CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report includes “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expected or projected. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this quarterly report, including
statements in “ Part I. Financial Information, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations ” regarding our financial position, business strategy, preclinical and clinical development plans, regulatory interactions
and submissions, expected timing of clinical trial initiation and results, capital requirements, financing activities, and Nasdaq listing
status and compliance, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “estimate,” “seek,” “target,” “plan,” “project,” “could,”
“should,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “would,” “potential,” and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain those identifying
words. Forward-looking statements in this quarterly report may include, for example, statements about:
•
our current and planned pre-clinical and clinical
studies and trials involving our product candidates (in particular, SIL204), anticipated study designs, and the timing of related regulatory
submissions and approvals;
•
our market opportunity and competitive position;
•
our strategy, future operations, financial position,
projected costs, prospects and plans;
•
our future capital requirements and sources and
uses of cash, including our ability to obtain additional capital, whether through sales under the ATM Agreement, other public offerings,
private placements, warrant exercises or alternative financings under our shelf registration statement or otherwise;
•
our ability to maintain the listing of our ordinary
shares and warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market;
iii
•
our ability to retain or recruit officers,
key employees and directors and to effectively leverage third-party contract research organizations (CROs) and manufacturers;
•
the impact of the regulatory environment and complexities
with compliance related to such environment;
•
expectations regarding future partnerships or other
relationships with third parties;
•
expectations regarding the duration for which we
will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act and/or a smaller reporting company under the Exchange Act.
The forward-looking statements contained
in this quarterly report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects
on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements
involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or
performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including, among others:
•
we are a development-stage company and have a limited
operating history on which to assess our business;
•
we have never generated any revenue from product
sales and may never be profitable;
•
we will need to raise substantial additional funding,
which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and which would likely cause dilution to our shareholders;
•
the approach we are taking to discover and develop
novel RNAi therapeutics is unproven for oncology and may never lead to marketable products;
•
we do not have experience producing our product
candidates at commercial levels, currently have no marketing and sales organization, have an uncertain market receptiveness to our product
candidates, and are uncertain as to whether there will be insurance coverage and reimbursement for our potential products;
•
we may be unable to attract, develop and/or retain our
key personnel or additional employees required for our development and future success;
•
we rely on third parties (including CROs and contract manufacturers)
whose performance is largely beyond our control;
•
we may issue additional ordinary shares or other equity securities
without your approval, which would dilute your ownership interest and may depress the market price of our ordinary shares; and
•
those additional factors described in “ Part
I, Item 1A. Risk Factors ” of the 2025 annual report.
For further information regarding those
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please
refer to “ Part I, Item 1.A Risk Factors ” of the 2025 annual report. Our securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR
section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.report. Except as expressly required by applicable securities laws, we disclaim any intention
or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

PART
I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Explanatory Note
Reverse Share Split
On July 28, 2025, we effected a reverse
share split of our authorized ordinary shares (both issued and outstanding, and unissued) at a ratio of 1-for-15, with a market effective
date of July 29, 2025. Unless specifically provided otherwise herein, all historical share, per share and related option and warrant data
during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 (which is used for comparative purposes to the corresponding period of 2026) that is
presented in this quarterly report has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of shares and the increase in the share
price which resulted from that reverse share split.

Introduction :
Silexion
Therapeutics Corp (“Silexion”, the “Company” or the “Combined Company”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology
company developing, through its subsidiaries, RNA interference (RNAi) therapies for KRAS-driven cancers. Silexion’s approach targets
a significant unmet medical need, as treatment innovation for KRAS-driven cancers has historically lagged despite KRAS being one of the
most common oncogenic drivers across solid tumors. Silexion’s lead product candidate, SIL204, is a second-generation siRNA therapy,
designed to silence mutant KRAS, using an integrated treatment approach that combines intratumoral and systemic administration. The Company
was originally formed for the purpose of effecting the Transactions (as defined below). Following the closing of the Transactions on August
15, 2024 (the “Closing”), the Company became a publicly-traded holding company that has one primary active wholly-owned subsidiary
— Silexion Therapeutics Ltd. (formerly known as Silenseed Ltd.) (“Silexion Israel”), an Israeli limited company, through
which much of its operations are conducted, along with certain additional inactive subsidiaries, including Moringa Acquisition Corp (“Moringa”
or the “SPAC”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, and Silenseed (China) Ltd. , a Chinese company.
On
April 3, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (hereinafter, the “A&R BCA”)
with the SPAC, Silexion Israel, August M.S. Ltd. an Israeli company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub 1”),
and Moringa Acquisition Merger Sub Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company and additional wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger
Sub 2”). Pursuant to the closing under the A&R BCA, which occurred on August 14, 2024, both Silexion Israel and the SPAC became
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, which became a publicly-held, Nasdaq-listed entity whose securities are traded under the ticker
symbols “SLXN” and “SLXNW” (the transactions effected pursuant to the A&R BCA are referred to as the “Transactions”).
b.
New Subsidiary :
On
February 9, 2026 the Company purchased a German shelf company for immaterial consideration, which was subsequently renamed Silexion Therapeutics
GmbH (“Silexion Germany”), to conduct the Company’s clinical trials in Germany. As of March 31, 2026, no substantial
activity has commenced in Silexion Germany.
c.
Israeli Wars:
In
October 2023, Israel was attacked by Hamas, a terrorist organization and entered a state of war. Since the commencement of these events,
there have been additional active hostilities, including with Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement which controls parts of Yemen,
and with Iran. In response to ongoing Iranian aggression and support of proxy attacks against Israel, on June 12, 2025, Israel conducted
a series of preemptive defensive air strikes in Iran targeting Iran’s nuclear program and military commanders.
On
June 24, 2025, a ceasefire with Iran was reached. On October 9, 2025, Israel, Hamas, the United States and other countries in the region
agreed to a framework for a ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. While that ceasefire has been mostly maintained, in late February
2026, Israel and the United States preemptively attacked Iran. As part of this conflict, Iran and Hezbollah have launched missile attacks
throughout Israel. As a result, the Israeli government imposed restrictions on the opening of non-essential places of business and announced
the recruitment of military reserves. In April 2026, a temporary ceasefire was reached between the United States and Israel, on the one
hand, and Iran, on the other hand. As of the date of these financial statements, it is unclear whether, and for how long, this ceasefire
will continue.
The
Company’s employees and management personnel are located in Israel; however, other core activities, including research and development,
clinical, and regulatory, are conducted outside of Israel. The Company considered the impact of the war and determined that (in part due
to those core activities being conducted outside of Israel) there were no material adverse impacts on the consolidated financial statements,
including related significant estimates made by management, for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026. Further, as the Company’s
R&D activity is conducted outside of Israel, the Company does not expect future adverse effects of the war on its core activities.
On the other hand, travel restrictions imposed may impact the Company’s ability to raise funds to finance its activities in the
near term.

NOTE
1 - GENERAL (continued):
At
this stage, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of the developments on its future financial position, its results of operations,
or its cash flows, if any. However, as this event is outside the Company’s control, factors such as the continued duration of the
military conflict and its potential expansion into additional areas, as well as other developments, may impact the Company, its financial
position, its ability to conduct financing activities, its results of operations, and its cash flows. The Company continues to monitor
these developments in order to assess the potential effects of the military conflict on its activities.
d.
Going concern
Since
its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to research and development, clinical trials, and capital raising
activities. The Company is still in its development and clinical stage and has not yet generated revenues.
The
Company has incurred losses of $ 2,733
and $ 11,912
for the three month period ended on March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. During the three-month period
ended on March 31, 2026, the Company had negative operating cash flows of $ 3,646 .
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 2,413 .
The
Company expects to continue incurring losses, and negative cash flows from operations. Management is in the process of evaluating various
financing alternatives, as the Company will need to finance future research and development activities, general and administrative expenses
and working capital through fund raising. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such funding.In
addition, the Company is exploring the use of mitigating actions such as postponing expenses that are not based on firm commitments.
Under
these circumstances, in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, management has
concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as management believes its
current funds will be sufficient to fund its operations for only several months from the date these financial statements are issued. The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
e.
Reverse share splits:
On
July 28, 2025, the Company effected 1-for-15 reverse
share splits of all of its issued and outstanding, and authorized but unissued, ordinary shares. The reverse share splits resulted in
corresponding increases in the par value of the Company’s ordinary shares, from $ 0.0009 to
$ 0.0135 ,
per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse splits, as any fractional share totals to which shareholders would
have been entitled were rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. All references made to ordinary shares and per share amounts
(for each of Silexion, Silexion Israel, and Moringa) in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, have been
adjusted to reflect those reverse share splits.

