On March 19, 2021, Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. posted to its website an investor presentation, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The Company also announced that Oravax anticipates commencing a clinical study in human subjects during the second quarter of 2021.

These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the management of the Company only, and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, including the risks and uncertainties related to the progress, timing, cost, and results of clinical trials and product development programs; difficulties or delays in obtaining regulatory approval or patent protection for the Company's product candidates; competition from other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies; and the Company's ability to obtain additional funding required to conduct its research, development and commercialization activities. In addition, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: changes in technology and market requirements; delays or obstacles in launching the Company's clinical trials; changes in legislation; inability to timely develop and introduce new technologies, products and applications; lack of validation of the Company's technology as it progresses further and lack of acceptance of the Company's methods by the scientific community; inability to retain or attract key employees whose knowledge is essential to the development of the Company's products; unforeseen scientific difficulties that may develop with the Company's process; greater cost of final product than anticipated; loss of market share and pressure on pricing resulting from competition; laboratory results that do not translate to equally good results in real settings; the Company's patents may not be sufficient; and finally that products may harm recipients, all of which could cause the actual results or performance of the Company to differ materially from those contemplated in such forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

7.5. Mutual Covenants. In addition to any covenants made by a Party elsewhere in this Agreement, each Party hereby covenants to the other as follows:

8.1. Ownership. As between the Parties, (i) Oramed is and shall at all times be the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed IP, and to any Inventions developed, made, conceived or created by Oravax or Sublicensees as a result of the exercise of the licenses hereunder that relate directly to the Licensed IP and all intellectual property rights therein (all of the foregoing, "New Developments"). New Developments shall be deemed within the scope of the Licensed IP; (ii) Oravax is and shall at all times be the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Oravax Technology and Oravax shall at all times be the sole and exclusive owner of the Oravax Technology. The Parties shall jointly own rights in any other Invention that (i) does not fall within the Licensed IP, New Developments, or Oravax Technology; and (ii) that is made jointly by one or more employees or agents of each Party and/or other persons acting under its authority ("Joint Inventions") and Patent Rights therein ("Joint Patent Rights"). For clarity, Inventions developed exclusively by one Party shall not be considered Joint Inventions, and Inventions that fall within the Licensed IP, New Developments, or Oravax Technology shall not be considered Joint Inventions, irrespective of which Party employs or pays the inventors. Subject to the limitations and limited rights and licenses granted under this Agreement, neither party may exploit, practice, use or encumber, any Joint Inventions and Joint Patent Rights without the other Party's prior written consent. Each Party shall be liable with respect to its own employees for compliance with any applicable legislation and its own policies concerning employee inventions, including payment of employee invention awards (if any).
(a) Licensed IP Patent Rights. Subject to Article 8.2(b) and the last sentence of this Article 8.2(a), Oramed shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Patent Rights which underly the Licensed IP and the New Developments ("Oramed Patent Rights") at Oramed's sole expense and by counsel of its choice. Oramed shall keep Oravax reasonably informed of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Patent Rights including copies of all patent office communications filed or received that fall within the licenses granted in this Agreement, and Oramed or its counsel shall directly provide to Oravax copies of all material proposed patent office submissions at least 30 days before any deadline so that Oravax will have an opportunity to review and comment. Oramed agrees, and will instruct its counsel, to implement such Oravax comment and other input unless there is a good faith reason not to do so. In the event that Oramed desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any such Patent Right in any country or jurisdiction (such country or jurisdiction, the "Abandoned Territory"), Oramed shall provide written notice to Oravax of such intention to abandon no later than 70 days prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to such Patent Right in the relevant patent office. In such case, upon receipt of a written request by Oravax to assume responsibility for prosecution and maintenance and exclusive ownership of such Patent Right, Oramed shall allow Oravax at its sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice, delivered no later than 30 days after receipt of notice from Oravax to assume such responsibility and exclusive ownership.


10.4. Insurance. Each Party shall procure and maintain adequate levels of insurance that are consistent with industry standards for similarly situated companies, including comprehensive or commercial general liability insurance (including contractual liability and product liability). Such insurance shall include commercially reasonable levels of insurance as may be customary in light of status of activities being conducted. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party's liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 10 or otherwise. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance upon request. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written notice at least 30 days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance which materially adversely affects the rights of the other Party hereunder.
12.5. Assignment. Except as expressly provided hereunder, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement and its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder without the other Party's consent in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the business of such Party to which this Agreement relates to a Third Party ("Third Party Acquirer"), whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise (each, a "Sale Transaction"). The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties, and the name of a Party appearing herein will be deemed to include the name of such Party's successors and permitted assigns to the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this Article. Any assignment not in accordance with this Agreement shall be void. In the event of an assignment and assumption of rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Third Party in connection with a Sale Transaction, the assigning Party shall be relieved of all obligations to the nonassigning Party assumed by the applicable Third Party.
12.6. Force Majeure. Each Party shall be excused from liability for the failure or delay in performance of any obligation under this Agreement by reason of any event beyond such Party's reasonable control, including but not limited to Acts of God, fire, flood, explosion, earthquake, or other natural forces, war, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, accident, destruction or other casualty, any lack or failure of transportation facilities, any lack or failure of supply of raw materials, any strike or labor disturbance, or any other event similar to those enumerated above. Such excuse from liability shall be effective only to the extent and duration of the event(s) causing the failure or delay in performance and provided that the Party has not caused such event(s) to occur. The affected Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure circumstances as soon as reasonably practical and shall promptly undertake all reasonable efforts necessary to cure such force majeure circumstances.

