Shares of the Company's common stock are currently quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol "EKSO."

"We are pleased at the interest we have received from investors in this APO financing." said Nathan Harding, the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

Ekso Bionics designs, develops, and commercializes exoskeletons, or wearable robots, which have a variety of applications in the medical, military, industrial, and consumer markets. Exoskeletons are ready-to-wear, battery-powered robots that are strapped over the user's clothing, enabling individuals to achieve mobility, strength, and endurance not otherwise possible.

Ekso Bionics' lead product, Ekso™, is a wearable bionics suit that enables individuals with any amount of lower extremity weakness to stand up and walk over ground. Ekso is forging a new frontier in rehabilitation for people living with the consequences of stroke, spinal cord injury and other neurological conditions affecting gait.

Steven Sherman, the Company's Chairman added, "I am very proud of the initial success of the Ekso in rehabilitation centers worldwide, as well as the recent surge of media awareness that explores the range of possibilities for bionic robots. We see a future with wearable robots that enable people to walk again, as well as enhance their daily lives."
