QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING

Why am I receiving these materials?

We sent you this proxy statement and the Annual Report, as well as the enclosed proxy card, because our Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. The Annual Meeting will be held on August 1, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. (Israel time) at our Israeli office, located at 20 Mamilla Avenue, Jerusalem, 9414904. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card.

Website addresses included in this proxy statement are textual references only, and the information in any website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on June 12, 2024, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If as at the close of business on June 12, 2024, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Similar Organization

If as at the close of business on June 12, 2024, your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account or its agent is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

What am I voting on?

The matters scheduled for a vote at the Annual Meeting are:

	1.	the re-election of seven directors of the Company to hold office until our next annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors shall be elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal;

	2.	the consideration and approval, by a non-binding advisory vote, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described in the accompanying proxy statement; and

	3.	the ratification of the appointment of the Independent Auditors, as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the 2024 fiscal year.

Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR all of the above proposals.

How do I vote?

The procedures for voting are as follows:

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting, or vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person if you have already voted by proxy.

●

To vote in person, come to the Annual Meeting, where a ballot will be made available to you. Directions to attend the Annual Meeting where you may vote in person can be found at: https://www.oramed.com/investors/governance-documents/annual-shareholder-meeting.

●

To vote using the proxy card, simply complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us no less than 24 hours before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct. The chairman of the Annual Meeting may, at his or her discretion, decide to accept proxy cards even if received less than 24 hours before the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Other Similar Organization

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from us. Simply complete and mail the proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone or over the Internet as instructed by your broker, bank or other agent, provided that your broker, bank or other agent makes telephone or Internet voting available. To vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker, bank or other agent to request a proxy form.

How many votes do I have?

You have one vote for each share of common stock you own as of the close of business on June 12, 2024.

What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

If you return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted “FOR” with respect to Proposals 1, 2 and 3. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares with respect to “discretionary” items, but not with respect to “non-discretionary” items. Discretionary items are proposals considered “routine” under applicable rules on which your broker may vote shares held in street name in the absence of your voting instructions. On non-discretionary items for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as “broker non-votes.” We believe that each of Proposals 1 and 2 is considered a non-discretionary item and Proposal 3 is considered a discretionary item.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, sign and return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

●

You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date;

●

You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our Secretary at 1185 Avenue of the Americas, Third Floor, New York, New York 10036; or

●

You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other agent.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count “For,” “Against” and “Abstain” with respect to Proposals 1, 2 and 3.

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

The approvals of Proposals 1, 2, and 3 each require the vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter. Votes cast shall include votes “for” and votes “against” and exclude “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” with respect to the subject matter. Broker non-votes will not be counted as entitled to be voted (other than for the purpose of establishing a quorum, as discussed in the following paragraph), and will therefore not affect the outcome of Proposals 1 and 2 (as noted above, because Proposal 3 is considered a discretionary item, there will not be broker non-votes with respect to this Proposal).

What is the quorum requirement?

The holders of at least one third (1/3) of the common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the subject matter, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting for the transaction of business. As of June 12, 2024, there were 40,628,924 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other agent) or if you vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the stockholders entitled to vote on the subject matter, present in person or by proxy, have the power to adjourn the Annual Meeting, without notice other than announcement at the Annual Meeting. At such adjourned Annual Meeting at which the requisite amount of voting stock shall be represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the Annual Meeting as originally notified.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be reported in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF
CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of June 12, 2024 by: (1) each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock; (2) each of our current directors (each of whom is a director nominee) (a “Director Nominee”); (3) each of our Named Executive Officers listed below under “Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors – Summary Compensation Table”; and (4) all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

Inclusion of shares in the table does not, however, constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares. Unless otherwise indicated, (1) each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares that power with that person’s spouse) with respect to all shares of common stock listed as owned by that person or entity and (2) the address of each of the individuals named below is: c/o Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc., 1185 Avenue of the Americas, Third Floor, New York, New York 10036.

Board of Directors

There are no agreements with respect to the election of directors. Each director is currently elected for a period of one year at our annual meeting of stockholders and serves until the next such meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. The Board may also appoint additional directors. A director so chosen or appointed will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.

