Explanatory Note
On July 8, 2025, Silexion
Therapeutics Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Silexion” or the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) in
order to report the decision reached by a hearings panel of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that granted the Company’s request to remain listed on Nasdaq, subject to certain conditions. The Original
Report described, among other things, the expected timing for two actual or potential developments following that hearings panel decision:
| (i) |
the expected timing for the transfer of the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares and warrants to the Nasdaq Capital Market from the Nasdaq Global Market;
and
|
| (ii) |
to the extent the Company becomes deficient with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) as a result of the bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares closing below
$1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, the expected timing for the Company’s remedying that bid price deficiency.
|
This Amendment No. 1 to the Original
Report is being filed for the sole purpose of updating and correcting the expected timing related to those two actual or potential developments. Other than as updated and corrected hereby, the information contained in the Original Report
remains as reported therein.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Outcome of Hearing Re: Nasdaq Delisting Notice; Continued Listing of Securities
As part of the decision reached by the hearings panel of Nasdaq and conveyed to the Company on July 7, 2025,
the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares and warrants will be transferred from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. That transfer is expected to be effected by Nasdaq as soon as practicable, although it may not be effected on
July 8, 2025, as was reported in the Original Report.
In addition, as was disclosed to the Nasdaq hearings panel and reported in the Original Report, the Company
may soon become deficient as to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) if the bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares closes below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days. In order for the Company to remedy that potential deficiency, the closing bid price
for the Company’s ordinary shares would need to close above $1.00 for 10 consecutive trading days. That remedy would be expected to be achieved only after 10 trading days would elapse following the Company’s effecting a planned 1-for-15 reverse share
split. Such a reverse share split must first be approved by the Company’s shareholders, which the Company anticipates will occur pursuant to Proposal 3 at the Company’s 2025 annual general meeting that is scheduled to reconvene on July 14, 2025. Such
a reverse share split could furthermore only be effected after a required 10-day notice period under the Nasdaq Listing Rules following that shareholder approval, which period should conclude on or about July 25, 2025. Consequently, the 10-day
trading period following the reverse share split during which the closing bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares would be expected to be above $1.00 would only conclude at least 10 trading days after July 25, 2025 (i.e., in early to mid August),
and only at that time would the Company expect to have regained compliance with that potential minimum bid price deficiency.
As described in the Original Report, there can be no assurance that Silexion will successfully meet the
terms of its compliance plan and/or maintain compliance with all relevant standards for maintaining its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Amendment No. 1 to the Original Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words. Statements that are not historical in nature, including the words “anticipate,” “expect,” “suggests,” “plan,”
“believe,” “intend,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,” “forecast” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Those statements include, without limitation, those
related to the Company’s expected cure of its potential minimum bid price listing deficiency by effecting a 1-for-15 reverse share split on or about July 25,
2025 and achieving and maintaining a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive trading days thereafter, and all other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections
and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including, but not limited to, that the Company’s shareholders may not approve the proposed 1-for-15 reverse share split pursuant to Proposal 3 at the Company’s upcoming reconvened annual general
meeting on July 14, 2025 to enable the Company’s remediation of its potential minimum bid price listing deficiency. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of
the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2025. That filing identifies and addresses other important risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on
forward-looking statements, and the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise those forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. The Company does not give any assurance
that it will achieve its expectations.
