Dear Shareholder:
You are cordially invited to attend an extraordinary general meeting (the “extraordinary general meeting” or “meeting”)
of Silexion Therapeutics Corp (“Silexion”, the “Company”, “our company”, “we” or “us”), which will be held at 9:00 a.m., Eastern time/ 3:00 p.m. local (Israel) time, on _________, March __, 2026 at the offices of our external legal counsel, Meitar Law Offices, 16 Abba Hillel Road, 10th
floor, Ramat Gan, Israel 5250608. The extraordinary general meeting may also be attended virtually over the internet. You will be able to attend, and submit your questions during (but not speak at or vote at), the extraordinary general meeting
online by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/silexion/egm2026, or by calling 1-800-450-7155 (toll-free, within the U.S. and Canada) or +1 857-999-9155 (outside of the U.S. and Canada, standard rates
apply), conference ID _______#.
At the extraordinary general meeting, we will present for your approval two proposals:
Proposal 1 - Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal: An increase to the authorized share capital of the Company by 50,000,000 ordinary shares, from
US$121,500 divided into 9,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0135 each (which is our current authorized share capital), to US$796,500 divided into 59,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0135 each.
Proposal 2 - Equity Incentive Plan Evergreen Increase Proposal: An amendment to the Silexion Therapeutics Corp 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), effective as of January 1, 2026, to increase the number of ordinary shares added annually on January 1st under the “evergreen” provision of Section 5(b)(i) of the 2024 Plan from (i) 5% of the
Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares, to (ii) such number of ordinary shares as yields a pool of ordinary shares reserved under all equity incentive plans of the Company that constitutes, in the aggregate, 10% of the issued and
outstanding ordinary shares on a fully diluted basis.
We refer to the foregoing proposals as the “Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal” and the “Evergreen Increase
Proposal”, respectively. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands and, in the case of the Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal, Article 17.1.1 of our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, an ordinary resolution adopted by a
majority of our shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting (including a unanimous written resolution) is needed for approval of each proposal. Abstentions will have no effect on the
outcome of the vote on either proposal under Cayman Islands law.
The Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal is intended to enable us to maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that our company have at least $2.5 million of
shareholders’ equity under the Equity Standard of the Nasdaq Capital Market, on which our ordinary shares and warrants are listed. Our issuance of equity securities in value-enhancing transactions, whether extraordinary or ordinary-course, will
serve as the primary means by which we can effectively achieve that goal, and for that, we will need additional authorized share capital. Our Nasdaq listing is a critical asset of our company and our shareholders, as it enhances the price and
liquidity of, and the trading market for, our securities, and it is therefore in the best interest of our shareholders that we preserve it.
Beyond the purpose of maintaining our Nasdaq listing, we require the increased share capital for the basic financing needs of our operations and potential business development transactions, in
keeping with our goal of creating substantive value for our shareholders. As we navigate the upcoming critical period in the pre-clinical and clinical development of our innovative RNA interference (RNAi) therapies to treat solid tumors driven by
KRAS mutations, we will need both sufficient funding and transactional flexibility for that development process. An enhanced authorized share capital will provide us with that requisite flexibility to conduct those financings and to explore
potential business development transactions. That, in turn, can help us to advance our product candidates, as well as potential complementary assets, which together will serve as the primary means by which we can increase the value of our company
and our ordinary shares for our shareholders.
Under the current authorized share capital set forth in our Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association, we do not have any authorized unissued ordinary shares available for issuance, beyond
shares already reserved for issuance under outstanding warrants, and limited numbers of shares reserved for issuance under our equity incentive plans, the convertible promissory note held by the Moringa sponsor, and our At-the-Market (ATM)
financing program with H.C. Wainwright & Co. Absent an increase to our available share capital, we will be unable to maintain compliance with the minimal Nasdaq shareholders’ equity requirement, or with our operational goals related to value
creation. The increase to our authorized share capital by 50,000,000 ordinary shares for which we will seek approval at the meeting represents the minimum increase that is needed to enable us to maintain Nasdaq listing compliance, while
continuing to progress with our pre-clinical and clinical programs and with potential complementary business development opportunities for the creation of shareholder value, for the near-to-mid-term period.
The Evergreen Increase Proposal is aimed at ensuring that we have a sufficient number of ordinary shares available on an ongoing basis to provide equity incentives to employees, officers and
directors in amounts determined appropriate by Silexion’s compensation committee, board of directors and management. Our issued and outstanding share capital is dynamic, given the large number of financing and other transactions that we need to
effect relatively frequently to meet our basic operating needs. That, in turn, mandates that at the start of each year, we have a sufficiently large increase to the reserve under the 2024 Plan via the “evergreen” mechanism to enable us to
adequately incentivize employees, officers and directors in a customary manner that takes into account the expected increase in issued and outstanding share capital in that upcoming year. The proposed “evergreen” increase would furthermore
conform with the customary limit on dilution to shareholders from equity incentive compensation that is supported by institutional shareholder groups.
The formal notice of, and the proxy statement for, the extraordinary general meeting accompany this letter.
Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, it is important that your shares be represented and voted at the meeting. After
reading the attached formal notice and proxy statement, please promptly vote. If you are a shareholder of record, you can vote by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card or by going online to www.cstproxyvote.com
and utilizing the control number appearing on your proxy card to vote. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you can provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your
shares are represented and voted at the extraordinary general meeting, either via the enclosed voting instruction form or online— at www.proxyvote.com-- as described in the enclosed instructions.

Agenda Items
|
(1) Proposal 1 - Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal (the “Authorized Share Capital
Increase Proposal”):An increase to the Company’s authorized share capital under paragraph 5 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association by 50,000,000 ordinary shares, from US$121,500, divided into 9,000,000
ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0135 each (which is the Company’s current authorized share capital), to US$796,500, divided into 59,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0135 each.
