On December 5, 2019, Oramed Pharmaceuticals
Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of its Board of Directors (the "Board") by one and appointed Dr.

Dr. Mayer was not appointed to serve on any

Dr. Mayer, age 63, is currently the Managing
Director and Chairman of the Board of Merck Life Science Israel (formerly Sigma-Aldrich Israel Ltd.) and has held that position
since January 2010. Dr. Mayer has held various roles with Sigma-Aldrich Israel Ltd. since 1995 and was instrumental in introducing
and developing the Cell Culture and Molecular Biology business for Sigma Aldrich Israel Ltd. Dr. Mayer holds a Bachelor of
Science degree in chemistry from Hebrew University and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Israel Institute of Technology.
As remuneration for his service as a director,
Dr. Mayer will receive the same fees as the Company’s other non-executive directors, as described in the Company’s

appointment, the Company expects to enter into its standard indemnification agreement with Dr. Mayer, on substantially the same
