PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained in other parts of this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus from our
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as described later in the prospectus. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our securities and it
is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should read the entire
prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein carefully, including the information discussed under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and our financial statements and related notes that are incorporated by reference in this
prospectus. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this prospectus to “Registrant,” “New Silexion,” “the Company,” “our company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Silexion Therapeutics Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company. References to ‘Silexion” and “Moringa” refer to our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Silexion Therapeutics Ltd., an Israeli company, and Moringa Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company, respectively.
This prospectus is part of a registration statement we have filed with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process. Using this process, we may from time to time offer and
sell the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we use this prospectus to offer securities, we will file a supplement
to this prospectus with the SEC that will describe the specific terms of the offering and the manner in which the securities will be offered, including the specific amounts, prices and terms of the securities offered. The prospectus supplement
may also add to, update or change the information contained in this prospectus and, accordingly, to the extent inconsistent, information in this prospectus will be superseded by the information in the prospectus supplement. Before you invest,
you should carefully read this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and the information contained in the documents we refer to under the headings “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information
by Reference.”
You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. We have not authorized anyone to
provide you with additional or different information. This prospectus may be used only for the purposes for which it has been published. If you receive any other information, you should not rely on it. You should assume that the information
contained in this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement is accurate only as of the date on the front cover of the applicable document. Our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects may have changed since
that date. You should not rely on or assume the accuracy of any representation or warranty in any agreement that we have filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or that we may otherwise publicly file
in the future because any such representation or warranty may be subject to exceptions and qualifications contained in separate disclosure schedules, may represent the parties’ risk allocation in the particular transaction, may be qualified by
materiality standards that differ from what may be viewed as material for securities law purposes or may no longer continue to be true as of any given date. No offer of these securities is being made in any jurisdiction where such offer or sale
is prohibited.
We may file a prospectus supplement to add to, update or change the information contained in this prospectus and, to the extent inconsistent, information in this prospectus
will be superseded by the information in the prospectus supplement. Before you invest, you should carefully read this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and the information contained in the documents we refer to under the headings
“Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”
THE COMPANY
Overview
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company that was originally formed for the purpose of effectuating a business combination transaction and that now serves as a publicly-traded holding company
for each of our two subsidiaries— Silexion (through which our operations are carried out) and Moringa (which has no operations). Our ordinary shares and warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbols “SLXN” and
“SLXNW”, respectively.
We are a clinical-stage, oncology-focused biotechnology company engaged in the discovery and development of proprietary treatments for KRAS-driven cancers. The KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma) gene
is an oncogene that is involved in the regulation of cell division as a result of its ability to relay external signals into the cell. Based on our research of refractory solid tumor cancers, we are actively developing a platform focused on the
silencing of the KRAS oncogene using RNA-interference therapeutics. Our lead product candidate, SIL204, consists of locally administered small interfering RNAs, or siRNA, in a solution, as a first-line treatment of locally advanced pancreatic
cancer patients, or LAPC, in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy.
The KRAS oncogene is considered to be the most common oncogenic gene driver in human cancers, and the most notable in pancreatic, lung, and gastrointestinal (GI) (including colorectal,
esophagus, stomach, small bowel, and appendix) cancers. Considered a challenging therapeutic target due to its intrinsic characteristics, recent advances have been made at directly inhibiting the KRAS proteins produced by the mutated gene. Our
platform is designed to silence the gene, and thus prevent the production of the harmful mutated KRAS proteins driving the growth of cancerous tumors.
We are currently focused on treatment for pancreatic cancer (PC) tumors bearing the KRAS G12D or KRAS G12V mutations where metastases have not been detected and are non-resectable, i.e. they
are not able to be surgically removed. For our first indication, we are targeting the largest and least treatable form of localized pancreatic tumors referred to as locally advanced pancreatic cancer. LAPC represents approximately 30% of the
total pancreatic cancer population. We are currently developing SIL204, a second-generation siRNA product candidate following a Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trial with our first-generation siRNA product candidate, siG12D-LODER, which we also
refer to as Loder. Results from the Phase 2 clinical trial showed a trend for differences between treatment groups in patients with the KRAS G12D/V mutation, with the Loder arm suggesting an overall survival advantage of 9.3 months.
SIL204 has been designed to optimize Loder with the aim of improving uptake into tumor cells, enhancing stability, and broadening the scope of its silencing activity. To carry out that
optimization, we have introduced a novel delivery approach, directly into the tumor, where it can be most effective, getting across the very strong barrier surrounding pancreatic tumor cells, which limits the effectiveness of current
treatments. For affected tumor cells which may have already left the primary tumor, we also administer SIL204 systemically via the subcutaneous route.
