ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Description of Business
We are a pharmaceutical company
engaged in the research and development of innovative pharmaceutical solutions with a technology platform that allows for the oral delivery
of therapeutic proteins. In addition, we allocate capital to strategic investments in healthcare and life sciences companies that we
believe complement our long-term business objectives and technology focus.
We have developed an oral
dosage form intended to withstand the harsh environment of the gastrointestinal tract and effectively deliver active insulin or other
proteins. The formulation is not intended to modify the proteins chemically or biologically, and the dosage form is designed to be safe
to ingest.
We intend to initiate,
in the second half of 2026, a 60-patient, US-based clinical trial designed to validate the robustness of our oral insulin formulation
in defined patient population. The trial is designed to use the smallest adequately powered patient population expected to obtain such
validation in what we believe to be the shortest time possible, providing a cost-effective approach to generate additional compelling
evidence and refine our patient selection criteria for future potential regulatory submissions.
The trial will be conducted by OraTech. For additional information,
see note 21 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As part of our business strategy,
we continuously review our existing pipeline and evaluate potential strategic opportunities to enhance stockholder value. Accordingly,
in addition to our core pharmaceutical activities, we have made strategic investments in healthcare and life sciences companies and entered
into other investment, financing, and real estate transactions, as further described below.

HTIT JV Agreement
On January 22, 2024, we along
with our wholly-owned subsidiary Oramed Ltd., entered into a joint venture agreement, or the Initial JV Agreement, with Hefei Tianhui
Biotech Co., Ltd. or HTIT, and its subsidiary Technowl Limited or HTIT Sub., to establish OraTech, or the “JV”. OraTech will
focus on developing and commercializing products based on our oral insulin and POD™ technology, utilizing HTIT’s manufacturing
capabilities.
On February 7, 2025, we and
HTIT entered into a Joint Venture Agreement or, the “JV Agreement”, amending the Initial JV Agreement, to advance the development
and commercialization of oral insulin by combining our proprietary technology and funding with HTIT’s manufacturing capabilities.
The initial closing did not occur due to HTIT failing to satisfy the closing conditions under the JV Agreement and the supplemental agreement.
Accordingly, on October 23, 2025, we provided notice of termination of the JV Agreement and the supplemental agreement.

Alpha Tau Transaction
On April 24, 2025, our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Oramed Ltd entered into a share purchase agreement with Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq: DRTS), or Alpha Tau, a clinical-stage
oncology company developing a proprietary alpha-radiation cancer therapy platform known as Alpha DaRT™. Pursuant to the agreement,
Oramed Ltd. purchased 14,110,121 ordinary shares, no par value per share, of Alpha Tau in a registered direct offering at a price of
$2.612 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $36,900,000. The closing of the transaction occurred on April 28,
2025. In connection with the investment, Oramed Ltd. has the right and have nominated two directors to Alpha Tau’s board of directors.
In addition, since the share purchase agreement date and until December 31, 2025, we purchased an additional 359,214 shares of Alpha
Tau for an aggregate amount of $1,255,781. As of December 31, 2025 and March 26, 2026, we hold an aggregate of 14,469,335 ordinary shares
of Alpha Tau, representing approximately 17% of its outstanding share capital.
Concurrently, we and Alpha Tau entered into a
services agreement, or the Service Agreement, pursuant to which we will provide Alpha Tau with investor relations and public relations
services. As consideration, Alpha Tau agreed to pay us a non-refundable fee of $3,000,000 over three years and to issue to us warrants
to purchase up to 3,237,000 ordinary shares of Alpha Tau at exercise prices ranging from $3.474 to $3.90 per share. The term of the Services
Agreement is three years, with limited termination rights.
Alpha DaRT™ Platform and Technology
Alpha Tau’s Alpha DaRT platform is designed
to deliver highly localized alpha radiation through intratumoral insertion of radium-224 impregnated sources into solid tumors. When
the radium decays, its short-lived daughters are released and disperse while emitting high-energy alpha particles aimed at destroying
tumor cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. This approach potentially offers a novel treatment solution for patients with otherwise
difficult-to-treat cancers where conventional external beam radiation may be limited.

Clinical Development Progress
Alpha Tau is currently conducting an extensive
clinical program with five concurrent FDA-approved trials in the United States, alongside additional trials in France, Italy, Israel,
and planned studies in the UK:
U.S. Clinical Trials:
●ReSTART
Pivotal Trial (Recurrent SCC Treatment with Alpha DaRT Radiation Therapy): A multi-center pivotal study in patients with recurrent
cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), the second most common form of skin cancer. As of January 2026, Alpha Tau targeted completion
of patient recruitment in Q1 2026 and has begun submitting modules of its Modular Pre-Market Approval (PMA) application to the FDA, with
expected completion of the full submission by year-end 2026.
