<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Protalix is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development
and commercialization of recombinant therapeutic proteins expressed through its proprietary plant cell-based expression system,
ProCellEx&reg;. Protalix's unique expression system presents a proprietary method for developing recombinant proteins in a cost-effective,
industrial-scale manner. Protalix's first product manufactured by ProCellEx, taliglucerase alfa, was approved for marketing by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May 2012, by Israel's Ministry of Health in September 2012, by the Brazilian National
Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) in March 2013, by the Mexican Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risk (COFEPRIS)
in April 2013, by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in May 2014 and by the regulatory authorities of other
countries. Marketing applications for taliglucerase alfa have been filed in additional territories as well. Protalix has partnered
with Pfizer Inc. for the worldwide development and commercialization of taliglucerase alfa, excluding Israel and Brazil, where
Protalix retains full rights. Protalix's development pipeline includes the following product candidates: PRX-102, a modified version
of the recombinant human alpha-GAL-A protein for the treatment of Fabry disease; PRX-112, an orally-delivered glucocerebrosidase
enzyme that is produced and encapsulated within carrot cells, for the treatment of Gaucher disease; pr-antiTNF, a similar plant
cell version of etanercept (Enbrel&reg;) for the treatment of certain immune and inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis,
Crohn's disease, colitis, psoriasis and other autoimmune and inflammatory disorders; PRX-110 for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis;
and others.</P>

These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual future experience

to such future outcomes. Drug discovery and development involve a high degree of risk. Factors that might cause material differences
include, among others: risks related to management transitions; risks related to the commercialization of our drug product; failure
or delay in the commencement or completion of our clinical trials which may be caused by several factors, including: unforeseen
safety issues; determination of dosing issues; lack of effectiveness during clinical trials; slower than expected rates of patient
recruitment; inability to monitor patients adequately during or after treatment; inability or unwillingness of medical investigators
and institutional review boards to follow our clinical protocols; and lack of sufficient funding to finance clinical trials; the
risk that the results of the clinical trials of our product candidates will not support our claims of safety or efficacy, that
our product candidates will not have the desired effects or will be associated with undesirable side effects or other unexpected
characteristics; our dependence on performance by third party providers of services and supplies, including without limitation,
clinical trial services; delays in our preparation and filing of applications for regulatory approval; delays in the approval or
potential rejection of any applications we file with the FDA or other health regulatory authorities, and other risks relating to
the review process; the inherent risks and uncertainties in developing drug platforms and products of the type we are developing;
the impact of development of competing therapies and/or technologies by other companies and institutions; potential product liability
risks, and risks of securing adequate levels of product liability and other necessary insurance coverage; and other factors described
in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The statements in this release are valid only as of the date hereof