We plan to conduct a Phase 2/3 prospective, randomized, controlled, multinational, open-label trial in LAPC subjects that harbor the KRAS G12D/V mutations to evaluate the efficacy, safety and
tolerability of SIL204 administered intratumorally in combination with standard of care (SoC) chemotherapy versus SoC chemotherapy only. In support of our planned Phase 2/3 trial, we held a meeting with the Federal Institute for Drugs and
Medical Devices in Germany (BfArM) to discuss the planned design of the Phase 2/3 trial at which BfArM agreed, in principle, to the design. In preparation for the study, we have been conducting toxicology studies of SIL204 in 2025, to be
followed by the regulatory submission in the first quarter of 2026 to initiate the Phase 2/3 trial and trial initiation in the first half of 2026. At this time, we are focused on the further development of the core siRNA technology, SIL204, and
its clinical development.
We were originally known as Biomotion Sciences, a Cayman Islands exempted company. On April 3, 2024, we entered into an amended and restated business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated April 3, 2024, by and among our company (whose name was subsequently changed to Silexion Therapeutics Corp), August M.S. Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly owned
subsidiary of New Silexion (“Merger Sub 1”), Moringa Acquisition Merger Sub Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Silexion (“Merger
Sub 2”), Moringa and Silexion. On August 15, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Business
Combination”) were completed (the “Closing”), following the approval of the Business Combination on August 6, 2024 by the extraordinary general meeting of Moringa.
For a complete description of our business, financial condition, results of operations and other important information, please read our filings with the SEC that are incorporated by
reference in this prospectus, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. For instructions on how to find copies of these documents, please read “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation
of Certain Information by Reference.” You should also carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and in any accompanying prospectus supplements.
Recent Developments
Closing of Public Offering
On September 12, 2025, the Company sold in a public offering, (i) 1,392,250 ordinary shares and (ii) 107,750 pre-funded warrants to purchase up
to 107,750 ordinary shares, which each such ordinary share and/or pre-funded warrant was accompanied by (iii) two ordinary warrants to purchase two ordinary shares (consisting of one Series A ordinary warrant and one Series B ordinary
warrant), for a total of 3,000,000 ordinary warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 ordinary shares. The purchase price per ordinary share and accompanying two ordinary warrants to purchase two ordinary shares was $4.00, while the purchase
price per pre-funded warrant and accompanying two ordinary warrants to purchase two ordinary shares was $3.999.
Aggregate gross proceeds from that September 2025 public offering (without taking into account any proceeds from any exercises of warrants) were
approximately $6.0 million.
The pre-funded warrants were immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and did not expire until exercised in full (they
have each been exercised in full). The ordinary warrants have an exercise price of $4.00 per share, and were exercisable upon issuance. The Series A ordinary warrants and the Series B ordinary warrants will expire on the five (5) year
anniversary and 12-month anniversary, respectively, of the date on which they were issued.
The offering increased our shareholders’ equity by $5.2 million on September 12, 2025.
On September 12, 2025, in connection with the closing of the public offering, investors exercised an aggregate of 445,000 Series B ordinary
warrants issued in the offering and we issued 445,000 underlying ordinary shares. The gross proceeds to our company from those warrant exercises was $1.78 million. The exercise of those Series B ordinary warrants increased our shareholders’
equity by $1.78 million.
Partial Conversion of Moringa Sponsor Convertible Promissory Note
In connection with the closing of our September 2025 public offering, on September 15, 2025, we issued 450,000 ordinary shares to Moringa Sponsor,
L.P. (the “Moringa Sponsor”) upon conversion of $1.8 million of the outstanding principal amount under the amended and restated convertible note, dated August 15, 2024, in an
original principal amount of $3.4 million, that we had issued to the Moringa Sponsor.
The Moringa Sponsor (which is controlled by our director, Ilan Levin) has notified us that it disputes the conversion into Ordinary Shares under
the terms of the convertible note and has demanded repayment of the note in full. We believe that the conversion was carried out in strict compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements
of the note, and reject any claim to the contrary.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company and Emerging Growth Company
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure
obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of any
fiscal year for so long as either (1) the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates does not equal or exceed $250 million as of the prior June 30th, or (2) our annual revenues did not equal or exceed $100 million during such
completed fiscal year and the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates did not equal or exceed $700 million as of the prior June 30th. To the extent we take advantage of any reduced disclosure obligations, it may make the
comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As
an emerging growth company, we are exempt from certain requirements related to executive compensation, including the requirements to hold a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and to provide information relating to the ratio of
total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer to the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees, each as required by the Investor Protection and Securities Reform Act of 2010, which is part of the Dodd-Frank Act.
