On
May 17, 2019, Vascular Biogenics Ltd. (the “Company”), entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (the “Agent”) to implement an “at the market offering” program under which
the Company, from time to time, may offer and sell its ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01, having an aggregate offering
price of up to $15,000,000 (the “Shares”) through the Agent.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time
to time, based upon the Company’s instructions. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares, and may at any
time suspend sales under the Agreement or terminate the Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Company has provided the Agent
with customary indemnification rights, and the Agent will be entitled to a fixed commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds
from the Shares sold. The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, and the Company is required to deliver
customary closing documents and certificates in connection with sales of the Shares.
Sales
of the Shares under the Agreement will be made in transactions that are deemed to be an “at the market offering” as
defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on The NASDAQ Global
Market at market prices, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at prices relating to
such prevailing market prices, and/or any other method permitted by law.
The
description of the Agreement set forth herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text thereof, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
A

with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and was declared effective by the SEC on January 4, 2018.

any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior
to the registration or qualification under the securities law of any such state or jurisdiction.
The
