On June 25, 2019, Mrs. Xiaopeng Li, a member
of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”), notified the Company
of her intention to resign from the Board for personal reasons, effective immediately. Mrs. Xiaopeng Li did not advise the Company
of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.
On July 1, 2019, the Board appointed Mr. Xiaoming
Gao, age 57, as a member of the Board to fill the vacancy resulting from Mrs. Li’s resignation. Mr. Xiaoming Gao was not,
and is not expected to be, appointed to serve on any Board committees.
Mr. Xiaoming Gao is the chairman of Technology
License Agreement with Hefei Tianhui Incubator of Technologies Co. Ltd. (“HTIT”) and has more than 30 years of
experience in the insulin industry and was responsible for introducing Novo Nordisk insulin to China. In 2007, he founded
Hefei Tianmai Biotechnology development Co., Ltd. ("HTBT") and started recombinant human insulin and insulin analogs’
R&D manufacturing for the Greater China region.
As remuneration for his service as a director,
Mr. Xiaoming Gao will receive the same fees as the Company’s other non-executive directors, as described in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018. Except as otherwise set forth herein, there is no arrangement
or understanding between Mr. Xiaoming Gao and any other person pursuant to which he was elected as a director, and there are no
transactions in which Mr. Xiaoming Gao has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In connection
with Mr. Xiaoming Gao’s appointment, the Company expects to enter into its standard indemnification agreement with Mr. Xiaoming
