Board (in collaboration with other members of the Board) sets the strategic direction of the Company, provides
guidance to the management, sets the agenda for the Board meetings (in collaboration with the other members of the Board) and presides
over meetings of the Board. We believe that separating these positions allows the Chairman of the Board to lead the Board in its fundamental
role of providing direction and guidance to management, while allowing our CEO to focus on our day-to-day operations. In addition, we
believe that the current separation provides a more effective monitoring and objective evaluation of the performance of the CEO. The Board
believes it is important that the Company retain organizational flexibility to determine whether the roles of CEO and Chairman of the
Board should be separated or combined.
Risk Management
The Board is actively involved in the oversight and management
of risks that could affect the Company. This oversight and management is conducted primarily through committees of the Board, as disclosed
in the descriptions of each of the committees above and in the charters of each of the committees, but the full Board has retained responsibility
for general oversight of risks. The Board regularly receives reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to the
Company, including operational (which itself includes cybersecurity matters), financial, regulatory and legal. The audit committee oversees
management of financial risks (including liquidity and credit), approves all transactions with related persons and is primarily responsible
for oversight of the Company’s financial reporting process and internal control over financial reporting. The compensation committee
is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the Company’s executive compensation plans and arrangements. The
nominating and corporate governance committee oversees the Company’s corporate governance programs, including the administration
of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Board discharges its oversight responsibility through full reports by each committee chair
regarding the relevant committee’s actions, as well as through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight
of particular risks within the Company.
Opt-Out of Certain Israel Companies Law Requirements
As an Israeli company, we are required to comply with the requirements
of the Israel Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Until early 2018, our Board was required to include at least two
“external directors” as defined under the Israel Companies Law. In addition, we were required to comply with certain requirements
under the Israel Companies Law regarding the composition of our audit committee and compensation committee, including requirements relating
to the inclusion and role of the external directors on such committees. Pursuant to regulations promulgated under the Israel Companies
Law, however, we — as a company that does not have a controlling shareholder, and that complies with the U.S. securities laws and
the Nasdaq corporate governance rules — were permitted to “opt out” of the requirement to appoint external directors
as well as the above requirements related to the composition of the audit committee and the compensation committee.
In February 2018, our Board determined that opting out of the requirements
under the Israel Companies Law regarding the appointment of external directors and the composition of our audit committee and compensation
committee would reduce our administrative and financial burden and provide greater flexibility in attracting highly-qualified directors,
while maintaining appropriate corporate governance standards; accordingly, we opted out of such requirements. As a result, our Board is
no longer required to include two external directors, and our audit committee and compensation committee do not need to comply with certain
committee composition requirements under the Israel Companies Law.
Director Independence
Our Board has determined that, other than Larry Jasinski, our CEO,
all of our current directors are independent under Nasdaq listing standards. Furthermore, our Board also determined that all current members
of the audit committee, compensation committee, and nominating and corporate governance committee are independent under the applicable
Nasdaq listing standards and rules and regulations of the SEC. In making its determinations regarding independence, the Board carefully
reviewed the categorical tests enumerated in the Nasdaq independence definition, as well as the individual circumstances of each director
with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to the Company and our management.
Nasdaq
Listing Standards
The Nasdaq definition of “independent director” includes
a series of objective tests. Specifically, a director is deemed independent under the Nasdaq rules if such director is not an executive
officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s Board, would
interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Generally, the following persons
are not considered independent, among others:
|
• |
a director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the company; |
|
• |
a director who accepted or who has a family member who accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any
period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than compensation for board
or board committee service, compensation paid to a family member who is an employee (other than an executive officer) of the company,
or benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation; |
|
• |
a director who is a family member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the company
as an executive officer; |
|
• |
a director who is, or has a family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of, any organization
to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three
fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other
than the following: (i) payments arising solely from investments in the company’s securities; or (ii) payments under non-discretionary
charitable contribution matching programs; |
|
• |
a director who is, or has a family member who is, employed as an executive officer of another entity where at any time during the
past three years any of the executive officers of the company serve on the compensation committee of such other entity; and |
|
• |
a director who is, or has a family member who is, a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or was a partner or employee
of the company’s outside auditor who worked on the company’s audit at any time during any of the past three years. |
Audit Committee
We have a separately designated standing audit committee. The audit
committee consists of Mr. Yohanan Engelhardt, Dr. John William Poduska and Mr. Wayne B. Weisman. Mr. Yohanan Engelhardt serves as the
chairman of the audit committee. The audit committee holds a minimum of four meetings per year and will meet more frequently as circumstances
require. The audit committee met five times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Israel Companies Law Requirements
Under the Israel Companies Law, we are required to appoint an audit
committee. As discussed above under “Opt-Out of Certain Israel Companies Law Requirements”, in February 2018 we opted out
of certain Israel Companies Law requirements, including certain requirements as to the composition of our audit committee.
Nasdaq Listing Standards and SEC Requirements
Under the Nasdaq corporate governance rules, we are required to
maintain an audit committee consisting of at least three independent directors, each of whom is financially literate and one of whom has
accounting or related financial management expertise. Additionally, we must state whether any members of the audit committee qualifies
as an “audit committee financial expert” under Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC.
All members of the audit committee meet the requirements for financial
literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Our Board has determined that
Yohanan Engelhardt is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC rules and has the requisite financial sophistication
as defined by the Nasdaq corporate governance rules.
Each of the current audit committee members is “independent”
as such term is defined under the Nasdaq corporate governance rules and under Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act, which is different
from the general test for independence of board members and members of other committees.
