NOTE 1:-        GENERAL
 
 
a.
Compugen Ltd. (the "Company") and its subsidiary is a leading therapeutic product discovery company focused on therapeutic proteins and monoclonal antibodies to address important unmet needs in the fields of immunology and oncology. Unlike traditional high throughput trial and error experimental-based drug candidate discovery, the Company's discovery efforts are based on systematic and continuously improving in silico (by computer) product candidate prediction and selection followed by experimental validation, with selected product candidates being advanced in our Pipeline Program to the pre-IND stage. The Company's in silico predictive models utilize a broad and continuously growing infrastructure of proprietary scientific understandings and predictive platforms, algorithms, machine learning systems and other computational biology capabilities. The Company's business model primarily involves collaborations covering the further development and commercialization of in house-discovered product candidates and various forms of research and discovery agreements, in both cases providing us with potential milestone payments and royalties on product sales or other forms of revenue sharing.
 
The Company's headquarters are located in Israel, with research and development facilities in Israel and California through its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, Compugen USA, Inc. ("Compugen Inc.")