●IMPACT
Study (Intratumoral Pancreatic Alpha Combination Trial): A multi-center pilot study in newly-diagnosed pancreatic cancer patients
combining Alpha DaRT with chemotherapy. Alpha Tau reported encouraging data from its first-in-human pancreatic cancer studies in Canada
and Israel, including positive results presented at the 2026 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. Alpha Tau is targeting completion
of patient accrual by the end of Q1 2026, with initial results expected by year-end 2026.
●GBM
Feasibility Study: A study in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a highly aggressive malignant brain tumor. Alpha
Tau announced treatment of its first patient at Ohio State University and expects initial results around the end of Q4 2026.
●Recurrent
Prostate Cancer Pilot Study: A pilot study in patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer.
●Immunocompromised
cSCC Study: A multi-center study in immunocompromised patients with cSCC.
In addition, Alpha Tau is engaged in pre-clinical
research partnerships with leading academic institutions including Mayo Clinic, McGill University, Emory University, and MD Anderson
Cancer Center, exploring combinations with immunotherapy. Alpha Tau has also reported encouraging interim data from a clinical study
in Israel examining the combination of Alpha DaRT with checkpoint inhibitor therapeutics for patients with locally advanced or metastatic
head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and is exploring the possibility of conducting a sixth U.S. trial in this indication.
Regulatory and Commercial Progress
In addition to the ongoing FDA engagement for
its U.S. clinical programs, Alpha Tau has reported that it is anticipating a response from Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and
Welfare regarding its application for approval of Alpha DaRT in the treatment of recurrent head and neck cancer, which would mark Alpha
DaRT’s first commercial approval outside of Israel if granted.
On the manufacturing front, Alpha Tau has received
a radioactive materials license for its Hudson, New Hampshire facility and is currently equipping the facility for Alpha DaRT manufacturing
to support commercial readiness and scale-up operations.
Strategic Overview Rationale
Alpha Tau has demonstrated encouraging clinical
progress across multiple difficult-to-treat cancer types, including pancreatic cancer, head and neck cancer, and skin cancer, with interim
data showing disease control and early signals of clinical benefit. With five concurrent FDA-approved trials in the U.S., ongoing regulatory
dialogue with the FDA, potential near-term regulatory approval in Japan, and advancement toward PMA submission for its pivotal skin cancer
trial, Alpha Tau is entering a critical phase of clinical validation and regulatory progression. The company’s innovative alpha-radiation
platform, combined with its expanding clinical footprint across multiple solid tumor types and growing manufacturing capabilities, represents
what we believe to be a compelling investment opportunity in the oncology therapeutics space.
Pelthos Therapeutics Inc.
On July 1, 2025, we purchased 150,000 shares of common stock of Pelthos
Therapeutics Inc, or Pelthos, for an aggregate amount of $1,500,000. Subsequent to December 31, 2025 and through March 26, 2026, we sold

SEC on December 4, 2025.
We have, and intend to in the future, engage in discussions with Nano’s
management, members of Nano’s board of directors, and/or other shareholders of Nano concerning, among other things, Nano’s
performance, the market price of the Nano Ordinary Shares relative to the value of Nano’s assets, potential financing options for
Nano, Nano’s business strategy, potential transactions and other issues for the betterment of Nano. We intend to engage in discussions
with Nano and other shareholders thereof regarding the management of Nano and to recommend changes to the composition of the board of
directors and expect to subsequently have further discussion with Nano’s management and board of directors covering board composition
as well as a broad range of subjects relative to performance, strategic direction, shareholder value and governance of Nano.
Transactions with Lifeward
Secured Promissory Note
On November 14, 2025, in
anticipation of the transactions contemplated by the Lifeward Share Purchase Agreement and the Lifeward Notes Purchase Agreement described
below, we entered into a loan agreement with Lifeward Ltd. or “Lifeward” pursuant to which we provided Lifeward with a $3,000,000
secured promissory note bearing interest at 15% per annum and maturing on May
14, 2026, unless earlier repaid or converted in accordance with its terms. The note is secured by a lien on Lifeward’s cash
and accounts receivable.
The
principal and accrued interest under the note are convertible into Lifeward ordinary shares at a conversion price of $5.40 per share,
reflecting Lifeward’s 12-for-1 reverse share split effected on February 24, 2026, which adjusted the original conversion price
of $0.45 per share.
On February 12, 2026, we
agreed to provide Lifeward with an additional secured promissory note with an initial principal amount
of $525,000, which may be increased by up to an additional $975,000, bearing interest at 24%
per annum and secured by a lien on Lifeward’s cash. As of March 26,
2026, we had funded $1,025,000 under this additional note.
