WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE; VOTE REQUIRED; QUORUM

As of January 30, 2018, the record date, there were 104,412,510 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, which constitutes all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by them.

33.33% of the 104,412,510 outstanding shares of capital stock, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting. For purposes of the quorum and the discussion below regarding the vote necessary to take stockholder action, stockholders of record who are present at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy and who abstain, including brokers holding customers’ shares of record who cause abstentions to be recorded at the Special Meeting, are considered stockholders who are present and entitled to vote and are counted towards the quorum. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on January 30, 2018 are entitled to receive notice of, to attend, and to vote at the Special Meeting. Information about the stockholdings of our directors and executive officers is contained in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.” Pursuant to the Company Bylaws, if a quorum fails to attend the Special Meeting, the chair of the Special Meeting may adjourn the Special Meeting to another place, date, and time.

Brokers holding shares of record for customers generally are not entitled to vote on “non-routine” matters, unless they receive voting instructions from their customers. As used herein, “uninstructed shares” means shares held by a broker who has not received voting instructions from its customers on a specific proposal. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding uninstructed shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that non-routine matter. In connection with the treatment of abstentions and broker non-votes, the approval of the Reverse Stock Split (Proposal 1) is considered a non-routine matter. Accordingly, brokers are not entitled to vote uninstructed shares with respect to Proposal No. 1.

We strongly encourage you to provide voting instructions to brokers holding shares in order to ensure your shares will be voted at the Special Meeting in the manner you desire.

What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?

Some of our stockholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially in street name.

Stockholder of Record

If on January 30, 2018 your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer LLC, you are considered a stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the proxy materials, including a proxy card, were sent directly to you by the Company. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the proxy card to us, including voting over the Internet. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, if you do not vote over the Internet, please complete, date, sign and return a proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted.

3

Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name

If on January 30, 2018 your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, or other nominee holder, then you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the proxy materials, including a voter instruction form, were forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Special Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Special Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from the organization. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you will receive a voter instruction form.

How Do I Vote?

Stockholders of Record. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by any of the following methods:

If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the organization that holds your shares will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”We strongly encourage you to provide voting instructions to brokers holding shares in order to ensure your shares will be voted at the Special Meeting in the manner you desire.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you may vote by any of the following methods:

        indicate when voting on the Internet that you wish to vote as recommended by the Board of Directors, or

        sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions,

Other Matters


The board of directors does not know of any other matter that will be presented for your consideration at the meeting other than the two proposals described herein.


PROPOSAL NO. 1:  ELECTION OF DIRECTORS


At the annual meeting, five nominees will be elected as directors.  Our board of directors currently consists of five members, all of whom are standing for re-election at the annual meeting.  The directors elected at the annual meeting will serve until the earlier of (i) the next annual meeting where directors will be appointed, (ii) such director’s successor is elected and qualified, or (iii) until such director’s earlier resignation or removal.


Our board of directors has nominated each of Dr. Pnina Fishman, Dr. Ilan Cohn, Guy Regev, Dr. Roger Kornberg, and Dr. Michael Belkin to stand for re-election at the annual meeting.


When analyzing whether directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, individually and taken as a whole, the board of directors focus on the information as summarized in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth beginning on page 3 in this Information Statement.  The board selected Dr. Fishman to serve as a director because of her extensive scientific track record, biotechnology management expertise, preclinical and clinical trials management capabilities and her deep acquaintance with Can-Fite and its CF101 technology.  The board selected Dr. Cohn to serve as a director because of his expertise in intellectual property and licensing transactions, his business development experience and his deep acquaintance with Can-Fite and its technology.  The board selected Mr. Regev to serve as a director because of his financial background and experience in accounting, financial and general management.  The board selected Dr. Kornberg to serve as a director because of his academic and practical experience in the pharmaceutical industry and his world renown as a leading scientist.  The board selected Dr. Belkin to serve as a director because of his deep medical and entrepreneurial expertise in the ophthalmic field.


