9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation
under the supervision of our CEO and CFO (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), regarding the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June
30, 2025. Based on the aforementioned evaluation, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective
as of June 30, 2025.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting has
been designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Our internal control over
financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in
accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting on June 30, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 2013 framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework .
Based on that assessment under those criteria, management has determined that, as of June 30, 2025, our internal control over financial
reporting was effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes
in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
ITEM
9B. OTHER INFORMATION.

The Board determined that

the 2025 Annual Meeting held on June 30, 2025, his membership on the Board and Investment Committee terminated on June 30, 2025. Prior

is responsible for overseeing the composition and size of the Board, developing qualification criteria for Board members and actively
seeking, interviewing and screening individuals qualified to become Board members for recommendation to the Board and for recommending
the composition of the Board for each of the Company’s annual meetings. The Board as a whole is responsible for nominating individuals
for election to the Board by the shareholders and for filling vacancies on the Board that may occur between annual meetings of the shareholders.
Nominees for director will
be selected on the basis of their integrity, business acumen, knowledge of our business and industry, age, experience, diligence, conflicts
of interest and the ability to act in the interests of all shareholders. No particular criteria will be a prerequisite or will be assigned
a specific weight, nor does the Company have a diversity policy. The Company believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of its
directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the Board to
fulfill its responsibilities.
We have never received communications
from shareholders recommending individuals to any of our independent directors. Therefore, we do not yet have a policy regarding the
consideration of any director candidates recommended by shareholders. In fiscal year 2025, we did not pay a fee to any third party
to identify or evaluate, or assist in identifying or evaluating, potential nominees for our Board. We have not received any recommendations
from shareholders for Board nominees. All of the nominees for election at the 2025 meeting of shareholders were current members of our
Board, at that time.
Code of Ethics
Our Board has adopted a Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, members of our Board, our officers including our CEO (being our
principal executive officer) and our CFO (being our principal financial and accounting officer) and our employees.
53
Our Code of Business Conduct
and Ethics is posted on our Internet website at www.pluri-biotech.com. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference
in this Annual Report. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding amendment to, or waiver
from, a provision of our Code of Conduct by posting such information on the website address specified above.
Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an insider
trading policy governing the purchase, sale and other transactions in our securities that applies to our directors, officers, employees,
consultants, contractors and other related persons of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including family members, members of their household,
as well as the Company itself.
The insider trading policy
prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of any nonpublic information acquired in the workplace and the misuse of material nonpublic information
in securities trading. Specifically, the insider trading policy prohibits (i) engagement in any transaction involving the purchase or
sale of the Company’s securities during certain periods while holding material nonpublic information; and (ii) tipping of any material
nonpublic information where such information may be used for profit by trading in the Company’s securities. Pursuant to the insider
trading policy, nonpublic information relating to the Company is the property of the Company and the unauthorized disclosure of such
information is forbidden.
The Company believes that
the insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing
standards applicable to the Company.
A copy of our insider trading
policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this Form 10-K.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange
Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common shares, to file reports regarding
ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the SEC and to provide us with copies of those filings.
We have reviewed all forms
provided to us or filed with the SEC and based on that review, we believe that all Section 16(a) filings during the past fiscal year
were filed on a timely basis and that all directors, executive officers and 10% beneficial owners have fully complied with such requirements
during the past fiscal year, other than a Form 3 filed by Alexandre Weinstein on February 18, 2025, and a Form 4 filed by Alexandre Weinstein
and Chutzpah as a joint filer on July 1, 2025.

On December 14, 2022, Mr.

(6)
In December 2023, in light
of the ongoing conflict in Israel and challenges in predicting its resolution and the subsequent impact on the Company’s operations,
and in order to ensure the Company’s financial stability, the Board approved, at the recommendation of the Company’s
management, (i) a 20% monthly cash salary reduction in the amount of 39,600 NIS to Mr. Yanay, our CEO, for the months of January
2024 and February 2024, (ii) a 20% cash salary reduction in the amount of 39,000 NIS to Mrs. Franco-Yehuda, our former CFO, for the

for a period of six months commencing July 2025.

year 2025 are included in Note 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025 and 2024, respectively, included

the engagement be:
1.
pre-approved by our Audit Committee; or
2.
entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established
by the Audit Committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the Audit Committee is informed
of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to management.
The Audit Committee pre-approves
all services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved
by the Audit Committee before the services were rendered.
As of June 30, 2025, we have
accrued approximately $40,000 for the annual audit fees for fiscal year 2025, which we expect to pay PricewaterhouseCoopers during fiscal
