(the "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on July 24, 2012, at 4:00 p.m. (Israel time) (the "Annual Meeting"), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING

Why am I receiving these materials?

We sent you this proxy statement, as well as the enclosed proxy card, because our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. The Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at 4:00 p.m. (Israel time) at Hi-Tech Park 2/5 Givat Ram, Jerusalem, Israel. However, you do not need to attend the meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on June 26, 2012, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If on June 26, 2012, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

If on June 26, 2012, your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account or its agent is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

What am I voting on?

The matters scheduled for a vote at the Annual Meeting are:

the re-election of five directors of the Company to hold office until our next annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors shall be elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal;

the ratification of the appointment of Kesselman & Kesselman, certified public accountants in Israel, a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the 2012 fiscal year; and

the authorization of the Board of Directors effecting a reverse stock split of the Company's shares of common stock at a ratio not to exceed one-for-eighteen and to approve related amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR all of the above proposals.

How do I vote?

The procedures for voting are as follows:

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting, or vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the meeting and vote in person if you have already voted by proxy.

To vote in person, come to the Annual Meeting, where a ballot will be made available to you. Directions to attend the Annual Meeting where you may vote in person can be found at: http://www.oramed.com/ufiles/map_directions.pdf .

To vote using the proxy card, simply complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us no less than 24 hours before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct. The chairman of the Annual Meeting may, at his discretion, decide to accept proxy cards even if received less than 24 hours before the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from us. Simply complete and mail the proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone or over the Internet as instructed by your broker, bank, or other agent, provided that your broker, bank, or other agent makes telephone or Internet voting available. To vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank, or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker, bank, or other agent included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker, bank, or other agent to request a proxy form.

- 2 -

How many votes do I have?

You have one vote for each share of common stock you own as of the close of business on June 26, 2012.

What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

If you return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted "For" matters on the agenda of the Annual Meeting. If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, sign and return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date;

You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our Secretary at Hi-Tech Park 2/5 Givat Ram, PO Box 39098, Jerusalem, 91390, Israel; or

You may attend the meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If your shares are held by your broker, bank, or other agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank, or other agent.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately count "For," "Against" and "Abstain."

If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in "street name"), you will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares with respect to "discretionary" items, but not with respect to "non-discretionary" items. Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange on which your broker may vote shares held in street name in the absence of your voting instructions. On non-discretionary items for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as "broker non-votes." There are no discretionary items scheduled for a vote at the Annual Meeting, except for Proposal 2.

- 3 -

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

The approval of Proposals 1, 2 and 3 require the vote of a majority of the number of shares of common stock present, in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereat. Other than for the purpose of establishing a quorum, as discussed in the following paragraph, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as voted and will therefore not affect the outcome of the election of directors.

What is the quorum requirement?

The holders of at least one third (1/3) of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting for the transaction of business. As of June 5, 2012, there were 70,403,583 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank, or other agent) or if you vote in person at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, have the power to adjourn the Annual Meeting, without notice other than announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which the requisite amount of voting stock shall be represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be reported in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CIRCULAR 230, STOCKHOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF FEDERAL TAX ISSUES CONTAINED OR REFERRED TO IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, BY ANY STOCKHOLDER FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON THE STOCKHOLDER UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS WRITTEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF

CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares that power with that person’s spouse) with respect to all shares of common stock listed as owned by that person or entity.

Board of Directors

There are no agreements with respect to the election of directors. Each director is elected for a period of one year at our annual meeting of stockholders and serves until the next such meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. The Board may also appoint additional directors up to a maximum of fifteen directors. A director so chosen or appointed will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. The Board has determined that Leonard Sank, Harold Jacob and Michael Berelowitz are independent as defined under the rules promulgated by the NASDAQ Stock Market. With respect to Dr. Berelowitz, the Board has determined that his consulting agreement with us does not impair his ability to serve as an independent director. For further information regarding Dr. Berelowitz's consulting agreement, see "Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors – Director Compensation" below.

We have determined that each of the directors is qualified to serve as a director of the Company based on a review of the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of each director. In reaching this determination, we have considered a variety of criteria, including, among other things: character and integrity; ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided, to exercise effective business judgment and to interact effectively with the other directors; and willingness and ability to commit the time necessary to perform the duties of a director. Each director’s ability to perform his or her duties effectively is evidenced by such director’s experience or achievements in the following areas: management or board experience in the healthcare, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology industries or companies in other fields; educational background and professional training; and experience as a director of the Company.

There have been no events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no judgments, injunctions, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any director, executive officer, or control person of the Company during the past ten years.

Board Meeting Attendance

During the year ended August 31, 2011, our Board held five meetings and took actions by written consent on 13 occasions. No incumbent director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of: (i) the total number of meetings of the Board (during the period for which such director served as a director); and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which such director served (during the period for which such director served on such committees). Board members are encouraged to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. In the annual meeting of stockholders held on February 24, 2011, three Board members were present.