The
outstanding principal and accrued interest under the secured promissory notes are expected to be rolled into the Initial Notes issued
under the Lifeward Notes Purchase Agreement described below.
Lifeward Share Purchase Agreement
On January 12, 2026, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement or,
the “Lifeward Share Purchase Agreement” with Lifeward and OraTech pursuant to which Lifeward agreed to acquire all of the
outstanding equity interests of OraTech from us or the “Share Purchase Transaction”. Prior to the closing, we transferred
to Oratech all intellectual property and related assets relating to our POD™ (Protein Oral Delivery) technology platform, together
with cash to fund the next planned clinical trial and related development activities. As a result, commencing on the closing date of March
25, 2026, research and development expenses will be borne by Oratech.
In consideration for the acquisition of OraTech, Lifeward issued to
us: (i) Lifeward Ordinary Shares and pre-funded warrants to purchase Lifeward Ordinary Shares representing up to 49.99% of Lifeward’s
fully diluted equity capitalization at closing, subject to adjustments, which such the Lifeward Ordinary Shares issued at closing represented
less than 45.0% of the outstanding Lifeward Ordinary Shares at closing; (ii) warrants to purchase Lifeward Ordinary Shares equal to the
quotient of Lifeward’s net cash at closing divided by an exercise price of $5.40 per share, reflecting Lifeward’s 12-for-1
reverse share split effected on February 24, 2026 (which adjusted the original exercise price of $0.45 per share), subject to adjustments
or, the “Share Purchase Warrants”; and (iii) revenue-sharing payments equal to 4% of the net revenue from Lifeward’s
ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton products and related extended warranties for up to 10 years following closing, subject to certain caps and
early termination upon the occurrence of specified events.
6
The closing of the Share Purchase Transaction was subject to customary
closing conditions, including the approval of Lifeward’s shareholders for the issuance of more than 19.99% of Lifeward Ordinary
Shares in accordance with Nasdaq listing standards. Such shareholder approval was obtained on March 12, 2026. The closing of the Share
Purchase Transaction took place on March 25, 2026.
In connection with the transaction,
Lifeward agreed to file a resale registration statement with the SEC covering the Lifeward Ordinary Shares issued in the transaction
and those issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants and warrants described above as soon as practicable following closing, but
no later than 75 days after closing, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective
within 75 days after closing (or 105 days in the event of a full SEC review).
Pre-Funded Warrants and Share Purchase Warrants
The Share Purchase Warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance
at an initial exercise price of $5.40 per share, reflecting Lifeward’s 12-for-1 reverse share split effected on February 24, 2026
(which adjusted the original exercise price of $0.45 per share), and expire five years from the date of issuance. The exercise price is
subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.
The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0012 per share
(reflecting the reverse-split adjusted price of the original $0.0001 per share), subject to customary adjustments, and will remain exercisable
until exercised in full.
We may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded
Warrants or Share Purchase Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, we and our affiliates would beneficially
own more than 45.0% of the outstanding Lifeward Ordinary Shares. This limitation will automatically increase to 49.99% once (i) the Investors
no longer hold any Notes and (ii) the Investors have sold all Note Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Notes and related
warrants. We may increase the beneficial ownership limitation upon at least 61 days’ prior notice to Lifeward; provided that, for
so long as certain Lifeward warrants outstanding as of the issuance date remain outstanding, any such increase will require Lifeward’s
consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
In connection with the execution
of the Lifeward Share Purchase Agreement, we entered into a lock-up agreement for a period of 120 days after the Closing, without the
prior written consent of Lifeward.
Clinical Trial Management Agreement
In connection with the Lifeward Share Purchase Agreement we agreed
to enter into a clinical trial management or, the “Clinical Trial Management Agreement” with Oratech, pursuant to which we
agreed to manage the clinical study of Oratech’s investigational oral insulin capsule product or, the “Study”, including
providing clinical trial management and administrative services through study completion or, the “Services”. In consideration
for the Services, OraTech will reimburse us for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by us in providing the Services
and payments made on behalf of OraTech to third parties and vendors, such as clinical sites, if applicable, subject to certain limitations
and maximum payments as set forth in the Clinical Trial Management Agreement. The Clinical Trial Management Agreement will terminate upon
completion of the Study unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms set forth therein.
7
Notes Securities Purchase Agreement
On January 12, 2026, we entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement or, the “Lifeward Notes Purchase Agreement” with Lifeward and other investors pursuant to which we agreed
to purchase, in a private placement, up to $18,000,000 of senior secured convertible notes issued
by Lifeward, together with accompanying warrants to purchase Lifeward Ordinary Shares.