Audit Committee Role
Our Board has adopted an audit committee charter that sets forth
the responsibilities of the audit committee consistent with the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq corporate governance rules, as well as
the requirements for such committee under the Israel Companies Law, including the following:
|
• |
overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm and recommending the engagement, compensation or termination of engagement
of our independent registered public accounting firm to the Board in accordance with Israeli law; |
|
• |
reviewing regularly the senior members of the independent auditor’s team, including the lead audit partner and reviewing partner;
|
|
• |
pre-approving the terms of audit, audit-related and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting
firm for pre-approval by our Board; |
|
• |
recommending the engagement or termination of the person filling the office of our internal auditor; |
|
• |
reviewing periodically with management, the internal audit and the independent registered public accounting firm the adequacy and
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting; and |
|
• |
reviewing with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the annual and quarterly financial statements of
the Company prior to filing with the SEC. |
The charter of the audit committee is available at http://ir.rewalk.com.
Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this Amendment No. 1 and is not incorporated
by reference herein.
The audit committee provides assistance to our Board in fulfilling
its legal and fiduciary obligations in matters involving our accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal control over financial
reporting and legal compliance. Specifically, the audit committee pre-approves the services performed by our independent registered public
accounting firm and reviews the firm’s reports regarding our accounting practices and systems of internal control over financial
reporting. The audit committee also oversees the audit efforts of our independent registered public accounting firm and takes those actions
that it deems necessary to satisfy itself that such accountants are in fact independent of management.
Under the Israel Companies Law, the audit committee is responsible
for:
|
• |
determining whether there are deficiencies in the business management practices of our Company and making recommendations to our
Board to improve such practices; |
|
• |
determining whether to approve certain related party transactions, and classifying transactions in which a controlling shareholder
has a personal benefit or other interest as significant or insignificant (which affects the required approvals) (see “Item 13—Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law”
below); |
|
• |
examining our internal controls and internal auditor’s performance, including whether the internal auditor has sufficient resources
and tools to dispose of its responsibilities, and in certain cases approving the annual work plan of our internal auditor; |
|
• |
examining the scope of our auditor’s work and compensation and submitting a recommendation with respect thereto to our Board
or shareholders, depending on which of them is considering the appointment of our auditor; and |
|
• |
establishing procedures for the handling of employees’ complaints as to the deficiencies in the management of our business
and the protection to be provided to such employees. |
The audit committee may not approve any actions requiring its approval
unless at the time of the approval a majority of the committee’s members are present. See “Item 13—Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law” below.
Compensation Committee
We have a separately designated standing compensation committee.
The compensation committee consists of Mr. Aryeh (Arik) Dan, Mr. Joseph Turk, and Dr. John William Poduska. Dr. Poduska serves as the
chairman of the compensation committee. The compensation committee meets as circumstances require and held seven meetings during the year
ended December 31, 2022. Under its charter, the compensation committee may ask members of management to attend meetings and provide pertinent
information as needed. However, any person ineligible to serve as a member of the committee under the Israel Companies Law generally may
not attend committee meetings unless to present on a particular topic as determined by the committee. In addition, the CEO may not be
present for, and if applicable is excused from, the meeting during voting or deliberation on his compensation.
Israel Companies Law Requirements
Under the Israel Companies Law, the board of directors of a public
company must appoint a compensation committee. As discussed above under “Opt-Out of Certain Israel Companies Law Requirements”,
in February 2018 we opted out of certain Israel Companies Law requirements, including certain requirements as to the composition of our
compensation committee.
The duties of the compensation committee include the recommendation
to the company’s board of directors of a compensation policy regarding the terms of engagement of directors and of specified members
of senior management. That compensation policy must be adopted by the company’s board of directors, after considering the recommendations
of the compensation committee, and must then be approved by the company’s shareholders, which approval requires a Special Approval
for Compensation (as defined below under “—Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law—Fiduciary Duties
of Directors and Executive Officers”). Our Board adopted a compensation policy, which our shareholders subsequently approved at
the annual general meeting of our shareholders held on June 18, 2020, and an amendment thereto at the annual general meeting of our shareholders
held on May 19, 2021 (as amended, the “Compensation Policy”).
The compensation policy of an Israeli company must serve as the
basis for decisions concerning the financial terms of employment or engagement of office holders, including compensation, benefits, exculpation,
insurance and indemnification. The compensation policy must take into account certain factors, including advancement of the company’s
objectives, the company’s business plan and its long-term strategy, and creation of appropriate incentives. It must also consider,
among other things, the company’s risk management, size and the nature of its operations. The compensation policy must include certain
principles, such as a link between variable compensation and long-term performance and measurable criteria, the relationship between variable
and fixed compensation, and the minimum holding or vesting period for variable, equity-based compensation. We believe that the Compensation
Policy satisfies these requirements.
The compensation committee is responsible for (a) recommending
the Compensation Policy to our Board for its approval (and subsequent approval by our shareholders) and (b) carrying out duties related
to the Compensation Policy and to the compensation of our directors and senior management, including:

Nasdaq Listing Standards and Section 16 of
the Exchange Act
Under the Nasdaq corporate governance rules, we are required to
maintain a compensation committee consisting of at least two independent directors. Each of the members of the compensation committee
is required to be independent under the Nasdaq listing standards relating to compensation committee members, which are different from
the general test for independence of board and members of other committees. In assessing independence, the Board considered all factors
specifically relevant to determining whether a director has a relationship to the Company which is material to that director’s ability
to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member and determined that each of the members
of the compensation committee satisfies those requirements. Additionally, transactions between us and our directors and executive officers
will be considered exempt from short-swing liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act if approved by our Board or a committee composed
solely of two or more “non-employee directors,” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 16b-3”).