Each Stockholder proposing to make a Proposed Stockholder Transfer must deliver a Proposed Transfer Notice to the Company and each other Stockholder not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the consummation of such Proposed Stockholder Transfer. Such Proposed Transfer Notice shall contain the material terms and conditions (including price and form of consideration) of the Proposed Stockholder Transfer, the identity of the Prospective Transferee and the intended date of the Proposed Stockholder Transfer.

In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other agreement that may have been entered into by a Stockholder with the Company that contains a preexisting right of first refusal, the Company and the Stockholder acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall control and the preexisting right of first refusal shall be deemed satisfied by compliance with Subsection 4.1(a) and this Subsection 4.1(b). In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Company's Bylaws, as amended, containing a preexisting right of first refusal, the terms of the Bylaws, as amended, will control and compliance with the Bylaws, as amended, shall be deemed compliance with Subsection 4.1(a) and this Subsection 4.1(b).
(c) Grant of Secondary Refusal Right to the Stockholders. Subject to the terms of Section 4.4 below, each Stockholder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the other Stockholders a Secondary Refusal Right to purchase all or any portion of the Transfer Stock not purchased by the Company pursuant to the Right of First Refusal, as provided in this Subsection 4.1(c). If the Company does not provide the Company Notice exercising its Right of First Refusal with respect to all Transfer Stock subject to a Proposed Stockholder Transfer, the Company must deliver a Secondary Notice to the selling Stockholder and to each other Stockholder to that effect no later than fifteen (15) days after the selling Stockholder delivers the Proposed Transfer Notice to the Company. To exercise its Secondary Refusal Right, a Stockholder must deliver a Stockholder Notice to the selling Stockholder and the Company within ten (10) days after the Company's deadline for its delivery of the Secondary Notice as provided in the preceding sentence.
(d) Undersubscription of Transfer Stock. If options to purchase have been exercised by the Company and the other Stockholders pursuant to Subsections 4.1(b) and 4.1(c) with respect to some but not all of the Transfer Stock by the end of the ten (10) day period specified in the last sentence of Subsection 4.1(c) (the "Stockholder Notice Period"), then the Company shall, immediately after the expiration of the Stockholder Notice Period, send written notice (the "Company Undersubscription Notice") to those Stockholders who fully exercised their Secondary Refusal Right within the Stockholder Notice Period (the "Exercising Stockholders"). Each Exercising Stockholder shall, subject to the provisions of this Subsection 4.1(d), have an additional option to purchase all or any part of the balance of any such remaining unsubscribed shares of Transfer Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice. To exercise such option, an Exercising Stockholder must deliver an Undersubscription Notice to the selling Stockholder and the Company within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Stockholder Notice Period. In the event there are two (2) or more such Exercising Stockholders that choose to exercise the last-mentioned option for a total number of remaining shares in excess of the number available, the remaining shares available for purchase under this Subsection 4.1(d) shall be allocated to such Exercising Stockholders pro rata based on the proportion that the Shares held by an Exercising Stockholder bears to the Shares held by all Exercising Stockholders who wish to purchase the remaining unsubscribed shares of Transfer Stock, provided that no Exercising Stockholders shall be obligated to purchase more than the number of shares initially subscribed for. If the options to purchase the remaining shares are exercised in full by the Exercising Stockholders, the Company shall immediately notify all of the Exercising Stockholders and the selling Stockholder of that fact.
(e) Consideration; Closing. If the consideration proposed to be paid for the Transfer Stock is in property, services or other non-cash consideration, the fair market value of the consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board and as set forth in the Company Notice. If the Company or any Stockholder cannot for any reason pay for the Transfer Stock in the same form of non-cash consideration, the Company or such Stockholder may pay the cash value equivalent thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board and as set forth in the Company Notice. The closing of the purchase of Transfer Stock by the Company and the Stockholders shall take place, and all payments from the Company and the Stockholders shall have been delivered to the selling Stockholder, by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice as the intended date of the Proposed Stockholder Transfer; and (ii) forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.