Committees

As of August 31, 2011, the Board has not established any committees. The Board intends to establish an audit and compensation committee during the year ending August 31, 2012. The Board has not established a nominating, compensation or audit committee because it believes that the Board, of which three of its five members are independent directors, with broad business experience, has the sufficient knowledge to fulfill the functions typically delegated to such committees.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5, and amendments thereto, furnished to us during fiscal year 2011, we believe that during fiscal year 2011, our executive officers, directors and all persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics for our officers, directors and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics is available on our website at www.oramed.com . If we make any substantive amendments to the Code of Ethics or grant any waiver from a provision of this code to our chief executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Mr. Nadav Kidron serves as our President, Chief Executive Officer and on our Board of Directors. None of our independent directors serves as the lead independent director. We believe that this leadership structure is appropriate to our Company given the current size and operations of the Company. Our Board of Directors' role in risk oversight includes risk analysis and assessment in connection with each financial and business review, update and decision-making proposal and is an integral part of all Board deliberations. The Board's role in our risk oversight is consistent with our leadership structure, with our President and Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing our risk exposure, and the Board of Directors providing oversight in connection with those efforts.

Stockholder Communications

Although we have not adopted a formal process for stockholder communications with our Board of Directors, we believe stockholders should have the ability to communicate directly with the Board so that their views can be heard by the Board or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate and timely responses are provided to stockholders. All communications regarding general matters should be directed to the Secretary of the Company at the address below and should prominently indicate on the outside of the envelope that it is intended for the complete Board of Directors or for any particular director(s). If no designation is made, the communication will be forwarded to the entire Board. Stockholder communications to the Board should be sent to:

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Except as otherwise indicated below, during fiscal year 2011 we did not participate in any transaction, and we are not currently participating in any proposed transaction, or series of transactions, in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers, five percent beneficial security holders, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest.

- 10 -

Our policy is to enter into transactions with related persons on terms that, on the whole, are no less favorable than those available from unaffiliated third parties. Based on our experience in the business sectors in which we operate and the terms of our transactions with unaffiliated third parties, we believe that all of the transactions described below met this policy standard at the time they occurred. All related person transactions are approved by our Board.

On March 8, 2006 and July 8, 2009, we entered into two agreements with Hadasit Medical Research Services & Development Ltd. (“Hadasit”), a holder of 5% of our common stock, to provide consulting and clinical trial services for total consideration of $400,000. The clinical trials conducted by Hadasit are managed by Dr. Miriam Kidron, our Chief Medical and Technology Officer and Director, through a research fund account at Hadasit in Dr. Kidron's name. The fees paid by us to Hadasit are deposited into such Hadasit research account. Pursuant to the general policy of Hadasit with respect to its research funds, Dr. Kidron is entitled to receive a management fee in the amount of 10% of all the funds deposited into this research fund account, including the funds paid by us under the aforementioned agreements. Since March 2006, only the funds paid by us have been deposited in this account, of which, $10,214 has been paid to Dr. Kidron.

On June 1, 2010, our subsidiary, Oramed Ltd. (the "Subsidiary"), entered into a joint venture agreement with D.N.A for the establishment of Entera, according to which D.N.A invested $600,000, the Subsidiary entered into a patent license agreement with Entera, and Entera was owned in equal parts by the Subsidiary and D.N.A. On February 22, 2011, the Subsidiary entered into a share purchase agreement with D.N.A for the sale of 47% of Entera's outstanding share capital on an undiluted basis, for total consideration of approximately $1,032,000 to be paid in D.N.A shares and in a promissory note. As part of the transaction, the Subsidiary entered into a patent transfer agreement with Entera that replaced the original patent license agreement. These two transactions closed on March 31, 2011. In addition, on the closing date, D.N.A participated in our private placement, on the same investment terms as other investors at that time, for which D.N.A received 781,250 shares of our common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 273,438 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for consideration of $250,000. We currently own 3% of the outstanding shares of Entera. Mr. Zeev Bronfeld, who is one of D.N.A's directors and controlling shareholders, holds approximately 9% of our outstanding common stock (see "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management"). Mr. Nadav Kidron, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, is also a director of Entera.

Employment and Consulting Agreements

Effective August 1, 2007, we entered into employment agreements with KNRY Ltd. ("KRNY"), pursuant to which Nadav Kidron and Dr. Miriam Kidron provided employment services to our Company.

PROPOSAL 2:

RATIFICATION OF AUDITORS

At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders will be asked to ratify the reappointment of Kesselman & Kesselman, certified public accountants in Israel, a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2012 fiscal year. Kesselman & Kesselman serves as the auditor of our controlled subsidiaries, as well. Kesselman & Kesselman have no other relationship with us or with any of our affiliates, except as auditors and tax consultants. A representative of Kesselman & Kesselman will not be present at the Annual Meeting.

