In connection with the previously disclosed legal proceedings initiated by Capital Point Ltd. (“Capital Point”) on June 13, 2019 in the District Court of Tel Aviv, on July 9, 2019, Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (the “Company”) filed an appeal to the Supreme Court appealing a decision of the District Court, given on June 30, 2019, compelling the Company to convene a special shareholders’ meeting to replace its directors. The District Court subsequently temporarily stayed execution of the decision and on July 9, 2019, the Company filed with the Supreme Court a motion to stay execution of the District Court decision pending a decision on the appeal. On the same day, the Supreme Court granted the motion on a temporary basis pending any other decision. The Company intends to continue vigorously defending itself in this matter. The Company’s related action that it initiated against Capital Point in the District Court of Tel Aviv is still pending.