(2) Proposal 2 - Equity Incentive Plan Evergreen Increase Proposal (the “Evergreen Increase
Proposal”): An amendment to Section 5(b)(i) of the Silexion Therapeutics Corp 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) to increase the number of ordinary shares added annually on
January 1st under the “evergreen” provision of the 2024 Plan from (i) 5% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares, to (ii) such number of additional ordinary shares as yields, following the annual increase, a pool of ordinary shares
reserved under all equity incentive plans of the Company that constitutes, in the aggregate, 10% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares on a fully diluted basis.
|
|
|
|
|
Required Majority for
Approval of Proposals
|
Under the laws of the Cayman Islands and, in the case of the Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal, Article 17.1.1 of Silexion’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association, the approval of each of the
proposals requires an ordinary resolution, adopted by the affirmative vote of shareholders holding ordinary shares amounting in the aggregate to at least a majority of the votes cast by shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in
person or by proxy at the meeting with respect to such proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered “actually cast” and are therefore not taken into consideration in determining whether a majority has been achieved for
either proposal.
|
|
Purpose of Agenda Items
|
Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal: The primary purpose of the Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal is to enable the Company to maintain compliance with
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that the Company have at least $2.5 million of shareholders’ equity on a continued basis under the Equity Standard of the Nasdaq Capital Market, on which the Company’s ordinary shares and
warrants are listed. Beyond the need to comply with the Nasdaq shareholders’ equity requirement, the Company requires an enhanced authorized share capital to pursue its ongoing operational needs related to its preclinical and clinical
development of RNA interference (RNAi) therapies, including financing activities, and potential business development opportunities for complementary assets. The Company intends to manage its enlarged authorized share capital to reinforce,
as much as possible, the price and liquidity of, and the trading market for, its traded securities. The proposed increase of 50,000,000 authorized ordinary shares is currently expected to be sufficient for the Company to maintain its
requisite shareholders’ equity level and achieve the foregoing additional objectives in the short term to mid term.
Evergreen Increase Proposal: The purpose of the Evergreen Increase Proposal is to enable the Company to attract, retain and motivate talented employees, officers,
directors and consultants through competitive equity compensation. The 2024 Plan currently includes an “evergreen” provision that automatically increases the share pool under that plan on January 1st of each year by the lesser of (i) 5%
of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares, or (ii) an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). The proposed amendment to that provision under the Evergreen Increase
Proposal would change the number of ordinary shares added annually under the foregoing clause (i) from a set percentage increase to an increase that is tied to the resulting pool size following the increase. The proposed increase would
add, annually (unless the Board decides upon a lesser increase under clause (ii)), such number of shares as would yield a total pool size under all Company equity incentive plans equal to 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
shares on a fully diluted basis as of January 1st. The proposed change to the “evergreen” increase is necessary to meet the Company’s ongoing equity compensation needs annually without requiring frequent shareholder approvals for
additional one-time increases, which would be wasteful of company resources. The proposed maximum size annual increase is furthermore consistent with market practice and the recommended limit for equity incentive- related dilution that
is espoused by institutional shareholder groups.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS

Q. Why am I receiving these materials?
A. Our Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the extraordinary general meeting of Silexion, including at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. The extraordinary general meeting
will be held at 9:00 a.m., Eastern time/ 3:00 p.m. local (Israel) time, on _______, March __ 2026 at the offices of our external legal counsel, Meitar Law Offices, 16 Abba Hillel Road, 10th floor, Ramat Gan, Israel 5250608, as well as
virtually. You are invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting via live audio webcast, although you will be unable to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement in person at the meeting if you attend in that manner. You
do not need to attend the meeting in person to vote your shares, however. Instead, you may follow the instructions below to submit your proxy or voting instructions via a physical proxy card or voting instruction form, or via the Internet. Shareholders are encouraged to vote, or to submit voting instructions to their bank, broker or other nominee, by Internet as early as possible in advance of the extraordinary general meeting to
avoid processing delays.
Q. Why are you holding the extraordinary general meeting?
A. We are holding the extraordinary general meeting in order to obtain our shareholders’ approval for two proposals:
Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal: An increase to the authorized share capital of the Company by 50,000,000 ordinary shares (as set forth in
paragraph 5 of our Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association (the “Memorandum of Association”)) from US$121,500 divided into 9,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0135 each (which is our
current authorized share capital), to US$796,500 divided into 59,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0135 each. We refer to the foregoing proposed increase as the “Authorized Share Capital Increase
Proposal” or “Proposal 1”.
Equity Incentive Plan Evergreen Increase Proposal: An amendment to Section 5(b)(i) of the Silexion Therapeutics Corp 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) that increases the maximum amount by which the number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the 2024 Plan increases automatically under the “evergreen” provision from 5% of the Company’s
issued and outstanding ordinary shares as of January 1st of each year, to such number of additional ordinary shares as yields, following the annual increase, a pool of ordinary shares reserved under all equity incentive plans of the Company
that constitutes, in the aggregate, 10% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares on a fully diluted basis (unless a lesser increase is set by the Board for the relevant upcoming year). We refer to the foregoing proposed amendment to the
2024 Plan as the “Evergreen Increase Proposal” or “Proposal 2”.
Q. Why are you seeking approval for an increase in the Company’s authorized share capital at the extraordinary general meeting?
A. The increase in authorized share capital that we are proposing pursuant to the Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal is needed to enable us to
both (i) preserve our current listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and (ii) fund vital working capital for our operations that will further the pre-clinical and clinical development of our innovative RNA interference (RNAi) therapies and,
potentially, pursue business development transactions for complementary assets.
We are required to maintain at least $2.5 million of shareholders’ equity on an ongoing basis under the Equity Standard of the Nasdaq Capital Market, on which our ordinary shares and warrants
are listed. Our issuance of equity securities in value-enhancing transactions, whether extraordinary or ordinary-course, will serve as the primary means by which we can effectively achieve that goal, and for that, we will need additional
authorized share capital.
Beyond the purpose of maintaining our Nasdaq listing, we require increased share capital for the basic financing needs of our operations and, potentially, for business development transactions,
in keeping with our goal of creating substantive value for our shareholders. As we navigate the upcoming critical period in the pre-clinical and clinical development of our RNAi therapies to treat solid tumors driven by KRAS mutations, we will
need both sufficient funding and transactional flexibility for that development process. An enhanced authorized share capital will enable us to effect basic financing activities and will furthermore provide us with the requisite flexibility to
potentially pursue value-enhancing business development opportunities related to complementary assets. Those activities and opportunities can, in turn, help us to advance our product candidates and, potentially, complementary product candidates,
whereby we can increase the value of our company and our ordinary shares for our shareholders.
