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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">CARMIEL, Israel, October 25, 2016 -- Protalix BioTherapeutics,
Inc. (NYSE MKT:PLX) (TASE:PLX), announced today that the first patient has been dosed in its global phase III clinical trial of
PRX-102 for the treatment of Fabry disease. There are currently six of the leading Fabry centers activated and participating in
the trial, with up to an additional 21 centers, currently in different initiation processes, that are expected to be opened before
year end.</P>

<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">&ldquo;The phase III Fabry trial is extremely important to the
Company and remains a major focus for our team. We are pleased to announce the first patient has been infused, a milestone we have
been working towards,&rdquo; said Mr. Moshe Manor, Protalix&rsquo;s President and Chief Executive Officer. &ldquo;Interest from
the physician and patient community in the trial is high, and a number of patients have already gone through the screening process.
The trial has certain stringent inclusion criteria in place to maximize the likelihood of demonstrating superiority. Once all the
anticipated trial sites are up and running, which we anticipate completing around year end, we will provide guidance regarding
expected enrollment completion.&rdquo;</P>

<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">The phase III efficacy and safety clinical trial, which we refer
to as the BALANCE Study, is a 24-month multi-center, randomized, double-blind, active control study of PRX-102 for the treatment
of Fabry disease in Fabry patients with impaired renal function. The trial is designed to enroll 78 patients previously treated
with Fabrazyme<SUP>&reg;</SUP> (agalsidase beta) with a stable dose for at least six months. Enrolled patients will be randomized
to continue treatment with 1 mg/kg of either Fabrazyme or PRX-102, at a 2:1 ratio of PRX-102 to Fabrazyme, respectively. Patients
are to be treated via intravenous (IV) infusions every two weeks.</P>

<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">The sites are recruiting adult symptomatic Fabry patients with
plasma and/or leucocyte alpha galactosidase activity (by activity assay) less than 30% mean normal levels. All patients must have
had treatment with a dose of 1 mg/kg agalsidase beta per infusion every two weeks for at least one year. In addition, to be included
in the trial, patients need to have certain eGFR values and a meaningful decline in annualize eGFR slope.</P>