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until
private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) declared effective or do not have a class of securities
registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that
apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application
dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with those of
another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards
used.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date on which our
ordinary shares were offered in exchange for ordinary shares of each of Moringa and Silexion, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means
the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt
securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” are to its meaning under the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act.

and should not be relied upon in connection with making an investment decision.
This prospectus contains references to our trademarks and to trademarks belonging to other entities. Solely for convenience, trademarks and trade names referred
to in this prospectus, including logos, artwork and other visual displays, may appear without the ® or TM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that their respective owners will not assert, to the fullest extent

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a number of risks. The prospectus supplement applicable to each offering of our securities may contain a
discussion of additional risks applicable to the offering. You should not invest unless you are able to bear the complete loss of your investment. You should carefully consider the risks described below and under the heading “Risk Factors” in the
applicable prospectus supplement and discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”), which is incorporated
herein by reference, together with other information in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement and the information and documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, including our
future reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.” The
risks and uncertainties we have described below and under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report incorporated herein by reference are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not
presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our ordinary shares could decline and investors
could lose all or a part of the money paid to buy our securities. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of these and other factors.
See also the statements contained under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Related to Offerings Under this Prospectus
If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.
We have incurred operating losses since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. Our
financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm included in its opinion for the years ended December 31, 2024
and 2023 an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring losses from operations and our cash outflows from operating activities that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we encounter continued issues or
delays in the development or commercialization of our product candidates, or if we incur greater than anticipated expenses, our prior losses and expected future losses could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and negatively impact our
ability to fund continued operations, obtain additional financing in the future, and continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that such financing, if necessary, will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts
or on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through financings, strategic transactions, licensing
fees, royalty payments or from other sources or transactions, we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our shareholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in our
company.
We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on ordinary shares in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any return on your investment in our ordinary
shares or other securities must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of our ordinary shares.
We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any return on your investment in our ordinary shares or
other securities must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of our ordinary shares.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements regarding the Company’s and the Company’s management team’s expectations, hopes,
beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations. In addition, any
statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances“, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is
not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus may include, for example, statements about:
● our ability to maintain the listing of our ordinary shares and our warrants on Nasdaq;
● our future performance, including our projected timeline for regulatory approvals of our product candidates;
● our market opportunity;
● our strategy, future operations, financial position, projected costs, prospects and plans;
● expectations regarding the time during which we will be an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act;
● our ability to retain or recruit officers, key employees and directors;
● the impact of the regulatory environment and complexities with compliance related to such environment;
● expectations regarding future partnerships or other relationships with third parties;
● our future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash, including the our ability to obtain additional capital in the future; and
● other factors identified from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including this prospectus.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that are
difficult to predict and that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements, or those of our industry, to differ materially from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these statements. Actual results
may differ materially from those anticipated or expressed in such statements due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in Item 1A, ”Risk Factors,” of Part I of our 2024 Annual Report, filed with the SEC on March 18,
2025, as well as those described from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. A number of factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, without
limitation, the following:
● we are a development-stage company and have a limited operating history on which to assess our business;
● we have never generated any revenue from product sales and may never be profitable;
● we will need to raise substantial additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and which will cause
dilution to our shareholders;

USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise set forth in a prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds of any offering of securities for working capital and other general corporate
purposes. We will have significant discretion in the use of any net proceeds. We may provide additional information on the use of net proceeds from the sale of the offered securities in an applicable prospectus supplement.
DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES
General
The descriptions of our share capital and certain provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended (the “Memorandum” and “Articles”, respectively), are summaries and are qualified by reference to the Memorandum and Articles that are currently in effect. Copies of these documents
have been filed with the SEC and are incorporated by reference herein. For instructions on how to find copies of these documents, please read “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”
Our authorized share capital consists of $121,500 divided into 9,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0135 each. As of September 25, 2025, there were
3,126,642 ordinary shares outstanding. All of our outstanding ordinary shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Our ordinary shares are issued in registered form and are eligible for clearing through The Depository Trust Company.
Voting Rights
Each holder of ordinary shares is entitled to one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.
Appointment of Directors
Our board of directors consists of up to nine (9) directors and not less than three (3) directors, unless increased or decreased from time to time by ordinary
resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the shareholders of New Silexion as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting (an “Ordinary
Resolution”).
Directors will generally be appointed by an Ordinary Resolution passed at each annual general meeting.
