Strategic Services Agreement On April 24, 2025, concurrent with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Oramed Ltd. entered into a Strategic IR/PR Services Agreement (the "Strategic Services Agreement") with the Issuer, whereby the Issuer engaged Oramed Ltd., on a non-exclusive basis, to provide the Issuer with comprehensive strategic investor relations and public relations management services in certain territories including the United States, Israel and South Korea. As consideration for the services to be provided pursuant to the Strategic Services Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to pay Oramed Ltd. an aggregate non-refundable fee of $3,000,000, with $500,000 payable upon execution of the Strategic Services Agreement and the remaining $2,500,000 payable in five equal instalments every six months following the date of the Strategic Services Agreement.

The term of the Strategic Services Agreement is for three years and neither Oramed Ltd. nor the Issuer may terminate the Strategic Services Agreement prior to the end of the term, except in the event of a material breach (not cured within ten calendar days from the date the breaching party became aware of such breach) or if the other party has been accused of any crime or impropriety which pertains to activities which are similar in nature to the services to be provided under the Strategic Services Agreement. The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the Strategic Services Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to forms of the Purchase Agreement and the Strategic Services Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 of this Schedule 13D, respectively.

Based upon such review, the Reporting Persons will take such actions in the future as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time, which may include further acquisitions of the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer or disposal of some or all of the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer owned by the Reporting Persons or otherwise acquired by the Reporting Persons, either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Any open market or privately negotiated purchases or sales, acquisition recommendations or proposals or other transactions concerning the Issuer may be made at any time without prior notice.

Although the foregoing reflects plans and proposals presently contemplated by each Reporting Person with respect to the Issuer, the foregoing is subject to change at any time and dependent upon contingencies and assumed and speculative conditions, and there can be no assurance that any of the actions set forth above will be taken. The Reporting Persons have in the past, and may in the future, engage in discussions with the Issuer's management, board of directors, and/or other shareholders covering a broad range of subjects, including relative to performance, strategic direction, capital allocation, shareholder value, board composition and governance of the Issuer. Depending upon each factor discussed above and any other factor (which may be unknown at this time) that is, or may become relevant, the Reporting Persons may consider, among other things: (a) the acquisition by the Reporting Persons of additional securities of the Issuer, the disposition of securities of the Issuer, or the exercise of convertible securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) changes in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer; (e) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer's articles of incorporation, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing any class of the Issuer's securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above. Except to the extent that the foregoing may be deemed to be a plan or proposal, neither of the Reporting Persons currently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clause (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Depending upon the foregoing factors and to the extent deemed advisable in light of their general investment policies, or other factors, the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, or any other actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
