NOTICE OF 2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE

HELD ON MAY 16, 2025

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") of Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), will be held virtually via webcast on May 16, 2025 at 9:00 a.m., PDT, for the purpose of considering and voting upon the following matters:

1.To elect five persons to our board of directors (the "Board of Directors"), to serve until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2026 and until their respective successors are elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal ("Proposal One");
2.To authorize our Board of Directors to effect, in its discretion, a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share ("common stock"), at a ratio of not less than 1-for-5 and not more than 1-for-15, with the exact ratio of any reverse stock split (the "Split Ratio") to be set within the above range as determined by our Board of Directors in its discretion, and without a corresponding reduction in the total number of authorized shares of common stock ("Proposal Two" or the "Reverse Stock Split Proposal");
3.To amend the Company's Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to awards granted thereunder from 4,724,286 shares to 7,024,286 shares (or the quotient obtained by dividing such number by the Split Ratio, if the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved and implemented) ("Proposal Three");
4.To approve, in an advisory (non-binding) vote, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement ("Proposal Four");
5.To ratify the appointment of WithumSmith+Brown PC as the Company’s independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2025 ("Proposal Five");
6.To approve, for purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the potential issuance of up to 10,500,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of a common stock purchase warrant (the "Inducement Warrant") issued by the Company pursuant to a warrant inducement agreement dated March 17, 2025 ("Proposal Six"); and
7.To transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

These items of business are more fully described in the Proxy Statement accompanying this Notice. This Notice is not a form for voting and presents only an overview of the more complete proxy materials, which contain important information. You should access and review all proxy materials before voting.

To enable easier access by our stockholders, the Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting conducted via webcast. You will be able to participate in the Meeting online, vote your shares electronically and submit questions during the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/EKSO2025. To participate in the Meeting, you must have your 16-digit control number that is shown on your proxy card or voting instruction form, as applicable.

If you access the Meeting but do not enter your control number, you will be able to listen to the proceedings, but you will not be able to vote or otherwise participate. You should log on to the meeting site at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the Meeting to provide time to register and download the required software, if needed.

The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on March 18, 2025 (the "Record Date") as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

For purposes of Proposal One, Proposal Two, Proposal Three, Proposal Four, Proposal Five and Proposal Six, the holders of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the Record Date will be asked to consider and vote on such proposals. In order to satisfy Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, we will not treat Proposal Six as having passed unless it is approved by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of common stock, excluding shares of our common stock acquired upon the exercise of our Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants that were held by the holder of the Inducement Warrant, outstanding as of the Record Date.

On or about April 10, 2025, we will mail to our stockholders of record as of the Record Date our proxy materials and annual report, both of which are also available at www.proxyvote.com.

Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please complete, date, sign and return the proxy card mailed to you, or vote over the telephone or the internet as instructed in these materials, as promptly as possible in order to ensure your representation at the meeting. Stockholders who attend the virtual Meeting should follow instructions at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/EKSO2025 to vote online during the Meeting. Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote at the virtual Meeting, you must follow the instructions from that record holder. Please refer to the section entitled "Important Information About the Meeting - How Do I Vote?" on page 3 of the Proxy Statement for a description of how to vote in advance of the Meeting.

By Order of the Board of Directors, /s/ Scott G. Davis