Our Board has determined that each of the members of the compensation committee is a “non-employee director,” as defined in
Rule 16b-3.
Compensation Committee Role
Our Board has adopted a compensation committee charter setting
forth the responsibilities of the committee, which include:
|
• |
reviewing and approving the granting of options and other incentive awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans to
the extent such authority is delegated by our Board; |
|
• |
recommending the Company’s compensation policy and reviewing that policy from time to time both with respect to the CEO and
other office holders and generally, including to assess the need for periodic updates; |
|
• |
reviewing and approving corporate goals relevant to the compensation of the CEO and other officers and evaluating the performance
of the CEO and other officers; and |
|
• |
reviewing, evaluating and making recommendations regarding the compensation and benefits for our non-employee directors. |
The charter of the compensation committee is available at http://ir.rewalk.com.
Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this Amendment No. 1 and is not incorporated
by reference herein.
Subject to applicable law, the compensation committee may delegate
its authority to subcommittees established from time to time by the committee. Such subcommittees shall consist of one or more members
of the committee or the board and shall report to the committee. The compensation committee is authorized to retain and terminate compensation
consultants, legal counsel or other advisors to the committee and to approve the engagement of any such consultant, counsel or advisor,
to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate after specifically analyzing the independence of any such consultant retained by the compensation
committee.
Compensation Consultant
The compensation committee has authority to retain compensation
consulting firms to assist it in the evaluation of executive officer and employee compensation and benefit programs. The compensation
committee has retained Aon Hewitt (“Aon”) as its independent compensation advisor. Aon provides an objective perspective as
to the reasonableness of our executive compensation programs and practices and their effectiveness in supporting our business and compensation
objectives, as well as our equity compensation plans and number of shares available for grants.
Although Aon regularly consults with management in performing work
requested by the compensation committee, it did not perform any separate additional services for management. The compensation committee
has assessed the independence of Aon pursuant to applicable SEC rules and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent
Aon from independently representing the compensation committee.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Mr.
Aryeh (Arik) Dan and Mr. Jeff Dykan. Mr. Jeff Dykan serves as the chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating
and corporate governance committee meets as circumstances require, and held two meetings during the year ended December 31, 2022. Our
Board has adopted a nominating and corporate governance committee charter that sets forth the responsibilities of the nominating and corporate
governance committee, which include:
|
• |
overseeing and assisting our board in reviewing and recommending nominees for election as directors; |
|
• |
reviewing and evaluating recommendations regarding management succession; |
|
• |
assessing the performance of the members of our Board; and |
|
• |
establishing and maintaining effective corporate governance policies and practices, including, but not limited to, developing and
recommending to our Board a code of conduct. |
The nominating and corporate governance committee considers proposals
from a number of sources, including recommendations for nominees from shareholders submitted upon written notice to the chairman of the
nominating and corporate governance committee, c/o ReWalk Robotics Ltd., 3 Hatnufa Street, Floor 6, Yokneam Ilit 2069203, Israel. Other
sources include referrals from other directors, members of management and the Company’s advisors. When considering a person to be
recommended for nomination as a director, the nomination and governance committee evaluates, whether sourced by a shareholder or otherwise,
among other factors, experience, accomplishments, education, skills, personal and professional integrity, diversity of the Board and the
candidate’s ability to devote the necessary time for service as a director (including directorships and other positions held at
other corporations and organizations). The nominating and governance committee does not use different standards to evaluate nominees
depending on whether they are proposed by our directors and management or by our shareholders.
The nominating and corporate governance committee has no specific
policy on director diversity. However, the Board reviews diversity of viewpoints, background, experience, accomplishments, education and
skills when evaluating nominees. The Board believes that such diversity is important because it provides varied perspectives and promotes
active and constructive discussion among directors and between the Board and management, resulting in more effective oversight of management’s
formulation and implementation of strategic initiatives. In addition, in the Board’s executive sessions and in annual performance
evaluations conducted by the Board and its committees, the Board from time to time considers whether the Board’s composition promotes
a constructive and collegial environment. In determining whether an incumbent director should stand for reelection, the nominating and
corporate governance committee considers the above factors, as well as that director’s personal and professional integrity, attendance,
preparedness, participation and candor and other relevant factors as determined by the Board. Additionally, under Israeli law, if at the
time of election of a director, all of the members of the Board are of the same gender, the director to be elected must be of the other
gender. Further, the recently adopted listing requirements of Nasdaq require each listed smaller reporting company to have, or explain
why it does not have, at least two diverse directors on the board, including at least one diverse director who self-identifies as female.
Nasdaq permits the second diverse director to include an individual who self-identifies as one or more of the following: female, LGBTQ+
or an underrepresented minority. Our current board composition is in compliance with these requirements. Each term used above, and in
the matrix below, has the meaning given to it in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(f). The Board believes its diversity is demonstrated in the
range of experiences, qualifications and skills of the current members of the Board, as well as gender identities and ethnic backgrounds,
reflected in the membership of Ms. Richner and Mr. Ichiki.
The matrix below provides certain highlights of the composition
of our Board members based on self-identification.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to
all of our directors and employees, including our CEO, Chief Financial Officer or, if applicable, the Principal Financial Officer (“CFO”),
controller or principal accounting officer, or other persons performing similar functions, which fulfils applicable guidelines issued
by the SEC. The full text of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on the Charters & Policies page of our website at https://ir.rewalk.com/charters-and-policies.
Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this Amendment No. 1 and is
not incorporated by reference herein. We will also provide a hard copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics free of charge upon
written request to ReWalk Robotics, Ltd., 3 Hatnufa Street, Floor 6, Yokneam Ilit 2069203, Israel. If we make any amendment to the Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics or grant any waivers, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the code, we will disclose the
nature of such amendment or waiver on our website within four business days to the extent required by the rules and regulations of the
SEC. We granted no waivers under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics in 2022.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that the Company’s
directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our outstanding ordinary shares file with the SEC initial reports
of ownership in our ordinary shares and reports of changes in ownership in our ordinary shares. Based solely on a review of reports filed
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and certain of our internal records, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements
applicable to our directors, officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners were satisfied on a timely basis, except for (i) one Form
4 filed late by Jeff Dykan on June 30, 2022, (ii) one Form 4 filed late by Larry Jasinski on July 7, 2022, (iii) one Form 3 filed late
by Almog Adar on March 25, 2022, (iv) one Form 3 filed late by Hadar Levy on August 24, 2022, and (v) one Form 4 filed late by Hadar Levy
on August 24, 2022. The forms filed late by Mr. Jasinski, Mr. Dykan and Mr. Adar were due to administrative errors, while the forms filed
late by Mr. Levy were due to an administrative delay in obtaining his SEC filing codes.

Narrative Disclosure to the 2022 Summary Compensation Table
2022 Non-Equity Incentive Plan
All employees who have bonus features in their employment agreements,
including our Named Executive Officers, were eligible to participate in a non-equity incentive plan for fiscal year 2022, pursuant to
which employees were eligible to receive a bonus with respect to their performance in such year. Each employee’s target was equal
to a specified percentage of his or her base salary, and the actual bonus is paid based on the achievement of certain business and personal
performance objectives for the 2022 fiscal year. Not all goals needed to be met for an employee participant to receive a portion of the
bonus. The principal business performance objective under the non-equity incentive plan for 2022 was based on achieving specified financial
goals or milestones as set forth in the Compensation Policy as approved by our shareholders. These objectives were allocated as 35% for
revenue targets, 10% for product development and regulatory approval targets, 10% for market development targets, 10% for strategic targets
and 15% for cash management targets. A personal performance objective, which is subjective in nature, made up the remaining 20%.
If the target was met in all categories of the business performance
objective, 100% of the employee’s bonus was to be paid. If certain lower targets were met with respect to each of the different
targets, 50% of the employee’s bonus was to be paid. If targets are exceeded in all categories of the business performance objective,
150% of the bonus was to be paid.
Equity Compensation
Our equity grant program is intended to align the interests of
our Named Executive Officers with those of our stockholders and to motivate them to make important contributions to our performance. In
2022, we granted restricted stock unit awards to each of our Named Executive Officers, as reflected in the “Outstanding Equity Awards
at 2022 Fiscal Year End Table” below. The restricted stock units will vest pro-rata annually, with twenty-five percent (25%) of
the restricted stock units vesting on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the grant date of such award.
Employee Benefits and Perquisites
We currently maintain the ReWalk Robotics Inc. 401(k) Plan, a defined
contribution plan, or the 401(k) Plan, for the benefit of our employees, including our Named Executive Officers, who satisfy certain eligibility
requirements. Our Named Executive Officers (other than Named Executive Officers who are not U.S. citizens) were eligible to participate
in the 401(k) Plan on the same terms as our other full-time employees. We believe that providing a vehicle for retirement savings though
our 401(k) Plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including
our Named Executive Officers.
Currently, we do not view perquisites or other personal benefits
as a significant component of our Compensation Policy. However, we have provided certain perquisites to our Named Executive Officers in
situations where we believe it is appropriate to assist an individual in the performance of his or her duties, to make him or her more
efficient and effective, and to provide a competitive compensation package for recruitment and retention purposes. In addition, Mr. Adar
is entitled to certain Israeli-related benefits due to his employment in Israel.
Pursuant to the terms of the Adar Employment Agreement (as defined
below), we provided Mr. Adar with a Company-owned automobile for personal use including all of the fixed and variable maintenance costs,
including license, insurance, gas, and repairs relating to such automobile. Pursuant to the terms of the Adar Employment Agreement, we
also made contributions on behalf of Mr. Adar to (i) a pension fund selected by Mr. Adar (which a portion of the contributions thereto
are intended to be provided to Mr. Adar upon his termination from the Company in lieu of any severance payments that Mr. Adar would be
entitled to under Israeli law) and (ii) an education fund for the benefit of Mr. Adar.
Employment Agreements of Named Executive Officers
Each of Larry Jasinski, our CEO, Almog Adar, our Vice President
of Finance, and Jeannine Lynch, our Vice President of Market Access and Strategy, previously entered into an employment agreement with
our Subsidiary. These employment agreements set forth their respective terms of employment, which terms are generally applicable to all
of our executives, covering matters such as vacation, health and other benefits. The following are descriptions of the material terms
of our Named Executive Officers’ employment agreements.
Larry Jasinski
On January 17, 2011, we entered into an employment agreement with
Mr. Jasinski, pursuant to which he has served as the CEO of the Company since February 12, 2012 (as amended from time to time, the “Jasinski
Employment Agreement”). The Jasinski Employment Agreement provides for an annual base salary, subject to annual increases in the
discretion of, the Company, and an annual performance bonus. In accordance with previous shareholder approvals, the annual base salary
is currently $403,142. The annual performance bonus was originally set at up to 35% of annual base salary. In 2016, this was increased
to an annual performance bonus of up to 60% of annual base salary for achieving 100% of targets (with adjustment upward or downward for
performance exceeding or failing to meet such objectives, respectively). In 2020, this was increased to an annual performance bonus
of up to 70% of annual base salary for achieving 100% of targets (with adjustment upward or downward for performance exceeding or failing
to meet such objectives, respectively).