2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
a.
Unaudited
Condensed Financial Statements
The
accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial
statements and follow the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion
of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal and recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2026, and the consolidated
results of operations, statements of changes in shareholders’ equity (capital deficiency) and cash flows for the three month period
ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The
consolidated results for the three month ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2026.
These
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
and the related notes of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2026. The significant accounting policies adopted and used in the preparation of the financial
statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
b.
Use of estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. As applicable to these financial statements, the most significant
estimates and assumptions relate to the fair value of financial instruments (see Note 8). These estimates and assumptions are based on
current facts, future expectations, and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates.
c.
Restricted cash
As
of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company pledged an amount of $ 58
and $ 57 ,
respectively in favor of a bank as collateral for guarantees provided to secure operating lease payments.
The
Company is required to hold a minimum amount of NIS 86
in its bank account in order to maintain availability of a credit line from its credit card company.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
d.
Fair value measurement
Fair
value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements,
the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three
broad levels, which are described as follows:
Level
1:
Quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair
value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level
2:
Observable prices that are
based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data or active market data of similar or identical assets or
liabilities.
Level
3
Unobservable inputs are
used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In
determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
e.
Concentration of credit risks
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted
cash and long-term deposits. The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents mostly with four low risk financial institutions. The Company
has not experienced any material credit losses in these accounts and does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk on these
instruments.

January Public Offering of Ordinary Shares,
Pre-Funded Warrants, and Ordinary Warrants.
On
January 15, 2025, the Company offered and sold in, and January 17, 2025, the Company completed, a public offering (the “January
Offering”) of 143,067
ordinary shares and 143,067
ordinary warrants to purchase up to 143,067
ordinary shares, at a purchase price of $ 20.25
per ordinary share and accompanying warrant, and 103,847
pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 103,847
ordinary shares (the “January Pre-Funded Warrants”) and 103,847
ordinary warrants to purchase up to 103,847
ordinary shares, at a purchase price of $ 20.25
per pre-funded warrant and accompanying ordinary warrant (all such ordinary warrants sold with the ordinary shares and January Pre-Funded
Warrants, the “January Ordinary Warrants”). The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the January Offering were approximately
$ 5,000 ,
net of transaction costs of $ 745 .
The
January Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $ 0.0015
per ordinary share and were not to expire until exercised in full. The January Ordinary Warrants have an exercise price of $ 20.25
per ordinary share, were immediately exercisable, and can be exercised for five

As
of March 31, 2026, all 103,847 January
Pre-Funded Warrants had been exercised for 103,847 ordinary
shares, and a total of 42,683 January
Ordinary Warrants had been exercised for 42,683 ordinary
shares, for total proceeds of $ 0.9 million.
As
compensation for the placement agent’s role in the January Offering, the Company issued to it warrants to purchase up to 17,284
ordinary shares. Those placement agent warrants had an exercise price of $ 25.31
per ordinary share, were exercisable for five years
from the date of the commencement of sales in the January Offering, and otherwise reflected substantially the same terms as the ordinary
warrants sold in the January Offering.
b.
Induced Warrant Exercise Transactions
On
January 29, 2025, the Company entered into an inducement offer letter agreement (the “January Inducement Offer”) with holders
of 148,102
of the Company’s January Ordinary Warrants. Pursuant to the January Inducement Offer, on January 30, 2025, those holders exercised
those warrants for cash and purchased 148,102
ordinary shares at a cash exercise price of $ 20.25
per share. As consideration for the holders’ agreement to exercise, the Company issued to them new ordinary warrants to purchase
up to an aggregate of 148,102
ordinary shares at an exercise price of $ 22.50
per share (the “January New Ordinary Warrants”). The exercising holders also paid the Company an additional $ 1.88
per January New Ordinary Warrant issued to them. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $ 3,276
from the exercise of the existing January Ordinary Warrants by the holders, net of placement agent fees and other offering expenses of
$ 462 .
Upon
exercise for cash of any January New Ordinary Warrants, in certain circumstances, the placement agent will receive from the Company a
cash fee of 8.0 %
of the aggregate gross exercise price. Pursuant to the January Inducement Offer transaction, the Company also issued to the placement
agent warrants to purchase up to 10,368
ordinary shares, which have the same terms as the January New Ordinary Warrants issued in the transaction, except that the placement agent
warrants have an exercise price equal to $ 27.66
per share. Upon exercise for cash of any January New Ordinary Warrants, in certain circumstances, the Company will issue to the placement
agent warrants that are exercisable for 7.0 %
of the number of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of those January New Ordinary Warrants. As of March 31, 2026, the payment
of cash fees and issuance of additional warrants to the placement agent upon exercise of January New Ordinary Warrants were not probable.
Both
the January New Ordinary Warrants and the placement agent warrants were immediately exercisable from the date of their issuance until
April 1, 2027.

5 - RELATED PARTY PROMISSORY NOTE :
Effective
as of the Closing, Silexion issued to the Sponsor in replacement in their entirety of all previously existing promissory notes issued
by Moringa to the Sponsor from its IPO until the Closing, an amended and restated promissory note (the “Related Party Promissory
Note”, and, together with the Underwriters Promissory Note, the “Promissory Notes”) in an amount of $ 3,433 .
This reflected the total amount owed by Moringa to the Sponsor through the Closing Date. The maturity date of the Related Party Promissory
Note is the 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date (i.e., February 15, 2027). Amounts outstanding under the Related Party Promissory
Note may be repaid (unless otherwise decided by Silexion) only by way of conversion into Silexion ordinary shares (“Note Shares”).
Silexion and the Sponsor may also convert amounts outstanding under the Related Party Promissory Note at the price per share at which
Silexion conducts an equity financing following the Closing, subject to a minimum conversion amount of $ 100 ,
in an amount of Note Shares constituting up to thirty percent ( 30 %)
of the number of Silexion ordinary shares issued and sold by Silexion in such equity financing. The Sponsor may also elect to convert
amounts of principal outstanding under the note into Silexion ordinary shares at any time following the 24-month anniversary of the
Closing Date, subject to a minimum conversion of $ 10 ,
at a price per share equal to the volume weighted average price of the Silexion ordinary shares on the principal market on which they
are traded during the 20 consecutive trading
days prior to the conversion date.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued):
Promissory Notes
In measuring the fair value of the Company’s
Promissory Notes in 2025, a discount rate of 13.79 %- 14.28 %
was used, based on a B- rated US dollar zero-coupon discount curve, plus a credit spread of 7.56 %.
The expected timing of conversion or repayment of the notes was determined using the Company’s forecasts. In 2026, the valuation
technique was changed to a Monte Carlo simulation framework to model the expected conversion price at the Promissory Note’s maturity
date, which is based on a contractual 20-day average closing price mechanism. The following table provides quantitative information regarding
fair value measurement inputs of the Company’s Promissory Notes:
March 31, 2026

* The estimation of the volatility was based
on the volatility of the Company’s daily share prices for a period equal to the term of the Promissory Note.

The carrying amounts of
cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses, and other assets, trade payables and other accounts payable approximate

The Company operates as a single operating
segment in the research and development of innovative treatments for pancreatic cancer based on siRNA. The Company’s CODM is its
Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CODM reviews the Company’s performance on a consolidated basis. As such, the segment’s
loss is the Company’s consolidated net loss and the segment’s assets are the Company’s consolidated assets.
The CODM uses the information primarily
to evaluate the Company’s performance and allocate resources. This includes reviewing key financial metrics such as budget versus
actual expenditures, tracking progress on research and development milestones, and assessing overall cash flow and liquidity to ensure
the continuity of operations. This approach allows the CODM to monitor the Company's performance and make strategic adjustments as needed
to support its operational and financial goals.
The CODM reviews the Company’s
results on a consolidated basis. As such, information on segment loss and significant expenses is similar to the Company’s consolidated
statements of operations. The CODM is also regularly provided with information on significant ordinary-course expenses, including the
following expenses. The Company’s management does not segregate the Company’s business for internal reporting.

