On June 19, 2024, the Tel Aviv District Court (Economic Division) dismissed the previously disclosed lawsuit and motion to approve the lawsuit as a class action lawsuit which was filed against us, our executive directors and certain of our present and former directors in February 2017 (the “2017 Motion”).

 

As previously disclosed, in the 2017 Motion the plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that we included misleading information in our public filings related to our former lead drug candidate, Consensi, which caused the class for which the plaintiffs were seeking recognition an aggregate loss of approximately NIS 29 million (approximately $7.8 million).

 

Now, the Court has issued its final decision in the 2017 Motion, whereby it fully dismissed the lawsuit against the defendants as well as the motion to approve the lawsuit as a class action lawsuit. Each party will bear its own court expenses.