The aggregate fess billed by Kesselman & Kesselman for services rendered to us during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010:

Summary:	2011		2010
Audit fees (1)	$	100,390	$	65,880
Tax fees (2)		-		-

____________

(1)

Amount represents fees paid for professional services for the audit of our consolidated annual financial statements and review of our interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports and services that are normally provided by our independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

(2)

Amount represents fees paid for professional services for tax compliance and tax advice.

We do not have an Audit Committee. As such, our three independent directors act as our audit committee. No formal pre-approval process has been adopted. The Board intends to establish an audit and compensation committee during the year ending August 31, 2012. The Board has not established an audit committee because it believes that the Board, of which three of its five members are independent directors, is qualified to fulfill the functions typically delegated to an audit committee.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of common stock present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter is required for the approval thereof.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote " FOR " re-appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm.

PROPOSAL 3:

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Our shares of common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. We hope to list our common stock for trading on a national stock exchange. In order for our shares of common stock to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the NYSE MKT or on another recognized stock exchange, we must satisfy various listing standards. For instance, Nasdaq's listing criteria under the "equity standard" requires, among other things, to have shareholders' equity of at least $5 million and there must be at least one million shares of common stock held by persons other than officers, directors and beneficial owners of greater than 10% of our total outstanding shares, often referred to as the public float, that have an aggregate market value of at least $15 million. Additionally, there must be at least three market makers for our shares of common stock and at least 300 persons must each own at least 100 shares of common stock. We would also be subject to various corporate governance requirements under stock exchange rules for listed companies.

- 16 -

We would also be required to maintain a market price for our shares of common stock in compliance with the stock exchange rules. Subject to certain other listing requirements, Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement is either $2.00, $3.00 or $4.00 per share.

If we do not meet the initial listing requirements, our shares of common stock will continue to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the "pink sheets" maintained by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. These alternatives are generally considered to be less efficient and less broad-based than the Nasdaq Capital Market or NYSE MKT.

Purpose of the Reverse Share Split

The purpose of the reverse share split is to increase the market price per share of our common stock. The Board intends to effect a reverse share split only if it believes that a decrease in the number of shares outstanding is likely to improve the trading price of our common stock and is necessary to facilitate our listing on a recognized national stock exchange. If the reverse stock split is authorized by our stockholders, the Board will have the discretion to implement the reverse stock split once during the next 24 months, or effects no reverse share split at all.

The Board has requested that stockholders approve an exchange ratio range, as opposed to approval of a specified exchange ratio, in order to give the Board maximum discretion and flexibility to determine the exchange ratio based, among other factors, upon prevailing market, business and economic conditions at the time. No further action on the part of the stockholders will be required to either effect or abandon the reverse share split.

If stockholders approve the reverse share split but no reverse share split is effected within the next 24 months, the Board's authority to effect the reverse share split will terminate.

Board of Directors Determination

The Board has unanimously recommended that our stockholders authorize an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation effecting a reverse share split of our common stock at a ratio, to be established by the Board in its sole discretion, not to exceed one-for-eighteen, or to abandon the reverse share split. The amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation would effect the reverse share split by (i) reducing the number of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, as well as the number of our authorized but unissued shares, by the ratio to be determined by the Board, not to exceed one-for-eighteen, and (ii) effecting a proportionate increase in the par value based on the ratio to be determined by the Board.

The Board has determined that the listing of our shares of common stock on a recognized stock exchange, such as Nasdaq or NYSE MKT, is in the best interests of our stockholders. If our shares of common stock were not listed on a stock exchange because of failure to satisfy the minimum bid price per share, trading in our shares of common stock would continue on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Board believes that the liquidity in the trading market for our shares of common stock would be increased by listing on a national stock exchange, which could increase the trading price and decrease the transaction costs of trading our shares of common stock.

The Board also believes that a higher share price may help generate investor interest in the Company. Some brokerage firms may be reluctant to recommend lower priced securities to their clients. Investors may also be dissuaded from purchasing lower priced stocks because brokerage commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction cost, tend to be higher for these stocks. The Board further believes that a higher share price would help us attract and retain employees and other strategic partners since some potential employees and strategic partners may be less likely to work for or with a company with a low share price.