Prior to each annual general meeting, our board of directors (or a nominating committee established by the board for such purpose) may select, via a resolution
adopted by a majority of the board or such committee, a number of persons to be proposed to the shareholders for appointment as directors at such annual general meeting, for service until the next annual general meeting (the “Nominees”). Any shareholder entitled under applicable law to propose one or more persons as nominees for appointment as directors at an annual general meeting (each such nominee, an “Alternate Nominee”) may make such proposal only if a written notice of such shareholder’s intent to that effect has been given to the Secretary of the Company (or, if there is no such Secretary, the chief executive officer) within the
periods set out in the Articles.
Unless the board of directors resolves that the appointment of Nominees or Alternate Nominees will be determined based on those Nominees or Alternate Nominees
receiving the highest number of votes of shareholders in favor of their appointment— even if less than a majority of all shareholders’ votes that are cast, the Nominees or Alternate Nominees shall be appointed by Ordinary Resolution at the annual
general meeting at which they are proposed for appointment. If the appointment of the Nominees or Alternate Nominees proposed to be appointed would cause the total number of directors (including those then in office) to exceed the maximum number,
then any directors then in office who are not named as Nominees or Alternate Nominees will cease to hold office following the conclusion of such annual general, if any such Nominees or Alternate Nominees are appointed in such meeting, and upon such
Nominees or Alternate Nominees taking office. If (a) the appointment of the Nominees or Alternate Nominees proposed to be appointed would not cause the total number of directors to exceed the maximum, or (b) no Nominees or Alternate Nominees are
proposed to be appointed at an annual general meeting by either the Board or shareholders, or (c) no Nominees or Alternate Nominees are eventually appointed in such annual general meeting — all directors then in office shall continue to hold office
until the convening of a general meeting at which Nominees or Alternate Nominees shall be proposed and appointed, and where such appointment would cause the total number of directors to exceed the maximum.
Each director will hold office until the next succeeding annual general meeting and until his or her successor is appointed and qualified, or until such director’s
earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. The Articles do not provide for cumulative voting for the appointment of directors.
Dividends
Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and our Articles, the board of directors may, from time to time, declare dividends
(including interim dividends) and other distributions on our shares out of funds legally available for that purpose. We have never declared or paid any dividends on our ordinary shares and do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable
future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business
prospects and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant.
Preemptive and Conversion Rights; Redemption
Holders of our ordinary shares have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to
our ordinary shares.
Winding Up
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of
liabilities and the liquidation preference of any then outstanding shares with preferential rights.
Transfer of Shares
Subject to any restrictions in our Articles, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of their ordinary shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or
common form or in a form prescribed by the Nasdaq Capital Market or in any other form approved by our board of directors.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Some provisions of our Articles may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable.
However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our Articles, as amended and restated from time to
time, for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
The authorized but unissued New Silexion ordinary shares are available for future issuance without shareholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the
listing standards of the Nasdaq and the Articles. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate finance transactions, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved New Silexion
ordinary shares could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of New Silexion by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Shareholder Action; Extraordinary General Meetings
Our Articles provide that shareholders may take action by unanimous written resolutions or at annual or extraordinary general meetings. As a result, a holder
controlling a majority of New Silexion ordinary shares would not be able to amend the Articles or remove directors without holding a meeting of shareholders called in accordance with the Articles or the shareholders of New Silexion passing unanimous
written resolutions to approve the same. Further, the Articles provide that only the chairman of the board, or the board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the directors then in office — and not shareholders — may call extraordinary
general meetings of shareholders, thus prohibiting a holder of ordinary shares from calling an extraordinary general meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of shareholders to force consideration of a proposal or for shareholders
controlling a majority of New Silexion to take any action, including the removal of directors.
Advance Notice Requirements for Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations
The Articles provide that shareholders seeking to bring business before our annual general meeting, or to nominate candidates for appointment as directors at its
annual general meeting, must provide timely notice. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice will need to be delivered to the Secretary of New Silexion at its principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 calendar days prior to the
one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual general meeting. In the event that no annual general meeting was held during the preceding year or the date of the annual general meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such
anniversary date, to be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be so delivered no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual general meeting and not later than the 90th day prior to such annual general
meeting or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual general meeting is first made by New Silexion. The Articles also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a
shareholders’ notice. These provisions may preclude New Silexion shareholders from bringing matters before our annual general meeting or from making nominations for directors at our annual general meeting.
Supermajority Requirements for the Amendment of the Articles
Under the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, the Articles may be amended by a special resolution of shareholders, being a resolution passed by not less
than two-thirds (2/3) of our shareholders as being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting.
