Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers

On April 20, 2017, the compensation committee (the Compensation
Committee) of the Board of Directors of Ekso Bionics Holdings,
Inc. (the Company) approved the Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. 2017
Short Term Incentive Plan (the Plan), which is designed to
provide cash bonus awards to the Companys executive officers
subject to the achievement of goals established by the
Compensation Committee related to corporate performance in 2017.

The amount of the cash bonus that any executive officer will be
eligible to receive is based on a predetermined target percent of
his base salary. For Thomas Looby, our Chief Executive Officer,
the annual cash incentive award target level is 50% of his annual
base salary for 2017. For each of Maximilian Scheder-Bieschin,
our Chief Financial Officer, Gregory Davault, our Vice President,
Global Marketing and Russell DeLonzor, our Vice President,
Operations, the annual cash incentive award target level is 40%
of his annual base salary for 2017. For Russdon Angold, President
of Ekso Labs, the annual cash incentive award target level is 30%
of his annual base salary for 2017.

Payment of cash bonuses under the Plan will be based upon
achievement of specific corporate goals established by the
Compensation Committee and described below, which are weighted
from 5-50%, depending on the role and responsibilities of each
individual executive officer.In determining whether the Companys
corporate goals have been achieved, the Compensation Committee
may consider achievements and other factors (positive and
negative) it considers appropriate.

The following is a description of the 2017 corporate goals:

For each performance criteria, the Compensation Committee
established target levels of performance to earn 50% of the
portion of the bonus allocated to the achievement of the
performance criteria. In addition, in order to encourage the
executive officers to exceed the target performance related to
specific goals, the Compensation Committee also set above target
and maximum levels of performance for certain specific goals to
earn 150% or 200% of the portion of the bonus allocated to the
achievement of such goals, as applicable.

Following completion of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017,
the Compensation Committee will evaluate the performance of the
Company and each executive officer against the 2017 corporate
goals and will determine the amount of the cash award, if any, to
be paid to each of the executive officers under the Plan. The
Compensation Committee has the authority to make discretionary
adjustments to the annual cash incentive program, including the
ability to make additional awards based on the Companys executive
officers performance and to modify the corporate and individual
performance targets and to increase or decrease the amount of the
awards that the Companys executive officers receive in
conjunction with their achievement of the targets and also based
upon the Companys cash resources as of December 31, 2017 and the
date of the payment of the annual cash incentive awards.
