SUMMARY
This
summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should
consider before investing in our Common Shares. Before you decide to invest in our Common Shares, you should read the entire prospectus
carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, and the financial statements and related notes thereto and the other information

Our Company
We
are a biotechnology company with an advanced cell-based technology platform. We have developed a unique three-dimensional, or 3D, technology
platform for cell expansion with an industrial scale in-house Good Manufacturing Practice, or GMP, cell manufacturing facility. We are
utilizing our technology in the field of regenerative medicine and food tech and plan to utilize it in other industries and verticals
that have a need for our mass scale and cost-effective cell expansion platform.
We
use our advanced cell-based technology platform in the field of regenerative medicine to develop placenta-based cell therapy product
candidates for the treatment of inflammatory, muscle injuries and hematologic conditions. Our placental expanded, or PLX, cells are adherent
stromal cells that are expanded using our 3D platform. Our PLX cells can be administered to patients off-the-shelf, without blood
or tissue matching or additional manipulation prior to administration. PLX cells are believed to release a range of therapeutic proteins
in response to the patient’s condition.
Our
operations are focused on the research, development and manufacturing of cells and cell-based products, conducting clinical studies and
the business development of cell therapeutics and cell-based technologies, such as our collaboration with Tnuva Food Industries –
Agricultural Cooperative in Israel Ltd., through its fully owned subsidiary, Tnuva Food-Tech Incubator (2019), Limited Partnership, or
Tnuva, to use our technology to establish a cultivated food platform and the recent collaboration agreement we signed with a leading
European manufacturer of active pharmaceutical ingredients, or APIs, to use our expansion technology, which aims to revolutionize the
production of biologics by enabling a cost-effective, sustainable and cruelty-free ingredient.
We
expect to demonstrate a real-world impact and value from our cell-based technology platform, our current PLX pipeline and from other
cell-based product candidates that may be developed based on our platform. Our business model for commercialization and revenue generation
includes, but is not limited to, licensing deals, joint ventures, partnerships, joint development agreements and direct sale of our products.
In
the pharmaceutical area, we have focused on a number of indications utilizing our product candidates, including, but not limited to,
muscle recovery following surgery for hip fracture, incomplete recovery following bone marrow transplantation, critical limb ischemia,
Chronic Graft versus Host Disease and a potential treatment for Acute Radiation Syndrome. Some of these studies have been completed while
others are still ongoing. We believe that each of these indications is a severe unmet medical need.
In
April 2023, we unveiled a breakthrough in cell manufacturing that potentially solves one of the biggest hurdles facing cell-based industries:
cost-effective, industrial scale cell manufacturing. PluriMatrix, built upon our platform 3D cell expansion technology, significantly
scales high-quality cell production, potentially having a catalytic impact across numerous industries that require mass-scale cell production
including pharma, biologics, foodtech and agri-tech.PluriMatrix is also used by our majority-owned subsidiary Ever After Ltd. (formerly
Plurinuva Ltd.), to produce cultivated meat.
Food
Tech
On
February 24, 2022, we announced the closing of the joint venture pursuant to joint venture agreement, or the Joint Venture Agreement,
with Tnuva through our subsidiary, Pluri Biotech Ltd. Under the Joint Venture Agreement, we established a new company, Ever After Ltd.
(formerly Plurinuva Ltd.) with the purpose of developing cultivated meat products of all types and kinds.
In
December 2022, we reported that our joint venture successfully completed proof of concept in its development of cultivated meat based
on our cell-based technology platform.

exercisable, or exercisable within 60 days of May 26, 2023, are counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of the selling
shareholder holding such options or warrants but are not counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of any other selling

We
may require the selling shareholders to suspend the sales of the Common Shares offered by this prospectus upon the occurrence of any
event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires
the changing of statements in these documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.
Information
concerning additional selling shareholders not identified in this prospectus will be set forth in prospectus supplements from time to
time, if and as required. Information concerning the selling shareholder may change from time to time and any changed information will
be set forth in prospectus supplements if and when necessary.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
selling shareholders, and their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may from time to time offer and sell,
separately or together, some or all of the Common Shares, or the securities, covered by this prospectus. Registration of the securities
covered by this prospectus does not mean, however, that those securities necessarily will be offered or sold.
The
securities covered by this prospectus may be sold from time to time, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related
to market prices, at a fixed price or prices subject to change or at negotiated prices, by a variety of methods including the following:
| |
● |
in the Nasdaq Global Market; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
in privately negotiated transactions; |
| |
● |
through broker-dealers, who may act as agents or principals; |
| |
● |
through one or more underwriters on a firm commitment
or best-efforts basis; |
| |
● |
in a block trade in which a broker-dealer will attempt
to sell a block of securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| |
● |
directly to one or more purchasers; |
| |
● |
in any combination of the above. |
In
effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Broker-dealer
transactions may include:
| |
● |
purchases of the securities by a broker-dealer as principal
and resales of the securities by the broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
ordinary brokerage transactions; or |
| |
● |
transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers
on a best efforts basis. |
To
our knowledge, the selling shareholders have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or
broker-dealers regarding the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus. At any time a particular offer of the securities covered
by this prospectus is made, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the
aggregate amount of securities covered by this prospectus being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of
any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents. In addition, to the extent required, any discounts, commissions, concessions and other
items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation, as well as any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or
reallowed or paid to dealers, will be set forth in such revised prospectus supplement. Any such required prospectus supplement, and,
if necessary, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, will be filed with the SEC
to reflect the disclosure of additional information with respect to the distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus.

15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under
the Nevada Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically
unless it is specifically limited by a company’s Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify
our officers, directors, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. In addition,
our Articles of Incorporation provide that a director or officer of the company shall not be personally liable to the company or our
shareholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, but such statement shall not eliminate or limit the liability
of a director or officer for (i) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law or (ii)
the unlawful payment of dividends. Any repeal or modification of the provisions described in this paragraph by shareholders of the company
will be prospective only, and will not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director or officer of the company
for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification.
Further,
our Articles of Incorporation provide that every person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved
in any such action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by the reason of the fact that he or
she, or a person with whom he or she is a legal representative, is or was a director of the company, or who is serving at the request
of the company as a director or officer of another company, or is a representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada from time to time
against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in a settlement)
reasonably incurred or suffered by him or her in connection therewith. Such right of indemnification will be a contract right which may
be enforced in any manner desired by such person. The expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil suit or proceeding
must be paid by the company as incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, under receipt of
an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the company. Such right of indemnification will not be exclusive of
any other right of such directors, officers or representatives may have or hereafter acquire, and, without limiting the generality of
such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders,
provision of law, or otherwise, as well as their rights under this paragraph above.
We entered
into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers pursuant to which we agreed to indemnify each director and officer for
any liability he or she may incur by reason of the fact that he or she serves as our director or officer, to the maximum extent permitted
by law.
We have obtained
directors and officers insurance for the benefit of our directors and officers.
Item
16. Exhibits.
Item
17. Undertakings.
The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes:
(A) (1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include
any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect
in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration
Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement.
Provided,
however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement,
or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(4) That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i) Each
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date
the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each
prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule
430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required
by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of
the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering
described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter,
such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement
to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof. Provided, however , that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is
part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or
modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(B)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution
of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant
to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities
are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to
the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
| |
(i) |
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| |
(ii) |
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
| |
(iii) |
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating
to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned registrant; and |
| |
(iv) |
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering
made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
(C) That,
for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(D) Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Haifa, Israel on the 1st day of June
2023.