In the event that Mr. Jasinski’s employment is terminated
by the Company without “Cause” (as defined in the Jasinski Employment Agreement ), or if Mr. Jasinski terminates his employment
for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Jasinski Employment Agreement), he will be entitled to certain severance payments and
benefits, including: (i) a lump sum payment equal to 90 days of his base salary, (ii) an annual performance bonus (calculated based on
the assumption that to the extent performance objectives were achieved in the six-month period preceding his termination, they will also
be achieved in the six months following termination), (iii) reimbursement for any COBRA or other medical, dental and vision premiums for
six months following his termination and (iv) continued participation in any employee and executive benefit programs in effect as of his
termination and reimbursement for the premium or other fees associated with continuation in any insurance program available to the Company’s
employees as a non-employee or in a comparable program if participation as a non-employee would be barred. The Jasinski Employment Agreement
further provides that if Mr. Jasinski’s employment is terminated without Cause or by Mr. Jasinski for Good Reason, any unvested
portion of the options promised in the Jasinski Employment Agreement, which would have vested during the six months following such termination
had Mr. Jasinski remained employed by the Company, will automatically vest. If Mr. Jasinski terminates his employment without Good Reason,
he will be entitled to receive a pro-rated amount of his annual performance bonus as determined in good faith by the Board. Mr. Jasinski
is not entitled to any severance if he is terminated by the Company for Cause.
The Jasinski Employment Agreement was amended in 2020 to provide
that if a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Jasinski Employment Agreement) occurs, and within one year following
such Change of Control Mr. Jasinski is terminated without Cause or he resigns for Good Reason, Mr. Jasinski will be entitled to severance
of 18 months’ salary as well as an annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs (assuming achievement of 100% of milestones
and targets set by the board of directors).
The employment agreement is governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware and contains non-solicitation and non-competition covenants (each of which remains in effect during the term of employment and
for 12 months following termination of employment) and trade secrets and inventions clauses.
Almog Adar
On December 10, 2019, we entered into an employment agreement with
Mr. Adar (the “Adar Employment Agreement”). The Adar Employment Agreement provides for an annual base salary, and an additional
monthly payment for all of Mr. Adar’s overtime hours (as required by Israel law). Mr. Adar’s annual base salary is currently
$176,462, which includes payments for any overtime hours. Pursuant to the Adar Employment Agreement, the Company pays on behalf of Mr.
Adar approximately $1,700 on a monthly basis for his car-related costs (Mr. Adar is paid in NIS, and we have translated his payments to
U.S. dollars according to the average exchange rate in 2022). The Adar Employment Agreement also provides that the Company will insure
Mr. Adar under a “Manager’s Insurance Policy” (“Bituach Menahalim”)
or a Pension Fund (“Pension Fund”) to be selected by Mr. Adar. Accordingly, we make monthly contributions to the Pension Fund
selected by Mr. Adar on Mr. Adar’s behalf, and a portion of such contributions are made in lieu of the severance pay that Mr. Adar
would be entitled to under Israel law. In addition, we contribute on a monthly basis to an education fund (“Keren
Hishtalmut”) for the benefit of Mr. Adar in an annual amount equal to 7.5% of Mr. Adar’s annual salary (inclusive of
base salary and any amounts for overtime hours). The Adar Employment Agreement also provides that unused vacation days may be accumulated
(for two subsequent years) or redeemed under certain limitations. Mr. Adar is also entitled to recuperation pay (“Dmei
Havra’a”) in accordance with the provisions of the applicable law. Lastly, we agreed to provide Mr. Adar with a Company-owned
automobile for Mr. Adar’s personal use, and further agreed to bear all of the fixed and variable maintenance costs, including license,
insurance, gas, and repairs relating to such automobile.
Upon a termination of employment for any reason, Mr. Adar is entitled
to receive a distribution from the Pension Fund equal to the amounts we contributed on his behalf towards such termination during the
term of his employment.
Mr. Adar is not entitled to receive any termination or change in
control benefits under our Compensation Policy.
The Adar Employment Agreement is governed by the laws of the State
of Israel and contains non-compete covenants (which remains in effect during the term of employment and for 24 months following termination
of employment).
Jeannine Lynch
On July 22, 2021, we entered into an employment
agreement with Jeannine Lynch to serve as Vice President of Market Access and Strategy of the Company, effective August 31, 2021 (the
“Lynch Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Lynch Employment Agreement, Ms. Lynch is entitled to (i) an annual
base salary of $320,000, which was increased to $332,800 for fiscal year 2022, subject to increases as may be determined from time to
time by the compensation committee of the Board and (ii) an annual performance bonus up to 35% of annual base salary, subject to the achievement
of objectives as determined by the compensation committee of the Board. The Lynch Employment Agreement may be terminated by the Company
upon prior written notice.
