Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Lifeward Ltd. received an additional 180-day grace period from Nasdaq, until August 3, 2026, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The company previously failed to meet this rule by the initial February 2, 2026 deadline.

Shareholders have already approved a reverse share split, and the board has set a 1-for-12 split ratio, with timing and implementation to be decided. Lifeward plans to monitor its share price and consider actions, including the approved reverse split, but notes there is no assurance it will regain compliance or avoid a potential delisting process.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Continued Nasdaq noncompliance and delisting risk: Lifeward missed the initial February 2, 2026 deadline to restore its bid price to at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days and now faces potential Nasdaq delisting if it cannot regain compliance by August 3, 2026, even with an approved 1-for-12 reverse split available.

Insights

Lifeward gets more time on Nasdaq, but delisting risk remains.

Lifeward Ltd. has been granted an extra 180 days, until August 3, 2026, to meet Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price rule after missing the initial February 2, 2026 deadline. Compliance requires a closing bid of at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days.

Shareholders approved a reverse share split with a 1-for-12 ratio, and the board has confirmed that ratio, giving a concrete tool to lift the trading price if implemented. The company indicates it will monitor its share price and consider plans that include this reverse split.

If Lifeward does not regain compliance by the extended date, Nasdaq may begin delisting proceedings, though an appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel would keep the shares listed pending a decision. The eventual listing outcome will depend on trading performance and any corporate actions taken before August 3, 2026.

Item 8.01          Other Events.

As previously reported, Lifeward Ltd. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on August 5, 2025 indicating that, based on the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company was not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until February 2, 2026 (the “Initial Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
 
The Company did not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by the Initial Compliance Date. On February 3, 2026, the Company received a notification letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Company has been provided an additional period of 180 calendar days, or until August 3, 2026 (the “Extended Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If, at any time before the Extended Compliance Date, the closing bid price for the Company’s ordinary shares is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Bid Price Rule, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that it complies with the Bid Price Rule.
 
As previously reported, at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on January 6, 2026, the shareholders of the Company approved a reverse share split with a split ratio in the range of 1-for-2 and 1-for-12 and the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) subsequently approved a split ratio of 1-for-12, with the timing and implementation of such reverse share split to be determined by the Board (the “Reverse Share Split”). The Company intends to monitor closely the closing bid price of its ordinary shares and to consider plans for regaining compliance with the Bid Price Rule, including but not limited to the Reverse Share Split. While the Company plans to review all available options, there can be no assurance that it will be able to regain compliance with the applicable rules during the additional 180-day compliance period.
 
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule during the applicable cure period, Nasdaq will notify the Company that its ordinary shares are subject to delisting. The Company would then be permitted to appeal any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The Company’s ordinary shares would remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market pending the Hearing Panel’s decision after the hearing.

FAQ

What did Lifeward Ltd. (LFWD) announce about its Nasdaq listing status?

Lifeward disclosed that Nasdaq granted an additional 180-day period, until August 3, 2026, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price rule. The company previously missed the initial February 2, 2026 deadline, so its ordinary shares remain at risk of eventual delisting.

Why is Lifeward Ltd. (LFWD) out of compliance with Nasdaq rules?

Lifeward is out of compliance because its closing bid price stayed below Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum for 30 consecutive business days. This triggered a deficiency notice under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), putting the company at risk of delisting if the minimum bid price is not restored.

How long does Lifeward Ltd. (LFWD) have to regain Nasdaq bid price compliance?

Lifeward now has until August 3, 2026 to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. It must achieve a closing bid of at least $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days within this additional 180-day period.

What reverse share split has Lifeward Ltd. (LFWD) approved?

Lifeward shareholders approved a reverse share split, and the board set a 1-for-12 split ratio. The timing and implementation are at the board’s discretion, and the company is considering using this Reverse Share Split as one option to help regain Nasdaq bid price compliance.

What happens if Lifeward Ltd. (LFWD) cannot meet the Nasdaq bid price rule?

If Lifeward does not regain compliance during the allowed period, Nasdaq will notify the company that its ordinary shares are subject to delisting. Lifeward could then appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, and its shares would remain listed while the panel reviews the case.

How will Lifeward Ltd. (LFWD) try to regain Nasdaq compliance?

Lifeward states it intends to monitor its closing bid price closely and consider plans to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. These plans may include implementing the approved 1-for-12 Reverse Share Split, although there is no assurance any approach will succeed.