At the initial closing, which occurred on March 25, 2026, we agreed
to purchase $9,000,000 aggregate principal amount of such notes or, the “Initial Notes”. The Initial Notes bear interest at
8% per annum, payable semi-annually, and mature three years from the date of issuance. The Initial Notes are convertible into Lifeward
Ordinary Shares at an initial conversion price of $5.40 per share, reflecting Lifeward’s 12-for-1 reverse share split effected on
February 24, 2026 (which adjusted the original conversion price of $0.45 per share), subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.
We also agreed to purchase an additional $9,000,000
aggregate principal amount of notes or, the “Additional Notes” and together with the Initial Notes, or, the “Notes”,
together with accompanying warrants, on substantially the same terms as the Initial Notes.
The closing of the Additional Notes is subject
to customary closing conditions and either:
(i)Lifeward achieving at least a 150%
increase in ReWalk unit sales compared to the trailing twelve-month period immediately preceding the Additional Closing; or
(ii)the closing price of Lifeward Ordinary Shares equaling or
exceeding $13.80 per share, reflecting Lifeward’s 12-for-1
reverse share split (which adjusted the original $1.15 threshold), for 10 consecutive trading
days immediately prior to the Additional Closing.
The closing of the Initial
Notes was subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of Lifeward’s shareholders for the issuance of more
than 19.99% of Lifeward Ordinary Shares in accordance with Nasdaq listing standards. Such
shareholder approval was obtained on March 12, 2026.
In connection with the transaction, Lifeward
agreed to file a resale registration statement with the SEC covering the Lifeward Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes
and exercise of the related warrants within 30 days after the Initial Closing, and to use commercially
reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 45 days thereafter
(or 75 days in the event of a full SEC review).
Strategic Overview Rationale
As part of our ongoing portfolio optimization and focus on high potential
innovation, during 2026 we entered into a strategic transaction with Lifeward Ltd. Under this agreement, we transferred our proprietary
Protein Oral Delivery POD platform, representing years of research to enable oral administration of injectable biologics including its
refined oral insulin program, to Lifeward while retaining responsibility for managing the near-term clinical development program and receiving
a significant equity ownership interest in the combined company. This transaction aligns us with a revenue generating medical robotics
business with established products such as ReWalk and AlterG, providing near term cash flow and diversified exposure alongside the long
term upside of the POD platform. we believe that prior execution challenges at Lifeward were driven primarily by strategy and management
rather than the quality of the underlying technology. With a new strategic direction and leadership team in place, we believe Lifeward
is well positioned to advance the oral insulin program and fully realize the value of its combined technology platforms, ultimately delivering
meaningful growth and shareholder value.

Corner Ally Ventures
On March 1, 2026, our board approved the formation of Corner Ally Ventures
or, the “Fund”, a new venture capital fund focused on investments in Israeli technology companies. We co-founded the Fund
together with Corner Capital Management, LLC and, together with Ben Shapiro, are expected to serve as a major general partner of the Fund
and to participate in its management and investment decision-making and may be entitled to a share of the Fund’s carried interest.
We also expect to serve as an anchor limited partner and have committed to vest up to $40,000,000 in the Fund, which is expected to be
funded over an anticipated four-year capital call period. The Fund’s initial closing, subject to a minimum capital commitment of
$75,000,000, is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2026.
Real Estate Investments
On November 7, 2024, our
Board of Directors, or the Board, approved investments of up to $10,000,000 in real estate assets. This decision aligns with our strategic
approach to capital allocation, leveraging opportunities in the current real estate market where we have identified attractive investment
prospects. With interest rates expected to decline and valuations presenting favorable entry points, the Board believes these investments
could provide long-term value appreciation and potential income streams, further strengthening our financial position. As we continue
to evaluate our business strategy, including potential structural changes, these investments are intended to enhance financial flexibility
and maximize shareholder value. On February 13, 2025, the Board approved increasing the real estate investments to up to $30,000,000.
Profit-Sharing Loan Agreement
On September 4, 2024, we
entered into a loan agreement, or the Profit-Sharing Loan Agreement, with Rabi Binyamin 4 Tama 38 Ltd. or, the “Borrower”,
to finance a real estate project or, the “Rabi Binyamin Project”. According to the terms of the Profit-Sharing Loan Agreement,
we agreed to loan NIS 5,500,000 (approximately $1,523,000) or, the “Loan Principal”, to the Borrower. NIS 4,700,000 (approximately
$1,307,000) was loaned upon signing the Profit-Sharing Loan Agreement and an additional NIS 800,000 (approximately $237,000), or the
Additional Payment, will be loaned upon certain milestones. On October 28, 2025, the Borrower met the milestones and is entitled to the
additional payment.