In the event that (x) Ms. Lynch’s employment is terminated
for any reason other than for “cause” (as defined therein), death, or disability, (y) the Company moves its primary office
outside of the United States and/or reduces Ms. Lynch’s title or primary responsibilities, or (z) the Company moves Ms. Lynch’s
principal location of work, the Company shall pay monthly severance to Ms. Lynch at the rate per annum of her salary and bonus (and the
replacement cost of her benefits) at the time of such termination for a period from the date of such termination to the date which is

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
We have adopted, pursuant to shareholder approval, our Compensation
Policy, which provides for certain benefits to our executive officers upon retirement or termination, whether or not in the event of a
change in control. We may memorialize any of these benefits in arrangements we enter into with individual executive officers. Under the
Compensation Policy, executive officers may be entitled to advance notice of termination of up to 12 months and to obtain up to 12 months
of post-termination health insurance. In addition to receiving severance pay as required or facilitated under the local laws of the relevant
jurisdiction, executive officers may have the right to receive up to 12 months of base salary (18 months in the case of the CEO), bonus
and benefits, taking into account the period of the officer’s service or employment, his or her performance during employment and
contribution to the Company’s targets and profits and the circumstances surrounding termination of his or her employment. These
benefits are designed to attract and motivate highly skilled professionals to join our Company and to enable us in to retain key management.
To the extent our Named Executive Officers are entitled to receive
severance (except for any severance payments mandated by Israeli law for our Israeli employees) or change in control benefits, such entitlements
are contractually agreed upon between the Company and the applicable Named Executive Officer. Accordingly, for further information regarding
the payments and benefits our Named Executive Officers are entitled to receive upon a termination or change in control, please see “Executive
Compensation — Employment Agreements.”
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of the members of the compensation committee is, or has ever
been, an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, during the last fiscal year, no executive officer
of the Company served as a member of the board of directors or the compensation committee of another entity that has one or more executive
officers serving on the Company’s compensation committee or the Board.
Director Compensation
The following table provides certain information concerning the
compensation for services rendered in all capacities by each non-employee director serving on our Board during the year ended December
31, 2022, other than Mr. Larry Jasinski, our CEO, who did not receive additional compensation for his services as director and whose compensation
is set forth in the “2022 Summary Compensation Table” found elsewhere in this Amendment No. 1.

Amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value
of such awards issued under the 2014 Plan as an annual award to the applicable directors, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718,
which for all directors other than Mr. Turk represent an award of 50,000 RSUs, and for Mr. Turk represents an award of 42,735 RSUs. The
fair value of RSUs granted is determined based on the price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the date of grant. This amount does
not correspond to the actual value that may be recognized by the non-employee director upon the vesting of the RSUs. All RSUs become
vested and exercisable in four equal quarterly installments starting three months following the grant date. The valuation assumptions
used in determining such amounts are described in Notes 2l and 8b to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2022 Annual
Report. |

Cash compensation for our independent, non-employee directors’
services is governed by previous decisions of our compensation committee, Board and shareholders, and is subject to terms and conditions
of our Compensation Policy. Additionally, each independent, non-employee director currently receives upon his or her appointment a restricted
stock unit award (the “Initial RSU Award”), with such Initial RSU Award having a value equal to $50,000 on the date of grant
(as determined based on the closing price of our ordinary shares on the date of grant). Each independent, non-employee director is also
entitled to receive an annual grant of RSUs (the “Annual RSU Award”), with such Annual RSU Award having a value equal to $50,000
on the date of grant. The Initial RSU Award and Annual RSU Award each vest ratably in four equal quarterly installments starting three
months from the date of grant (subject to the non-employee director’s continued service with the Company through each applicable
vesting date), with the vesting of such awards to be accelerated upon certain change of control events in accordance with the Compensation
Policy. At our 2020 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Compensation Policy whereby (x) all or a portion
of our non-directors’ cash compensation may be paid in equity, at the discretion of our compensation committee, in order to preserve
the Company’s cash, and (y) equity compensation of directors will be payable in the first instance in RSUs but such compensation
may also be payable, at the discretion of our compensation committee, in cash, based on a formula to be determined and with such payment
provisions as shall result in the equivalent effect of vesting of RSUs, in order to preserve the equity available for incentives.
In addition, each director is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses
in connection with attending meetings of the Board of Directors or committees. Directors are also indemnified and insured by us for actions
associated with being a director to the extent permitted under Israeli law. For further discussion, see “Item 13—Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions and Director Independence—Agreements with Directors and Officers.” Further, none of our non-employee
directors receive any benefits upon termination of their directorship positions. The compensation committee reviews director compensation
annually and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to compensation and benefits provided to the members of the
Board.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP
OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
As of April 28, 2023, there were 59,492,688 ordinary shares outstanding,
excluding ordinary shares issuable in connection with the exercise of outstanding warrants or outstanding options or upon the vesting
of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The voting rights of all shareholders are the same.
The following table sets forth certain information as of April
28, 2023 concerning the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by:
|
• |
each person, or group of affiliated persons, known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares;
|
|
• |
each of our directors and director nominees; |
|
• |
each of our Named Executive Officers (as defined under “Summary Compensation Table” above); and |
|
• |
all of our directors and executive officers as a group. |
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules
of the SEC based on voting and investment power with respect to such shares. Shares subject to options or warrants that are currently
exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 28, 2023 and shares subject to RSUs that were vested as of or will vest within 60 days
of April 28, 2023 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding such options, RSUs or warrants for the
purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person. However, such shares are not deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially
owned for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
Under the terms of the terms of certain outstanding warrants, a
holder may not exercise the warrants to the extent that such shareholder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own, after
such exercise, more than 4.99% or 9.99% of the ordinary shares then outstanding, as applicable (subject to the right of the shareholder
with a 4.99% ownership limitation to increase or decrease such beneficial ownership limitation upon notice to us, provided that such limitation
cannot exceed 9.99%), and provided that any increase in the beneficial ownership limitation shall not be effective until 61 days after
such notice is delivered. Consistent with beneficial ownership reporting principles under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the below
table only shows ordinary shares underlying warrants that are deemed to be beneficially owned, assuming compliance with these ownership
limitations.