Reverse share split
On
May 5, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors, followed by the Company’s shareholders (pursuant to Proposal 3 at the Company’s
reconvened extraordinary general meeting, as described in paragraph (b) of this Note 12), approved a 1-for-10

Split, all issued and outstanding, and all authorized but unissued, ordinary shares, par value $0.0135, of the Company, will be consolidated
on a 1-for-10
basis, into a lesser number of ordinary shares, par value $0.135 per share, of the Company. The Reverse Share Split is expected to become
effective in late May or early June 2026, subject to completion of required logistical procedures. All references made to share or per
share amounts in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures herein, unless otherwise indicated,

Warrant Exercise Inducement Transaction
On
May 15, 2026, the Company entered into an inducement offer letter agreement (the “May 2026 Inducement Offer”) with holders
of 1,995,092
of the Company’s existing ordinary warrants, of which (i) 1,022,500
were Series A warrants that had been issued in the Company’s public offering completed in September 2025 and had a five-year exercise
term and an exercise price of $ 4.0
per underlying ordinary share, (ii) 778,750
were Series B Warrants that had been issued in that September 2025 public offering and had a one-year exercise term and an exercise price
of $ 4.0
per underlying ordinary share , and (iii) 193,842
warrants had been issued in the Company’s prior warrant inducement transaction completed on August 1, 2025 and had a 24-month exercise
term and an exercise price of $ 11.32
per underlying ordinary share.
The
closing under the May 2026 Inducement Offer occurred on May 15, 2026, when those holders exercised those warrants for cash and purchased
1,995,092
ordinary shares at a reduced cash exercise price of $ 0.5
per share. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $ 1.0
million from the exercise of the existing ordinary warrants by the holders, net of placement agent fees and other offering expenses of
$ 0.2
million.
As
consideration for the holders’ agreement to exercise, the Company issued to them new ordinary warrants to purchase up to an aggregate
of 3,990,184
ordinary shares at an exercise price of $ 0.5
per share (the “May 2026 Ordinary Warrants”), of which 2,045,000
(Series C) warrants are exercisable for a five-year period, and 1,945,184
(Series D) warrants are exercisable for a twenty-four (24) month period, in each case beginning with the later of (x) the date of shareholder
approval of the warrant exercise transaction, and (y) the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the resale registration statement
under which the Company is required to register the resale of the ordinary shares underlying those warrants and the placement agent warrants
(as referenced below).
Pursuant
to the May 2026 Inducement Offer transaction, the Company also issued to the placement agent warrants to purchase up to 139,656
ordinary shares, which have the same terms as the May 2026 Ordinary Warrants that are exercisable for a twenty-four (24) month period,
except that the placement agent warrants have an exercise price equal to $ 0.625
per share. Upon exercise for cash of any May 2026 Ordinary Warrants, in certain circumstances, the placement agent will receive from the
Company a cash fee of 8.0 %
of the aggregate gross exercise price, as well as additional placement agent warrants exercisable for 7.0 %
of the number of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of those May 2026 Ordinary Warrants.
e.
Conversion of amounts under related party promissory
note
In
connection with the May 2026 warrant exercise inducement transaction, the Company converted $ 299
of the principal amount under the Related Party Promissory Note into 598,528
ordinary shares, which it issued to the Sponsor, at the same price per share $ 0.50
- at which the warrants were exercised in the May 2026 Inducement Offer.
In
connection with the sale of 1,088,255 ordinary shares to investors under the ATM facility on May 2026 at an average price per share of
$0.32, the Company converted $105 of the principal amount under the Related Party Promissory Note into 326,477 ordinary shares, which
it issued to the Sponsor at the same price of $0.32 per share as in that transaction.
Following
the foregoing conversions under the Related Party Promissory Note, the balance under that note stood at $ 1,229
as of the date of these financial statements.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introductory Note
The following discussion and analysis
of our financial condition and results of operations (this “ MD&A ”) should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Some of the information contained in this
discussion and analysis or set forth in this quarterly report, including information with respect to our plans, objectives, expectations,
projections, and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
As a result of many factors, including those factors set out in “Part I— Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2025 annual report,
our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements. See also the
section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this quarterly report.
Unless the context otherwise requires,
references to “Silexion,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” in this MD&A
generally refer to Silexion Therapeutics Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company. For periods prior to the Business Combination, these
terms refer to Silexion Israel, an Israeli company, through which our operations were conducted prior to the Business Combination.
Overview
Operations and Financing Activities
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company
that was originally formed for the purpose of effectuating the Business Combination and that now serves as a publicly traded holding company
for each of Silexion Israel (through which our operations are carried out) and Moringa (which has no operations and which is currently
in the process of being wound down). Our ordinary shares and warrants were initially listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and were subsequently
transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market, and are quoted for trading under the symbols “SLXN” and “SLXNW”, respectively.
We conduct our operations primarily
through our principal subsidiary, Silexion Israel, a clinical-stage biotechnology company engaged in the discovery and development of
proprietary treatments for cancers driven by mutations in the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (“ KRAS ”).
The KRAS gene, when mutated, plays a central role in many cancer types, such as pancreatic, colorectal, and lung cancers, and is therefore
considered an oncogene. This oncogene instructs cells to produce the corresponding mutated KRAS protein, which plays a key role in regulating
cell growth signaling in cancer cells. While multiple pharmaceutical companies are pursuing strategies to inhibit KRAS and thereby limit
its downstream signaling, our approach is differentiated by targeting the root cause of oncogenic signaling: we silence the KRAS oncogene
itself, preventing the production of the oncogenic protein.
Our proprietary technology is designed
to prompt tumor cells to degrade the messenger RNA (mRNA) that bridges the oncogene and the cellular protein synthesis machinery, utilizing
small interfering RNA (siRNA) constructs that are chemically modified to enhance stability and cellular uptake while maintaining biological
activity that interferes with mRNA function. Our lead product candidate, SIL204, is a second-generation siRNA engineered to suppress the
production of mutated KRAS proteins. In pancreatic cancer, approximately 92% of patients have this mutated oncogene.
To address both localized and systemic
disease, as well as the tumor’s dense desmoplastic stroma, which limits the effectiveness of current treatments, our novel delivery
approach, which we refer to as an Integrated Treatment Regimen, involves administering SIL204 both directly into the tumor and systemically
via subcutaneous injection, in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy. In a previous Phase 2 clinical trial with our first-generation
siRNA, the combination of siRNA and standard-of-care chemotherapy demonstrated an overall survival benefit compared to standard-of-care
chemotherapy alone. Building on preclinical advancements and regimen optimization, we believe SIL204 has the potential to further improve
clinical outcomes. During 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, we advanced operational readiness, including the onboarding of external
vendors, with the initiation of clinical studies expected in the second quarter of 2026, contingent upon obtaining regulatory clearance.
2
As a clinical stage company, we have
not realized any revenues to date. Prior to the Business Combination, we financed our operations primarily with the net proceeds from
private offerings of our ordinary shares and convertible preferred shares, convertible financing agreements, and Simple Agreement for
Future Equity (SAFE) financings, as well as royalty-bearing grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority (the “ IIA ”).
Those grants totaled $5.8 million through March 31, 2026, all of which was received prior to the Business Combination.
Upon the Closing of the Business Combination,
we raised $2.0 million via a private investment in public entity (PIPE) financing, in which Moringa sold to Greenstar, LP, an affiliate
of the Moringa sponsor, 1,482 newly issued Moringa ordinary shares at a price of $1,350.00 per share. Those shares were converted into
an equivalent number of Silexion ordinary shares at the Closing. In connection with the Closing, we also entered into an ordinary share
purchase agreement, dated August 13, 2024 and effective as of August 15, 2024 (the “ ELOC Agreement ”) with
White Lion Capital, LLC (“ White Lion ”), which provided us with an equity line of credit (the “ ELOC ”)
of up to $15.0 million. We utilized the ELOC for financings from time to time during the early periods following the Closing of the Business
Combination, having raised an aggregate of $3.1 million, all of which was raised prior to December 31, 2024. The ELOC expired on December
31, 2025.
During
2025 and thus far in 2026, we successfully transitioned to alternative financing transactions, raising capital via (i) public offerings
of ordinary shares and/or pre-funded warrants, together with ordinary warrants, as well as (ii) ordinary warrant exercise transactions,
many of which were completed at the time of, or during periods that followed, those public offerings. We completed public offerings in
January 2025 and September 2025, in which we have raised gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively,
before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. In connection with the closing of the January 2025 and September 2025
public offerings, investors exercised an aggregate of 42,683 ordinary warrants and 445,000 Series B ordinary warrants issued in the respective
offerings, which provided us with additional gross proceeds of $0.9 million and $1.78 million in those offerings, respectively. As a follow-up
to the first such public offering, later in January 2025 and again at the start of August 2025, we completed transactions for the induced
exercise of ordinary warrants, which raised gross proceeds of approximately $3.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, before deducting
placement agent fees and other offering expenses. As a follow-up primarily to the second such public offering and to the August 2025 induced
warrant exercise transaction, in May 2026, we completed a transaction for the induced exercise of ordinary warrants that had been issued
in those offerings, which raised gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering
expenses. H.C. Wainwright served as the exclusive placement agent for each of the foregoing public offerings and warrant exercise transactions.
Each of the foregoing financing transactions is described in further detail below in this MD&A under “ Liquidity and Capital
Resources .”
In
September 2025, we furthermore entered into the ATM Agreement with H.C. Wainwright, as sales agent or principal, under which we may raise
up to $13,170,000 on an ongoing basis via sales of our ordinary shares into the open market via an at-the-market financing mechanism (the
“ ATM ”), which we plan to use to finance our ongoing operations going forward. We did not sell any ordinary
shares under the ATM during 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, we raised approximately $0.08 million (net of sales agent fees) from
the sale of 64,080 ordinary shares under the ATM. Furthermore, in April 2026 and May 2026, we sold 679,845 ordinary shares and 1,088,255
ordinary shares under the ATM, respectively, in the aggregate, to certain investors, raising $0.75 million of proceeds and $0.33 million
of proceeds, respectively (in each case, net of sales agent fees).
Since
our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our net losses were $2.7 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated
deficit of $57.9 million (reflecting Silexion Israel’s accumulated deficit for all periods through August 15, 2024 and the combined
company’s accumulated deficit from August 16, 2024 through March 31, 2026). We have not recognized any revenue to date.
3
We expect to continue to incur significant
expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. The net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.
