Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On August 26, 2019, Protalix BioTherapeutics, Inc. (the
“Company”) received a deficiency letter from NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) stating that
the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) – (iii) of the NYSE
American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) as it has reported a stockholders’ equity deficiency as of June 30,
2019 and net losses in its five most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2018.
The letter has no immediate
effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American. The Company’s common stock will trade on
the NYSE American while it regains compliance with the continued listing standards.
Consistent with the
rules set forth in the Company Guide, the Company intends to submit a detailed plan of compliance advising the NYSE American of
the actions the Company has taken, or plans to take, that would bring it into compliance with the continued listing standards within
18 months of receipt of the letter.
The Company issued a press release on the same day of this report
announcing that it had received the Deficiency Letter. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current
Report.
