Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K is filed by ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (noting the input metadata reference to "Lifeward Ltd." appears to be an error as the filing explicitly names ReWalk Robotics) for the reporting period ending March 27, 2020. The report addresses a notification received on March 24, 2020, regarding the company's compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific financial data such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity figures. It references the company's 2019 Form 10-K, which noted a "substantial doubt" regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern, but no new quantitative financial metrics are disclosed in this document.
Material Changes
The primary material event is the receipt of a "Bid Price Letter" from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. ReWalk Robotics failed to satisfy Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. The company became deficient on March 24, 2020, after its closing bid price remained below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Compliance Timeline: The company has 180 days (until September 21, 2020) to regain compliance by maintaining a closing bid price of at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days.
- Secondary Compliance Period: If the company maintains a market value of publicly held shares of at least $1 million and meets other initial listing standards by September 21, 2020, it may be eligible for a second 180-day compliance period.
- Delisting Risk: Failure to regain compliance could lead to delisting. The company retains the right to appeal any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
- Management Commentary: Management intends to monitor the share price closely and consider plans to regain compliance, though there is no assurance of success.
- Key Risks: The filing highlights significant risks including the "substantial doubt" about going concern status, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, insufficient funds for capital requirements, and the potential consequences of delisting.
