Explanation of Responses:
(1)  In June 2012, OPKO acquired a 50% stock ownership in SciVac Ltd., a privately held Israeli corporation ("Old SciVac"). In July 2015, Old SciVac completed a reverse takeover (the "Transaction") of Levon Resources Ltd., a Canadian corporation and Levon changed its name to "SciVac Therapeutics Inc." ("SciVac"). At the time the Transaction became effective, OPKO's Old SciVac Shares were exchanged for 185,129,317 common shares of SciVac, and OPKO became the beneficial owner of approximately 24.5% of SciVac. SciVac acquired VBI Vaccines (Delaware) Inc., a Delaware corporation in May 2016, and changed its name to "VBI Vaccines Inc." Subsequently in 2016, OPKO participated in a private placement of VBI shares and also received additional shares of VBI in connection with an anti-dilution clause with respect to the merger in 2016. OPKO's percentage ownership was then approximately 15.1%. At the time of these transactions, the issuer was a foreign private issuer.
