By Order of the Board of Directors
/s/ Shlomo Shalev
Shlomo Shalev Chief Executive Officer Dated: _____________

This Proxy Statement is furnished to our holders of ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.1 per share and holders of our ordinary shares that are represented by American Depository Shares, or ADSs, in connection with Annual general meeting of shareholders (the "Annual Meeting"), to be held on January 19, 2022, at 15:00 PM Israel time at the offices of the Company's attorneys, Doron Tikotzky Kantor Gutman Nass & Amit Gross, at 7 Metsada St., B.S.R Tower 4, Bnei Brak, Israel.
Throughout this Proxy Statement, we use terms such as "XTL Biopharmaceuticals," "XTL," "we", "us", "our" and the "Company" to refer XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. and terms such as "you" and "your" to refer to our shareholders and ADS holders.
The agenda of the Annual Meeting will be as follows:
To discuss the auditor's report of our independent registered public accounting firm and audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
To appoint Somekh Chaikin, Certified Public Accountants in Israel and a member firm of KPMG as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, instead of Kesselman & Kesselman, Certified Public Accountants, a member firm of PrincewaterhouseCoopers International Limited., and to authorize the Boad of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee to determine the auditors' remuneration to be fixed in accordance with the volume and nature of their services to the Company for such fiscal year.
To re-elect Mr. Alexander Rabinovitch to our Board of Directors for a term expiring at our next annual general meeting of shareholders.
To re-elect Dr. Jonathan Schapiro to our Board of Directors for a term expiring at our next annual general meeting of shareholders.
To re-elect Mr. Shlomo Shalev to our Board of Directors for a term expiring at our next annual general meeting of shareholders.
To re-elect Mr. Doron Turgeman to our Board of Directors for a term expiring at our next annual general meeting of shareholders.
To re-elect Dr. Dobroslav Melamed to our Board of Directors for a term expiring at our next annual general meeting of shareholders.
We currently are unaware of any other matters that may be raised at the Annual Meeting. Should any other matters be properly raised at the Annual Meeting, the persons designated as proxies shall vote according to their own judgment on those matters.
2
Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" each of proposals 2 to 7.
Only shareholders and ADS holders at the close of business on December 19, 2021 shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.
You can vote your ordinary shares by attending the Annual Meeting. If you do not plan to attend the Annual Meeting, the method of voting will differ for shares held as a record holder, shares held in "street name" (through a Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or TASE, member) and shares underlying ADSs that you hold. Record holders of shares will receive proxy cards. Holders of shares in "street name" through a TASE member will also vote via a proxy card, but through a different procedure (as described below). Holders of ADSs (whether registered in their name or in "street name") will receive voting instruction cards in order to instruct their banks, brokers or other nominees on how to vote.
If you are a shareholder of record, you can submit your vote by completing, signing and submitting a proxy card, which has been published at www.magna.isa.gov.il, to the Company's office at 5 Badner Street, Ramat Gan 5218102, Israel.
If you hold ordinary shares in "street name," that is, through a bank, broker or other nominee that is admitted as a member of the TASE, your shares will only be voted if you provide instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee as to how to vote, or if you attend the Annual Meeting in person.
If voting by mail, you must sign and date a proxy card in the form filed by us on MAGNA on December 16, 2021 and attach to it a certificate signed by the TASE Clearing House member through which the shares are held, which complies with the Israel Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership for Voting in General Meetings)-2000 as proof of ownership of the shares on the record date, and return the proxy card, along with the proof of ownership certificate, to the offices of our attorneys, Doron Tikotzky Kantor Gutman Nass & Amit Gross. (Attention: Ronen Kantor, Adv.) located at 7 Metsada st., B.S.R Tower 4, Bnei Brak, Israel, as described in the instructions available on MAGNA.
If you choose to attend the Annual Meeting (where ballots will be provided), you must bring the proof of ownership certificate from the TASE's Clearing House member through which the shares are held, indicating that you were the beneficial owner of the shares on the record date.
Under the terms of the Deposit Agreement between the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, or BNY Mellon, and the holders of our ADSs, BNY Mellon shall endeavor (insofar as is practicable) to vote or cause to be voted the number of shares represented by ADSs in accordance with the instructions provided by the holders of ADSs to BNY Mellon. For ADSs that are held in "street name", through a bank, broker or other nominee, the voting process will be based on the underlying beneficial holder of the ADSs directing the bank, broker or other nominee to arrange for BNY Mellon to vote the ordinary shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with the beneficial holder's voting instructions. If no instructions are received by BNY Mellon from any holder of ADSs (whether held directly by a beneficial holder or in "street name") with respect to any of the shares represented by the ADSs on or before the date established by BNY Mellon for such purpose, BNY Mellon shall not vote or attempt to vote the shares represented by such ADSs.