Our expenses will depend on many factors, including the timing and extent of spending to further develop SIL204 and initiate clinical
trials, support research and development efforts, investments in potential additional pipeline products, and increased overall compensation
as we continue to hire additional personnel. Our expenses will increase if and as we:
•
initiate a clinical trial powered for statistical significance with respect to SIL204;
•
seek marketing approvals for SIL204 in various territories;
•
apply for Orphan Drug Designation in both the U.S. and EU for our SIL204 product;
•
maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;
•
hire additional operational, clinical, quality control and scientific personnel;
•
add additional product candidates to our pipeline;
•
develop additional cancer indications for SIL204;
•
add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel
to support our product development, any future commercialization efforts and our status as a public company; and
•
invest in research and development and regulatory approval
efforts in order to utilize our technology as a platform focused on the silencing of the KRAS oncogene using RNA-interference therapeutics.
Continued Nasdaq Listing
As described above in this “ Overview ”
under “ Operations and Financing Activities ” and as detailed further in “ Liquidity and Capital Resources ”
of this MD&A below, our financial condition depends on, and is supported by, our ability to fund our operations on an ongoing basis,
including through equity financings. Our Nasdaq listing facilitates that ability, as many potential investors or financing sources may
be unwilling to consider an investment in our company on reasonable terms-or at all-if our ordinary shares and warrants were to be delisted
from Nasdaq. Such a delisting would likely reduce the liquidity of our securities and increase volatility in our trading price.
Remedy of Nasdaq Listing Deficiencies, Including Via
Hearings Process
As described below , over
the course of 2025, we underwent a hearings process with Nasdaq, which together with various remedial actions that we took (including
financing transactions and a reverse share split), restored our compliance with Nasdaq listing rules related to shareholders’ equity
and minimum bid price, thereby enabling us to avoid the delisting of our ordinary shares and public warrants from Nasdaq. As of September
25, 2025, we received confirmation from Nasdaq that we had restored our compliance with each such Nasdaq listing requirement, subject
to an ongoing mandatory panel monitoring period until September 23, 2026. To the extent we are found to once again be out of compliance
with the shareholders’ equity requirement during the monitoring period, we will be subject to an immediate delisting notice, without
entitlement to a cure or compliance period, subject to our right to request a new hearing before a hearings panel in order to prevent
a delisting of our securities from Nasdaq. The threat of an immediate delisting from Nasdaq materialized on May 22, 2025, when we received
a delisting notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department in respect of two listing deficiencies that we had been unable to
remedy during the six-month cure period since we had initially been notified of those deficiencies, on November 19, 2024. The deficiencies
related to our failure to maintain (i) a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities of $50 million and (ii) a minimum Market Value of Publicly
Held Shares of $15 million, in each case for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. We appealed the delisting notice to a Nasdaq
hearings panel, and a hearing was held before the panel on June 26, 2025. On July 7, 2025, we received a favorable decision from the hearings
panel, granting our request to remain listed on Nasdaq, subject to certain conditions. Pursuant to the favorable outcome, the listings
of our ordinary shares and warrants were transferred from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
4
Under the terms of the decision reached
by the hearings panel, the continued listing of our securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market was conditioned on our fulfillment of the
terms of the compliance plan that we had presented to the panel in connection with the June 26, 2025 hearing. That plan was designed to
enable us to achieve at least $2.5 million of shareholders’ equity (the “ shareholders’ equity requirement ”)
and thereby comply with the Equity Standard for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a continued basis. The terms of the compliance
plan required, in primary part, that on or before September 19, 2025, we demonstrate in a report filed under the Exchange Act our restoration
of compliance with, and our expected long-term compliance with, the shareholders’ equity requirement, as to be demonstrated in a
balance sheet not older than 60 days to be included in such a filing.
We provided the above-referenced demonstration
of our restoration of compliance with the shareholders’ equity requirement in our current report on Form 8-K that we filed with
the SEC on September 15, 2025, in which we described that we had completed a series of financing transactions, which had collectively
increased our shareholders’ equity on a pro forma basis as of July 31, 2025 by $10.3 million, to approximately $9.41 million as
of September 15, 2025.
In addition to becoming subject to,
and remedying, a Nasdaq shareholders’ equity listing deficiency, we also became subject to, and subsequently remedied, a Nasdaq
minimum bid price deficiency. On July 18, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq notifying us that for the 30 consecutive business days
preceding the letter, the closing bid price of our ordinary shares was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price required for continued
listing on Nasdaq. The letter indicated that the Nasdaq panel would consider the bid price deficiency in its decision as to whether to
enable us to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Following shareholder approval at our reconvened annual general meeting on July
14, 2025, we effected a 1-for-15 reverse share split on July 29, 2025, which raised the price of our ordinary shares above $1.00, and
we maintained a closing price above $1.00 for more than 10 consecutive trading days afterwards, thereby remedying the minimum bid price
deficiency.
As a result of our remedy of each
of the shareholders’ equity and minimum bid price deficiencies, on September 23, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq confirming
that we had demonstrated compliance with the requirements related to each such prior deficiency. As described in that letter, we are subject
to a mandatory panel monitoring period until September 23, 2026. If, during that one-year monitoring period, the Nasdaq staff determines
that our company is again out of compliance with the shareholders’ equity requirement, we would not be permitted to submit a plan
of compliance or be granted additional time to regain compliance, nor would we be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period. Instead,
the staff would issue a “Delist Determination Letter,” and we would have the opportunity to request a new hearing before the
same panel from our June 2025 hearing or, if that panel is unavailable, before a newly convened hearings panel.
As
of March 31, 2026, our shareholders’ equity was below the requisite $2.5 million level totaled to $0.3 million. Nevertheless, as
a result of our consummation of our May 2026 induced warrant exercise transaction in which we raised $1.0 million, and additional equity-increasing
transactions effected on or about May 15, 2026, we have restored our shareholders’ equity above the $2.5 million level as of the
date of this quarterly report, to $2.6 million.
While we believe we have successfully
addressed all immediate compliance concerns, we must continue to maintain compliance with all Nasdaq Capital Market listing standards.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with the shareholders’ equity requirement, the minimum bid
price requirement, or any other applicable standard for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market on an ongoing basis.
Authorized Share Capital Increase
At an extraordinary general meeting
originally held on April 28, 2026 and reconvened on May 5, 2026 (the “May 2026 extraordinary general meeting”), our shareholders
approved an increase in our authorized share capital from $121,500, divided into 9,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0135
each, to $796,500, divided into 59,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0135 each, thereby providing us with additional
capacity to issue equity securities. This increase in our authorized share capital has enabled us to raise required capital through the
induced warrant exercise transaction in May 2026 and should enable us to pursue additional financing activities, such as a potential
additional public offering and sales of ordinary shares under the ATM Agreement, in order to finance our operations and maintain compliance
with the Nasdaq minimum $2.5 million shareholders’ equity requirement.
5
Prospective Reverse Share Split
In
May 2026, our board of directors approved, and at the May 2026 extraordinary general meeting, our shareholders approved, a reverse share
split at a ratio of 1-for-10, subject to reduction of that ratio to the extent needed to comply with the Nasdaq listing requirement minimum
for publicly held shares. That reverse share split will apply to our authorized share capital, including both all issued and outstanding,
and all authorized but unissued, ordinary shares. The reverse share split will result in the consolidation of our authorized share capital
from $796,500 divided into 59,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0135 each, to $796,500 divided into 5,900,000 ordinary shares
of a par value of $0.135 each. Our issued ordinary shares as of May 14, 2026, 4,189,954 issued and outstanding ordinary shares of a par
value of $0.0135 will be consolidated into (as of May 14, 2026) 418,995 issued and outstanding ordinary shares of a par value of
$0.135. Our authorized unissued ordinary shares will be consolidated from (as of May 14, 2026) 54,810,046 unissued shares of a par value
of $0.0135 into 5,481,005 authorized unissued shares of a par value of $0.135.
This reverse share split will be necessary
in order to raise our share price and thereby enable us to avoid falling into non-compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement
for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If our share price were to close below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, we would be subject
to immediate delisting, subject to our ability to appeal that delisting to a Nasdaq hearings panel. Our maintenance of a share price that
is comfortably above the $1.00 minimum bid price level is furthermore a key strategic interest of ours, as it will assist us in raising
capital to continue to support our clinical trials. If we are unable to maintain a share price comfortably above the $1.00 level, we will
likely be unable to attract desirable investors that provide financing on a timely basis. That, in turn, would require us to significantly
curtail, delay, or discontinue one or more of our research, development or manufacturing programs or the commercialization of any product
candidates, or be unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities, as desired, which could materially
adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We intend to effect the reverse share
split as soon as practicable following the approval by our shareholders at the May 2026 extraordinary general meeting.
Components of our Results of Operations
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses include
costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, and consist primarily of the cost of payroll and related
expenses, payroll taxes and other employee benefits including share-based compensation related to employees, subcontractors costs, preclinical
and clinical trials costs and consulting fees.
We expect to continue to invest in research
and development to develop SIL204, including hiring additional employees and continuing the research and development of that product candidate.
As a result, we expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase in the future.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of personnel costs, including share-based compensation related to directors and employees, patent application fees,
office space rental costs, and maintenance expenses, external professional service costs, including legal, accounting, audit, insurance,
human resource services, travel expenses and other consulting fees.
6
Our general and administrative expenses
have increased, and we expect that they will continue to increase in the future, as we fund our continued research and development activities,
primarily due to increased headcount to support anticipated growth in the business and due to incremental costs associated with operating
as a public company, including costs to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, such as costs related to
compliance and reporting obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and stock exchange listing standards, public relations,
insurance and professional services.
Financial expenses, net
Finance expenses consist primarily of
changes in fair value of financial liabilities measured at fair value, interest expenses (income), and exchange rate differences expenses.