The Board has determined that Dr. Daniel Aghion, Dr. Arie Mayer, Yehuda Reznick, Leonard Sank and Benjamin Shapiro are independent as defined under the rules promulgated by the Nasdaq. Except for Dr. Arie Mayer and Yehuda Reznick, each of whom serves on the Board of Directors of Oravax Medical Inc. (“Oravax”), a company 63% owned by us, and an immaterial consulting agreement with a relative of Mr. Shapiro, none of the independent directors has any relationship with us besides serving on our Board.

We have determined that each of the directors is qualified to serve as a director of the Company based on a review of the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of each director. In reaching this determination, we have considered a variety of criteria, including, among other things: character and integrity; ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided, to exercise effective business judgment and to interact effectively with the other directors; and willingness and ability to commit the time necessary to perform the duties of a director.

Board Meeting Attendance

During Fiscal 2023, our Board held thirteen meetings and took action by written consent on eight occasions. All of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and the committees that were held during the period such director served on the Board. Board members are encouraged to attend our annual meetings of stockholders.

Board Evaluation Process

Our Board is committed to continuous improvement and conducts a board and committee evaluation process each year, to ensure that our Board maintains optimal composition and functions effectively.

As part of this process, the members of our Board complete a confidential written assessment of the performance, oversight and composition of the Board and its committees that is submitted to the Company secretary. The results are then reported back to the full Board. After the evaluations, the Board and management work to improve upon any issues presented during the evaluation process and to identify opportunities that may lead to further improvement.

Our Nominating Committee met twice and took action by written consent on one occasion during Fiscal 2023.

Director Nominations

The Nominating Committee is responsible for developing and approving criteria, subject to our Board approval, for candidates for Board membership. The Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing the compensation and size of our Board, developing qualification criteria for Board members and actively seeking, interviewing and screening individuals qualified to become Board members for recommendation to the Board and for recommending the composition of the Board for each of the Company’s annual meetings. Our Board as a whole is responsible for nominating individuals for election to the Board by the stockholders and for filling vacancies on the Board that may occur between annual meetings of stockholders.

Director nominees will be selected on the basis of their integrity, business acumen, knowledge of our business and industry, age, experience, diligence, conflicts of interest and the ability to act in the interests of all stockholders. No particular criteria will be a prerequisite or will be assigned a specific weight, nor does the Company have a diversity policy. The Company believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of its directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the Board to fulfill its responsibilities.

The Company has never received communications from stockholders nominating individuals for appointment to our Board. Therefore, we do not yet have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by stockholders. During Fiscal 2023, we did not pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate, or assist in identifying or evaluating, potential nominees to our Board. All of the Director Nominees for election at the Annual Meeting are current members of our Board.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5, and amendments thereto, furnished to us during Fiscal 2023, we believe that during Fiscal 2023, our executive officers, directors and all persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that our directors and officers failed to timely file a Form 4 reporting their annual equity grants granted on April 17, 2023, due to a technical issue. The Form 4s reporting these grants were filed on April 20, 2023.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for our senior officers, directors and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is located at our website at www.oramed.com. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement regarding any amendment to, or a waiver from, a provision of the Code of Ethics that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions and that relates to the Code of Ethics by posting such information on our website, www.oramed.com.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Under our insider trading policy, our directors, officers and employees are prohibited from engaging in short sales of our securities, purchases of our securities on margin, hedging or monetization transactions, including through the use of financial instruments.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Mr. Nadav Kidron serves as our President, Chief Executive Officer and, effective as of June 30, 2022, as Chairman of our Board. We believe that this leadership structure is appropriate to our Company given the current circumstances, including the size and operations of the Company.

The Board does not have a formal policy on whether the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be combined or separated. The Board believes that a leadership structure that separates the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, fosters effective governance and oversight of the Company. The Chairman is responsible for advising the Chief Executive Officer and presiding over meetings of the Board and consulting with the Chief Executive Officer on Board meeting agendas. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting the Company’s strategy and leading the Company’s day to day performance. We believe this governance structure promotes balance between the authority of those who oversee our business and those who manage it on a day to day basis. However, the Board also believes that the Company’s stockholders are best served by the Board having flexibility to consider the relevant facts and circumstances and determine, at the time of the Chairman’s election, the best leadership structure for the Company rather than by adhering to a formal standing policy on the subject. In light of the departure of the former Chairman from the Board following the 2022 annual meeting, the Board determined to combine the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer with Mr. Kidron until such time as it determines to nominate a new independent Chairman.