All information with respect to the beneficial ownership of any
principal shareholder has been furnished by such shareholder or is based on our filings with the SEC and, unless otherwise indicated below,
we believe that persons named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all the ordinary shares shown as
beneficially owned, subject to community property laws, where applicable. The ordinary shares beneficially owned by our directors and
officers may include shares owned by their respective family members, as to which such directors and officers disclaim beneficial ownership.
Unless otherwise noted below, each shareholder’s address is c/o ReWalk Robotics Ltd., 3 Hatnufa Street, Floor 6, Yokneam Ilit 2069203,
Israel.

ordinary shares then outstanding. Without such provisions, the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of
the ordinary shares underlying such warrants. Jeff Easton, the managing member of Lind Global Partners II LLC and Lind Global Partners
LLC, may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares held by Lind Global Macro Fund, LP and Lind Global
Fund II LP. The principal business address of the Reporting Persons is 444 Madison Avenue, Floor 41, New York, N.Y. 10022.

Partners II. Jeff Dykan and Wayne B. Weisman are the directors of SCP Vitalife GP and, as such, share voting and dispositive power over

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS
AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Director Independence
The information required by Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K is incorporated
by reference herein from Item 10 above as set forth under the caption “Director Independence.”
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
See “Item 11. Executive Compensation —Employment Agreements
of Named Executive Officers” for a description of employment agreements between us and the Named Executive Officers.
We describe below transactions and series of similar transactions
which are currently proposed or to which we have been or were a party since January 1, 2021, in which (a) the amount involved exceeds
or exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at year-end for the last two completed
fiscal years and (b) any of our directors, executive officers, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our ordinary shares, or any affiliates
or members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Although
we do not have a formal written policy as to the approval of related party transactions, all related party transactions for which disclosure
would be required under Item 404 of Regulation S-K are approved based on procedures under Israeli law, as is duly memorialized in the
minutes of the meetings of the Board and audit committee, as applicable.
Transactions with Current and/or Former 5%
Beneficial Owners
Since January 1, 2021, we entered into the following transactions
with other shareholders who are currently 5% beneficial owners or who we believe beneficially owned at the time of such transactions or
became as a result of such transactions more than 5% of our ordinary shares, based on a review of Schedule 13G filings made and Company
records during such period.
Former 5% Beneficial Owners
On February 19, 2021, in a private placement, we sold to Intracoastal
Capital, LLC and/or its affiliates (“Intracoastal”) 819,112 ordinary shares and warrants to purchase 409,556 ordinary shares
with an exercise price of $3.60 per share, at a sale price of $3.6625 per share and associated warrant. On September 27, 2021, in a registered
direct offering, we sold to Intracoastal 2,457,004 ordinary shares and warrants to purchase 1,228,5802 ordinary shares with an exercise
price of $2.00 per share, at a sale price of $2.035 per share and associated warrant.
We engaged in certain warrant exercise agreements and private placements,
best efforts offerings and registered direct offerings of ordinary shares and/or warrants with a number of investors who we believe were
5% beneficial owners at the time of such transactions. These include Intracoastal, Anson Funds Management LP and/or its affiliates, Armistice
Capital Master Fund Ltd. and its affiliates, CVI Investments, Inc. and its affiliates, and Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund, Ltd and
its affiliates. For information regarding these transactions, see our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-254147), filed
with the SEC on March 11, 2021, and our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-260382), filed with the SEC on October 20, 2021.
Agreements with Directors, Officers and Others
Employment Agreements
We have entered into written employment agreements with each of
our executive officers. These agreements provide for notice periods of varying duration for termination of the agreement by us or by the
relevant executive officer, during which time the executive officer will continue to receive base salary and benefits. We have also entered
into customary non-competition, confidentiality of information and ownership of inventions arrangements with our executive officers. However,
the enforceability of the noncompetition provisions may be limited under applicable law.
Options
Since our inception we have granted options to purchase our ordinary
shares to our officers and certain of our directors. Such option agreements may contain acceleration provisions upon certain merger, acquisition,
or change of control transactions.
Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance
Our Articles of Association permit us to exculpate, indemnify and
insure certain of our office holders to the fullest extent permitted by the Israel Companies Law. We have entered into indemnification
agreements with our office holders, exculpating them from a breach of their duty of care to us to the fullest extent permitted by law
and undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to certain exceptions, including with respect to liabilities
resulting from our IPO to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by insurance.
Consulting Agreement with Randel Richner
At our 2022 annual meeting of shareholders, our shareholders approved
the terms of a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Richner Consultants, LLC, a Delaware company (the “Consultant”)
owned by Randel E. Richner, a member of our Board. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, the Consultant provided us with the following
services during 2022: strategic advisory consultation on activities related to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”),
a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, including reviewing Company submissions to CMS; reviewing the Company’s
dossier submitted to third-party insurers; coordinating and establishing lobbying efforts for the Company with U.S. government agencies;
review and support with respect to reimbursements from private payers and with on-going interactions with the U.S. Veterans Benefits Administration;
and other reimbursement-related matters as designated and agreed to with our CEO, including international reimbursement activities as
needed. The services to be provided under the Consulting Agreement by the Consultant were provided solely by Ms. Richner.
The services were provided on an hourly basis at a rate of $425
per hour, payable by us on a monthly basis subject to the Consultant providing monthly invoices for the review of both our Chairman of
the Board and our CEO. Under the Consulting Agreement, the aggregate total number of consulting hours provided by the Consultant cannot
exceed 282 hours.