These director nominees will be voted upon by the holders of our common stock at the annual meeting.


We expect each of the five director nominees to be able to serve, if elected.  If any nominee is not able to serve, ballots will be counted to determine the election of the remainder of those nominated.


Each director nominee so elected at the annual meeting will hold office until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal.


Vote Required and Recommendation of Our Board of Directors


The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the annual meeting is required for the election of each of the five director nominees.  You may vote “for” or “against” one or more director nominees or you may “abstain” as to one or more director nominees.  A properly executed ballot marked “abstain” as to the election of one or more director nominees will not be counted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.  Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for directors.


Our board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the election

of each of the director nominees named above.

* Nominee for re-election at the 2014 annual shareholders meeting.




Directors are elected to hold office until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal.  Annual meetings of the stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire, are to be held at such time each year as designated byapprove granting the Board of Directors which date shall be within 13 months of the last annual meeting of stockholders.  Officers of the Company are elected by the Board of Directors, which is requiredauthority, in its sole direction, to consider that subject at its first meeting after every annual meeting of stockholders.  Each officer holds his office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.


There are no family relationships between any director, executive officer, or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director.


Director Independence


Our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or inapprove an inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that directors be independent.  Therefore, we have adopted the independence standards of the NYSE MKT LLC (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange) to determine the independence of our directors and those directors serving on our committees.  These standards provide that a person will be considered an independent director if he or she is not an officer of the company and is, in the view of the company’s board of directors, free of any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment.  Our board of directors has determined that Roger Kornberg and Michael Belkin meet this standard, and therefore, would be considered to be independent.


Legal Proceedings


During the past ten years there have been no events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no judgments, injunctions, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any of our directors or executive officers.


We are not aware of any legal proceedings in which any director, officer or affiliate of our company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of any class of our voting securities, or any associate of any such director, officer, or affiliate of our company, or security holder is a party adverse to us or our subsidiary or has a material interest adverse to us or our subsidiary.


Code of Ethics


We have not adopted a code of ethics that appliesamendment to our officers, directors and employees but planCertificate of Incorporation to do so during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.


Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors


During 2013, the Board of Directors held 12 meetings and acted by unanimous written consent seven times.  Dr. Fishman and Messrs. Cohn and Regev attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the board of directors and committees (if any) on which they served that were held during 2013.  Dr. Belkin, who was appointed aseffect a director on July 2, 2013, attended at least 75% of the total meetings of the board of directors and committees, if any, during the portion of 2013 during which he served as a director.  The annual meeting of shareholders was held on May 9, 2013 at which Dr. Fishman was present.


We currently have no committees organized but we plan to organize an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.  Because of its small size, the Board carries out the duties of the committees. In selecting nominees for directorships, the Board considers a broad range of characteristics related to qualifications, background and diversity of nominees based on our current business needs.  The Board has not adopted written guidelines regarding nominees for director.  There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.


Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight


In accordance with our Bylaws, the Board elects our officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and such other officers as the Board may appoint from time to time.  The Board has currently separated the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Pnina Fishman currently serves as our Chairman and Barak Singer currently serves as our Chief Executive Officer.  The Board periodically considers whether changes to our overall leadership structure are appropriate.




Our Chairman is responsible for chairing meetings of the Board.  Our Bylaws provide that if our Chairman is unable to preside at meetings of the Board, our Chief Executive Officer, if such officer is a director, shall preside at such meetings.  Our Chairman is also responsible for chairing meetings of shareholders.  In her absence, the Board may appoint another party to chair the shareholders’ meeting.


Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success.  We face a number of risks, including strategic risks, enterprise risks, financial risks, regulatory risks, and others.  Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the company faces, while our board of directors, as a whole, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management.  In its risk oversight role, our board of directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.


