This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this "Amendment") amends Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc.'s (the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 23, 2026 (the "Original Filing").
This Amendment is being filed solely for the purposes of providing the information required in Part III of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 because a definitive proxy statement containing such information will not be filed within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year. Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, we have also included as exhibits currently dated certifications required under Section 302 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Because no financial statements are contained within this Amendment, we are not including certifications pursuant to Section 906 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We are amending and refiling Part IV, Item 15 to reflect the inclusion of those certifications, along with any changes to Part IV that occurred after the date of the Original Filing. In addition, we made certain revisions to the cover page, including the deletion of the reference to our proxy statement and the amendment to our Annual Report on Form 10-K and inclusion of updated outstanding share information. This Amendment makes no other changes to the Original Filing.
Unless otherwise noted herein, including in Item 12 of this Amendment, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Filing and does not modify or update disclosures contained in the Original Filing, including, without limitation, the financial statements. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and with the Company’s other filings with the SEC.

Involvement in Legal Proceedings
No director or associate of a director is involved in any material proceeding as a party adverse to the Company or with a material interest adverse to the Company.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among the Company’s directors or executive officers.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires our executive officers and directors and beneficial owners of more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with the SEC.
SEC regulations require us to identify in this Amendment anyone who filed a required report late during the most recent fiscal year. To our knowledge, based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5s were required for such persons, we believe that during 2025 all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners were complied with on a timely basis.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all directors, officers and employees of the Company.

The Audit Committee met four times during 2025.

The Nominating and Governance Committee met one time during 2025.
Role of Board in Risk Oversight
The responsibility for the day-to-day management of risk lies with the Company’s management, while our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the risk management process to ensure that it is properly designed, well-functioning and consistent with our overall corporate strategy. Material risks that management identifies are discussed and analyzed with our Board of Directors. However, in addition to our Board of Directors, the committees of the Board consider the risks within their areas of responsibility. The Audit Committee oversees the risks associated with the Company’s financial reporting and internal controls, as well as general business and operating risks. The Compensation Committee oversees the risks associated with the Company’s compensation practices for its directors and employees. The Nominating and Governance Committee oversees the risks associated with the Company’s overall governance, corporate compliance policies and its succession planning process to ensure that we have a slate of qualified candidates for key management positions that may become open in the future. Each committee reports to our Board of Directors on a regular basis, including reports with respect to the committee’s risk oversight activities as appropriate. In addition, since risk issues often overlap, committees from time-to-time request that the full Board discuss particular risks.
Employee, Officer and Director Hedging
We have adopted a policy that no director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company may engage in hedging or monetization transactions contracts involving securities of the Company. Such transactions may include zero-cost collars, forward sale contracts and other transactions which allow one to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, in exchange for all or part of the potential upside appreciation in the stock.
Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale and/or other disposition of our securities by our directors, officers, employees and other covered persons. We believe this policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, as well as the listing standards of Nasdaq. A copy of our insider trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this report. In addition, with regard to the Company's trading of its own securities, it is our policy to comply with federal securities laws and applicable exchange listing requirements.
Compensation Recovery ("Clawback") Policy
Our Board of Directors has adopted a compensation recovery policy (the "Clawback Policy") to comply with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), as implemented by Nasdaq and the SEC’s rules and regulations. The Clawback Policy requires us to recover certain cash or equity-based incentive compensation payments or awards made or granted to an executive officer in the event we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (an "Accounting Restatement"). The Clawback Policy covers cash or equity-based compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a company financial reporting measure (including stock price or total stockholder return). Recovery under the Clawback Policy applies to incentive compensation subject to the policy that is received (i) on or after October 2, 2023, (ii) by a person after such individual became an executive officer and the person served as an executive officer at any time during the performance period for the incentive compensation, and (iii) during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which we are required to prepare the Accounting Restatement while we have a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange. In addition, recoupment is only required where the executive officer would have received a lower payment based upon the restated financial results.
Practices with Regard to Timing of Equity Awards
Our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee do not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity grants. We do not have a policy or practice to time stock options based on the release of material nonpublic information.

