  • an Offering Agreement prospectus supplement covering the offering, issuance, and sale of the registrant's ordinary shares that, may be issued and sold under an at-the-market offering agreement, or the Offering Agreement, between the registrant and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, or Wainwright, in an aggregate amount of up to $20,644,000.

The base prospectus immediately follows this explanatory note. The specific terms of any securities to be offered pursuant to the base prospectus will be specified in a prospectus supplement to the base prospectus. The Offering Agreement prospectus supplement immediately follows the base prospectus. The ordinary shares that may be offered, issued, and sold under the Offering Agreement prospectus supplement are included in the $250,000,000 of securities that may be offered, issued and sold by the registrant under the base prospectus. Upon termination of the Offering Agreement, any portion of the $20,644,000 included in the Offering Agreement prospectus supplement that is not sold pursuant to the Offering Agreement will be available for sale in other offerings pursuant to the base prospectus, and if no shares are sold under the Offering Agreement, the full $20,644,000 of securities may be sold in other offerings pursuant to the base prospectus.

Ordinary Shares

American Depositary Shares Representing Ordinary Shares

Warrants

Units

We may offer, issue, and sell from time to time up to $250,000,000 of our ordinary shares, including in the form of American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, warrants to purchase ordinary shares, including in the form of ADSs, debt securities, subscription rights and a combination of such securities, separately or as units, in one or more offerings.

Each ADS represents 15 ordinary shares. This prospectus provides a general description of offerings of these securities that we may undertake.

We refer to the ADSs, ordinary shares, debt securities, subscription rights, warrants and units, collectively, as the "securities" in this prospectus. We may offer, issue, and sell the securities at an aggregate public offering price that will not exceed $250,000,000.

Other than in connection with the exercise of certain outstanding warrants, each time we sell securities pursuant to this prospectus, we will provide in a supplement to this prospectus the price and any other material terms of any such offering. Any prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, as well as the documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference into this prospectus, carefully before you invest in any securities. This prospectus may not be used to offer or sell securities unless accompanied by a prospectus supplement.

We may, from time to time, offer to sell the securities, through public or private transactions, directly or through underwriters, agents or dealers, on or off the Nasdaq Capital Market, at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. If any underwriters, agents or dealers are involved in the sale of any of these securities, the applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the names of the underwriter, agent or dealer and any applicable fees, commissions or discounts.

Our ADSs are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "BLRX." On December 28, 2023, the closing price of our ADSs on Nasdaq was $1.56 per ADS. Our ordinary shares also trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or the TASE, under the symbol "BLRX". On December 28, 2023, the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares on the TASE was NIS 0.384 or $0.106 per share (based on the exchange rate reported by the Bank of Israel on the same day).

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Please carefully consider the risks discussed in this prospectus under "Risk Factors" beginning on page 3 and the "Risk Factors" in "Item 3: Key Information- Risk Factors" of our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any applicable prospectus supplement for a discussion of the factors you should consider carefully before deciding to purchase these securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Israel Securities Authority nor any state or other foreign securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a Registration Statement on Form F-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, utilizing a "shelf" registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may sell our securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $250,000,000. This prospectus does not contain all the information set forth in the registration statement, certain parts of which are omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, you should refer to the registration statement and its exhibits for further information about us and our securities. Copies of the registration statement and its exhibits are on file with the SEC. Statements contained in this prospectus concerning the documents we have filed with the SEC are not intended to be comprehensive, and in each instance, we refer you to a copy of the actual document filed as an exhibit to the registration statement or otherwise filed with the SEC.

Each time we offer our securities, we will provide you with a prospectus supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices, and terms of the securities we offer. The prospectus supplement may also add, update, or change information contained in this prospectus. This prospectus, together with applicable prospectus supplements and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplements, includes all material information relating to this offering.

You should rely only on the information incorporated by reference or provided in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement.

We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. We are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, our securities only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. We are not making, nor will we make, an offer to sell securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus and any supplement to this prospectus is current only as of the dates on their respective covers. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

We prepare our financial statements in United States dollars and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards

Board.

OUR BUSINESS

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus that we consider important. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our securities. You should read this summary together with the entire prospectus, including the risks related to our business, our industry, investing in our ADSs and our location in Israel, that we describe under "Risk Factors" and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included at the end of this prospectus before making an investment in our securities.