Under our Memorandum of Association, we do not currently have any available, unissued authorized share capital, beyond what we have reserved for issuance under pre-existing commitments. Our lack of
available, unissued share capital prevents us from executing upon our intended maintenance of compliance with the $2.5 million minimal Nasdaq shareholders’ equity level, and with our operational goals of value creation via our pre-clinical and
clinical siRNA development programs. The proposed increase of 50,000,000 additional authorized ordinary shares for which we seek approval at the meeting represents the estimated minimum level needed to enable us to maintain Nasdaq listing
compliance, while continuing to progress with our pre-clinical and clinical programs, and potential complementary opportunities, for the creation of shareholder value, in the upcoming near-term to mid-term periods. Even for the above-listed
commitments for which we have allocated ordinary shares, we cannot maximize the potential benefits from them or ensure our compliance with related requirements without additional share capital to be added to the reserves for them. For example, we
cannot maximize the $13,170,000 of potential financing for our company that is available under the At-The-Market offering program that we have in place with H.C. Wainwright & Co. (“H.C. Wainwright”)
(the “ATM”), and we cannot grant any basic incentive awards to our employees, officers and directors under the 2024 Plan from the evergreen increase of the pool under that plan as of January 1, 2026
(regardless of whether the Evergreen Increase Proposal is adopted at the meeting) without actual additional authorized share capital to allocate for those purposes. Similarly, the existing number of ordinary shares that we have allocated for
conversion of amounts owed under the convertible promissory note that we issued to the sponsor of Moringa Acquisition Corp (which was one of the companies with which we combined in the business combination transaction that was completed in August
2024) (the “Moringa sponsor promissory note”) may not be enough to enable us to completely repay and retire that note (as the value of shares that we issue in conversion of amounts due under that note
depends on fluctuations in our share price in market trading or financing transactions).
In order to effect the increase in our authorized share capital, Article 17.1.1 of our Amended and Restated Articles of Association (the “Articles”) and
Cayman Islands law mandate that our shareholders adopt an ordinary resolution, which requires us to hold the extraordinary general meeting (see the question below “What majorities are needed for approval of the
proposals, and how are votes counted?”).
Q. Why are you seeking approval for an increase to the number of ordinary shares added automatically to the pool of ordinary shares annually under the “evergreen” provision of
the 2024 Plan?
A. The increase to the number of ordinary shares added annually to the pool for the 2024 Plan under the “evergreen” provision pursuant to the Evergreen
Increase Proposal is needed to enable us to attract, retain and motivate talented employees, officers, directors and consultants who are critical to our success in the highly competitive biotechnology industry. It will provide us with the
flexibility to make competitive equity grants that align the interests of our key personnel with those of our shareholders, while supporting our long-term growth and the advancement of our RNAi therapies.
Equity compensation is a vital component of our overall compensation strategy. The 2024 Plan currently includes an evergreen provision that automatically increases the share pool on January 1st
of each year by the lesser of (i) 5% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, or (ii) an amount determined by the Board. While our shareholders approved a one-time increase to the share pool for the 2024 Plan at our July 2025 annual
general meeting, which enabled us to grant equity to our unaffiliated directors in 2025, that was a one-time increase that does not cover our ongoing equity incentive needs. Our proposed adjustment to the “evergreen” provision under the 2024
Plan, on the other hand, will support our equity compensation program on a recurring, reliable basis, at annual intervals. The proposed increase to the annual evergreen provision under the Evergreen Increase Proposal will yield, annually
(unless our Board decides upon a lesser increase in a given year), a total pool that constitutes, in the aggregate, 10% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares on a fully diluted basis as of every January 1.
The proposed amendment to the evergreen provision will support our ongoing equity compensation requirements without the need for frequent shareholder meetings for additional one-time increases to
our equity incentive share pool, which would be wasteful of company resources. The current level— 5% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares as of each January 1st— is insufficient because our issued and outstanding share capital is
dynamic and grows rapidly over the course of each year, given the large number of financing and other transactions that we need to effect relatively frequently to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq shareholders’ equity requirement and meet our
basic operating needs. That, in turn, mandates that at the start of each year, we have a sufficiently large increase to the reserve under the 2024 Plan via the evergreen mechanism to enable us to adequately incentivize employees, officers and
directors in a customary manner that takes into account the expected increase in issued and outstanding share capital in that upcoming year.
The proposed change to the maximum size of the annual “evergreen” increase under the 2024 Plan will furthermore ensure that the total number of ordinary shares reserved under our equity
incentive plans will always conform to the limit of 10% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, on a fully diluted basis, which is consistent with recommended
market practices and with the limit espoused by institutional shareholder groups.
Because the increase to the number of ordinary shares covered by the evergreen provision involves a material amendment to the 2024 Plan, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) requires that we seek our
shareholders’ approval for such an amendment, and we therefore plan to do so at the extraordinary general meeting (see the question below “What majorities are needed for approval of the proposals, and how are
votes counted?”).
Q. Will the increase to Silexion’s authorized share capital lead to a dilution of my holdings in Silexion and a reduction in the price of Silexion’s ordinary shares?
A. The increase in authorized share capital to be effected pursuant to Proposal 1 will not, in and of itself, involve the issuance of any additional
securities by our company, and, therefore, will not cause any dilution to your percentage holdings in Silexion. However, once we have an enhanced authorized share capital, the transactions that we will enter into in order to raise, and maintain,
our shareholders’ equity level in compliance with the $2.5 million minimum shareholders’ equity requirement prescribed by the Equity Standard of the Nasdaq Capital Market, will involve the issuance of a significant number of ordinary shares.
That, in turn, could result in a drop in the trading price per share of our ordinary shares. Please see the risks related to our prospective increased authorized share capital under “Risk Factors Related to the
Proposals— Risk Factors Related to the Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal ” below in this proxy statement. Nevertheless, we intend to be as selective as possible before issuing share capital, to ensure that the terms of
transactions in which we issue shares are consistent with our strategic goal of supporting value enhancement for our shareholders and buttressing the price of our ordinary shares. We will carefully manage our enhanced authorized share capital to
support and reinforce, as much as possible, the price and liquidity of, and the trading market for, our traded securities.
It is furthermore important to keep in mind that our Nasdaq listing is a critical asset of our company and our shareholders, as it enhances the price and liquidity of, and the trading market
for, our securities, and it is therefore in the best interest of our shareholders that we preserve it. It is therefore extremely important that we achieve and maintain compliance with the $2.5 million minimum shareholders’ equity requirement for
continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which requires, as a prerequisite, that we enhance our authorized share capital that can be utilized towards that goal.
Q. Will the increased size of the proposed annual evergreen increase under the 2024 Plan lead to dilution of my holdings in Silexion?