(a) Exercise of Right. If any Transfer Stock subject to a Proposed Stockholder Transfer is not purchased pursuant to Subsection 4.1 above and thereafter is to be sold to a Prospective Transferee, each respective Stockholder may elect to exercise its Right of Co-Sale and participate on a pro rata basis in the Proposed Stockholder Transfer as set forth in Subsection 4.2(b) below and, subject to Subsection 4.2(d), otherwise on the same terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice. Each Stockholder who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale (each, a "Participating Stockholder") must give the selling Stockholder written notice to that effect within fifteen (15) days after the deadline for delivery of the Secondary Notice described above, and upon giving such notice such Participating Stockholder shall be deemed to have effectively exercised the Right of Co-Sale.
(b) Shares Includable. Each Participating Stockholder may include in the Proposed Stockholder Transfer all or any part of such Participating Stockholder's Capital Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Transfer Stock subject to the Proposed Stockholder Transfer (excluding shares purchased by the Company or the Participating Stockholders pursuant to the Right of First Refusal or the Secondary Refusal Right) by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Capital Stock owned by such Participating Stockholder immediately before consummation of the Proposed Stockholder Transfer (including any shares that such Participating Stockholder has agreed to purchase pursuant to the Secondary Refusal Right) and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Capital Stock owned, in the aggregate, by all Participating Stockholders immediately prior to the consummation of the Proposed Stockholder Transfer (including any shares that all Participating Stockholders have collectively agreed to purchase pursuant to the Secondary Refusal Right), plus the number of shares of Transfer Stock held by the selling Stockholder.
(c) Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Participating Stockholders and the selling Stockholder agree that the terms and conditions of any Proposed Stockholder Transfer in accordance with this Subsection 4.2 will be memorialized in, and governed by, a written purchase and sale agreement with the Prospective Transferee (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement") with customary terms and provisions for such a transaction, and the Participating Stockholders and the selling Stockholder further covenant and agree to enter into such Purchase and Sale Agreement as a condition precedent to any sale or other transfer in accordance with this Subsection 4.2.
(i) Subject to Subsection 4.2(d)(ii), the aggregate consideration payable to the Participating Stockholders and the selling Stockholder shall be allocated based on the number of shares of Capital Stock sold to the Prospective Transferee by each Participating Stockholder and the selling Stockholder as provided in Subsection 4.2(b), provided that if a Participating Stockholder wishes to sell preferred stock of the Company, if any, the price set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice shall be appropriately adjusted based on the conversion ratio of the preferred stock into Common Stock.
(ii) In the event that the Proposed Stockholder Transfer constitutes a Change of Control, the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall provide that the aggregate consideration from such transfer shall be allocated to the Participating Stockholders and the selling Stockholder on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of the Capital Stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis or as otherwise set forth in the Charter.
(e) Purchase by Selling Stockholder; Deliveries. Notwithstanding Subsection 4.2(c) above, if any Prospective Transferee or Transferees refuse(s) to purchase securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from any Participating Stockholder or Stockholders or upon the failure to negotiate in good faith a Purchase and Sale Agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Participating Stockholders, no Stockholder may sell any Transfer Stock to such Prospective Transferee or Transferees unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Stockholder purchases all securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from such Participating Stockholder or Stockholders on the same terms and conditions (including the proposed purchase price) as set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice and as provided in Subsection 4.2(d)(i); provided, however, if such sale constitutes a Change of Control, the portion of the aggregate consideration paid by the selling Stockholder to such Participating Stockholder or Stockholders shall be made in accordance with the first sentence of Subsection 4.2(d)(ii). In connection with such purchase by the selling Stockholder, such Participating Stockholder or Stockholders shall deliver to the selling Stockholder any stock certificate or certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, representing the Capital Stock being purchased by the selling Stockholder (or request that the Company effect such transfer in the name of the selling Stockholder). Any such shares transferred to the selling Stockholder will be transferred to the Prospective Transferee against payment therefor in consummation of the sale of the Transfer Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice, and the selling Stockholder shall concurrently therewith remit or direct payment to each such Participating Stockholder the portion of the aggregate consideration to which each such Participating Stockholder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale as provided in this Subsection 4.2(e).