On September 14, 2025, we loaned an additional NIS 500,000 (approximately
$150,286) to the Borrower or’ the “Additional Loan”. The Additional Loan bears an annual interest of 6% and shall be
repaid by December 31, 2025. According to the Additional Loan agreement, we shall be entitled to instruct the Borrower that instead of
repaying the Additional Loan on the maturity date, the principal amount of the loan, as well as any accrued interest up to the date of
such notice, shall be deemed to constitute a loan amount provided by us, as part of the remaining portion of the Profit-Sharing Loan Agreement.
As of December 31, 2025, the Additional Loan had not been repaid. The maturity date of the Additional Loan was subsequently extended to
June 30, 2026.
Upon completion of the Rabi
Binyamin Project, we are entitled to receive the Loan Principal and the greater of: (i) 20% annual interest of the Loan Principal and
(ii) 40% of the Rabi Binyamin Project profits.
Castel
In January 2025, we entered
into an agreement to acquire a parcel of land in Mevaseret Zion, Israel for a total purchase price of NIS 5,800,000 ($1,586,000). The
transaction was structured as installments payments, and as of December 31, 2025, we had paid the full purchase price. We intend to pursue
value-enhancing activities in connection with the land, with the goal of increasing its potential return upon future sale.
Ruby Sapphire II Investment
On December 31, 2025, we
entered into agreement and committed to invest NIS 7,000,000 (approximately $2,185,000) as a limited partner in Ruby Capital Investment
Fund Sapphire II, Limited Partnership or, the “Ruby Sapphire II”, an Israeli private investment fund. Our commitment may
be drawn down over time in accordance with the fund’s partnership agreement, and the investment is subject to the risks inherent
in private investment funds, including illiquidity and the potential loss of invested capital. As of March 26, 2026, we had funded NIS
1,556,493 (approximately $499,000) under this commitment.

Loan to Hapisga Project
On March 24, 2025, we entered into a loan agreement with Hapisga Project
– New Talpiot Ltd. to finance a purchase of a real estate asset in Jerusalem, Israel in the amount of up to $22,650,000 or, the
“Hapisga Loan”. The loan has a one-year maturity, and a caveat was registered on the property reflecting a commitment to register
a first-ranking mortgage on the property which is valued at approximately NIS 3,000,000,000 (approximately $890,000,000), providing significant
collateral coverage. The loan bears an annual interest rate of 12%.
On the same date, we entered
into a loan agreement with Tova Chochma Im Nachala Ltd. or, the “Tova Chochma” in the amount of $5,000,000. The loan bears
an annual interest rate of 12% with a maturity date of 12 months. In May 2025, Tova Chochma repaid an amount of $500,000. Tova Chochma
can repay the loan at any time. This loan is also secured by the registration of the caveat for Hapisga Loan. The loans were granted
by us in April 2025.
Research and Development
Oral Insulin and Strategic
Review Process
Our proprietary flagship
product, an orally ingestible insulin capsule, or ORMD-0801, allows insulin to travel from the gastrointestinal tract via the portal
vein to the bloodstream, revolutionizing the manner in which insulin is delivered. It enables the passage in a more physiological manner
than current delivery methods of insulin. We conducted the ORA-D-013-1 Phase 3 trial on patients with type 2 diabetes, with inadequate
glycaemic control who were on two or three oral glucose-lowering agents. The primary endpoint of the trial was to evaluate the efficacy
of ORMD-0801, compared to placebo in improving glycaemic control as assessed by HbA1c, with a secondary efficacy endpoint of assessing
the change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose at 26 weeks. On January 11, 2023, we announced that the ORA-D-013-1 Phase 3 trial
did not meet its primary or secondary endpoints.
Following the January 2023
results, we initiated a strategic review process and conducted a comprehensive analysis of the data to understand if there is a path
forward for our oral insulin candidate. Accordingly, we completed a subpopulation analysis that identified patient groups with specific
parameters (BMI, baseline HbA1c, and age) demonstrating an over 1% placebo-adjusted, statistically significant reduction in HbA1c. Based
on these findings, on September 12, 2024, we submitted a protocol to the FDA titled, “A Double-Blinded, Placebo-controlled, Double
Dummy Multi-Center Randomized, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the efficacy and safety in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Inadequate
Glycemic Control on One to Three Glucose-lowering Agents” or a revised Phase 3 trial (ORA-D-013-3).
