EKSO Ekso Bionics Holdings Inc

On May 22, 2017, Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) implemented a plan to streamline its operations and reduce its workforce by approximately 25% in order to lower operating expenses and reduce cash burn.

The Company is offering severance benefits to the affected employees, including cash severance payments, grants of restricted stock units, outplacement services and payment of health care insurance premiums for specified periods. Each affected employee’s eligibility for the severance benefits is contingent upon such employee’s execution of a separation agreement, which includes a general release of claims against the Company.

The Company expects to record restructuring-related expenses in 2017 of approximately $1.0 million related to termination benefit costs and other costs associated with the workforce reduction. Approximately $0.8 million of these expenses are expected to represent cash expenditures, most of which will be expensed and paid in the second quarter of 2017, with the remaining cash expenditures paid in the third quarter of 2017. The remaining approximately $0.2 million are one-time, non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses and are expected to be expensed in the third quarter of 2017.

The charge that the Company expects to incur in connection with these actions is subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ. The Company may also incur other charges not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or associated with, the plan. The Company expects to complete these actions by the end of the third quarter of 2017.