(f) Additional Compliance. If any Proposed Stockholder Transfer is not consummated within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice by the Company, the Stockholders proposing the Proposed Stockholder Transfer may not sell any Transfer Stock unless they first comply in full with each provision of this Subsection 4.2. The exercise or election not to exercise any right by any Stockholder hereunder shall not adversely affect its right to participate in any other sales of Transfer Stock subject to this Subsection 4.2.
(g) Transfer Void; Equitable Relief. Any Proposed Stockholder Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm to the other parties hereto for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Transfer Stock not made in strict compliance with this Agreement).
(h) Violation of First Refusal Right. If any Stockholder becomes obligated to sell any Transfer Stock to the Company or any other Stockholder under this Agreement and fails to deliver such Transfer Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company and/or such other Stockholder may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, send to such selling Stockholder the purchase price for such Transfer Stock as is herein specified and transfer to the name of the Company or such other Stockholder (or request that the Company effect such transfer in the name of a Stockholder) on the Company's books any certificates, instruments, or book entry representing the Transfer Stock to be sold.
(i) Violation of Co-Sale Right. If any Stockholder purports to sell any Transfer Stock in contravention of the Right of Co-Sale (a "Prohibited Transfer"), each Participating Stockholder who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale under Subsection 4.2 may, in addition to such remedies as may be available by law, in equity or hereunder, require such Stockholder to purchase from such Participating Stockholder the type and number of shares of Capital Stock that such Participating Stockholder would have been entitled to sell to the Prospective Transferee had the Prohibited Transfer been effected in compliance with the terms of Subsection 4.2. The sale will be made on the same terms, including, without limitation, as provided in Subsection 4.2(d)(i) and the first sentence of Subsection 4.2(d)(ii), as applicable, and subject to the same conditions as would have applied had the Stockholder not made the Prohibited Transfer, except that the sale (including, without limitation, the delivery of the purchase price) must be made within ninety (90) days after the Participating Stockholder learns of the Prohibited Transfer, as opposed to the timeframe proscribed in Subsection 4.2. Such Stockholder shall also reimburse each Participating Stockholder for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Participating Stockholder's rights under Subsection 4.2.
(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Subsections 4.1 and 4.2 shall not apply (i) in the case of a Stockholder that is an entity, upon a transfer by such Stockholder to its stockholders, members, partners or other equity holders or to any Affiliates of such Stockholder, including, without limitation, any transfer relating to or in respect of the Spin Off (which Spin Off, for the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree is an exempt transfer not subject to any of the provisions of Section 4), (ii) to a repurchase of Transfer Stock from a Stockholder by the Company, or (iii) in the case of a Stockholder that is a natural person, upon a transfer of Transfer Stock by such Stockholder made for bona fide estate planning purposes, either during his or her lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to his or her spouse, child (natural or adopted), or any other direct lineal descendant of such Stockholder (or his or her spouse) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as "family members"), or any custodian or trustee of any trust, partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of, or the ownership interests of which are owned wholly by such Stockholder or any such family members; provided that in the case of clause(s) (i), (iii) or (iv), the Stockholder shall deliver prior written notice to the Company and the other Stockholders of such pledge, gift, sale, assignment or transfer and such shares of Transfer Stock shall at all times remain subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and such transferee shall, as a condition to such permitted transfer, deliver a counterpart signature page to this Agreement as confirmation that such transferee shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a Stockholder (but only with respect to the securities so transferred to the transferee), including the obligations of a Holder with respect to Proposed Stockholder Transfers of such Transfer Stock pursuant to Section 4; and provided further in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (i) or (iv) above, that such transfer is made pursuant to a transaction in which there is no consideration actually paid for such transfer.
(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Subsections 4.1 and 4.2 shall not apply to the sale of any Transfer Stock (i) to the public in an offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; or (ii) pursuant to a Deemed Liquidation Event.
(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Stockholder shall transfer any Capital Stock to (i) any entity which, in the determination of the Board, in good faith and upon advice of external counsel, directly or indirectly competes with the Company; or (ii) any customer, distributor or supplier of the Company, if the Board should determine that such transfer would result in such customer, distributor or supplier receiving information that would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage with respect to such customer, distributor or supplier.
(m) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Subsection 4.5(a) and applicable securities laws, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to each Stockholder that is an "accredited investor" (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act). A Stockholder shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted to it in such proportions as it deems appropriate among (i) itself, and (ii) its Affiliates.
(n) The Company shall give notice (the "Offer Notice") to each Stockholder, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.
(o) By notification to the Company within twenty (20) days after the Offer Notice is given, each Stockholder may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the Common Stock then held by such Stockholder (including all shares of Common Stock then issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of any Derivative Securities then held by such Stockholder) bears to the total Common Stock of the Company then issued and outstanding (assuming full conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of any Derivative Securities then outstanding). At the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the Company shall promptly notify each Stockholder that elects to purchase or acquire all the shares available to it (each, a "Fully Exercising Investor") of any other Stockholder's failure to do likewise. During the ten (10) day period commencing after the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising Investor may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to the number of shares specified above, up to that portion of the New Securities for which Stockholders were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Stockholders which is equal to the proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of any Derivative Securities then held, by such Fully Exercising Investor bears to the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of any Derivative Securities then held, by all Fully Exercising Investors who wish to purchase such unsubscribed shares. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Subsection 4.5(b) shall occur within the later of ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to Subsection 4.5(d).
(p) If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Subsection 4.5(c), the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Subsection 4.5(c), offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice.