The role of our Board and each of our committees, as appropriate, in risk oversight includes risk analysis and assessment in connection with each financial and business review, update and decision-making proposal and is an integral part of all Board deliberations. Each of our Board Committees is focused on specific risks within their areas of responsibility, but the Board believes that the overall enterprise risk management process is more properly overseen by all of the members of the Board. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of financial and accounting risks. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of governance risks.

The Board’s role in our risk oversight is consistent with our leadership structure, with our President and Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing our risk exposure, and the Board providing oversight in connection with those efforts.

Attendance at Special and Annual Stockholder Meetings

We encourage our directors to attend our special and annual stockholders’ meetings. Mr. Nadav Kidron, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and Dr. Miriam Kidron, our Chief Scientific Officer and director, attended our last annual stockholder meeting.

Stockholder Communications

Although we have not adopted a formal process for stockholder communications with our Board, we believe stockholders should have the ability to communicate directly with the Board so that their views can be heard by the Board or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate and timely responses are provided to stockholders. All communications regarding general matters should be directed to the Secretary of the Company at the address below and should prominently indicate on the outside of the envelope that it is intended for the complete Board or for any particular director(s). If no designation is made, the communication will be forwarded to the entire Board. Stockholder communications to the Board should be sent to:

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

During Fiscal 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, except for compensation arrangements described elsewhere herein, we did not participate in any transaction, and we are not currently participating in any proposed transaction, or series of transactions, in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers, five percent beneficial security holders, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest.

Our policy is to enter into transactions with related persons on terms that, on the whole, are no less favorable than those available from unaffiliated third parties. Based on our experience in the business sectors in which we operate and the terms of our transactions with unaffiliated third parties, we believe that all of the transactions described below met this policy standard at the time they occurred. All related person transactions are approved by our Board.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

In the course of our oversight of the Company’s financial reporting process, we have: (1) reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for Fiscal 2023 with management; (2) discussed with the Independent Auditors the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the Commission; (3) received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the standards of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence; (4) discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence; and (5) considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the independent registered public accounting firm is compatible with maintaining its independence and concluded that it is compatible at this time.

Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2023 for filing with the SEC.

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This section explains the policies and decisions that shape our executive compensation program, including its specific objectives and elements, as it relates to our “named executive officers” (“NEOs”).

Our NEOs for Fiscal 2023 are those three individuals listed in the “Summary Compensation Table” below. The Compensation Committee believes that our executive compensation is appropriately designed to incentivize our NEOs to work for our long-term prosperity, is reasonable in comparison with the levels of compensation provided by comparable companies and reflects a reasonable cost. We believe our NEOs are critical to the achievement of our corporate goals, through which we can drive stockholder value.

The Compensation Committee of our Board is comprised solely of independent directors as defined by Nasdaq and non-employee directors as defined by Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Compensation Committee has the authority and responsibility to review and approve the compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. Other information concerning the structure, roles and responsibilities of our Compensation Committee is set forth in “Board Meetings and Committees—Compensation Committee” section.

Our executive compensation program and our NEOs’ compensation packages are designed around the following objectives:

●

attract, hire, and retain talented and experienced executives;

●

motivate, reward and retain executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;

●

ensure fairness among the executive management team via recognizing the contributions of each executive to our success;

●

focus executive behavior on achievement of our corporate objectives and strategy; and

●

align the interests of management and stockholders by providing management with longer-term incentives through equity ownership.

The Compensation Committee reviews the allocation of compensation components regularly to ensure alignment with strategic and operating goals, competitive market practices and legislative changes. The Compensation Committee does not apply a specific formula to determine the allocation between cash and non-cash forms of compensation. Certain compensation components, such as base salaries, benefits and perquisites, are intended primarily to attract, hire, and retain well-qualified executives. Other compensation elements, such as long-term incentive opportunities, are designed to motivate and reward performance. Long-term incentives are intended to reward NEOs for our long-term performance and executing our business strategy, and to strongly align NEOs’ interests with those of stockholders.

With respect to equity compensation, the Compensation Committee makes awards to executives under our Amended and Restated 2019 Incentive Plan (the “2019 Incentive Plan”). Executive compensation is paid or granted based on such matters as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, including our financial and operating performance and the alignment of the interests of the executive officers and our stockholders.

Elements of Compensation

Our executive officer compensation program is comprised of: (i) base salary or monthly compensation; (ii) discretionary bonus; (iii) long-term equity incentive compensation in the form of stock option and RSU grants; and (iv) benefits and perquisites.

