ReWalk Robotics acquires AlterG

AlterG is a leader in transformative technology that empowers people to recover mobility, improve wellness, and enhance physical performance. AlterG develops, manufactures, and markets Anti-Gravity systems, which use patented, NASA-derived Differential Air Pressure technology to reduce the effects of gravity and allow people to move in new ways with finely calibrated support and reduced pain.

AlterG systems can be found in more than 4,000 facilities around the world and have helped millions to safely and consistently reach their goals and achieve better mobility outcomes. "This transaction is truly transformative for ReWalk and is a milestone in our long-term strategy for growth from both our existing portfolio of products and from synergistic acquisitions," said Larry Jasinski, Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of ReWalk.

"We believe this transaction will leverage our combined market presence from both businesses and, by creating sales and support efficiencies across all product lines, accelerate our path to profitability. Through this transaction, we believe we will create a formidable commercial infrastructure to support multiple additional products across the continuum of care from the clinic to the home." "AlterG and ReWalk share a common vision of combining synergistic industry-leading products into a world-class portfolio which leverages our collective strengths," added Charles Remsberg, CEO of AlterG. "This transaction instantly creates the scale to fund next-generation enhancements to our existing products and to pursue other innovative and commercial rehabilitation technologies that further strengthen our relationships with our customers as a key resource for innovative solutions in neurological and physical rehabilitation."