2026, compared to $0.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The increase resulted mainly from an increase in subcontractors
and consultants expenses in an aggregate amount of $0.7 million related to toxicology studies and product development required to support
initiation of the planned human clinical trial expected in the second quarter of 2026 including GMP manufacturing of our drug product.
In addition, we experienced an increase in share-based compensation expenses of $0.1 million related to executive officers’ grants
issued in February 2026, which did not recur in 2025.

31, 2026, compared to $1.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The increase resulted mainly from an increase in professional
services costs in an amount of $0.3 million, primarily related to legal, investor relations, press release activities, director compensation,
and other expenses associated with the costs of operating as a public company. In addition, share-based compensation expenses increased
by approximately $0.2 million related to equity grants to executive officers and directors in February 2026.
Financial expenses, net
Financial expenses (income), net decreased
by approximately $0.1 million, or 100%, to $0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.1 million for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in revaluation expenses of financial instruments (mainly
promissory notes).

Net loss
Net
loss increased by approximately $1.0 million, or 58.8 %, to $2.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to
$1.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The increase was mainly due to an increase in our research and development
expenses mainly related to preparations for the human clinical trial and general and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our capital requirements depend on many
factors, including the timing and extent of spending to further develop SIL204 and conduct pre-clinical and clinical trials, support research
and development efforts, investments in potential additional pipeline products, and increased overall compensation as we continue to hire
additional personnel. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we had net losses of $2.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.4 million.
To date, our principal sources of liquidity
have evolved together with our progression as a company. As a private company, we (i.e., Silexion Israel) raised proceeds from private
offerings of our ordinary shares and convertible preferred shares, grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority, issuance of convertible
financing agreements (CFA), and SAFE financings. Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, we raised funds from a PIPE in which Greenstar,
LP, an affiliate of the Moringa sponsor, purchased Moringa ordinary shares that converted automatically into Silexion ordinary shares.
Following the Closing, as a public company with ordinary shares and warrants registered under the Exchange Act and trading on Nasdaq,
we have obtained financings in various manners, including the following, which are described in greater detail below:
•
registered public offerings of ordinary shares and
pre-funded warrants, along with ordinary warrants, in January 2025 and September 2025 (as described below under “ Public Offerings
via H.C. Wainwright”) ;
•
warrant exercise inducement transactions, which were completed
in January 2025, August 2025 and May 2026 (as described below under “ Induced Warrant Exercise Transactions”);
•
additional warrant exercises, such as in connection with the
January 2025 and September 2025 public offerings, when investors exercised following the closing of those offerings an aggregate of 42,683
ordinary warrants and 445,000 Series B ordinary warrants issued in those respective offerings; and
•
ongoing
financings via the ATM Agreement, under which we raised approximately $0.08 million during March 2026 and furthermore received an investment
from certain investors in an aggregate amount of $0.75 million during April 2026; and an amount of $0.33 million during May 2026
•
ongoing financings via the ELOC Agreement (all of which were
completed during the year ended December 31, 2024).
We
furthermore anticipate additional ongoing financings via the ATM pursuant to the ATM Agreement with H.C. Wainwright, which provides
for the potential sale of up to $13.17 million of our ordinary shares under our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, of which $12.0
million remains available for sale as of the date of this quarterly report, as well as potential additional public offerings of ordinary
shares and (to the extent included in any such public offerings) pre-funded warrants and ordinary warrants.
Based on our current business plan,
we believe our current cash and cash equivalents, and anticipated cash flow from operations, will not be sufficient to meet our anticipated
cash requirements for the next 12 months, but rather only for several months, from the filing date of this quarterly report. We will need
to raise additional capital to finance our operations, expand our business and pipeline, maintain our compliance with the Nasdaq shareholders’
equity requirement, or for other reasons.

