Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As disclosed in the Form 8-K filed on March 8, 2018, by ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on March 6, 2018, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Timwell Corporation Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed, in return for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $20.0 million, to issue to Investor an aggregate of 16,000,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares at a price per share of $1.25. The shares are to be issued in three tranches, consisting of $5.0 million for 4,000,000 shares in the first tranche (the “First Tranche Closing”), $10.0 million for 8,000,000 shares in the second tranche and $5.0 million for 4,000,000 shares in the third tranche. The First Tranche Closing was subject to the Company receiving the approval by the Company’s shareholders of the issuance of the shares.
As disclosed in the Form 8-K filed on April 30, 2018, by the Company with the SEC, on April 30, 2018, the Company’s shareholders approved the issuance of the shares. The First Tranche Closing was held on May 15, 2018, and the Company received $5.0 million from the Investor and issued 4,000,000 shares. On a post-transaction basis, based on 30,633,885 of the Company’s ordinary shares outstanding as of May 15, 2018 (excluding ordinary shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of derivative securities owned by other shareholders or shares issued under our equity incentive plans), after the First Tranche Closing the Investor beneficially owns approximately 11.6% of the Company’s ordinary shares.
3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information in Item 2.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
We believe that the issuance of the ordinary shares at the First Tranche Closing described in Item 2.01 is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in reliance on Regulation S or pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act regarding transactions by an issuer, in each case, involving offers and sales of securities outside the United States with no directed selling efforts or not involving a public offering, respectively. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Investor represented its knowledge and financial sophistication as an investor and its intention to acquire the ordinary shares for investment only and not with a view to, or in connection with, the distribution thereof. No general advertising or solicitation has been used in offering, or will be used in selling, the ordinary shares, and the shares were offered only to Investor, a non-U.S. entity, in a transaction outside the United States.