We intend on initiating a 60-patient, US-based clinical trial designed
to validate the robustness of our oral insulin formulation in these high-responder populations. The trial is designed to use the smallest
adequately powered patient population expected to obtain such validation in what we believe to be the shortest time possible, providing
a cost-effective approach to generate additional compelling evidence and refine our patient selection criteria for future potential regulatory
submissions. The trial will be conducted by OraTech. For additional information, see note 21 to our consolidated financial statements
included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Diabetes Market Overview
Diabetes is a disease in
which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that causes sugar to be absorbed into cells, where the
sugar is converted into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes is attributed both to genetics (type 1 diabetes, or T1D)
and, most often, to environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise (T2D). According to the International Diabetes Federation,
or IDF, approximately 589 million adults (20-79 years) worldwide suffered from diabetes in 2024 and the IDF projects this number will
increase to 853 million by 2050. According to the American Diabetes Association or, the “ADA”, in 2024, the United States
there were approximately 38.5 million people with diabetes. Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke
and amputation.
Intellectual Property and Patents
We own a portfolio of patents
and patent applications covering our technologies, and we are aggressively protecting these technology developments on a worldwide basis.
We maintain a proactive intellectual
property strategy, which includes patent filings in multiple jurisdictions, including the United States and other commercially significant
markets. We hold 21 patent applications currently pending, with respect to various compositions, methods of production and oral administration
of proteins and exenatide. Expiration dates for pending patents, if granted, will fall between 2026 and 2039.
We hold 141 patents, one
of which issued during the year ended December 31, 2025, including patents issued by the United States, Swiss, German, French, U.K.,
Italian, Netherlands, Swedish, Spanish, Australian, Israeli, Japanese, New Zealand, South African, Russian, Canadian, Hong Kong, Chinese,
European and Indian patent offices that cover a part of our technology, which allows for the oral delivery of proteins; patents issued
by the Australian, Canadian, European, Austrian, Belgian, French, German, Irish, Italian, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norwegian,
Spanish, Swedish, Swiss, U.K., Israeli, New Zealand, South African, Russian, Brazilian and Japanese patent offices that cover part of
our technology for the oral delivery of exenatide; and patents issued by the European, Austrian, Belgian, Denmark, French, German, Irish,
Italian, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss, U.K. and Japanese patent offices for treating diabetes.
Consistent with our strategy
to seek protection in key markets worldwide, we have been and will continue to pursue the patent applications and corresponding foreign
counterparts of such applications. We believe that our success will depend on our ability to obtain patent protection for our intellectual
property.
Our patent strategy is as
follows:
●
Aggressively protect all
current and future technological developments to assure strong and broad protection by filing patents and/or continuations in part
as appropriate,
●
Protect technological developments
at various levels, in a complementary manner, including the base technology, as well as specific applications of the technology,
and
●
Establish comprehensive
coverage in the United States and in all relevant foreign markets in anticipation of future commercialization opportunities.
Trademarks and Trade Secrets
We have trademark applications
pending in Israel, with Corresponding international trademark applications in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, the European
Union, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Switzerland,

We also rely on trade secrets
and unpatentable know-how that we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements. Our policy is to require our employees, consultants,
contractors, manufacturers, outside scientific collaborators and sponsored researchers, our Board, technical review board and other advisors,
to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment or consulting relationships with us. These agreements provide
that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the individual’s relationship
with us is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific limited circumstances. We also require signed
confidentiality or material transfer agreements from any company that is to receive our confidential information. In the case of employees,
consultants and contractors, the agreements provide that all inventions conceived by the individual while rendering services to us shall
be assigned to us as the exclusive property of us. There can be no assurance, however, that all persons who we desire to sign such agreements
will sign, or if they do, that these agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our
trade secrets or unpatentable know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.
Out-Licensed Technology
We entered into strategic
agreements with Lifeward pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of the outstanding equity interests of OraTech, effectively transferring
all intellectual property and related assets relating to our POD™ (Protein Oral Delivery) technology platform, together with associated
development activities for the oral insulin program. In consideration, we will receive equity securities of Lifeward, including ordinary
shares and warrants, as well as potential revenue-sharing payments. In addition, we will continue to support the development of the out-licensed
technology by providing clinical trial management and related services for the oral insulin capsule program.
Entera Bio
In June 2010, our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Oramed Ltd., entered into a joint venture agreement with Israel Canada Hotels Ltd (formerly DNA GROUP (T.R.) Ltd.) or DNA,
for the establishment of Entera Bio Ltd., or Entera.
In March 2011, Oramed Ltd.
sold shares of Entera to DNA and retaining 117,000 ordinary shares (after giving effect to Entera’s July 2018 stock split), and,
as part of the consideration, received ordinary shares of DNA. In connection with the joint venture, Oramed Ltd entered into a patent
transfer agreement pursuant to which it assigned to Entera its rights to a patent application related to the oral administration of proteins
(previously licensed to Entera since August 2010), in return for royalties of 3% of Entera’s net revenues and a license back of
diabetes and influenza indications.