A. The increased size of the maximum annual evergreen increase under the 2024 Plan pursuant to Proposal 2 will increase, more substantially, the number
of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the 2024 Plan than under the current evergreen provision. That greater increase could result in dilution to existing shareholders if and when equity awards are granted and exercised or vest.
However, we believe that equity compensation is essential to attract and retain the talent necessary to execute our business strategy and create long-term shareholder value. Our compensation committee and Board carefully review and approve all
equity grants to ensure they are appropriate and aligned with shareholder interests, such that any dilution from those grants will be as minimal as possible. Please see the risks related to the evergreen increase under “Risk Factors Related to the Proposals— Risk Factor Related to the Evergreen Increase Proposal” below in this proxy statement.
Q. Will there be any other items of business on the agenda?
A. Other than the Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal and the Evergreen Increase Proposal, there are no other agenda items that we plan to present
at the extraordinary general meeting.
Q. Who is entitled to vote?
A. Shareholders of record at the close of business on the record date, _______, February __, 2026 (the “record date”),
may vote at the extraordinary general meeting. In addition, shareholders holding ordinary shares beneficially (in “street name”) (as described in response to the next question) as of the record date may instruct the record holder through which
the shares are held how to vote their shares at the extraordinary general meeting. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote on each proposal for each ordinary share held— whether of record or beneficially— as of the record date. As of the close
of business on the record date (________, February __, 2026), there were [ ] of our ordinary shares outstanding.
Q. What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
A. Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent,
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), you are considered, with respect to those shares, a shareholder of record. The notice of the meeting (along with the cover letter and this
proxy statement) have been sent directly to you by us.
Beneficial Owner. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in
“street name”. The notice of the meeting (along with the cover letter and this proxy statement) have been forwarded to you by your broker, bank, or nominee, which is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record.
Q. How do I vote?
A. You may vote through any of the following methods:
By Internet - Shareholders of record may submit proxies prior to the extraordinary general meeting by going online to www.cstproxyvote.com
and utilizing the control number appearing on their proxy cards, in accordance with the Internet voting instructions on the proxy cards. Most shareholders who hold shares beneficially in street name may provide voting instructions by accessing
the website specified on the voting instruction form provided by their brokers, banks or nominees (in most cases, www.proxyvote.com).
By Mail - Shareholders of record may submit a hard copy of the proxy card that was included with this proxy statement that was mailed
to them (assuming that they received a hard copy of this proxy statement and the proxy card) by completing, signing and dating the proxy card and returning it in the prepaid envelope enclosed with the proxy card. Please sign your name exactly as
it appears on the proxy card. If you return your signed proxy card but do not indicate your voting preferences, your shares will be voted on your behalf “FOR” both proposals. Shareholders who hold ordinary shares beneficially in street name may
provide voting instructions by mail by completing, signing, dating and mailing, in the enclosed prepaid envelope, the voting instruction form provided to them by their brokers, banks or other nominees (assuming that they received a hard copy of
the voting instruction form).
In Person - Shareholders of record who attend the extraordinary general meeting in person may vote at the extraordinary general
meeting, in which case any votes that they have previously submitted (via either of the above-described methods for voting) will be superseded by the vote that they cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Any such shareholder of record needs
to bring proof of ownership of his, her or its ordinary shares (such as a statement showing book-entry shares) as of the record date for the meeting. Shares held beneficially in street name may be voted in person at the meeting only if the
beneficial owner brings the requisite documentation, namely: (i) proof that he, she or it owned the shares in a brokerage, trustee or nominee account as of the record date (such as a brokerage account statement), and (ii) a legal proxy from the
broker, trustee or nominee that owns the shares of record giving the beneficial owner the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the meeting in person, we recommend that you also vote via the internet, or submit your proxy card or
voting instruction form, as described above, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting.
Please note that shares held in your name as a shareholder of record or shares owned by you beneficially may not be voted while you attend the extraordinary
general meeting virtually. You will be able to listen to the proceedings at the meeting via virtual attendance, and you will be able to submit a question to the parties at the meeting virtually. However, you will not be able to speak at
the meeting or to submit your vote via virtual attendance. To attend the meeting virtually, please go to https://www.cstproxy.com/ silexion/egm2026.
Even if you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting in person and vote at the meeting, we recommend that you also vote or submit your voting
instructions via the Internet, or via the mail, prior to the meeting so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting in person.
Q. Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
A. You may change your vote or revoke your proxy or voting instructions at any time prior to the deadline for voting or submitting voting instructions
prior to the extraordinary general meeting. If you submitted your proxy or voting instructions by Internet, you may change your vote or voting instructions, or revoke your proxy or voting instructions by entering the relevant Internet site and
submitting a later-dated Internet proxy or later-dated voting instructions.
If you are a shareholder of record and submitted your proxy by mail, you must file with the Secretary of the Company a written notice of revocation or deliver, prior to the vote at the
extraordinary general meeting, a valid, later-dated proxy card. Attendance at the extraordinary general meeting will not have the effect of revoking a proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Secretary before the proxy is
exercised, or you vote in person at the extraordinary general meeting.
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you wish to change or revoke your voting instructions previously submitted to your broker, bank or other nominee in person at the
meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy through your broker, bank or nominee and present it to the tabulation agent in advance of the extraordinary general meeting. Please consult the voting instructions provided to you by your broker, bank or
other nominee or please contact your broker, bank or nominee for more information.
Q. What majorities are needed for approval of the proposals, and how are votes counted?
A. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands and Article 17.1.1 of the Articles, the approval of the increase in our authorized share capital under our
Memorandum of Association pursuant to the Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal requires the affirmative vote of an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by an ordinary majority of our shareholders as, being
entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting, and includes a unanimous written resolution.
Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c), we are required to obtain our shareholders’ approval of the increase to the percentage of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares that is covered by the
evergreen provision pursuant to the Evergreen Increase Proposal, since that increase involves a material amendment to the 2024 Plan. Because there is no special majority required for that approval under Cayman Islands law, by default, an ordinary
resolution will suffice for approval, which is a resolution passed by an ordinary majority of our shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting, and includes a unanimous written
resolution.
Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on either proposal under Cayman Islands law.
If you provide your vote or voting instructions on either proposal, your shares will be voted as you instruct. If you are a shareholder of record and sign your proxy card but do not indicate a
vote on either proposal, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of our Board with respect to the relevant proposal (i.e., “FOR” the Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal and/or the Evergreen Increase Proposal).
