Further to our Notice of Special General Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company to be held on Monday April 29, 2019, at 4:30 p.m. local Israeli time, at the offices of Kitov Pharma Ltd. (hereinafter, the “Registrant” or the “Company”) at One Azrieli Center, Round Tower, 19 ^th Floor, 132 Menachem Begin Road, Tel Aviv, Israel, and the Proxy Statement for the Meeting, which we previously published on our corporate website at http://kitovpharma.investorroom.com/Shareholder-Meetings , and which we also furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K on March 22, 2019, as well as submitted to the Israeli Securities Authority and Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and made available on their respective websites for listed company reports: www.magna.isa.gov.il and www.maya.tase.co.il , we are furnishing this supplement to the Proxy Statement as described pursuant to Explanatory Note No. 1 below.

Our Board of Directors continues to recommend that the shareholders approve the transactions for the acquisition of FameWave and the ADS, warrant and option issuances by the Company to be made in connection with the transactions for the acquisition of FameWave and the concurrent investment in the Company by certain investors and shareholders of FameWave in a private placement, as set forth under Proposal 1 in the Proxy Statement.

EXPLANATORY NOTE NO. 1

As previously disclosed, on March 14, 2019, we announced that we had entered into the Acquisition Agreement to acquire FameWave, a privately held Israeli biopharmaceutical company. FameWave’s main asset is CM-24, a clinical stage humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CEACAM1, a novel immune checkpoint protein belonging to the Human CEA (Carcino-Embryonic Antigen) protein family. As described in the Proxy Statement and in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 26, 2019, we are acquiring 100% of FameWave from its shareholders, subject to approval of our shareholders at the Meeting, and the completion of other closing conditions. As described on pages 22-23 of the Proxy Statement, one of the conditions to closing of the transactions is the execution by FameWave by no later than March 31, 2019 of a joint clinical collaboration agreement, which is now in an advanced stage of negotiation with a major pharmaceutical company, for a planned Phase I/II study of CM-24 in combination with a PD-1 antibody in early 2020, with preliminary data expected in late 2020.

We are announcing that on April 7, 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Stock Purchase Agreement, which we refer to as the “Amendment”, pursuant to which the parties to the agreement agreed to extend the date by which FameWave shall complete the joint collaboration agreement, until April 15, 2019. This disclosure supplements the disclosure contained in the Proxy Statement, and should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, which is available on the Internet site maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission at http://www.sec.gov, along with periodic reports and other information the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. To the extent that the information set forth herein differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information set forth herein shall supersede or supplement the information in the Proxy Statement. Terms used below, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.

Other than as expressly modified pursuant to the Amendment, the original Stock Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Annex A to the Proxy Statement, remains in full force and effect as originally executed on March 14, 2019. The foregoing description of the Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K, which is also hereby deemed to be supplemented as Annex A1 to the Proxy Statement.

Other than as expressly set forth above, this Form 6-K does not, and does not purport to, amend, update or restate the information in any other item of the Proxy Statement, or reflect any events that have occurred after the Form 6-K with the Proxy Statement was originally filed.

Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this Form 6-K, nor does it form part of the proxy solicitation materials in connection with the Meeting. We have included our website address in this Form 6-K solely as an inactive textual reference. We will post on our website any materials in connection with the Meeting required to be posted on such website under applicable corporate or securities laws and regulations.