Assumption Regarding Going Concern
Note 1(d) to our unaudited consolidated
financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 included in this quarterly report and Note 1(g) to our audited consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the 2025 annual report describe the substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern as of those respective dates. Additionally, in its report accompanying our audited consolidated
financial statements included in the 2025 annual report, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph
stating that our recurring losses from operations and our cash outflows from operating activities raise substantial doubt as to our ability
to continue as a going concern. That means that our management and independent registered public accounting firm have expressed substantial
doubt about our ability to continue our operations without an additional infusion of capital from external sources. Our unaudited consolidated
financial statements included herein have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that may be necessary
should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to finance our operations, our business would be in jeopardy and
we might not be able to continue operations and might have to liquidate our assets. In that case, investors might receive less than the
value at which those assets are carried on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026, and it is likely that investors would
lose all or a part of their investment.
We have lease obligations and other
contractual obligations and commitments as part of our ordinary course of business. See [“ Note 5: Operating Leases ”
and “ Note 7: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities”] to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2025 included in our 2025 annual report for information about our lease obligations.
We did not have during the periods presented,
and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements involving commitments or obligations, including contingent obligations,
arising from arrangements with unconsolidated entities or persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future
effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, cash requirements or capital resources.
Public Offerings via H.C. Wainwright
On January 15, 2025 and January 17,
2025, and again on September 11, 2025 and September 12, 2025, we priced and closed, respectively, registered public offerings in which
we offered and sold, on a best efforts basis ordinary shares, pre-funded warrants and ordinary warrants, with H.C. Wainwright as the sole
placement agent (the “ January 2025 Offering ” and “ September 2025 Offering” ,
collectively, the “ HCW Offerings ”):
•
in the January 2025 Offering, (i) 143,067 ordinary
shares, (ii) 103,847 pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 103,847 ordinary shares and (iii) 246,914 ordinary warrants to purchase up
to 246,914 ordinary shares, at purchase prices of $20.25 per ordinary share and accompanying ordinary warrant, and $20.25 per pre-funded
warrant and accompanying ordinary warrant; and
•
in the September 2025 Offering, (i) 1,392,250 ordinary
shares, (ii) 107,750 pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 107,750 ordinary shares, (iii) 1,500,000 Series A ordinary warrants, each to
purchase one ordinary share, and (iv) 1,500,000 Series B ordinary warrants, each to purchase one ordinary share (the Series A ordinary
warrants and Series B ordinary warrants are collectively referred to as “ ordinary warrants ”), at a purchase
price of $4.00 per share and accompanying two ordinary warrants, and $3.9999 per pre-funded warrant and accompanying two ordinary warrants.
Aggregate gross proceeds from the
January 2025 Offering and September 2025 Offering (without taking into account any proceeds from any future exercises of warrants) were
approximately $5.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
10
The
pre-funded warrants from the HCW Offerings were immediately exercisable at exercise prices of $0.0015 and $0.0001 for the January 2025
Offering and September 2025 Offering, respectively, per ordinary share, and did not expire until exercised in full. The ordinary warrants
from the January 2025 Offering and September 2025 Offering had exercise prices of $20.25 and $4.00, respectively, per underlying ordinary
share, and were immediately exercisable. The ordinary warrants from the January 2025 Offering and Series A ordinary warrants from the
September 2025 Offering could be exercised for five years from issuance, while the Series B ordinary warrants from the September 2025
Offering could be exercised for a period of 12 months from issuance.
Holders
of the pre-funded and ordinary warrants do not have the right to exercise any portion of the warrants if the holder (together with parties
whose beneficial ownership of ordinary shares would be aggregated with the holder’s) would beneficially own ordinary shares in excess
of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the outstanding ordinary shares following exercise.
Certain investors in the HCW Offerings
entered into definitive securities purchase agreements with us, under which we agreed to abide by certain customary standstill restrictions
for periods of 60 days following the closing of those offerings. In addition, subject to limited exceptions, the agreements provided that
for a period of one year following the closing of the respective HCW Offerings, we will not effect or enter into an agreement to effect
a “variable rate transaction”, as defined in the agreements.
In accordance with our engagement agreement
with H.C. Wainwright , we paid to H.C. Wainwright aggregate cash placement agent fees equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by
us in the HCW Offerings, as well as management fees equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the HCW Offerings. We also reimbursed
H.C. Wainwright for certain of its expenses in connection with the offerings. Pursuant to the engagement agreement, we also issued to
H.C. Wainwright (or its designees) 17,284 and 105,000 placement agent warrants to purchase up to 17,284 and 105,000 ordinary shares, respectively,
in the two HCW Offerings, representing 7.0% of the sum of the shares and pre-funded warrants sold in the offerings. Those placement agent
warrants have exercise prices of $25.3125 and $5.00, respectively, per ordinary share (representing 125% of the public offering price
per ordinary share and accompanying ordinary warrant(s) in the respective offerings), are exercisable for five years from the date of
the commencement of sales in the HCW Offerings, and otherwise reflect substantially the same terms as the ordinary warrants sold in the
HCW Offerings.
The net proceeds to us from the HCW
Offerings were approximately $4.25 million and $5.20 million before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us. We are using
the proceeds from the HCW Offerings to advance our pre-clinical and clinical studies, and for general corporate purposes.
Induced Warrant Exercise Transactions
On
January 29, 2025, July 31, 2025, and May 15, 2026, we entered into inducement offer letter agreements with holders of 148,102, 152,106,
and 1,995,092, respectively, of our existing ordinary warrants. Those warrants had been issued in the January 2025 Offering, the January
2025 warrant exercise inducement transaction, the July 31/August 1, 2025 warrant exercise inducement transaction, and the September 2025
Offering. Under the warrant inducement offer letter agreements, on January 30, 2025, August 1, 2025, and May 15, 2026, the holders exercised
those warrants for cash and purchased 148,102, 152,106, and 1,995,092 ordinary shares, respectively, at cash exercise prices of $20.25,
$11.57 and $0.50 per share, respectively, and in consideration of our issuance to them of new ordinary warrants to purchase up to an aggregate
of 148,102, 304,212, and 3,990,184 ordinary shares, respectively, at exercise prices of $22.50, $11.32, and $0.50, respectively, per share.
In the January 2025 warrant exercise inducement transaction, the exercising holders also paid us an additional $1.88 per new ordinary
warrant issued to them. We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.3 million, $1.8 million, and $1.0 million from the exercise
of the existing warrants by the holders in January 2025, August 2025, and May 2026, respectively, before deducting placement agent fees
and other offering expenses payable by us.
11
We
engaged H.C. Wainwright to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the inducement letters
and paid H.C. Wainwright cash fees equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from the holders’ exercise of their existing
ordinary warrants, as well as management fees equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds from the exercise of those warrants. We also issued
to H.C. Wainwright or its designees placement agent warrants to purchase up to 10,368, 10,647, and 139,656 ordinary shares, respectively
(representing 7.0% of the existing ordinary warrants that were exercised in the respective transactions), which have the same terms as
the new warrants issued in the transactions, except that the placement agent warrants have exercise prices equal to $27.66 per share,
$14.46, and $0.50 per share, respectively (125% of (i) the sum of the exercise price of the existing warrants exercised, and the additional
$1.88 paid per new ordinary warrant, in the January 2025 transaction, (ii) the $11.57 exercise price of the existing warrants exercised,
in the August 2025 transaction, and (iii) the $0.50 exercise price of the existing warrants exercised, in the May 2026 transaction).
Similar
to the new ordinary warrants issued to investors in these transactions, the placement agent warrants became exercisable either immediately
from the date of issuance (in the case of the January 2025 warrant exercise transactions), upon approval by our shareholders of an increase
in our authorized share capital, which occurred on August 19, 2025 at our reconvened extraordinary general meeting (in the case of the
August 2025 induced warrant exercise transaction), and at approval by our shareholders of the induced warrant exercise transaction (in
the case of the May 2026 induced warrant exercise transaction). All new warrants and placement agent warrants issued in these transactions
remain exercisable until the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the resale registration statements filed to cover the resale
of shares underlying the new warrants and placement agent warrants (except for the new ordinary warrants issued in the May 2026 induced
warrant exercise transaction, of which 2,045,000 warrants, along with all placement agent warrants, have an exercise period of five years
and 1,945,184 warrants have an exercise period of 24 months (in each case, from the later of the initial exercise date and the effective