Short-Term Incentive Plan
We have established a short-term incentive plan that is designed to provide short-term incentive awards to certain of our executive officers, and is based on the achievement of goals related to corporate performance.
For 2025, Mr. Davis, Mr. Wong and Mr. Jones had a target bonus opportunity equal to 50% of their annual base salary. All incentive awards payable under our short-term incentive plan were payable in cash. Payment of such incentive awards were based upon achievement of corporate goals over two performance periods, consisting of the first half of calendar year 2025 and a performance period covering the full-year, payable to each participating executive officer. The first and second performance periods had weightings of 35% and 65%, respectively.
The applicable corporate goals in respect of 2025 related to revenue, cash spend, and other key milestones, including developing predictable revenue models for sales, improving brand awareness, streamlining reimbursement processes with third-party payers, new product developments and releases, obtaining regulatory certifications, improving operations and meeting strategic initiatives. In determining whether our revenue, cash spend, and milestone performance targets have been achieved, the Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors may consider any factors and achievements they deem appropriate, and has discretionary authority to make adjustments, including the ability to make additional awards based on company-wide or an individual executive officers’ performance and to increase or decrease the level of awards that our executive officers receive in conjunction with their performance against the targets and also based upon our cash resources.
Based on its evaluation of company-wide performance for each of the two performance periods, the Board of Directors recommended that incentive awards be granted based on achievement of the revenue, cash spend and milestone performance goals at the following levels of achievement: 0% for the first half of 2025 and 30% for the full-year performance period.
As a result, for 2025, Mr. Davis received incentive awards in the aggregate amount of $63,750, Mr. Wong received incentive awards in the aggregate amount of $48,750, and Mr. Jones received incentive awards in the aggregate amount of $48,750.
Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plans
None of our directors or executive officers have adopted written plans, known as Rule 10b5-1 plans, in which they would provide instructions to a broker to sell shares of our common stock upon grant of stock options to them or the vesting of RSUs previously granted to them in order to satisfy the withholding tax obligations arising from such event. Under such Rule 10b5-1 plans, a broker executes trades on a best execution basis, without further direction from such directors and executive officers. If adopted, the director or executive officer would be permitted to amend or terminate the 10b5-1 plan only under specified circumstances.

Discussion of Director Compensation
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors believes that our director compensation program should promote total value creation for the Company and our stockholders and create alignment between the long- term interests of our directors and the long-term interests of our stockholders. At the same time, we believe that our director compensation program should provide a reasonable reward to our directors for the services they perform and should be reflective of the amount of effort and time required of each individual director, based on his or her role and responsibilities and participating in committees. Accordingly, we grant all or a portion of director compensation in the form of shares of the Company's common stock.
Non-employee directors’ compensation is generally determined and awarded by our Board of Directors based on the recommendations of our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things, reviewing, evaluating and designing our director compensation program. Based on recommendations by our Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors previously approved the following annual payments for members and chairs of our Board of Directors, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee, excluding employee directors.

In addition, our Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, approved an additional annual retainer for our lead independent director of $25,000. Ms. Cloyd has served as our lead independent director since the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
At each annual meeting of stockholders, our non-employee directors are also entitled to an annual grant of restricted stock units with an approximate value of $100,000, with the exact number of restricted stock units to be calculated based off of the average of the closing prices for the Company’s common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market for the 30 trading days up to and including the date of the annual meeting. These restricted stock units will vest and settle at the earlier of (i) the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders or (ii) the one-year anniversary of the grant date.
Due to his officer role, Mr. Davis was considered to be an "employee director" in 2025 and therefore not entitled to the compensation applicable to our non-employee directors as described above. Mr. Davis's compensation for 2025 is reported in the Summary Compensation Table above.
Item 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGERS AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following table sets forth the number of outstanding shares of our common stock beneficially owned by (1) each of our current directors, (2) each of our named executive officers that are not directors, (3) all of our directors and executive officers as a group, and (4) all persons known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding voting shares.

For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares and voting percentage of our common stock held by each person or group of persons named above, the applicable percentage ownership is based on 3,563,381 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the Determination Date, and 5,852 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, including any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within 60 days of Determination Date are deemed to be outstanding for such person, but not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by any person.
Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., 101 Glacier Point, Suite A, San Rafael, California 94901.

Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions
It is the Company’s policy that each executive officer and director delivers to the Company annually a questionnaire that includes, among other things, a request for information relating to any transactions in which both the executive officer, director or nominee, or their family members, and the Company participates, and in which the executive officer, director or nominee, or such family member, has a material interest. Under our related persons transaction policy, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors reviews all such transactions reported to it by an executive officer, director or nominee in response to the questionnaire, or that are brought to its attention by management or otherwise. After review, the Audit Committee approves, ratifies or disapproves such transactions. Management also updates our Board of Directors as to any material changes to proposed transactions as they occur. If a related person transaction is ongoing, the Audit Committee may establish guidelines for the Company to follow in its ongoing dealings with the related person.
Transactions with Related Persons
SEC rules require us to disclose any transaction since the beginning of the fiscal year preceding our last fiscal year or currently proposed transaction in which we are a participant and in which any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest and in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee for director, or holder of more than 5% of our common stock (which we refer to as a "5% stockholder"), or an immediate family member of any of those persons.
Indemnification Agreements
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers.
Board Determination of Independence
Our Board of Directors has determined that all of its directors, except Mr. Davis, our Chief Executive Officer, are independent directors under the applicable standards of the SEC and the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"). In making this determination, our Board of Directors considered the current and prior relationships that each director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances the Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each director.
