(Nasdaq: PLUR) (TASE: PLUR) ("Pluri" or the "Company"), a leading biotechnology company that transforms cells into solutions, today announced that a reverse share split of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Common Shares") at a ratio of 1-for-8 is expected to be implemented at market open on April 1, 2024. The Company's Common Shares will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis at the market open on April 1, 2024, under the Company's existing trading symbol "PLUR", but will trade under a new CUSIP Number, 72942G203.

After giving effect to the reverse share split of the Company's Common Shares, each eight (8) Common Shares will be combined into one Common Share, such that the Company's 41,816,959 Common Shares outstanding will be reduced to approximately 5,227,120 Common Shares outstanding (the "Reverse Share Split"). In addition, the authorized capital shares of the Company are being reduced from 300,000,000 Common Shares to 37,500,000 Common Shares as a result of the Reverse Share Split and pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Section 78.207. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse split as any fractional shares resulting from the reverse split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share on a per shareholder basis.

The Board of Directors of the Company approved the action in accordance with Nevada law (NRS Section 78.207). No additional Company or shareholder approval is required because both the number of authorized Common Shares and the number of outstanding Common Shares will be proportionally reduced as a result of the Reverse Share Split, the Reverse Share Split will not adversely affect any other class of shares of the Company and the Company will not pay money or issue scrip to shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse split.

The reverse split will not impact any shareholder's percentage ownership of Pluri or voting power, except for minimal effects resulting from the treatment of fractional shares.

All options, unvested shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and warrants of the Company outstanding prior to the split will be appropriately adjusted.