In establishing overall executive compensation levels and making specific compensation decisions for our NEOs in Fiscal 2023, the Compensation Committee considered a number of criteria, including the executive’s position, scope of responsibilities, prior base salary and annual incentive awards and expected contribution.

Generally, our Compensation Committee reviews and, as appropriate, approves compensation arrangements for the NEOs from time to time but not less than once each year. The Compensation Committee also takes into consideration the President and Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations for executive compensation of the other NEOs. The President and Chief Executive Officer generally presents these recommendations at the time of our Compensation Committee’s review of executive compensation arrangements.

During Fiscal 2023, the Compensation Committee received consulting services from Aon Solutions UK Limited. (“Aon”) with regard to management compensation. The Compensation Committee engaged the consultant to review the Company’s current compensation plans for its management and collect and analyze data regarding management compensation at other companies comparable to the Company, in order to provide a competitive compensation benchmark. Aon collected SEC filings data regarding U.S. and Israeli compensation practices and developed a peer group of the following U.S. and Israeli companies: ALX Oncology Holdings Inc., Anavex Life Sciences Corp., Arbutus BioPharma Corporation, Atossa Therapeutics Inc., aTyr Pharma, Inc., Chimerix, Inc., Compugen Ltd., Fulcrum Therapeutics, Inc., Gamida Cell Ltd., Immunic, Inc., Lyra Therapeutics, Inc., Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., MediciNova, Inc., Minerva Neurosciences, Inc., Rani Therapeutics, Inc., Relmada Therapeutics, Inc., Vistagen Therapeutics, Inc. and Zevra Therapeutics, Inc.. Following its review, Aon provided recommendations for cash and equity compensation at various percentiles for the Compensation Committee’s consideration.

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee performs a review of base salaries and monthly compensation for our NEOs from time to time as appropriate. In determining salaries, the Compensation Committee members also take into consideration the scope of the NEOs’ responsibilities and independent third-party market data, such as compensation surveys to industry, individual experience and performance and contribution to our clinical, regulatory, commercial and operational performance. None of the factors above has a dominant weight in determining the compensation of our NEOs, and our Compensation Committee considers the factors as a whole when considering such compensation. In addition, our Compensation Committee uses comparative data regarding compensation paid by peer companies in order to obtain a general understanding of current trends in compensation practices and ranges of amounts being awarded by other public companies, and not as part of an analysis or a formula.

We believe that a competitive base salary and monthly compensation is a necessary element of any compensation program that is designed to attract and retain talented and experienced executives. We also believe that attractive base salaries can motivate and reward executives for their overall performance. Base salary and monthly compensation are established in part based on the individual experience, skills and expected contributions to our performance, as well as such executive’s performance during the prior year. Generally, we believe that executives’ base salaries should be targeted near the median of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions with similar responsibilities, experience and performance at comparable companies. Compensation adjustments are made occasionally based on changes in an executive’s level of responsibility, company progress or on changed local and specific executive employment market conditions.

In Fiscal 2023, our Compensation Committee increased the base salary of one of our NEOs by 10% (effective January 1, 2024) as it deemed this to be a reasonable rate based on, among other factors, such NEO’s responsibilities and the report from Aon, as it determined the salary was not in line with market compensation.

Performance Based Bonus

Our NEOs are eligible to receive discretionary annual bonuses based upon performance. The amount of annual bonus to our NEOs is based on various factors, including, among others, the achievement of scientific and business goals and our financial and operational performance. The Compensation Committee takes into account the overall performance of the individuals, as well as the overall performance of the Company over the period being reviewed and the recommendation of management. For any given year, the compensation objectives vary, but relate generally to strategic factors such as developments in our clinical path, the execution of a license agreement for the commercialization of product candidates, the establishment of key strategic collaborations, the build-up of our pipeline and financial factors such as capital raising. Bonuses are awarded generally based on corporate performance, with adjustments made within a range for individual performance, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee determines, on a discretionary basis, the size of the entire bonus pool and the amount of the actual award to each NEO. The overall payment is also based on historic compensation of the NEOs.

