Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 18, 2023, Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company") increased the size of its Board of Directors (the "Board") by one and appointed Dr. Daniel Aghion to serve as a director to fill the resulting vacancy, effective as of January 1, 2024.

The Board has not yet taken action to appoint Dr. Aghion to any committees of the Board.

Dr. Daniel Aghion, age 42, is a neurosurgeon at Memorial Neuroscience Institute in Florida since 2016, where he treats patients with a wide array of spine disorders, including severe degenerative spine diseases, spine trauma, cancer in the spine, spine tumors, peripheral nerve surgery and more. Dr. Aghion holds a Bachelor's of Science degree from the University of Michigan and an MD from the Sackler School of Medicine at Tel Aviv University. He completed his residency at Rhode Island Hospital in 2015, and a complex spine fellowship at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore in 2016.

As remuneration for his service as a director, Dr. Aghion will receive the same fees as the Company's other non-executive directors. Except as otherwise set forth herein, there is no arrangement or understanding between Dr. Aghion and any other person pursuant to which he was elected as a director, and there are no transactions in which Dr. Aghion has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In connection with Dr. Aghion's appointment, the Company expects to enter into its standard indemnification agreement with Dr. Aghion, on substantially the same terms as the indemnification agreements previously entered into between the Company and each of its directors and executive officers.