We are a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on oncology. Our current development and commercialization pipeline consists of motixafortide (BL-8040), a novel peptide for the treatment of stem-cell mobilization and solid tumors, which on September 8, 2023, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for use in combination with filgrastim (G-CSF) to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells to the peripheral blood for collection and subsequent autologous transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma, and AGI-134, an immuno-oncology agent in development for solid tumors. In addition, we have an off-strategy, legacy therapeutic product called BL-5010 for the treatment of skin lesions. We have generated our pipeline by systematically identifying, rigorously validating and in-licensing therapeutic candidates that we believe exhibit a high probability of therapeutic and commercial success. To date, except for motixafortide and BL-5010, none of our therapeutic candidates have been approved for marketing or commercial sale. Our strategy includes commercializing our therapeutic candidates by way of out-licensing arrangements with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies and evaluating, on a case-by-case basis, the commercialization of our therapeutic candidates independently. In this regard, we are currently executing on an independent commercialization plan for motixafortide in stem cell mobilization for autologous bone marrow transplantation in multiple myeloma patients.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves significant risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below and under "Risk Factors" in the applicable prospectus supplement and under Item 3.D. "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, or any updates in our Reports on Form 6-K, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. The risks so described are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The discussion of risks includes or refers to forward-looking statements; you should read the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed elsewhere in this prospectus.

OFFER STATISTICS AND EXPECTED TIMETABLE

We may sell from time to time pursuant to this prospectus (as may be detailed in prospectus supplements) an indeterminate number of securities as shall have a maximum aggregate offering price of $250,000,000. The actual per share price of the securities that we will offer pursuant hereto will depend on a number of factors that may be relevant as of the time of offer (see "Plan of Distribution" below).

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference contain, and any accompanying prospectus supplement will contain, statements and information that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include words such as "anticipates," "believes," "could," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "may," "plans," "potential," "predicts," "projects," "should," "will," and "would," and describe opinions about future events. These include statements regarding management's expectations, beliefs and intentions regarding, among other things, the potential benefits of APHEXDA, the timing and execution of the launch of APHEXDA and the plans and objectives of management for future operations and expectations and commercial potential of motixafortide, as well as its potential investigational uses. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those listed below as well as those discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F (particularly those in "Item 3. Key Information - Risk Factors") or any updates in our Reports on Form 6-K. Unless we are required to do so under U.S. federal securities laws or other applicable laws, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements. Unless we are required to do so under U.S. federal securities laws or other applicable laws, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements. Readers are encouraged to consult the Company's filings made on Form 6-K, which are periodically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

  • the initiation, timing, progress and results of our preclinical studies, clinical trials, and other therapeutic candidate development efforts;
  • our ability to advance our therapeutic candidates into clinical trials or to successfully complete our preclinical studies or clinical trials;
  • whether the clinical trial results for APHEXDA will be predictive of real-world results;
  • our receipt of regulatory approvals for our therapeutic candidates, and the timing of other regulatory filings and approvals;
  • the clinical development, commercialization, and market acceptance of our therapeutic candidates, including the degree and pace of market uptake of APHEXDA;
  • whether access to APHEXDA is achieved in a commercially viable manner and whether APHEXDA receives adequate reimbursement from third-party payors;
  • our ability to establish, manage, and maintain corporate collaborations, as well as the ability of our collaborators to execute on their development and commercialization plans;
  • our ability to integrate new therapeutic candidates and new personnel;
  • the interpretation of the properties and characteristics of our therapeutic candidates and of the results obtained with our therapeutic candidates in preclinical studies or clinical trials;
  • the implementation of our business model and strategic plans for our business and therapeutic candidates;
  • the scope of protection that we are able to establish and maintain for intellectual property rights covering our therapeutic candidates and our ability to operate our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of others;
  • estimates of our expenses, future revenues, capital requirements and our need for and ability to access sufficient additional financing, including any unexpected costs or delays in the ongoing commercial launch of APHEXDA;
  • risks related to changes in healthcare laws, rules, and regulations in the United States or elsewhere;
  • competitive companies, technologies, and our industry;
  • statements as to the impact of the political and security situation in Israel on our business, including the impact of Israel's war with Hamas and other militant groups, which may exacerbate the magnitude of the factors discussed above.

We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, these statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in Item 3.D. - "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, or any updates in our Reports on Form 6-K. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or to any person acting on our behalf speak only as of the date hereof and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this report. We undertake no obligations to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In evaluating forward-looking statements, you should consider these risks and uncertainties.