If you hold shares beneficially in street name and do not provide your broker or other nominee with voting instructions on either of the two proposals, your shares will be subject to a “broker
non-vote” on the subject proposal. Generally, a broker non-vote occurs on a matter when a broker or nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner, and instructions are not
given. A broker or nominee would have discretion to vote on its own without instructions from the underlying beneficial owner when a proposal is considered “routine” under the rules governing brokers and nominees. Because neither of the proposals
to be presented at the meeting is considered “routine”, if you do not provide instructions on either such proposal, your broker or other nominee will not vote your shares, which will result in a broker non-vote with respect to your shares on the
relevant proposal. In tabulating the voting results, shares for which there has been a broker non-vote are considered shares for which a vote has not been cast. Because the majority required for the approval of each proposal at the meeting only
considers votes cast in favor or against the proposal, a broker non-vote will not affect the outcome of the vote on the subject proposal (assuming that a quorum is obtained generally for the meeting).
The table below summarizes the vote required to approve each proposal to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting, the Board’s recommendation as to how to vote, and the impact of
abstentions and broker non-votes on the tally of votes:

Q. What constitutes a quorum?
A. The presence in person or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares outstanding on the record date (______, February __, 2026) will
constitute a quorum. As of the close of business on that date, there were _________ ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Under Article
21.3 of the Articles, to the extent there is no quorum present within half an hour from the time designated for the meeting to commence, the meeting will be adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time, i.e., ______, March __,
2026 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time (US)/ 3:00 p.m. local (Israeli) time, and at the same location, or to such other day, time or place as the Board may determine. If at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time
designated for the meeting to commence, the shareholders present (regardless of how many) shall be considered a quorum, and we may proceed to present, and conduct a vote on, the proposals.
Q. How are proxies solicited?
A. Our employees, officers and directors may solicit proxies. We will pay the cost of printing and mailing proxy materials, and will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and
fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy material to the owners of our ordinary shares.
Q. Why are we holding the extraordinary general meeting also in virtual format?
A. The extraordinary general meeting will be held in primary part in person, but we will also enable shareholders to attend via a virtual meeting format, whereby our shareholders will be able to
listen to the proceedings and raise questions to the officers of the Company who are present in person, via a live audio webcast. Shareholders will not be able to vote via the virtual meeting format, however.
We believe that the virtual meeting format will expand shareholder access and participation.
Q. How can I attend the extraordinary general meeting in person or virtually?
A. The extraordinary general meeting will be held at the offices of our external legal counsel, Meitar Law Offices, 16 Abba Hillel Road, 10th floor, Ramat Gan, Israel 5250608. The extraordinary
general meeting may also be attended virtually over the internet, by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/silexion/egm2026 or via telephone, by calling 1 800-450-7155 (toll-free, within the U.S. and
Canada) or +1 857-999-9155 (outside of the U.S. and Canada, standard rates apply), conference ID ______#, whereby our shareholders will be able to listen to, and submit questions during (but not vote at), the meeting. The extraordinary general
meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m., Eastern time (US)/ 3:00 p.m. local (Israel) time, on _____, March __, 2026. We encourage you to access the virtual meeting website prior to the start time.
PROPOSAL 1— AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL INCREASE PROPOSAL
Background
Uses for Increased Authorized Share Capital
Compliance with Nasdaq Shareholders’ Equity Requirement
Since the completion of the business combination transaction whereby Silexion became a public company by combining with Moringa Acquisition Corp (“Moringa”),
our listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market has been a strategic asset of our company and our shareholders, as it enables us to access capital with greater ease and furthermore enhances the price and liquidity of, and the trading market for, our
securities. We therefore believe that it is in the best interest of our company and our shareholders that we preserve it.
Our shareholders’ equity was approximately $7.0 million as of September 30, 2025. We are required to maintain at least $2.5 million of shareholders’ equity on an ongoing basis under the Equity
Standard of the Nasdaq Capital Market, on which our ordinary shares and warrants are listed. Our issuance of equity securities in value-enhancing transactions, whether extraordinary or ordinary-course, will serve as the primary means by which
we can effectively achieve that goal, and for that, we will need additional authorized share capital.
Ordinary Operational Needs
Besides increasing our shareholders’ equity and thereby enabling us to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing standards, our prospective issuance of additional ordinary shares from
increased authorized share capital is needed more generally to support our ongoing operations as a clinical-stage company pursuing the development of our SIL204 product candidate. Besides issuing additional ordinary shares in prospective
financing transactions (expected types of financing transactions are described under “Financing Our Operations” below), we may also issue shares in other types of value-enhancing transactions that support
our company’s growth. Those transactions may include, for example:
|
• |
potential acquisitions of assets (for example, additional product candidates) that are complementary to our RNAi therapies to treat solid tumors driven by KRAS mutations, in which the consideration with which we pay are newly-issued
ordinary shares;
|
|
• |
conversion of remaining outstanding amounts under the Moringa sponsor promissory note (under which $1,633,000 remains outstanding currently) into newly issued ordinary shares in connection with financing transactions, which would
eliminate our debt and increase our shareholders’ equity; and
|
|
• |
issuance of shares upon vesting and/or exercise of equity awards under our equity incentive plans, including the 2024 Plan, which serves the purpose of incentivizing officers, other employees, and directors, and for which we will seek
to increase the pool of shares made available annually by way of the Evergreen Increase Proposal.
