Reverse Stock Split</B></P>

<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"><B>CARMIEL,&nbsp;Israel,</B> December&nbsp;9, 2019&nbsp;--&nbsp;Protalix
BioTherapeutics, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE American: PLX) (TASE: PLX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, production
and commercialization of recombinant therapeutic proteins produced by its proprietary ProCellEx<SUP>&reg;</SUP> plant cell-based
protein expression system, today announced that, at the Company&rsquo;s Special Meeting of Stockholders, its stockholders approved
an amendment to the Company&rsquo;s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-10
and to reduce the total number of authorized shares of the common stock from 350&nbsp;million shares to 120&nbsp;million shares.</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;We want to thank our stockholders for this important
vote and show of support for the Company,&rdquo; said Dror Bashan, Protalix&rsquo;s President and Chief Executive Officer. &ldquo;This
action is part of our plan to regain compliance with the continued listing guidelines of the NYSE American. We believe that the
reverse stock split will result in our common stock being more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors
which should further build value for our stockholders.&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 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company&rsquo;s common
stock is scheduled to become effective at midnight, December&nbsp;19, 2019. Beginning on December&nbsp;20, 2019, the Company&rsquo;s
common stock will trade on the NYSE American on a post-split basis under a new CUSIP number, 74365A 309. The Company&rsquo;s common
stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under the symbol &ldquo;PLX.&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; background-color: white">Upon effectiveness of the reverse stock
split, every 10 shares of the Company&rsquo;s outstanding common stock will be converted to one share of common stock. In addition,
a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of
all outstanding options entitling the holders to purchase common stock and to the conversion ratio of the Company&rsquo;s outstanding
7.5% convertible promissory notes due 2021.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">The reverse stock split will not affect
any stockholder&rsquo;s ownership percentage of the Company&rsquo;s common stock, except to the extent that the reverse stock split
would result in any stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock
split. The number of outstanding shares will be reduced from approximately 148.38&nbsp;million shares to approximately 14.84&nbsp;million
shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">Registered stockholders holding their
shares of common stock in book-entry or through a bank, broker or other nominee form do not need to take any action in connection
with the reverse stock split. For those stockholders holding physical stock certificates, the Company&rsquo;s transfer agent, American
Stock Transfer &amp; Trust Company, LLC, will send instructions for exchanging those certificates for new certificates representing
the post-split number of shares. American Stock Transfer &amp; Trust Company, LLC can be reached at 877-248-6417 (toll free) or
718-921-8317.</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<SUP>&reg;</SUP>. Protalix was the first company to gain U.S.&nbsp;Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of a protein
produced through plant cell-based in suspension expression system. Protalix&rsquo;s unique expression system represents a new method
for developing recombinant proteins in an industrial-scale manner. Protalix&rsquo;s first product manufactured by ProCellEx, taliglucerase
alfa, was approved for marketing by the&nbsp;U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May 2012 and, subsequently, by the regulatory
authorities of other countries.&nbsp; Protalix has licensed to Pfizer Inc. the worldwide development and commercialization rights
for taliglucerase alfa, excluding Brazil, where Protalix retains full rights.&nbsp;Protalix&rsquo;s development pipeline consists
of proprietary, potentially clinically superior versions of recombinant therapeutic proteins that target established pharmaceutical
markets, including the following product candidates: pegunigalsidase alfa, a modified version of the recombinant human alpha-GAL-A
protein for the treatment of Fabry disease; OPRX-106, an orally-delivered anti-inflammatory treatment; alidornase alfa for the
treatment of Cystic Fibrosis; and others.&nbsp; Protalix has partnered with Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A., both in the United States
and outside the United States, for the development and commercialization of pegunigalsidase alfa.</P>