- 17 -

Risks of a Reverse Share Split

While the Board believes that the potential advantages of a reverse share split outweigh the risks, if the Board does effect a reverse share split there can be no assurance that:

our shares of common stock will trade at a price in proportion to the reduction in the number of outstanding shares resulting from the reverse shares split;

the reverse share split will result in a per share price high enough to attract and retain employees and strategic partners;

the bid price of our shares of common stock after a reverse share split can be maintained at or above the minimum bid price requirement;

our shares of common stock will not be rejected from listing on a national stock exchange for other reasons;

the liquidity of our shares of common stock will not be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse share split;

engaging in a reverse share split will not be perceived in a negative manner by investors, analysts or other stock market participants; or

the reverse share split will not result in some stockholders owning "odd-lots" of less than 100 shares of common stock, potentially resulting in higher brokerage commissions and other transaction costs than the commissions and costs of transactions in "round-lots" of even multiples of 100 shares.

Effects of the Reverse Share Split on our Shares of Common Stock

A reverse share split will reduce the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding and the number of shares authorized but unissued, into a proportionately fewer number of shares of common stock. It will also result in an adjustment of the par value of our shares of common stock. For example, if the Board implements a one-for-five reverse share split of our shares of common stock, then a stockholder holding 500 shares of common stock $0.001 par value, before the reverse share split would hold 100 shares of common stock, $0.005 par value, after the reverse share split, and the number of our authorized shares of common stock will decrease from 200,000,000 to 40,000,000 shares of common stock and the number of shares of common stock outstanding would decrease from 70,403,583 to 14,080,717. However, each stockholder's proportionate ownership of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately following the effectiveness of the reverse share split would remain the same.

The reverse share split will also affect the outstanding options under our equity incentive plans and outstanding warrants. Generally, such securities include provisions providing for adjustments to the number of shares of common stock in the event of a reverse share split in order to maintain the same economic effect. For example, if the Board implements a one-for-five reverse share split, each of the outstanding options to purchase our shares of common stock would represent the right to purchase that number of shares of common stock equal to 20% of the shares of common stock previously covered by the options and the exercise price per share would be five times the previous exercise price. The same applies to our outstanding warrants to purchase common stock.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion summarizing certain federal income tax consequences is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and other legal authorities pertaining to it, and is for general information only. It does not discuss consequences that may apply to special classes of taxpayers (e.g., non-resident aliens or broker-dealers). It also does not discuss state and local tax issues. Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular consequences to them .

In general, to the extent a shareholder receives shares of equivalent value to the shareholder’s shares immediately prior to a reverse share split, a reverse share split would not result in the recognition of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To that extent, the adjusted tax basis of the aggregate number of new shares of common stock would be the same as the adjusted basis of the aggregate number of shares of common stock held by a stockholder immediately prior to the reverse share split and the holding period of the shares of common stock after the reverse share split would include the holding period of the shares of common stock held prior to the reverse share split. The receipt of an additional increment of value as a result of rounding up the number of shares to be received in a reverse share split might result in additional income or gain to the shareholder receiving it, and if it does, then that fractional share’s basis and holding period might differ from that of the other shares. No gain or loss will be recognized by the Company as a result of the reverse share split.

The following discussion summarizing certain Israeli income tax consequences for Israeli stockholders is based on the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961, as amended (the "Tax Ordinance"), and is for general information only. Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular consequences to them .

Generally, a reverse share split will not result in the recognition of gain or loss for Israeli income tax purposes, except with respect to any shares issued, or payment made, as a result of rounding up of fractional shares, if any, as may be determined by our Board of Directors. The adjusted tax basis of the aggregate number of new shares of common stock will be the same as the adjusted tax basis of the aggregate number of shares of common stock held by a stockholder immediately prior to the reverse share split and the holding period of the shares of common stock after the reverse share split will include the holding period of the shares of common stock held prior to the reverse share split. No gain or loss will be recognized by the Company as a result of the reverse share split.

Fractional Shares

In order to avoid the expense and inconvenience of issuing fractional shares in connection with the reverse share split, we will not issue fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the reverse stock split ratio will be automatically entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of common stock to round up to the next whole share. The number of shares which will result in fractional interests cannot be precisely predicted, as we cannot determine in advance the number of stockholders whose total holdings will not be evenly divisible by the applicable ratio at which the reverse stock split may be implemented.

Exchange of Share Certificates

Shortly after the reverse share split becomes effective, stockholders will be notified and offered the opportunity at their own expense to surrender their current certificates to our stock transfer agent in exchange for the issuance of new certificates reflecting the reverse share split. Commencing on the effective date of the reverse share split, each certificate representing pre-reverse share split shares of common stock will be deemed for all purposes to evidence ownership of post-reverse share split shares of common stock, as the case may be.

Appraisal Rights

No appraisal rights are available under Delaware Law to any stockholder who dissents from the proposals to approve the reverse share split.

Additional Information

If and when the Board resolves to effect the reverse share split, we will announce it publicly, including the ratio and additional details regarding the reverse share split, such as exchange of share certificates, etc.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of common stock present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter is required for approval of the reverse share split under Delaware law.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote " FOR " approval of the reverse share split.