|
Financing Our Operations
Among operations-related uses for additional authorized share capital, the issuance and sale of ordinary shares and/or ordinary share-based equity securities (such as pre-funded warrants or
ordinary warrants) in financing transactions is perhaps the most essential use, as it enables us to progress with our pre-clinical and clinical development program for SIL204. We expect that in the near-term to mid-term future, our financing
transactions may consist of ordinary course and extraordinary financing transactions, including some or all of the following types of transactions:
|
• |
Ongoing sales of newly issued ordinary shares under our ATM via H.C. Wainwright, pursuant to which up to $13.17 million may be issued and sold under our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (SEC file number 333-290544) and related
prospectus supplement;
|
|
• |
Potential follow-on public offerings of ordinary shares, pre-funded warrants and, to the extent necessary, ordinary warrants, that are similar to the public offerings that we completed on January 17, 2025 and September 12, 2025, in
which we raised $5.0 million and $6.0 million of gross proceeds, respectively; and
|
|
• |
Exercises of warrants, whether currently outstanding or to be issued in future public offerings or private placements, including induced warrant exercise transactions similar to those that we completed on January 30, 2025 and August 1,
2025, which raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for our company;
|
Depletion of Remaining Authorized, Available Share Capital
While the above-described needs for authorized share capital are plentiful, our current remaining reserves of available share capital have been exhausted for existing commitments. Out of the
9,000,000 current authorized ordinary shares, 3,126,651 shares are issued and outstanding, and all 5,873,349 remaining authorized (but unissued) shares have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the following commitments, for which we have
allocated the following respective aggregate numbers of ordinary shares (as of December 31, 2025):
|
• |
3,098,636 ordinary shares underlying all of our outstanding warrants (which includes both our publicly-held warrants that are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market and the warrants we have issued in various financing transactions for
which H.C. Wainwright & Co. (“H.C. Wainwright”) has acted as placement agent;
|
|
• |
96,798 ordinary shares reserved for issuance under our equity incentive plans, consisting of 95,219 ordinary shares currently issuable under the 2024 Plan (prior to the adoption of the Evergreen Increase Proposal and prior to the
increase to the pool of ordinary shares on January 1, 2026 under the “evergreen” provision of the 2024 Plan) and an additional 1,579 ordinary shares issuable under our 2013 Share Option Plan;
|
|
• |
474,709 ordinary shares issuable under the Moringa sponsor promissory note; and
|
|
• |
2,203,206 ordinary shares currently reserved for issuance under our ATM with H.C. Wainwright, whereby we may issue new ordinary shares and raise funds on an ongoing basis under our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (SEC file
number 333-290544) and related prospectus supplement.

The number of ordinary shares required to be reserved for issuance under the ATM in order to maximize the $13,170,000 of potential financing that is available to our company under the ATM significantly
exceeds the 2,203,206 ordinary shares currently reserved. We reserved that number of ordinary shares because that was the remaining available number of unreserved, unissued ordinary shares under the Memorandum of Association when we
activated the ATM with H.C. Wainwright at the start of December 2025.
|
| |
(2)
|
Because the number of shares underlying the Moringa sponsor promissory note depends on fluctuating market prices or prices per share in potential financing transactions at which we may convert outstanding
amounts owed under the note, we are unable to estimate the actual number of shares that we will actually need to issue for conversion of all remaining outstanding amounts under that note. The 474,709 ordinary shares reserved for issuance
under the note that appears in the table merely reflects the maximum number of ordinary shares currently available to us for this purpose given the limitations as to our unreserved, unissued ordinary shares under the Memorandum of
Association.
|
Our lack of available, unissued share capital prevents us from executing upon our intended maintenance of compliance with the $2.5 million minimal Nasdaq shareholders’ equity level, and with our
operational goals of value creation via our pre-clinical and clinical siRNA development programs. The Board believes that the proposed increase of 50,000,000 additional authorized ordinary shares for which we seek approval at the meeting
represents the estimated minimum level needed to enable us to maintain Nasdaq listing compliance, while continuing to progress with our pre-clinical and clinical programs, and potential complementary opportunities, for the creation of shareholder
value in the upcoming near-term to mid-term periods. Even for the above-listed commitments for which we have allocated ordinary shares, we cannot maximize the potential benefits from them or ensure our compliance with related requirements without
additional share capital to be added to the reserves for them. In particular, we cannot maximize the $13,170,000 of potential financing for our company that is available under the ATM, and we cannot grant any basic incentive awards to our
employees, officers and directors under the 2024 Plan from the evergreen increase of the pool under that plan as of January 1, 2026 (regardless of whether the Evergreen Increase Proposal is adopted at the meeting) without actual additional
authorized share capital to allocate for those purposes. Similarly, the 474,709 ordinary shares that we have allocated for conversion of amounts owed under the Moringa sponsor promissory note may not be enough to enable us to completely repay and
retire that note (depending on our share price at which market trading occurs or financing transactions are completed by us).
Board Approval and Recommendation to Shareholders
Our Board approved, at its February 12, 2026 meeting, a proposed increase to our authorized share capital by 50,000,000 ordinary shares, as reflected in paragraph 5 of our Memorandum of
Association, from US$121,500 divided into 9,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0135 each, to US$796,500 divided into 59,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0135 each. The proposed amendment to the text of paragraph 5 of
our Memorandum of Association is set forth in Annex B to this proxy statement. Under Article 17.1.1 of the Articles, the proposed increase to our authorized share capital requires approval by our shareholders via an ordinary resolution,
and our Board therefore also approved the convening of the extraordinary general meeting promptly, to seek approval for that increase.
If the Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal is approved at the extraordinary general meeting, the Board intends to carefully manage the use of the increased authorized share capital with a
view toward minimizing unnecessary dilution to existing shareholders, while balancing the Company’s capital needs in light of prevailing market conditions.
If this proposal is not approved by Silexion’s shareholders, we will not have enough ordinary shares available to achieve the goal of maintaining our
compliance with the Nasdaq shareholders’ equity requirement, and may be subject to the delisting of our ordinary shares and warrants.
Effect on Outstanding Ordinary Shares
Approval of this proposal and the potential future issuance of any additional ordinary shares would not, in and of itself, affect the rights of the holders of our currently issued ordinary
shares, except for, with respect to the issuance of additional ordinary shares, effects incidental to increasing the number of ordinary shares in issue, such as dilution of the earnings or loss per ordinary share (if any) and voting rights of
current holders of ordinary shares. Please see the risks related to our prospective increased authorized share capital under “Risk Factors Related to the Proposals— Risk Factors Related to Authorized Share
Capital Increase Proposal” below in this proxy statement.
Proposed Resolution
At the extraordinary general meeting, our Board will present to our shareholders the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the authorized share capital of the Company be increased as follows:
from US$121,500 divided into 9,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0135 each,
to US$796,500 divided into 59,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0135 each
as set forth in Annex B to the proxy statement with respect to the extraordinary general meeting of the Company scheduled to be held on March _,
2026.”
Vote Required for Approval
Under Article 17.1.1 of our Articles, the approval of the Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal requires the affirmative vote of an ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by an
ordinary majority of Silexion’s shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting, and includes a unanimous written resolution.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the proposed increase to the authorized share capital of the Company pursuant to the Authorized Share Capital
Increase Proposal.
PROPOSAL 2— EVERGREEN INCREASE PROPOSAL
Background
The Board believes it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to ensure that the Company has sufficient shares reserved for providing equity incentive grants to officers,
other employees, directors, and consultants in amounts determined appropriate by the compensation committee of the Board, and the Board. Equity compensation aligns the interests of the Company’s employees (including officers), directors and
consultants with those of our shareholders and supports the appreciation of the value of the Company’s share capital.