Board Vacancies
The Articles provide that any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than
a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and not by our shareholders. Any director chosen to fill a vacancy will hold office until the next annual general meeting and until his or her successor is duly appointed and qualified, or until his or her
earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. In addition, the number of directors constituting the then-authorized size of the board of directors is permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by the board.
Exclusive Forum Selection
The Articles provide that, unless New Silexion consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the courts of
the Cayman Islands have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with the Articles or otherwise related in any way to each shareholder’s shareholding in the Company, including but not limited to (i) any
derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or our shareholders, or (iii) any action
asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands or the Articles, and each shareholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Cayman
Islands over all such claims or disputes.
However, such forum selection provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. The
Articles also provide that, unless New Silexion consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a
cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce that exclusivity provision. Furthermore, investors cannot waive compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
rules and regulations thereunder.
Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in New Silexion shares shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum selection
provisions in the Articles.
The choice of forum provisions may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with New Silexion or its
directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against New Silexion and its directors, officers, and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provisions contained in the Articles to be
inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, New Silexion may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Transactions with Interested Shareholders
Cayman Islands law does not have a business combination statute (like in Delaware) applicable to public companies prohibiting them from engaging in certain business
combinations with an “interested shareholder”. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by a business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and
its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors,
except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, actual fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our
Articles provide that our directors and officers shall be indemnified out of the assets of New Silexion against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of
them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default. No such indemnified person shall
be liable to New Silexion for any loss or damage incurred by New Silexion as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default of
such indemnified person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default under the foregoing unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect. In addition, the
Articles provide for the advancing of certain fees and costs to such indemnified persons and the purchase by New Silexion for insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers as further described in the Articles.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to New Silexion directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Shareholders’ Suits.
Conyers, Dill & Pearman LLP, our Cayman Islands legal counsel, is not aware of any reported class action having been brought in a Cayman Islands court. Derivative
actions have been brought in the Cayman Islands courts, and the Cayman Islands courts have confirmed the availability for such actions. In most cases, we will be the proper plaintiff in any claim based on a breach of duty owed to us, and a claim
against (for example) our officers or directors usually may not be brought by a shareholder. However, based both on Cayman Islands authorities and on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority and be applied by a
court in the Cayman Islands, exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:
|
● |
a company is acting, or proposing to act, illegally or beyond the scope of its authority;
|
|
● |
the act complained of, although not beyond the scope of the authority, could be effected if duly authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained; or
|
|
● |
those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”
|
A shareholder may have a direct right of action against us where the individual rights of that shareholder have been infringed or are about to be infringed.
Special Considerations for Exempted Companies.
We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands. The Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands
distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The
requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except for the exemptions and privileges listed below:
|
● |
an exempted company does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;
|
|
● |
an exempted company’s register of members is not open to inspection;
|
|
● |
an exempted company does not have to hold an annual general meeting;
|
|
● |
an exempted company may issue negotiable or bearer shares or shares with no par value;
|
|
● |
an exempted company may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);
|
|
● |
an exempted company may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;
|
|
● |
an exempted company may register as a limited duration company; and
|
|
● |
an exempted company may register as a segregated portfolio company.
|
“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the company (except in
exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).
Listing
Our ordinary shares and warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “SLXN” and “SLXNW,” respectively.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our ordinary shares and the warrant agent for our warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
We may issue warrants to purchase our ordinary shares. Warrants may be issued independently or together with other securities and may be attached to or separate from
those securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent, or between us and the holder. If we elect to use a warrant agent, the warrant agent will act solely as our
agent in connection with the warrants and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any registered holders of warrants or beneficial holders of warrants.
The specific terms of any warrants will be described in a prospectus supplement, including, as applicable:
|
● |
the title and number of warrants;
|
|
● |
the number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and the exercise price;
|
|
● |
the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and any related securities will be separately transferable;
|
|
● |
the period during which the warrants may be exercised;
|
|
● |
any provisions for adjustment of the number or amount of securities receivable upon exercise or the exercise price;
|
|
● |
the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants;
|
|
● |
the warrant agent, if any; and
|
|
● |
any other material terms.
|
Holders of warrants will not have any rights as shareholders of Silexion until the warrants are exercised and ordinary shares are issued. The form of warrant and the
warrant agreement, if any, will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of such warrants.
DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
We may issue units comprised of two or more of our ordinary shares, warrants, or other securities in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of
the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. As a result, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. Each unit may be issued under a separate unit agreement to be entered
into between us and, at our discretion, a bank or trust company, as unit agent, all as will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the particular issue of units. The unit agent, if any, will act solely as our agent in connection with
the units and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of units or beneficial owners of units. The summary of the terms of the units contained in this prospectus is not complete and is subject to, and
is qualified in its entirety by, all provisions of any applicable unit agreement. Reference is made to the prospectus supplement relating to the particular issue of units offered pursuant to such prospectus supplement for the terms of and information
relating to such units, including, where applicable:
|
● |
the specific designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, and the number of such securities comprising each unit;
|
|
● |
the price or prices at which such units will be issued;
|
|
● |
whether the units are to be sold separately or with other securities;
|
|
● |
whether the units will be issued in definitive or global form or in any combination of these forms;
|
|
● |
the identity of the unit agent for the units and of any other depositaries, execution or paying agents, transfer agents, registrars or other agents;
|
|
● |
the proposed listing, if any, of the units or any securities comprising the units on any securities exchange;
|
|
● |
the designation and terms of any equity securities or warrants included in the units;
|
|
● |
if applicable, the date from and after which any units and the securities comprising the units will be separately transferable;
|
|
● |
information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any; and
|
|
● |
any additional terms of the units or of the securities comprising the units, including terms, procedures and limitations for the issuance, payment, settlement,
transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.
|
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities described in this prospectus from time to time in one or more of the following ways:
|
● |
to or through one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or agency basis;
|
|
● |
through put or call option transactions relating to the securities;
|
|
● |
to or through dealers, who may act as agents or principals, including a block trade (which may involve crosses) in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell as
agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
● |
through privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
● |
purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
|
|
● |
directly to purchasers, including our affiliates, through a specific bidding or auction process, on a negotiated basis or otherwise; to or through one or more
underwriters on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;
|
|
● |
exchange distributions and/or secondary distributions;
|
|
● |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
|
|
● |
in an “at the market offering”, within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise;
|
|
● |
transactions not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales or privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
● |
transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives that may or may not be listed on an exchange;
|
|
● |
through any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law; or
|
|
● |
through a combination of any such methods of sale.
|
At any time a particular offer of the securities covered by this prospectus is made, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed
which will set forth the aggregate amount of securities covered by this prospectus being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents, any discounts, commissions, concessions and
other items constituting compensation from us and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers. Such prospectus supplement, and, if necessary, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which
this prospectus is a part, will be filed with the SEC to reflect the disclosure of additional information with respect to the distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus. In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if
applicable, the securities sold under this prospectus may only be sold through registered or licensed broker-dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable
state or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
The distribution of securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions, including block transactions and transactions on the Nasdaq Capital
Market or any other organized market where the securities may be traded. The securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to the prevailing market
prices or at negotiated prices. The consideration may be cash or another form negotiated by the parties. Agents, underwriters or broker-dealers may be paid compensation for offering and selling the securities. That compensation may be in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions to be received from us or from the purchasers of the securities. Any dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on
resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. If any such dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.
Agents may from time to time solicit offers to purchase the securities. If required, we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any agent involved in the
offer or sale of the securities and set forth any compensation payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. Any agent selling the
securities covered by this prospectus may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, of the securities.
To the extent that we make sales to or through one or more underwriters or agents in at-the-market offerings, we will do so pursuant to the terms of a distribution
agreement between us and the underwriters or agents. If we engage in at-the-market sales pursuant to a distribution agreement, we will sell any of our listed securities to or through one or more underwriters or agents, which may act on an agency
basis or on a principal basis. During the term of any such agreement, we may sell any of our listed securities on a daily basis in exchange transactions or otherwise as we agree with the underwriters or agents. The distribution agreement will provide
that any of our listed securities which are sold will be sold at prices related to the then prevailing market prices for our listed securities. Therefore, exact figures regarding proceeds that will be raised or commissions to be paid cannot be
determined at this time and will be described in a prospectus supplement. Pursuant to the terms of the distribution agreement, we also may agree to sell, and the relevant underwriters or agents may agree to solicit offers to purchase, blocks of our
listed securities. The terms of each such distribution agreement will be set forth in more detail in a prospectus supplement to this prospectus.
If underwriters are used in a sale, securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more
transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or under delayed delivery contracts or other contractual commitments. Securities may be offered to the public
either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. If an underwriter or underwriters are used in the sale of securities, an underwriting agreement will be
executed with the underwriter or underwriters, as well as any other underwriter or underwriters, with respect to a particular underwritten offering of securities, and will set forth the terms of the transactions, including compensation of the
underwriters and dealers and the public offering price, if applicable. The prospectus and prospectus supplement will be used by the underwriters to resell the securities.