You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this document and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, shareholders who hold ADSs in more than one brokerage account will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which ADSs are held. Shareholders of record whose shares are registered in more than one name will receive more than one proxy card. You should complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card you receive.
Our Board of Directors urges you to vote your shares so that they will be counted at the Annual Meeting or at any postponements or adjournments of the Annual Meeting.
By appointing "proxies", shareholders and ADS holders may vote at the Annual Meeting whether or not they attend. If a properly executed proxy in the attached form is received by us at least 48 hours prior to the Annual Meeting (and received by BNY Mellon no later than the date indicated on the voting instruction card, in the case of ADS holders), all of the shares represented by the proxy shall be voted as indicated on the form or, if no preference is noted, shall be voted in favor of the matter described above, and in such manner as the holder of the proxy may determine with respect to any other business as may come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Shareholders and ADS holders may revoke their proxies at any time before the deadline for receipt of proxies by filing with us (in the case of holders of ordinary shares) or with BNY Mellon (in the case of holders of ADSs), a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date.
Proxies are being distributed to shareholders and to ADS holders on or about December 16, 2022. Certain officers, directors, employees, and agents of ours, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone, emails, or other personal contact. We will bear the cost for the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing, and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of shares and ADSs.
To the extent you would like to submit a position statement with respect to any of the Proposals described in this proxy statement pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law"), you may do so by delivery of appropriate notice to the offices of our attorneys, Doron Tikotzky Kantor Gutman Nass & Amit Gross. (Attention: Ronen Kantor, Adv.) located at 7 Metsada St., B.S.R Tower 4, Bnei Brak, Israel, not later than ten days before the convening of the Annual Meeting. Response of the Board of Directors to the position statement may be submitted not later than five days after the deadline for sending the position statement.
At the close of business of December 16, 2021, we had outstanding 541,406,149 ordinary shares, of which 3,073,851 were represented by ADSs. Each ordinary share (including ordinary shares represented by ADSs) outstanding as of the close of business on the record date is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.
The quorum required to hold the Annual Meeting consists of at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold or represent between them at least onethird of the voting rights in the Company. If the Meeting is adjourned for lack of a quorum it will be held on the same day in the following week at the same time and place (with no need for any notice to the shareholders) or until such other later time if we serve notice to the shareholders no less than seven days before the date fixed for the such adjourned Meeting (the "Deferred Meeting"). If at a Deferred Meeting there is no quorum present half an hour after the time set for the Meeting, any number participating in the Deferred Meeting shall represent a quorum and shall be entitled to discuss the matters set down on the agenda for the original Annual Meeting.
4
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting on such Proposals in person or by proxy at the Meeting is necessary for the approval of each of Proposal 2 through 7.
If you provide specific instructions (mark boxes) with regard to certain Proposals, your shares will be voted as you instruct. If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form without giving specific instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors. The proxy holders will vote in their discretion on any other matters that properly come before the Annual Meeting.
If you are a shareholder of record and do not return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted. If you hold shares (or ADSs representing shares) beneficially in street name, your shares will also not be voted at the Annual Meeting if you do not return your proxy card or voting instruction card to instruct your broker or BNY Mellon how to vote. For all proposals, a broker (and BNY Mellon) may only vote in accordance with instructions from a beneficial owner of shares or ADSs. This will be true even for a routine matter, such as proposal 2 (the approval of the re-appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm and authorization of our Board of Directors to fix such accounting firm's annual compensation), as your broker and BNY Mellon will not be permitted to vote your shares in their discretion on any proposal at the Annual Meeting. For all proposals, a broker (and BNY Mellon) may only vote in accordance with instructions from a beneficial owner of shares or ADSs.
Copies of the proxy card and voting instruction card, the Notice of the Annual Meeting and this Proxy Statement are available at the "Investor Information" portion of our website, http://www.xtlbio.com/. The contents of that website are not a part of this Proxy Statement.
We are subject to the information reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, applicable to foreign private issuers. We fulfill these requirements by filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Our filings with the Commission may be inspected without charge at the Commission's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Securities Exchange Act, or Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. The circulation of this notice and proxy statement should not be taken as an admission that we are subject to the proxy rules under the Exchange Act.

It is proposed to appoint Somekh Chaikin, Certified Public Accountants in Israel and a member firm of KPMG as the Company's independent auditors (the "Proposed Auditors") for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, and to end the engagement with Kesselman & Kesselman, Certified Public Accountants in Israel, a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited (the "Former Auditors") until our next annual general Meeting of shareholders and to authorize our Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee to determine KPMG's remuneration to be fixed in accordance with the volume and nature of their services to the Company for such fiscal year.

It is proposed that at the Annual Meeting the following resolution shall be adopted:
