This Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D initially filed on February 27, 2012 as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed March 7, 2012, Amendment No. 2 filed April 2, 2012, Amendment No. 3 filed October 16, 2012, Amendment No. 4 filed March 8, 2013 and Amendment No. 5 filed March 10, 2014, is filed by Pan Atlantic Bank and Trust Limited (“ Pan Atlantic ”), FCMI Financial Corporation (“ FCMI ”), and Albert D. Friedberg (collectively with Pan Atlantic and FCMI, the “ Filing Persons ”), and relates to the Ordinary Shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share (the “ Ordinary Shares ”) of BioLineRx Ltd., an Israeli corporation (the “ Issuer ”) and to American Depositary Shares (“ ADS ”) representing the Ordinary Shares. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 1. Security and Issuer

Item 1of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following information:

On June 1, 2105, the Issuer announced that at an Extraordinary General Meeting (“ EGM ”) of shareholders held May 31, 2015, the Issuer’s shareholders had approved a one-for-ten reverse split of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares (the “ Reverse Split ”), and that the Reverse Split would be effective June 5, 2015. On June 8, 2015, The Bank of New York Mellon, as Depositary for the Issuer’s ADSs, filed an amended form of American Depositary Receipt to evidence the Issuer’s ADSs, reflecting a change in the number of Ordinary Shares evidenced by each ADS from 10 Ordinary Shares per ADS to one Ordinary Share per ADS (the “ Ratio Change ”). The Filing Person are filing this Amendment No. 6 to their Schedule 13D to reflect the change in their beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares resulting from the Reverse Split and the Ratio Change, and to update the Schedule 13D regarding their percentage beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares.

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following information:

On the date of this Schedule 13D, giving effect to the Reverse Split and the Ratio Change, the Filing Persons are the beneficial owners of 3,480,396 Ordinary Shares, constituting approximately 6.4% of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares. Such percentage beneficial ownership has been calculated as if 54,190,051 Ordinary Shares were outstanding, consisting of (i) 53,490,051 Ordinary Shares outstanding on June 5, 2015 (the effective date of the Reverse Split of 534,900,507 shares outstanding on April 28, 2015, as reported by the Issuer in its Proxy Statement for the EGM dated April 28, 2015 filed as Exhibit 1 to its Form 6-K filed that date, plus (ii) 700,000 Ordinary Shares (7,000,000 Ordinary Shares prior to the Reverse Split) underlying warrants held by Pan Atlantic to purchase 700,000 ADSs, which are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of this calculation pursuant to Commission Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Act.

Of such 3,480,396 Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Filing Persons:

· 783,396 Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding and owned directly by Pan Atlantic (including 31,177 Ordinary Shares held for the benefit of the other member of the joint venture described in Item 4 of the Filing Persons’ Schedule 13D filed February 27, 2012);

· 1,997,000 Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding and evidenced by 1,997,000 ADSs held by Pan Atlantic; and

· 700,000 Ordinary Shares are issuable upon issuance of 700,000 ADSs issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by Pan Atlantic.