If a dealer is used in the sale of the securities, we or an underwriter will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the
securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. To the extent required, we will set forth in the prospectus supplement the name of the dealer and the terms of the transactions.
We may directly solicit offers to purchase the securities and may make sales of securities directly to institutional investors or others. These persons may be deemed
to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale of the securities. To the extent required, the prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any such sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction
process, if used.
Agents, underwriters and dealers may be entitled under agreements which may be entered into with us to indemnification by us against specified liabilities, including
liabilities incurred under the Securities Act, or to contribution by us to payments they may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. If required, the prospectus supplement will describe the terms and conditions of the indemnification or
contribution. Some of the agents, underwriters or dealers, or their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us or our subsidiaries.
Any person participating in the distribution of securities registered under the registration statement that includes this prospectus will be subject to applicable
provisions of the Exchange Act, and the applicable SEC rules and regulations, including, among others, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of our securities by that person. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the
ability of any person engaged in the distribution of our securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to our securities. These restrictions may affect the marketability of our securities and the ability of any person or entity to
engage in market-making activities with respect to our securities.
Certain persons participating in an offering may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions, penalty bids and other transactions
that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the offered securities. These activities may maintain the price of the offered securities at levels above those that might otherwise prevail in the open market, including by entering
stabilizing bids, effecting syndicate covering transactions or imposing penalty bids, each of which is described below:
|
● |
a stabilizing bid means the placing of any bid, or the effecting of any purchase, for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of a security.
|
|
● |
a syndicate covering transaction means the placing of any bid on behalf of the underwriting syndicate or the effecting of any purchase to reduce a short position created in
connection with the offering.
|
|
● |
a penalty bid means an arrangement that permits the managing underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member in connection with the offering when offered
securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in syndicate covering transactions.
|
These transactions may be effected on an exchange or automated quotation system, if the securities are listed on that exchange or admitted for trading on that
automated quotation system, or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to
purchase offered securities from us at the public offering price set forth in such prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject only
to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts.
In addition, ordinary shares, warrants or units may be issued upon conversion of or in exchange for other securities.
Any underwriters to whom offered securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in such offered securities, but such underwriters will not be
obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. The offered securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. No assurance can be given that there will be a market for the offered securities.
Any securities that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 or Regulation S rather than pursuant to
this prospectus.
In connection with offerings made through underwriters or agents, we may enter into agreements with such underwriters or agents pursuant to which we receive our
outstanding securities in consideration for the securities being offered to the public for cash. In connection with these arrangements, the underwriters or agents may also sell securities covered by this prospectus to hedge their positions in these
outstanding securities, including in short sale transactions. If so, the underwriters or agents may use the securities received from us under these arrangements to close out any related open borrowings of securities.
We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions.
If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, such third parties (or affiliates of such third parties) may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in
short sale transactions. If so, such third parties (or affiliates of such third parties) may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of shares, and may use
securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of shares. The third parties (or affiliates of such third parties) in such sale transactions will be underwriters and will be identified in the
applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).
We may loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus. Such financial
institution or third party may transfer its short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a simultaneous offering of other securities offered by this prospectus or in connection with a simultaneous offering of other securities
offered by this prospectus.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED SEPTEMBER 26, 2025

Silexion Therapeutics Corp
Up to $13,170,000 of Ordinary Shares
We have entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), dated September 26, 2025, with H.C.
Wainwright & Co., LLC, as sales agent or principal (“Wainwright” or the “sales agent”), relating to the sale of our ordinary shares, par value $0.0135 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, we
may offer and sell up to $13,170,000 of our Ordinary Shares from time to time through Wainwright in this offering.
Sales of our Ordinary Shares, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an
“at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including, without limitation, sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), or any other existing trading market in the United States for our Ordinary Shares, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, directly to Wainwright as principal, in
negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices and/or in any other method permitted by law. Under the Sales Agreement, Wainwright is not required to sell any number or
dollar amount of our Ordinary Shares but as instructed by us will act as a sales agent and use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the Ordinary Shares requested to be sold by us, consistent with its normal trading and sales
practices and applicable laws and regulations, subject to the terms of the Sales Agreement.
