On July 23, 2024, Evogene Ltd. (the “Company”) announced that it will effect a reverse share split of the Company’s
ordinary shares at the ratio of 1-for-10, such that each ten (10) ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.02 per share, shall be consolidated into one (1) ordinary share, par value NIS 0.2 per share (“ordinary shares”). The reverse share split is expected
to be implemented after the Nasdaq Capital Market closes on July 24, 2024. The first date and time at which the ordinary shares will begin trading after implementation of the reverse split will be, (i) on the Nasdaq Capital Market, at the open of
the market on July 25, 2024, and (ii) on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, at the open of the market on July 28, 2024.
Following the implementation of the reverse split, the Company’s authorized share capital will be comprised of 15
million ordinary shares, of which approximately 5,079,000 ordinary shares will be issued and outstanding.
No fractional ordinary shares will be issued as a result of the reverse split. All fractional ordinary shares will
be rounded to the nearest whole ordinary share, such that only shareholders holding fractional consolidated shares of more than half of the number of shares which
consolidation constitutes one whole share shall be entitled to receive one consolidated share. No cash will be paid with respect to any fractional shares.
The number of ordinary shares available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans will be adjusted by
the same 1-for-10 ratio. In addition, a proportionate, upwards adjustment to the per share exercise price, and a corresponding decrease to the number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise, will be made to all outstanding options entitling the
holders to purchase ordinary shares. A proportionate downwards adjustment will be made to the number of ordinary shares issuable upon settlement of outstanding Restricted Share Units.
On July 23, 2024, the Company issued a press release titled “Evogene Announces Expected Implementation of 1-for-10
Reverse Share Split,” a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 6-K.
