</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Protalix is a biopharmaceutical company. Its goal is to become a fully integrated
biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary
recombinant therapeutic proteins to be expressed through its proprietary plant cell based
expression system. Protalix&#146;s ProCellEx(TM) presents a proprietary method for the expression of
recombinant proteins that Protalix believes will allow for the cost-effective, industrial-scale
production of recombinant therapeutic proteins. Protalix is conducting a phase III pivotal study
for its lead product candidate, prGCD, to be used in enzyme replacement therapy for Gaucher
disease, a lysosomal storage disorder in humans. Protalix has reached an agreement with the United
States Food and Drug Administration on the final design of the pivotal phase III clinical trial
through the FDA&#146;s Special Protocol Assessment (SPA)&nbsp;process. Protalix has completed enrollment for
this study and is treating patients in its pivotal phase III clinical trial in North America, South
America, Israel, Europe and South Africa. Protalix is also advancing additional recombinant
biopharmaceutical drug development programs.