The term of the Consulting Agreement commenced January 1, 2022,
and expired December 31, 2022. Approximately $119,850 was paid to the Consultant during the term of the Consulting Agreement.
Approval of Related Party Transactions Under Israeli Law
Disclosure of Personal Benefits or Other Interests
of an Office Holder and Approval of Certain Transactions
The Israel Companies Law requires that an office holder promptly
disclose to the board of directors any personal benefit or other interest that he or she may have, and all related material information
or documents, concerning any existing or proposed transaction with the company. A personal benefit or other interest includes the individual’s
own benefit or other interest and, in some cases, a personal benefit or other interest of such person’s relative or an entity in
which such individual, or his or her relative, is a 5% or greater shareholder, director or general manager, or in which he or she has
the right to appoint at least one director or the general manager, but does not include a personal benefit or other interest stemming
only from ownership of our shares.
If an office holder has a personal benefit or other interest in
a transaction, approval by the board of directors is required for the transaction. Once an office holder has disclosed his or her personal
benefit or other interest in a transaction, the board of directors may approve an action by the office holder that would otherwise be
deemed a breach of duty of loyalty. A company may not, however, approve a transaction or action unless it is in the best interests of
the company, or if the office holder is not acting in good faith.
Special approval is required for an extraordinary transaction,
which under the Israel Companies Law is defined as any of the following:
|
• |
a transaction other than in the ordinary course of business; |
|
• |
a transaction that is not on market terms; or |
|
• |
a transaction that may have a material impact on a company’s profitability, assets or liabilities. |
An extraordinary transaction in which an office holder has a personal
benefit or other interest requires approval first by the company’s audit committee and subsequently by the board of directors. The
compensation of, or an undertaking to indemnify or insure, an office holder who is not a director requires approval first by the company’s
compensation committee, then by the company’s board of directors and, if such compensation arrangement or an undertaking to indemnify
or insure is inconsistent with the Company’s compensation policy or if the office holder is the Chief Executive Officer (apart from
a number of specific exceptions), then such arrangement is subject to shareholder approval by a simple majority, which must also include
at least a majority of the shares voted by all shareholders who are neither controlling shareholders nor have a personal benefit or other
interest in such compensation arrangement (alternatively, in addition to a simple majority, the total number of shares voted against the
compensation arrangement by non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal benefit or other interest in the
arrangement may not exceed 2% of our outstanding shares). We refer to this as the “Special Approval for Compensation”. Arrangements
regarding the compensation, indemnification or insurance of a director require the approval of the compensation committee, board of directors
and shareholders by a simple majority, in that order, and under certain circumstances, a Special Approval for Compensation.
Generally, a person who has a personal benefit or other interest
in a matter that is considered at a meeting of the board of directors or the audit committee may not be present at such a meeting or vote
on that matter unless the chairman of the board of directors or the audit committee (as applicable) determines that he or she should be
present in order to present the transaction that is subject to approval. If a majority of the members of the board of directors or the
audit committee (as applicable) have a personal benefit or other interest in the approval of a transaction, then all directors may participate
in discussions of the board of directors or the audit committee (as applicable) on such transaction and in the voting, but shareholder
approval is also required for such transaction.
Disclosure of Personal Benefits or Other Interests
of Controlling Shareholders and Approval of Certain Transactions
Pursuant to the Israel Companies Law, the disclosure requirements
regarding personal benefits or other interests that apply to directors and executive officers also apply to a controlling shareholder
of a public company. In this context, a controlling shareholder includes a shareholder who holds 25% or more of our outstanding shares
if no other shareholder holds more than 50% of our outstanding shares. For this purpose, the holdings of all shareholders who have a personal
benefit or other interest in the same transaction will be aggregated. The approval of the audit committee, the board of directors and
the shareholders of the company, in that order, is required for (a) extraordinary transactions with a controlling shareholder or in which
a controlling shareholder has a personal benefit or other interest, (b) our engagement with a controlling shareholder or his or her relative,
directly or indirectly, for the provision of services to us, (c) the terms of engagement and compensation of a controlling shareholder
or his or her relative who is not an office holder or (d) our employment of a controlling shareholder or his or her relative, other than
as an office holder. In addition to shareholder approval by a simple majority, the transaction must be approved by a Special Majority.
To the extent that any such transaction with a controlling shareholder
is for a period extending beyond three years, approval is required once every three years, unless, with respect to certain transactions,
the audit committee determines that the duration of the transaction is reasonable under the circumstances.
Arrangements regarding the compensation, indemnification or insurance
of a controlling shareholder in his or her capacity as an office holder require the approval of the compensation committee, board of directors
and shareholders, in that order, by a Special Majority, and the terms must be consistent with our Compensation Policy.
Pursuant to regulations promulgated under the Israel Companies
Law, certain transactions with a controlling shareholder or his or her relative, or with directors, that would otherwise require approval
of our shareholders may be exempt from shareholder approval upon certain determinations of the audit committee and board of directors.
Under these regulations, we must publish these determinations, and a shareholder holding at least 1% of our outstanding shares may, within
14 days of after publication, demand shareholder approval despite such determinations.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

of our independent accountant to perform certain audit and non-audit services. Pursuant to this policy, which is designed to ensure that
such engagements do not impair the independence of our auditors, the audit committee pre-approves annually a catalog of specific audit
and non-audit services in the categories of audit service, audit-related service and tax services that may be performed by our independent
accountants.
All engagements by us of the auditors for 2021 and 2022 were pre-approved
by the audit committee.