As of December 31, 2025,
Entera had not paid any royalties to Oramed Ltd. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not sell any of DNA’s
ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2025, we held approximately 0.2% of DNA’s outstanding ordinary shares and 0.3% of Entera’s
outstanding ordinary shares.
HTIT
In 2015-2016, we entered
into an exclusive license agreement with HTIT, as amended or, the “HTIT License Agreement”, granting HTIT commercialization
rights to our oral insulin capsule, ORMD-0801, in the People’s Republic of China, Macau, and Hong Kong. Under the agreement, HTIT
conducts pre-commercialization and regulatory activities at its own expense and pays us (i) royalties of 10% on net sales (subject to
reduction to 8% if certain conditions are not met, or 5% following patent expiration in 2033), and (ii) milestone payments totaling $37,500,000,
of which we have received $20,500,000. The royalty payment obligation continues from first commercial sale until the later of (i) patent
expiration in the territory or (ii) 15 years after first commercial sale.
HTIT has submitted a Marketing
Authorization Application to China’s regulators for the oral insulin capsule in China.

Government Regulation
The Drug Development
Process
Regulatory requirements for
the approval of new drugs vary from one country to another. In order to obtain approval to market our drug portfolio, we need to go through
a different regulatory process in each country in which we apply for such approval. In some cases, information gathered during the approval
process in one country can be used as supporting information for the approval process in another country. As a strategic decision, we
decided to first explore the FDA regulatory pathway. The following is a summary of the FDA’s requirements.
The FDA requires that pharmaceutical
and certain other therapeutic products undergo significant clinical experimentation and clinical testing prior to their marketing or
introduction to the general public. Clinical testing, known as clinical trials or clinical studies, is either conducted internally by
life science, pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies or is conducted on behalf of these companies by CROs.
The process of conducting
clinical trials is highly regulated by the FDA, as well as by other governmental and professional bodies. Below we describe the principal
framework in which clinical trials are conducted, as well as describe a number of the parties involved in these trials.
Protocols. Before commencing human clinical trials, the sponsor
of a new drug or therapeutic product must submit an IND application to the FDA. The application contains, among other documents, what
is known in the industry as a protocol. A protocol is the blueprint for each drug study. The protocol sets forth, among other things,
the following:
●
Who must be recruited as
qualified participants,
●
How often to administer
the drug or product,
●
What tests to perform on
the participants, and
●
What dosage of the drug
or amount of the product to give to the participants.
Institutional Review Board.
An institutional review board is an independent committee of professionals and lay persons which reviews clinical research trials involving
human beings and is required to adhere to guidelines issued by the FDA. The institutional review board does not report to the FDA, but
its records are audited by the FDA. Its members are not appointed by the FDA. All clinical trials must be approved by an institutional
review board. The institutional review board’s role is to protect the rights of the participants in the clinical trials. It approves
the protocols to be used, the advertisements which we or CRO conducting the study proposes to use to recruit participants, and the form
of consent which the participants will be required to sign prior to their participation in the clinical trials.
Clinical Trials. Human
clinical trials or testing of a potential product are generally done in three stages known as Phase 1 through Phase 3 testing. The names
of the phases are derived from the regulations of the FDA. Generally, there are multiple trials conducted in each phase.
Phase 1. Phase 1 trials
involve testing a drug or product on a limited number of healthy or patient participants, typically 24 to 100 people at a time. Phase
1 trials determine a product’s basic safety and how the product is absorbed by, and eliminated from, the body. This phase lasts
an average of six months to a year.
Phase 2. Phase 2
trials involve testing of no more than 300 participants at a time who may suffer from the targeted disease or condition. Phase 2
testing typically lasts an average of one to two years. In Phase 2, the drug is tested to determine its safety and effectiveness for
treating a specific illness or condition. Phase 2 testing also involves determining acceptable dosage levels of the drug. Phase 2
trials may be split into Phase 2a and Phase 2b sub-trials. Phase 2a trials may be conducted with patient volunteers and are
exploratory (non-pivotal) trials, typically designed to evaluate clinical efficacy or biological activity. Phase 2b trials are
conducted with patients defined to evaluate definite dose range and evaluate efficacy. If Phase 2 trials show that a new drug has an
acceptable range of safety risks and probable effectiveness, a company will generally continue to review the substance in Phase 3
trials.
Phase 3. Phase 3 trials
involve testing large numbers of participants, typically several hundred to several thousand persons. The purpose is to verify effectiveness
and long-term safety on a large scale. These trials generally last two to three years. Phase 3 trials are conducted at multiple locations
or sites. Like the other phases, Phase 3 requires the site to keep detailed records of data collected and procedures performed.
13
Biological License Application.