To grant equity incentive compensation, the Company needs a sufficiently large pool of ordinary shares (the “Share Pool”) available for issuance under the
2024 Plan, which is our currently active equity incentive plan under which new grants may be awarded. The 2024 Plan currently provides for automatic annual increases of the Share Pool (the “evergreen provision”)
by such number of shares as is equal to 5% of the number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding on January 1st of the relevant year, or such lesser annual increase as may be approved by the Board.
Rationale for Proposed Amendment to Evergreen Provision
Following our July 2025 annual general meeting, at which shareholders approved a one-time increase to the Share Pool under the 2024 Plan, the Board further evaluated our long-term equity
compensation needs in light of (i) the significant equity issuances to which we are committed and/or expect to pursue for Nasdaq compliance purposes and our operational needs, as described in Proposal 1, and (ii) the competitive market for
biotechnology talent.
Based on that evaluation, the Board determined that it is advisable to change the yardstick by which increases are effected under the evergreen provision. The current evergreen provision utilizes
an absolute annual increase— such number of shares as equals 5% of our issued and outstanding shares— regardless of what the resulting share pool will be under our equity incentive plans. That may or
may not meet our needs for any given year, depending on what changes are expected to our issued share capital in that year. By contrast, the Board suggests tan amended evergreen provision that will implement a relative
annual increase, which will take into account the size of the existing pool of shares under our equity incentive plans as of January 1 of the relevant year, and will supplement the pool merely to the extent necessary to arrive at an ideal-sized
pool— 10% of our issued and outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis. The calculation of fully diluted share capital will follow customary practice and will include shares reserved under our equity incentive plans and shares underlying
outstanding warrants, but not shares potentially issuable under other commitments or arrangements, such as upon conversion of outstanding amounts under the Moringa sponsor convertible promissory note or under our ongoing At-The-Market (“ATM”) offering.
The proposed change to the evergreen provision is necessary to meet our ongoing equity compensation needs for retention of our human talent, without requiring frequent shareholder approvals for
additional one-time increases to the Share Pool, which would be wasteful of company resources. As we issue additional shares pursuant to financing and business development transactions, among other purposes (as described in the “Background” to Proposal 1), maintaining competitive equity compensation as a percentage of our outstanding shares will require a larger annual evergreen increase.
By way of illustration, based on our current 3,126,651 outstanding ordinary shares as of January 1, 2026 (prior to any increase to the Share Pool as of that date based on the evergreen
provision) and the 96,798 ordinary shares currently reserved, in the aggregate, under all of our equity incentive plans (of which 95,219 ordinary shares are reserved under the 2024 Plan), a 5% evergreen provision under the 2024 Plan, as
currently provided, would add approximately 156,333 additional ordinary shares to the Share Pool on January 1, 2026. By comparison, the proposed evergreen provision that would result in a total pool of ordinary shares under all equity
incentive plans equal to 10% of our issued and outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis would instead add 594,900 ordinary shares under the 2024 Plan. All together, the total number of shares reserved for issuance under our equity
incentive plans after that increase (253,131 if there is a 5% evergreen provision or 691,698 under the proposed alternate evergreen provision) would constitute 3.9% or 10.0% of our issued and outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis
(counting for purposes of the fully diluted share number, shares underlying issued and outstanding warrants, and shares reserved for issuance under our equity incentive plans, but excluding shares issuable under the ATM or upon conversion
of outstanding amounts under the Moringa sponsor convertible promissory note, since those numbers of underlying shares are not determinable with certainty and are also not includable based on the approach espoused by institutional
shareholder groups). As a result of our implementation of the proposed change, the share pool under our equity incentive plans would afford us the requisite flexibility to adequately incentivize our human capital while at the same time not
exceeding the 10% dilution level (of the fully-diluted share capital) recommended by institutional shareholder groups such as Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis.
If the number of our outstanding ordinary shares were to increase by 75% of its current amount by the middle of 2026, to 5,471,639 shares (as may be anticipated due to potential financings and
conversions of amounts under the Moringa sponsor convertible promissory note, as described in Proposal 1), and assuming the number of fully diluted ordinary shares also increases by that same absolute number of shares, the number of reserved
shares under our equity incentive plans would drop to only 2.9% (under the 5% evergreen provision) or 7.5% (under the proposed alternate evergreen provision) of our issued and outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis. In either case, the
resulting number of shares reserved for issuance under our equity incentive plans would remain below the recommended limit, but at least the proposed evergreen provision would preserve a reasonable level of equity as an incentive for our
employees (including officers), directors and consultants.
Therefore, while the proposed evergreen increase seems ostensibly high compared to the increase under the current evergreen provision, the relatively large number of shares underlying outstanding
warrants, together with shares issuable under the ATM or upon conversion of the Moringa sponsor convertible promissory note, reduce the relative significance of the proposed equity to be reserved for our employees (including officers),
directors and consultants within the context of our fully diluted share capital. The Board believes that the proposed alternate evergreen provision is necessary to retain our company’s human talent at this critical stage of our development and
support our long-term growth and the advancement of our RNAi therapies, especially given the competitive landscape in the biotechnology sector. The compensation committee of the Board, and the Board, will exercise careful judgment in utilizing
the increased capacity under the Share Pool, focusing on competitive grants that serve specific performance objectives while minimizing unnecessary dilution, thereby aligning the interests of our key personnel with those of our shareholders.
Implementation of Evergreen Increase
If this Proposal 2 is approved by our shareholders at the meeting, the change to the evergreen provision will be effective as of January 1, 2026, and will result in an immediate increase of
594,900 ordinary shares to the Share Pool under the 2024 Plan, yielding a total number of reserved shares under all of our equity incentive plans equal to 10% of our issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis as of that
date. In future years, the evergreen provision will continue to add shares to the Share Pool annually on January 1st such that the total number of ordinary shares reserved under our equity incentive plans following each such increase will
constitute 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares on a fully-diluted basis, unless the Board determines to approve a lesser increase for any particular year.
The increase to the evergreen provision requires an amendment to Section 5(b)(i) of the 2024 Plan, such that the words “5% of the number of Shares issued and outstanding on such January 1st date”
will be replaced with the words “such number of Shares as yields a total pool of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and the Company’s prior equity incentive plans equal to 10% of the number of Shares issued and outstanding, on a
fully-diluted basis, on such January 1st date.” The proposed amendment to the text of Section 5(b)(i) of the 2024 Plan is set forth in Annex C to this proxy statement.
