Lifeward Announces Postponement of its Extraordinary

General Meeting of Shareholders

MARLBOROUGH, MA, and YOKNEAM ILLIT, Israel, December 27, 2024 – Lifeward Ltd. (Nasdaq: LFWD) (“Lifeward” or the “Company”), a global market leader delivering life-changing solutions to revolutionize what is possible in rehabilitation, recovery, and the pursuit of life’s passions in the face of physical limitation or disability, today announced that the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting), which was originally scheduled to be held on Monday, December 30, 2024, has been postponed. The Meeting is now scheduled to be held at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on Monday, January 13, 2025 at the Company’s offices at 200 Donald Lynch Blvd., Marlborough, MA 01752, U.S.A. The record date for the Meeting, November 20, 2024, is unchanged and applies to the postponed Meeting.

The Meeting has been postponed due to an anticipated lack of quorum, and to provide further time to solicit proxies from the Company’s shareholders. Lifeward’s Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the proposals identified in the Company's proxy statement for the Meeting. Shareholders who have already cast their votes do not need to take any action, unless they wish to change or revoke their prior proxy or voting instructions, and their votes will be counted at the postponed Meeting. For shareholders who have not yet cast their votes, we urge them to vote their shares now, so they can be tabulated prior to the postponed Meeting.

The Company plans to hold an Investor Day soon after the Meeting, with the exact date to be confirmed.