The results of the clinical trials for a biological product are submitted to the FDA as part of a Biological License Application or,
the “BLA”. Following the completion of Phase 3 trials, assuming the sponsor of a potential product in the United States believes
it has sufficient information to support the safety and effectiveness of its product, the sponsor will generally submit a BLA to the
FDA requesting that the product be approved for marketing. The application is a comprehensive, multi-volume filing that includes the
results of all clinical trials, information about the drug’s composition, and the sponsor’s plans for producing, packaging
and labeling the product. The FDA’s review of an application can take a few months to many years, with the average review lasting
18 months. Once approved, drugs and other products may be marketed in the United States, subject to any conditions imposed by the FDA.
Approval of a BLA provides 12 years of exclusivity in the U.S. market.
Phase 4. The FDA may
require that the sponsor conduct additional clinical trials following new drug approval. The purpose of these trials, known as Phase
4 trials, is to monitor long-term risks and benefits, study different dosage levels or evaluate safety and effectiveness. In recent years,
the FDA has increased its reliance on these trials. Phase 4 trials usually involve thousands of participants. Phase 4 trials also may
be initiated by us sponsoring the new drug to gain broader market value for an approved drug.
European Regulation. Similar to
the U.S., a European sponsor of a biological product may submit a Marketing Approval Application to the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”),
for the registration of the product. The approval process in Europe consists of several stages, which together are summed up to 210 days
from the time of submission of the application (net, without periods in which the sponsor provides answers to questions raised by the
agency) following which, a Marketing Approval may be granted. During the approval process, the sponsor’s manufacturing facilities
will be audited in order to assess Good Manufacturing Practice compliance.
The drug approval process
is time-consuming, involves substantial expenditures of resources, and depends upon a number of factors, including the severity of the
illness in question, the availability of alternative treatments, and the risks and benefits demonstrated in the clinical trials.
Other Regulations
Various federal, state and
local laws, regulations, and recommendations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory practices, the experimental use of animals,
the environment and the purchase, storage, movement, import, export, use, and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances,
including radioactive compounds and infectious disease agents, used in connection with our research are applicable to our activities.
They include, among others, the U.S. Atomic Energy Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act,
the National Environmental Policy Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, and Resources Conservation and Recovery Act, national restrictions
on technology transfer, import, export, and customs regulations, and other present and possible future local, state, or federal regulation.
The compliance with these and other laws, regulations and recommendations can be time-consuming and involve substantial costs. In addition,
the extent of governmental regulation which might result from future legislation or administrative action cannot be accurately predicted
and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Competition
We face intense competition in pharmaceutical
research and development from major pharmaceutical companies, specialized biotechnology firms, academic institutions, and governmental
agencies—many with substantially greater financial, technical, and marketing resources. Competition is determined by scientific
and technological capabilities, patent protection, speed to market, regulatory approval, and ability to commercialize products. These
entities also compete with us for qualified scientific personnel and consultants.
In the diabetes treatment sector specifically,
we compete against well-established and rapidly evolving therapeutic options including insulin injections, insulin pumps, oral medications
that improve insulin response or production, and the increasingly dominant GLP-1 receptor agonists (both injectable and oral formulations),
as well as lifestyle interventions. The widespread adoption of GLP-1s for diabetes and weight management represents significant competitive
pressure. First-to-market products typically hold significant competitive advantages. Our competitive position depends on our ability
to attract talent, develop effective proprietary products, obtain patent protection, and secure adequate capital. If approved, we expect
our oral insulin capsule to compete primarily on efficacy, safety, patient convenience, and patent position.
Competitors may develop superior
products or achieve greater market acceptance. There can be no assurance that our technology will not be rendered obsolete or noncompetitive,
or that we can keep pace with technological developments, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial
condition, and results of operations.
14
Employees
We believe it is imperative
to attract and retain top talent for all positions in the Company. We seek to make Oramed an inclusive, diverse and safe workplace, with
meaningful compensation, benefits and wellness programs and opportunities.
We have experienced personnel
involved in our research and development programs, as well as appropriate clinical/regulatory, quality assurance and other personnel
needed to advance through clinical trials or have engaged the services of experts in the field for these requirements. As of December
31, 2025, we have contracted with thirteen individuals for employment or consulting arrangements. Of our staff, four are senior management,
three are engaged in research and development work, and the remaining six are involved in corporate and administration work.
We provide competitive compensation,
health and retirement programs for our employees. We offer variable pay in the form of bonuses and stock-based compensation for eligible
employees. We also provide our employees with additional benefits such as team-building and educational offsite activities and gym facilities.
We believe that this provides a comprehensive package to engage, motivate and retain our employees as a cohesive unit unified in its
goal to achieve the Company’s strategy and objectives.