Proposed Resolution
At the extraordinary general meeting, our Board will present to our shareholders the following resolution pursuant to this Proposal 2:
“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that effective as of January 1, 2026, Section 5(b)(i) of the Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan be, and hereby is, amended, such that the words “5% of the
number of Shares issued and outstanding on such January 1st date” shall be replaced with the words “such number of Shares as yields a total pool of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and the Company’s prior equity incentive plans equal
to 10% of the number of Shares issued and outstanding, on a fully diluted basis, on such January 1st date,”
as set forth in Annex C to the proxy statement with respect to the extraordinary general meeting of the Company scheduled to be held on March _, 2026.”
Vote Required for Approval
Under the laws of the Cayman Islands and our Articles, the approval of the Evergreen Increase Proposal requires the affirmative vote of an ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by an
ordinary majority of Silexion’s shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting, and includes a unanimous written resolution.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the proposed increase to the evergreen provision under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to the Evergreen Increase
Proposal.
RISK FACTORS
RELATED TO THE PROPOSALS
The approval of the Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal and the Evergreen Increase Proposal would be accompanied by the following attendant risks (among other potential risks):
Risk Factors Related to the Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal
As a result of the proposed increase to our authorized share capital, a substantial additional number of our ordinary shares may be issued pursuant to various transactions,
which could cause (i) the price of the ordinary shares to decline, and (ii) substantial dilution to our existing shareholders.
If the Authorized Share Capital Increase Proposal is approved, the number of ordinary shares authorized for issuance under our Memorandum of Association will increase immediately by 50,000,000
ordinary shares, to 59,000,000 ordinary shares, which represents an increase of 556% relative to our existing number of authorized ordinary shares.
This proposed increase is expected to be utilized for the issuance of a significant number of ordinary shares in various types of transactions. Such transactions are expected to include, without
limitation: public offerings or other continuous financing activities (such as under the ATM) to fund our pre-clinical and clinical programs; conversion of the promissory note held by the Moringa sponsor into ordinary shares; business development
transactions in which we may seek to acquire assets that are complementary to our current product candidate; exercises (whether induced or not) of our outstanding warrants; and equity grants to our employees (including officers), directors and
consultants under our equity incentive plans. The cumulative effect of those transactions would be the issuance of additional ordinary shares that together could exceed our existing issued and outstanding share capital several times over. Our
Board will have considerable discretion with respect to our entry into most of these transactions. While the Board intends to carefully manage our enhanced authorized share capital to support and reinforce, as much as possible, the price and
liquidity of, and the trading market for, our traded securities, there is no guarantee that it can successfully do so. The potential transactions would lead to the issuance of ordinary shares in quantities or in a manner that may be dilutive to
our existing shareholders, reducing their voting power as well as their percentage economic interest in our company.
Depending on market liquidity at the time, resales of newly issued ordinary shares that become available for issuance as a result of the increase to our authorized share capital and are issued
pursuant to any of the above-described transactions may cause the trading price of our ordinary shares to decrease, and any such decrease could be substantial and could jeopardize our compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires
us to maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 on an ongoing basis. Based on historical patterns in the biotechnology sector, significant increases in outstanding shares can lead to downward pressure on stock prices, particularly if such issuances
are perceived as occurring at unfavorable valuations. Additionally, the anticipation that such issuances and resales may take place could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a
price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
Shares issued from our increased authorized share capital may have additional adverse effects on our existing shareholders.
Our utilization of the increase in our authorized share capital for additional significant issuances of ordinary shares may have additional adverse impacts on our existing shareholders beyond a
decline in the trading price and dilution (as identified in the previous risk factor). Depending on the amount of consideration received in connection with future issuance transactions, such transactions could also reduce shareholders’ equity on
a per-share basis. The primary purposes of the enhanced authorized share capital are (i) to enable us to enter into transactions that increase our overall shareholders’ equity in order to preserve our current listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market,
and (ii) to enable us to issue ordinary shares as part of funding vital working capital for our pre-clinical and clinical development of our innovative RNAi therapies. Nevertheless, while the Board is not proposing the increase with the intent of
using the newly authorized reserve as an anti-takeover device, the authorized ordinary shares could, in theory, also be used to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction that is favored by a majority of our public shareholders (for example,
by permitting issuances that would dilute the share ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of the Board or management of the Company, or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for a combination of the
Company with another company). The newly available authorized shares resulting from the increase in our authorized share capital thus may have the potential to limit the opportunity for shareholders to dispose of their ordinary shares at a
premium.
Risk Factor Related to the Evergreen Increase Proposal
The proposed change to the evergreen provision may lead to dilution of existing shareholders, who will be unable to influence the size of future increases under the Equity
Pool.
The proposed change to the evergreen provision to be effected pursuant to Proposal 2 will increase the maximum number of ordinary shares to be added to the reserve for issuance under the 2024
Plan on an annual basis, which could result in dilution to existing shareholders if and when equity awards are granted, vest and are exercised (where applicable). For example, based on the 3,126,651 ordinary shares that were outstanding as
of January 1, 2026 (prior to the increase due to the evergreen provision), the January 1, 2026 evergreen increase would add approximately 594,900 shares to the Share Pool under the 2024 Plan under the proposed alternate evergreen provision,
compared to only approximately 156,333 shares to be added to the Share Pool under the current 5% evergreen provision. The evergreen increase will be automatic each year, subject only to our Board’s ability to reduce the annual increase in
any given year, and our shareholders will be unable to vote on the amount of the increase that they believe is appropriate in any given year.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information known to the Company regarding the beneficial ownership of Silexion ordinary shares as of December 31, 2025 by:
|
|
●
|
each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding Silexion ordinary shares;
|
|
|
●
|
the Company’s named executive officer and directors; and
|
|
|
●
|
all of the Company’s executive officers and directors as a group.
|
Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting
or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. In computing the number of ordinary shares and the percentage beneficial ownership of any person or entity, we
include, as outstanding, those ordinary shares that are subject to options, warrants or RSUs held by that person or entity that are exercisable as of, or exercisable within 60 days of, December 31, 2025. We do not deem those shares to be
outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or entity.
Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Silexion ordinary shares beneficially owned by them.
The number, and percentage ownership, of ordinary shares reflected in the table and footnotes below are based on 3,126,651 ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
