Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

As previously disclosed on January 12, 2026, Lifeward Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Share Purchase Agreement”) with Oramed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Oramed”) and Oratech Pharma, Inc. (“Oratech Pharma”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests in Oratech Pharma, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oramed (the “Oratech Share Purchase”). On March 25, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of Oratech in accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement.

At the closing of the Oratech Share Purchase, the Company issued an aggregate 2,256,476 shares of its ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) and pre-funded warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). As additional consideration to Oramed, the Company also issued 1,296,296 warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares (the “Transaction Warrants”) and has agreed to pay Oramed certain quarterly revenue sharing payments based on sales of the Company’s ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton products and related extended warranties.

On March 25, 2026, in connection with the closing of the Company’s acquisition of Oratech Pharma, the Company entered into: (i) a First Amendment to Share Purchase Agreement with Oramed and Oratech Pharma, pursuant to which the rights and obligations of Oratech Pharma under the Share Purchase Agreement were assigned to Oratech Ltd. (“Oratech”) (the “Amendment”) and (ii) an Assignment of Share Purchase Agreement with Oratech Pharma, and Oratech, pursuant to which Oratech Pharma transferred and assigned all of its rights, title and interest under the Share Purchase Agreement to Oratech and acknowledged by Lifeward and Oramed (the “Assignment”). The foregoing descriptions of the Amendment and the Assignment are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, the forms of which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

The material terms and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement were described in Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on January 13, 2026 (the “Prior Report”) under the heading Share Purchase Agreement with Oramed, which description is incorporated herein by reference and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Share Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Prior Report.

Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

As previously disclosed and in connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Oramed, certain investors and Oramed, as collateral agent, on January 12, 2026, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to Oramed and certain investors senior secured convertible notes convertible into Ordinary Shares and accompanying warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares. On March 25, 2026, the Company issued: (i) $10,000,000.00 aggregate principal amount senior secured convertible notes (the “Initial Notes”), convertible into Ordinary Shares, and (ii) accompanying warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares (the “Initial Warrants”).

The issuance of the Ordinary Shares and the Ordinary Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”) were made in reliance on the exemption afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities or “blue sky” laws. The Securities issued were not registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The issuance of the Securities did not involve a public offering and were made without general solicitation or general advertising. Oramed and certain investors have represented that they are accredited investors, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and that they are acquiring the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of the securities in violation of the United States federal securities laws.

The material terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement were described in Item 1.01 of the Prior Report under the heading Securities Purchase Agreement, which description is incorporated herein by reference and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Prior Report.