The Board believes that full and open communication between management and the Board is essential for effective risk management and oversight.  Our Chairman meets regularly with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to discuss strategy and risks facing our business.  Senior management attends board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by our board of directors on risk management-related and any other matters.  The Board receives presentations from senior management on strategic matters involving our operations and intends to hold regular strategic planning sessions with senior management to discuss strategies, key challenges, and risks and opportunities for our business.


Communications by Stockholders with Directors


The Company encourages stockholder communications to our board of directors and/or individual directors.  Stockholders who wish to communicate with our board of directors or an individual director should send their communications to the care of Ronen Kantor, Secretary, OphthaliX Inc., 12 Abba Hillel Silver Road, Ramat Gan, Israel 52506.  Mr. Kantor will maintain a log of such communications and will transmit as soon as practicable such communications to the Chairman of the Board or to the identified individual director(s), although communications that are abusive, in bad taste or that present safety or security concerns may be handled differently, as determined by Mr. Kantor.


Director Attendance at Annual Meetings


We will make every effort to schedule our annual meeting of stockholders at a time and date to accommodate attendance by directors taking into account the directors’ schedules.  While all directors are encouraged to attend our annual meeting of stockholders, there is no formal policy as to their attendance at annual meetings of stockholders.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

grant the Board of Directors the authority, in its sole direction, to approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock by a ratio of not less than one-for-tEN and not more than one-for-TWO hundred at any time prior to FEBRUARY 19, 2019, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range as determined by the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors has approved and is seeking stockholder approval of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to implement the Reverse Stock Split.

The amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split of our issued and outstanding common stock, if approved by the stockholders, will be substantially in the form set forth onAppendix A (subject to any changes required by applicable law). If approved by the holders of our common stock, the Reverse Stock Split proposal would permit (but not require) our Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at any time prior to February 19, 2019 by a ratio of not less than one-for-ten and not more than one-for-two hundred, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range as determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

In determining a ratio, if any, following the receipt of stockholder approval, our Board of Directors may consider, among other things, factors such as:

        the historical trading price and trading volume of our common stock;

        the number of shares of our common stock outstanding;

        the then-prevailing trading price and trading volume of our common stock and the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading market for our common stock;

        the anticipated impact of a particular ratio on our ability to reduce administrative and transactional costs; and

        prevailing general market and economic conditions.

Our Board of Directors reserves the right to elect to abandon the Reverse Stock Split, including any or all proposed reverse stock split ratios, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Reverse Stock Split is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Depending on the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split determined by our Board of Directors, no less than ten and no more than two hundred shares of existing common stock, as determined by our Board of Directors, will be combined into one share of common stock. Any fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole number. The amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split, if any, will include only the Reverse Stock Split ratio determined by our Board of Directors to be in the best interests of our stockholders and all of the other proposed amendments at different ratios will be abandoned.

Background and Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split; Potential Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The Board of Directors believes that the Reverse Stock Split is advisable because the expected increase to the market price of our common stock as a result of implementing the Reverse Stock Split is expected to improve the marketability and liquidity of our common stock and is expected to encourage interest and trading in our common stock. The Reverse Stock Split could allow a broader range of institutions to invest in our stock (namely, investors that are prohibited from buying stocks whose price is below a certain threshold), potentially increasing the liquidity of our common stock. In particular, we believe that many of our current and potential stockholders, who are located in Israel, cannot trade in our common stock when the stock price is below $1.00 per share. The Reverse Stock Split could help increase analyst and broker interest in our stock as their policies can discourage them from following or recommending companies with low stock prices. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage firms and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in

9

low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of our common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher.