date of the resale registration statement). We also paid certain fees and expenses in connection with the induced warrant exercise transactions.
Upon exercise for cash of any new
warrants issued to investors in the transactions, in certain circumstances, we will (i) pay to H.C. Wainwright a cash fee of 7.0% of the
aggregate gross exercise price, and a cash management fee of 1.0% of the aggregate gross exercise price, and (ii) issue to H.C. Wainwright
warrants representing 7.0% of the ordinary shares issued to the investors upon such cash exercise of the new warrants.
We are using the net proceeds from
these transactions for general corporate purposes, R&D activities, and (in the case of the May 2026 induced warrant exercise transaction)
to support our Phase 2/3 clinical trial for SIL204 to be initiated in the second quarter of 2026.
Other Warrant Exercises
In addition to induced warrant exercise
transactions, we have also raised funds via additional exercises of ordinary warrants. On January 30, 2025, in connection with the closing
of the January 2025 Offering, investors exercised an aggregate of 42,683 ordinary warrants issued in that offering and we issued 42,683
underlying ordinary shares. The gross proceeds to our company from those warrant exercises was $0.9 million. On September 12, 2025, in
connection with the closing of the September 2025 Offering, investors exercised an aggregate of 445,000 Series B ordinary warrants issued
in that offering and we issued 445,000 underlying ordinary shares. The gross proceeds to our company from those warrant exercises was
$1.78 million.
At-The-Market Offering Agreement
Prospectively,
we expect to raise additional capital on an ongoing basis under our ATM. On September 26, 2025, we entered into the ATM Agreement with
H.C. Wainwright, as sales agent or principal, providing for the offer and sale from time to time of up to $13,170,000 of our ordinary
shares under the ATM, which ATM offering was registered under our Shelf Registration Statement. No sales were made under the ATM Agreement
during the third or fourth quarters of 2025, in part due to customary standstill restrictions on subsequent offerings imposed upon us
in connection with our September 2025 public offering. During the first quarter of 2026, we raised approximately $0.08 million (net of
sales agent fees) from the sale of 64,080 ordinary shares under the ATM. Furthermore, on April and May 2026, we sold an aggregate of 679,845
and 1,088,255 ordinary shares to certain investors pursuant to the ATM Agreement, at a price per share of $1.14 and an average price of
0.32, raising aggregate proceeds of $0.75 and 0.33 million (net of sales agent fees), respectively.
12
Settlement of Amounts Due Under Marketing
Agreement with EarlyBird
Prior to the Closing of the Business
Combination, Moringa reached agreement with EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., the representative of the underwriters of Moringa’s initial
public offering (“EarlyBird ” or “ EBC ”) on the reduction, to $1.6 million, in
the aggregate, of the fee payable to EBC under the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, dated February 16, 2021, entered into by
Moringa with EarlyBird in connection with Moringa’s initial public offering (the “ Marketing Agreement ”).
Pursuant to the final invoice provided by EBC under the Marketing Agreement, at the Closing, Moringa paid $350,000 of cash to EBC from
Moringa’s trust account (in which remaining proceeds from Moringa’s IPO had been maintained), and we issued to EBC a convertible
note (the “ EarlyBird Convertible Note ”), which was a convertible promissory note, due December 31, 2025,
in an amount of $1.25 million to be paid by us to EBC in cash and/or via conversion of outstanding amounts into ordinary shares.
The EarlyBird Convertible Note bore
interest at a rate of 6% per annum and by its terms was to mature on December 31, 2025. Through January 31, 2025, we made aggregate payments
of $407,556 to EBC in respect of some of the amounts due from us under the EarlyBird Convertible Note as a result of amounts raised by
us under the ELOC and the January 2025 Offering.
On March 13, 2025, we entered into a
letter agreement with EBC, pursuant to which we paid to EBC an additional amount of $400,000 (plus $15,000 for EBC’s legal expenses)
(the “ Settlement Prepayment Amount ”) and EBC agreed to the partial conversion and retirement of all remaining
amounts due under the EarlyBird Convertible Note. Under that letter agreement, EBC agreed that the $880,202 principal and interest amount
outstanding under the note as of the date of the letter agreement (the “ Outstanding Amount ”) would be retired
in consideration of: (i) our payment in cash of the Settlement Prepayment Amount; (ii) EBC’s conversion of a certain amount of the
principal and interest due under the EarlyBird Convertible Note (the “ Conversion Amount ”) via the issuance
by us to EBC of 18,519 ordinary shares (the “ EBC Settlement Shares ”), which Conversion Amount would equal
the net proceeds to be received by EBC from the sale of the EBC Settlement Shares; and (iii) the payment in cash by us to EBC of any remaining
amount due under the EarlyBird Convertible Note after deducting the Settlement Prepayment Amount and the Conversion Amount from the Outstanding
Amount (the “ Remaining Amount ”). The resale by EBC of the EBC Settlement Shares was registered under our
effective registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC file number 333-282556) as required by the EarlyBird Convertible Note.
On March 17, 2025, EBC sold all 18,519
EBC Settlement Shares under the foregoing Form S-1 registration statement for a Conversion Amount of $344,204, and on March 18, 2025,
we paid the Remaining Amount of $135,998 that was due to EBC, resulting in the retirement of the EarlyBird Convertible Note on March 18,
2025.
Issuance of, and Conversions Under, A&R
Sponsor Promissory Note
Effective as of the Closing, we issued
to the Moringa sponsor, and the Moringa sponsor accepted, in amendment and restatement, and replacement, in their entirety, of all existing
promissory notes issued by Moringa to the Moringa sponsor from Moringa’s initial public offering until the Closing (and as to which
the obligations of Moringa were assigned to Silexion upon the Closing), the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note in an amount of $3,433,000,
which reflected the total amount owed by Moringa to the sponsor through the Closing Date. The maturity date of the A&R Sponsor Promissory
Note is the 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date (i.e., February 15, 2027).
Amounts outstanding under the A&R
Sponsor Promissory Note may be repaid (unless otherwise decided by us) only by way of conversion into ordinary shares in accordance with
the terms set forth in the form of A&R Sponsor Promissory Note. Silexion and the Moringa sponsor may also convert amounts outstanding
under the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note at the price per share at which we conduct equity financings following the Closing, subject
to a minimum conversion amount of $100,000, in an amount of ordinary shares constituting up to thirty percent (30%) of the number of ordinary
shares issued and sold by us in such equity financing. The sponsor may also elect to convert amounts of principal outstanding under the
note into ordinary shares at any time following the 24-month anniversary of the date of the Closing, subject to a minimum conversion of
$10,000, at a price per share equal to the volume weighted average price of the ordinary shares on the principal market on which they
are traded during the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date.
13
On
September 15, 2025, in connection with the September 2025 Offering, we converted $1.8 million of principal outstanding under the A&R
Sponsor Promissory Note into 450,000 ordinary shares that we issued to the Moringa sponsor. As of March 31, 2026, the remaining principal
amount outstanding under the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note was $1,633,000. On May 14, 2026, in connection with the May 2026 induced
warrant exercise transaction and the sales under the ATM facility executed in May 2026, we converted $0.4 million of principal outstanding
under the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note into 925,004 ordinary shares that we issued to the Moringa sponsor. Following the foregoing
conversions under the Related Party Promissory Note, the remaining principal amount outstanding under the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note
was $1,229,000 of the date of this filing.
The Moringa sponsor (which is controlled
by our former director, Ilan Levin) has notified us that it disputes the conversion into ordinary shares under the terms of the convertible
note and has demanded repayment of the note in full . We believe that the conversion was carried out in strict compliance with the
substantive and procedural requirements of the note, and reject any claim to the contrary.
Government Grants
Our research and development efforts
have been financed, in part, through royalty-bearing grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority (the “ IIA ”).
As of March 31, 2026, we had received IIA royalty-bearing grants totaling approximately $5.8 million (all of which was received from grants
prior to the Closing of the Business Combination).
We are committed to pay royalties to
the IIA at a rate of approximately 3.0% to 5.0% of the sales of all of our product candidates and other related revenues generated from
such projects, that were developed, in whole or in part, using the IIA royalty-bearing grants we received under IIA programs up to the
total amount of royalty-bearing grants received, linked to the U.S. dollar and bearing annual interest at rates prescribed by the IIA’s
rules and guidelines.
We may in the future apply to receive
additional grants from the IIA. However, we cannot predict whether we will be entitled to any future grants, or the amounts of any such
grants.
Under the Israeli Innovation Law, research
and development programs that meet specified criteria and are approved by a committee of the IIA are eligible for grants. A company that
receives a royalty-bearing grant from the IIA is typically required to pay royalties to the IIA on income generated from products incorporating
IIA-funded know-how (including income derived from services associated with such products and from IIA-funded know-how), up to 100% of
the U.S. dollar-linked royalty-bearing grant amount plus interest.
The obligation to pay royalties is contingent
on actual income generated from such products and services. In the absence of such income, no payment of royalties is required.
As of March 31, 2026, the total royalty
amount that may be payable by our company is approximately $5.8 million ($6.8 million, including interest).

Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities
increased by approximately $1.1 million, or 44.0%, to $3.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.5 million
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. This increase was mainly due to an increase in prepayments attributed to R&D product
development subcontractors and consultants, primarily related to the GMP batch manufacturing of our drug product, to support the initiation
of the planned human clinical trial expected in the second quarter of 2026.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities
decreased by $7.3 million, or 98.6%, to approximately $0.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to $7.4 million
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was mainly due to our having raised only approximately $0.1 million (net
of sales agent fees) of cash under the ATM in the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, as opposed to in the three-month period ended
March 31, 2025, when we raised cash proceeds of (i) $5 million (offset in part by $0.7 million of issuance costs) in the January 2025
Offering, (ii) $0.9 million from the exercise of warrants, and (iii) $3.3 million from a warrant exercise inducement transaction (offset
in part by $0.4 million of transaction expenses), each, as described above under “ Liquidity and Capital Resources ”,
offset in part by $0.7 million of cash payments (the Settlement Prepayment Amount and the Remaining Amount) that we made under the EarlyBird
Convertible Note in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
Funding Requirements
We expect to devote substantial financial
resources to our ongoing and planned activities, particularly further development of SIL204 as we conduct our planned clinical trials.
Identifying potential product candidates
and conducting pre-clinical testing and clinical trials is a time-consuming, expensive, and uncertain process that takes years to complete,
and we may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain marketing approval and achieve product sales. In addition,
our product candidates, if approved, may not achieve commercial success. For additional information, please refer to Part I, Item 1A.
“ Risk Factors ” in our 2025 annual report, including “ Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Capital
Requirements — We have never generated any revenue from product sales and may never be profitable” and “Risks
Related to the Research and Development of Silexion’s Product Candidates-- We are heavily dependent on the success of our product
candidates ...”.
We expect our expenses to increase substantially
in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance our clinical trials for SIL204. In addition, if we obtain marketing
approval for SIL204 in any indication or for any other product candidate we are developing or may develop in the future, we expect to
incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, sales, marketing, and distribution. Furthermore, following
the Closing of the Business Combination, we have been incurring, and expect to continue to incur, additional costs associated with operating
as a public company. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding.
15
Our future capital requirements will
depend on many factors, including:
•
materials costs;
•
regulatory pathway; and
•
human clinical trial costs.
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and
cash equivalents of $2.4 million. Based on our current cash balance, as well as our history of operating losses and negative cash flows
from operations, combined with our anticipated use of cash to, among other things, (i) fund the preclinical and clinical development of
our products, (ii) identify and develop new product candidates, and (iii) seek approval for SIL204 and any other product candidates we
may develop, our management has concluded that we do not have sufficient cash to fund our operations for 12 months from the issuance date
of our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included in this quarterly report without additional
financing, and, as a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
In making this determination, applicable
accounting standards prohibited us from considering the potential mitigating effect of plans that have not been fully implemented as of
the date of our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, including, without limitation, plans to raise
additional capital. Our financial information throughout this quarterly report, and our financial statements for the quarter ended March
31, 2026 contained herein, have been prepared on a basis that assumes that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. This financial information
and our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
We currently estimate that our existing
cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund business operations for only several months from the filing date of this quarterly report.
We have based these estimates and expectations
on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and our operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to us. We could
not, as of the March 31, 2026 balance sheet date of the unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, determine
the exact level of funds that will be available to us upon potential equity financings. Our expected use of funds represents our intentions
based upon our current plans and business condition, which could change in the future as our plans and business condition evolve and the
level of funding available to us becomes clearer. In addition, changing circumstances could cause us to consume capital significantly
faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control.
As a result, we could deplete our capital resources sooner than we currently expect. In addition, because the successful development of
SIL204 and any studies or other product candidates that we pursue is highly uncertain, at this time we cannot reasonably estimate or know
the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the development of any product candidate.
Until such time, if ever, as we can
generate substantial revenues from product sales, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of public and private equity
offerings, including registered public offerings similar to the HCW Offerings completed in January 2025 and September 2025, warrant exercise
inducement transactions similar to those completed in late January 2025, early August 2025, and May 2026, ordinary-course sales of ordinary
shares into the market pursuant to the ATM Agreement, strategic alliances, collaborations, and marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements.
However, adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, and the availability of such financing
may be impacted by the economic climate and market conditions.
16
Reliance on public offerings, warrant
exercise inducement transactions, the ATM, or other similar types of equity financing as a source of ongoing funding for our operations
have in the past involved, and could again in the future involve, significant issuances of ordinary shares by us that could cause the
following impacts (among others):
•
significant dilution to the equity interests of
our current shareholders;
•
a deemed change of control of our company due to
the issuance of a substantial number of ordinary shares, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss
carry forwards, if any, and could result in a change in the officers and directors of our company relative to our current officers and
directors, to the extent any shareholders build up significant beneficial ownership from ordinary shares issued pursuant to public offerings,
warrant exercises, the ATM or conversions under the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note;
•
delaying or preventing a change of control of our
company by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control; and
•
an adverse effect on prevailing market prices for
our ordinary shares or warrants.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a description of our significant
accounting policies, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the 2025 annual
report and Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 included
in this quarterly report.
The preparation of our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and our consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with U.S. GAAP required our management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances
that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2026 and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in related footnotes. Actual results
may differ from these estimates. We base our judgments on our experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under
the circumstances.
Of our policies, the following are considered
critical to an understanding of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026
and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, as they require the application of subjective and complex
judgment, involving critical accounting estimates and assumptions impacting our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The critical accounting estimates relate
to the following:
Valuation of Promissory Notes
As part of the Business Combination,
we issued to the Moringa sponsor, as well as EarlyBird, promissory notes, which we irrevocably designated to be measured at fair value.
The EarlyBird Convertible Note was retired on March 18, 2025. In 2025, the fair value of the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note is measured
using a discount rate based on a B rated US dollar zero-coupon discount curve, plus a credit spread of 7.56%. The discount rate was determined
with reference to benchmark interest rates of secured loans reported by venture capitals, which were then used to extract our entity-specific
credit spread. Since the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note is not senior secured, one notch downgrade was applied. The expected timing of
conversion or redemption of the note has been determined using our management’s forecast. In 2026, valuation technique was changed
to a Monte Carlo simulation framework to model the expected conversion price at the Promissory Note’s maturity date, which is based
on a contractual 20-day average closing price mechanism.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 on page F-[18] to our financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the 2025 annual report for a description of recent accounting pronouncements
applicable to our financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025.
Smaller Reporting Company Status
We are a “smaller reporting company,”
meaning that the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less
than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We will continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the
market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during
the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. As a smaller
reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements and we have reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
Emerging Growth Company Status
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act
provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply
to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable.
We are an “emerging growth company”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, and have elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period
for new or revised financial accounting standards. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of
the fiscal year in which the market value of ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that
year’s second fiscal quarter, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion
or more during such fiscal year (as indexed for inflation), (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible
debt in the prior three-year, or (iv) December 31, 2029. We expect to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition
period, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This
may make it difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either
not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period
exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a “smaller reporting company”
as defined under paragraph (f) of Item 10 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC and are exempt from the disclosures under this Item
3 of Part I of Form 10-Q. We note that our funds are invested in demand-deposit interest-bearing bank accounts. The interest accruing
in those accounts is subject to fluctuation based on market changes in interest rates. We do not believe that any fluctuation in market
interest rates will materially impact the value of those funds in those accounts.
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that
are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such
as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Our management evaluated, with the participation
of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,
2026, pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act.
Based upon that evaluation, our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management evaluated, with the participation
of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting, pursuant to paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act.
Based upon that evaluation, our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during
the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

was declared effective by the SEC on July 16, 2024. That registration statement was in respect of the Business Combination, which met
the definition of a business combination under Rule 145(a) of the Securities Act. Accordingly, under paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 463 of the
Securities Act, no disclosure is required with respect to any use of proceeds of any offering proceeds (if any) related to that registration
statement.
