    <div style="text-align: center; line-height: 1.25; font-weight: bold;">Compugen Ltd.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;"><br style="line-height: 1.25;">
    </div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">As previously disclosed by Compugen Ltd. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;), on October 31, 2022, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock
        Market LLC (&#8220;Nasdaq&#8221;) notifying the Company that its ordinary shares (the &#8220;Shares&#8221;) failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive business days as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the &#8220;Minimum Bid Price
        Requirement&#8221;). The Company was given a period of 180 calendar days, or until May 1, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;"><br style="line-height: 1.25;">
    </div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">In April 2023, the Company submitted an application to Nasdaq to transfer the listing of its Shares from The Nasdaq Global Market to
        The Nasdaq Capital Market (the &#8220;Transfer&#8221;). On May 2, 2023, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department approved the Company&#8217;s request for the Transfer. The Transfer is expected to take effect at the opening of business on May 4, 2023. The
        Transfer is not expected to have any impact on trading in the Shares and the Shares will continue to trade uninterruptedly under the symbol &#8220;CGEN.&#8221; The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as The Nasdaq Global Market, and
        companies on The Nasdaq Capital Market must meet certain financial and corporate governance requirements to qualify for continued listing.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;"><br style="line-height: 1.25;">
    </div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">
      <div style="line-height: 1.25;">As a result of the expected Transfer, Nasdaq granted the Company a second period of 180 calendar days, or until October 30, 2023,
          to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for continued listing. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company&#8217;s Shares must be at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days on or prior to October 30,
          2023. Nasdaq&#8217;s determination to grant the additional 180-day compliance period was in part based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and
          the Company having provided Nasdaq with written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, including effecting a reverse share split, if necessary.</div>
    </div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;"><br style="line-height: 1.25;">
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; line-height: 1.25;">The Company intends to continue to actively monitor its
        compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and, as appropriate, will consider available options to resolve any deficiencies and regain compliance, including the implementation of a reverse share split, if necessary.</div>