We would like to eventually apply for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market or another national securities exchange. By potentially increasing our stock price, the Reverse Stock Split could potentially increase our minimum bid or share price required for the initial listing requirements for, for example, the NASDAQ Capital Market. Our common stock is currently traded on the OTCQB under the symbol “WIZP.” As of January 30, 2018, our stock price was $0.14 per share. At the present time, we do not have any immediate plans or any agreements or understandings to uplist to a national securities exchange. The NASDAQ Capital Market requires, among other items, an initial bid price of least $4.00 per share and following the initial listing (subject to certain exceptions), the maintenance of a continued price of at least $1.00 per share. Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock should, absent other factors, increase the per share market price of our common stock, although we cannot provide any assurance that our minimum bid price would remain following the Reverse Stock Split over the minimum bid price requirement of any such stock exchange.

The Company currently does not have any plans, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, to issue any of the authorized but unissued shares that would become available as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition to increasing the market price of our common stock, the Reverse Stock Split would also reduce certain of our costs, as discussed below. Accordingly, for these and other reasons discussed below, we believe that effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in the Company’s and our stockholders’ best interests.

While reducing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock through the Reverse Stock Split is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of our common stock, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, that the market price of our common stock will increase following the Reverse Stock Split or that the market price of our common stock will not decrease in the future. Additionally, we cannot assure you that the market price per share of our common stock after a Reverse Stock Split will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split.

Procedure for Implementing the Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Stock Split, if approved by our stockholders, would become effective upon exercisethe filing (the “Effective Time”) of vested options.a certificate of amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The exact timing of the filing of the certificate of amendment that will effect the Reverse Stock Split will be determined by our Board of Directors based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to the Company and our stockholders. In addition, our Board of Directors reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by the stockholders, to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split if, at any time prior to filing the certificate of amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in our best interest and the best interests of our stockholders to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split. If a certificate of amendment effecting the Reverse Stock Split has not been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware by the close of business on February 19, 2019, our Board of Directors will abandon the Reverse Stock Split.

The actual number of shares issued after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, will depend on the Reverse Stock Split ratio that is ultimately determined by our Board of Directors.

(11)The Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of our common stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except that as described below in “Fractional Shares,” record holders of common stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the next whole number. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will not affect any stockholder’s proportionate voting power (subject to the treatment of fractional shares).

Includes (i) 200,000The Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of common stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

After the Effective Time, our common stock will have new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (CUSIP) numbers, which is a number used to identify our equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP numbers will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP numbers by following the procedures described below. Our common stock will continue to be quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “WIZP”, subject to any decision of our Board of Directors to list our securities on a national securities exchange.

Beneficial Holders of Common Stock (i.e. stockholders who hold in street name)

Upon the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, we intend to treat shares held by stockholders through a bank, broker, custodian, or other nominee in the same manner as registered warrants (Series 10)stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, custodians, or other nominees will be instructed to purchase 8,000 ordinaryeffect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding our common stock in street name. However, these banks, brokers, custodians, or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who hold shares at an exercise price of NIS 0.394 per warrantour common stock with a bank, broker, custodian, or other nominee and expiringwho have any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees.

Registered “Book-Entry” Holders of Common Stock (i.e. stockholders that are registered on October 31, 2015, (ii) 400,000the transfer agent’s books and records but do not hold stock certificates)

Certain of our registered warrants (Series 11)holders of common stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the common stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts.

Stockholders who hold shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent will not need to purchase 16,000 ordinarytake action (the exchange will be automatic) to receive whole shares at an exercise price of NIS 0.392 per warrantpost-Reverse Stock Split common stock, subject to adjustment for treatment of fractional shares.

Holders of Certificated Shares of Common Stock

Stockholders holding shares of our common stock in certificated form will be sent a transmittal letter by our transfer agent after the Effective Time. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how a stockholder should surrender his, her or its certificate(s) representing shares of our common stock (the “Old Certificates”) to the transfer agent in exchange for certificates representing the appropriate number of whole shares of post-Reverse Stock Split common stock (the “New Certificates”). No New Certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered all Old Certificates, together with a properly completed and expiring on April 30, 2016.