We believe that annual bonuses payable based on the achievement of short-term corporate goals incentivize our NEOs to create stockholder value and attain short-term performance objectives.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

Long-term incentive compensation allows the NEOs to share in any appreciation in the value of our common stock. The Compensation Committee believes that stock participation aligns executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders. Equity incentive awards are generally made at the commencement of employment and following a significant change in job responsibilities, or to meet other special retention or performance objectives. The amounts of the awards are designed to reward past performance and create incentives to meet long-term objectives. Awards are made at a level expected to be competitive within the biotechnology industry, as well as with Israeli-based companies. Awards are made on a discretionary basis and not pursuant to specific criteria set out in advance. In determining the amount of each grant, the Compensation Committee also takes into account the number of shares held by the executive prior to the grant. The vesting schedule for NEOs generally provides for annual installments for new grants, though the Compensation Committee also utilizes quarterly vesting from time to time, as well as performance-based vesting. The Compensation Committee believes that time-based vesting encourages recipients to build stockholder value over a long period of time and that performance-based vesting encourages recipients to achieve goals that benefit the Company.

As part of its engagement in Fiscal 2023 described above, Aon also provided consulting services in connection with grants of equity awards to our executive officers. Aon reviewed annual long-term incentive grants at peer companies, as well as such grants made by companies in the broader market, based on a blend of Black-Scholes valuations and grants as a percentage of the applicable company’s capitalization. Following such consultation, the Compensation Committee is considering alternative models and equity vehicles for future equity-based grants.

Benefits and Perquisites

Generally, benefits available to NEOs are available to all employees on similar terms and include welfare benefits, paid time-off, life and disability insurance and other customary or mandatory social benefits in Israel. We provide some of our NEOs with a phone and a company car, which are customary benefits in Israel to managers and officers.

We do not believe that the benefits and perquisites described above deviate materially from the customary practice for compensation of executive officers by other companies similar in size and stage of development in Israel. These benefits represent a relatively small portion of the executive officers’ total compensation.

The Company paid for certain direct costs, related taxes and expenses incurred in connection with the relocation of our President and Chief Executive Officer to the United States. During Fiscal 2023, such relocation expenses totaled approximately $331,000 and $109,000, respectively, and included mainly payments intended to reflect the difference in the cost of living between Israel and the United States, relocation expenses, accommodation allowances, education allowances, health insurance and related taxes.

Say-on-Pay Vote

Our stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation program at our annual meeting of stockholders held on June 30, 2022. We did not seek or receive any specific feedback from our stockholders concerning our executive compensation program during the past fiscal year. The Compensation Committee did not specifically rely on the results of the prior vote in making any compensation-related decisions during Fiscal 2023.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the foregoing Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with our management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to our Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2023 and in this proxy statement.

Policy Relating to Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation

Our Board has adopted an executive compensation clawback policy, administered by our Compensation Committee, which provides for the recoupment (or clawback) from current and former executive officers of certain compensation in the event of an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws of the United States. In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company’s material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the Compensation Committee will require prompt reimbursement or forfeiture of any excess incentive compensation (as defined in the clawback policy) received by any covered executive officer during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.

All information provided above under the “Pay-Versus-Performance” heading will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of Oramed’s filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing, except to the extent Oramed specifically incorporates such information by reference.

PROPOSAL 2:
ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and related rules of the SEC, we are including a separate proposal subject to stockholder vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs listed in the Summary Compensation Table appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K. To learn more about our executive compensation, see “Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors” elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Our stockholders voted on August 3, 2020, to have advisory votes every two years to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s NEOs, and we have adopted that approach. At the annual meeting of our stockholders held on June 30, 2022, approximately 90% of the total stockholders’ votes cast were cast in favor of the fiscal 2021 compensation of our NEOs. The Compensation Committee has and will consider this result in future executive compensation decisions. Following the vote on this Proposal at the Annual Meeting, we will present a similar advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs at our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

The vote on this Proposal 2 is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the compensation of our NEOs, as described in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC. To the extent there is any significant vote against our NEO compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, our Compensation Committee of our Board will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address the concerns of stockholders.

Based on the above, we request that you indicate your support for our executive compensation, by voting in favor of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers as described in this proxy statement, including the “Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors” section, the related compensation tables and other narrative compensation disclosures.”

The opportunity to vote on this Proposal 2 is required pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act. However, as an advisory vote, the vote on Proposal 2 is not binding upon us and serves only as a recommendation to our Board. Nonetheless, our Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program, and the Board value the opinions expressed by stockholders, and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs.

Vote Required

The approval of Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the number of shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the compensation of our NEOs, as disclosed in this proxy statement.
