On April 1, 2016, Protalix BioTherapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced reincorporation in the State of Delaware. Accordingly, the Company is now subject to the General Corporation Laws of the State of Delaware.

The Company continues to possess all of the assets it possessed prior to the reincorporation, and continues to be subject to all of the same debts, liabilities and obligations. There was no change of officers or directors as a result of the reincorporation. Each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock prior to the reincorporation continues to be an outstanding share of the common stock of the Company, and each outstanding option or right to acquire shares of our common stock prior to the reincorporation continues to be an option or right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock.