Warrants


A total of 1,203,448 warrants were issued in connection with the reverse merger transaction which took placeReverse Stock Split. Therefore, we will not issue certificates representing fractional shares. In lieu of issuing fractions of shares, we will round up to the next whole number.

Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on November 21, 2011. It includes 598,438 warrants with anany Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Units, Warrants, and Convertible or Exchangeable Securities

Based upon the Reverse Stock Split ratio determined by the Board of Directors, proportionate adjustments are generally required to be made to the per share exercise price and the number of $5.148shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities (including investment rights) entitling the holders to purchase, exchange for, or convert into, shares of common stock. This would result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities upon exercise, and 605,010 warrants with anapproximately the same value of shares of common stock being delivered upon such exercise, priceexchange or conversion, immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as was the case immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split. The number of $7.74.shares deliverable upon settlement or vesting of restricted stock awards, if any, will be similarly adjusted, subject to our treatment of fractional shares. The number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to these securities will be proportionately based upon the Reverse Stock Split ratio determined by the Board of Directors, subject to our treatment of fractional shares.


Accounting Matters

ChangeThe proposed amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Control

The Reverse Stock Split should be treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, a stockholder generally will not recognize gain or loss on November 21, 2011, through December 31, 2012, Eyefite paid $1,470,362the Reverse Stock Split, except to Can-Fite for its services.  Can-Fite has agreed to defer receiving payments owed under the Services Agreement from January 31, 2013 for the performanceextent of clinical trials of CF101cash, if any, received in ophthalmic indications until the completionlieu of a fundraising byfractional share interest in the Company and in no event in excesspost-Reverse Stock Split shares. The aggregate tax basis of the available cashpost-split shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the Company after the fulfillment of its obligations to other creditors at that time. We will pay interest at the rate of 3% per annum from the date of each quarterly invoice issued by Can-Fite until the deferred payment is satisfied. On February 28, 2013, the Board of Directors approved Can-Fite’s offer to defer payments under the Agreement. As December 31, 2013 the deferred payments to Can-Fite totaled $1,473,000. Dr. Fishman, our Chairman, is also the Chief Executive Officer of Can-Fite and Messrs. Cohn and Regev, two of our directors, are also directors of Can-Fite.  Barak Singer, our Chief Executive Officer, is also VP business Development of Can-Fite. Itay Weinstein, our Chief Financial Officer, is also the controller for Can-Fite.


Also in connection with the Transaction, we issued a warrant agreement (the “Warrant”) to Can-Fite by which Can-Fite has the right, atpre-split shares exchanged therefore (excluding any time from November 21, 2011, until the earlier of (a) the November 21, 2016 and (b) the closingportion of the acquisition of our Company by another entity, resulting inholder’s basis allocated to fractional shares), and the exchangeholding period of the our outstanding post-split

shares such thatreceived will include the holding period of the pre-split shares exchanged. A holder of the pre-split shares who receives cash will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the portion of the tax basis of the pre-split shares allocated to the fractional share interest and the cash received. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss and will be short term if the pre-split shares were held for one year or less and long term if held more than one year. No gain or loss will be recognized by us as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

No Appraisal Rights

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity, to convert its right to an additional fee (equal to 2.5% of any revenues received by the Company for rights to CF101 from third-party sublicenses including upfront payments, developmental or commercial milestones, royalties and any similar payments) under the Services Agreement into 480,022 shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances).  The per share purchase price for the shares shall be $5.148.  The Warrant may be exercised on either a cash or a cashless basis, provided that if the Warrant is exercised on a cashless basis, the Warrant must be exercised in whole, not in part.  


Also in connection with the Transaction, we issued to Can-Fite and each of the other investors in the Transaction, for each four shares of the Company’s common stock purchased in the financing accord as part of the Transaction, nine warrants valid for a period of five years from the closing of the Transaction to acquire two share of the Company for an exercise price of $7.74. Can-Fite owns 281,626 warrants according to this arrangement.