Wainwright will be entitled to cash compensation under the terms of the Sales Agreement at a commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price of Ordinary Shares sold
under the Sales Agreement. In connection with the sale of our Ordinary Shares on our behalf, Wainwright will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of Wainwright will be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts. Please see the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” on page S-17 for additional information relating to our compensation arrangements with Wainwright. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and
contribution to Wainwright with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). There is no arrangement
for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement. We provide more information about how the Ordinary Shares will be sold in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”
Our Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “SLXN.” Our warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “SLXNW.” On September 24, 2025,
the last reported sales prices of our Ordinary Shares and warrants on Nasdaq were $3.86 per share and $0.355 per warrant, respectively.
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the aggregate market value of our outstanding Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates was approximately $39,511,803,
based on 3,126,642 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus supplement, of which 2,644,699 shares are held by non-affiliates, and a price of $14.94 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our Ordinary Shares on
Nasdaq on July 31, 2025. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities pursuant to this prospectus supplement with a value of more than one-third of the aggregate market value of our Ordinary Shares held by
non-affiliates in any twelve-month period, so long as the aggregate market value of our Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates is less than $75,000,000. In the event that, subsequent to the date of this prospectus supplement, the aggregate market
value of our outstanding Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $75,000,000, then the one-third limitation on sales shall not apply to additional sales made pursuant to this prospectus supplement. As of the date of this prospectus
supplement, we have not offered and sold any of our securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 during the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on, and includes, the date of this prospectus supplement (excluding this offering).
We are a “smaller reporting company” and an “emerging growth company” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, are entitled to comply with reduced
public company reporting requirements. This prospectus supplement complies with the requirements that apply to an issuer that is an emerging growth company. Please see “Prospectus Supplement Summary—Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
and Emerging Growth Company” below.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Please read “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-6 of this prospectus supplement as well
as any other risk factors and other information contained in any other document that is incorporated by reference herein.
Neither the SEC nor any state 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 SUPPLEMENT
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a registration statement that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) utilizing a “shelf” registration process. This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering and also adds to and updates
information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. The second part, the accompanying prospectus, provides more general information. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus, we are referring to
both parts of this document combined. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the information contained in the accompanying prospectus or any document incorporated by reference herein or
therein filed prior to the date of this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement; provided that if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a
later date—for example, a document incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus—the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.
You should rely only on the information provided in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, or documents to which
we otherwise refer you. We have not, and Wainwright has not, authorized anyone else to provide you with different information.

in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. You must not rely upon any information or representation not contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. This prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the registered securities to which they relate, nor do this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction. You should not assume that the information
contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is accurate on any date subsequent to the date set forth on the front of such document or that any information we have incorporated by reference is correct on any date subsequent
to the date of the document incorporated by reference, even though this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is delivered or securities are sold on a later date.
We have not done anything that would permit this offering or possession or distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in any
jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required, other than in the United States. You are required to inform yourself about and to observe any restrictions relating as to this offering and the distribution of this prospectus supplement and
accompanying prospectus outside the United States.
We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not
be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as
accurately representing the current state of our affairs.
You should also read and consider the information in the documents to which we have referred you under the caption “Where You Can Find Additional Information” in this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In addition, this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contain summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities, including our Ordinary Shares, involves a number of risks. You should not invest unless you are able to bear the complete loss of your
investment. You should carefully consider the risks described below and discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference, together with other information in
this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and the information and documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including our future reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q. For a
description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.” The risks and uncertainties we have described below
and under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report incorporated herein by reference are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem
immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of these risks actually comes to fruition, our business could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our Ordinary Shares could decline and investors could lose all or a part of the
money paid to buy our securities. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of these and other factors.
See also the statements contained under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Related to this Offering
If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.
We have incurred operating losses since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. Our
financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm included in its opinion for the years ended December 31, 2024
and 2023 an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring losses from operations and our cash outflows from operating activities that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we encounter continued issues or
delays in the development or commercialization of our product candidates, or if we incur greater than anticipated expenses, our prior losses and expected future losses could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and negatively impact our
ability to fund continued operations, obtain additional financing in the future, and continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that such financing, if necessary, will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts
or on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through financings, strategic transactions, sales of our
products, licensing fees, royalty payments or from other sources or transactions, we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our shareholders would likely lose most or all of
their investment in our company.
Our PFIC status could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders.
In general, a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, either
(i) 50% or more of the average value of its assets (generally determined on the basis of a weighted quarterly average) consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income, or (ii) 75% or more of its gross income
consists of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. Cash and
cash equivalents generally are passive assets. The value of goodwill will generally be treated as an active or passive asset based on the nature of the income produced in the activity to which the goodwill is attributable. For purposes of the PFIC
rules, a non-U.S. corporation that owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation is treated as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and received directly its proportionate
share of the income of the other corporation.
The annual PFIC income and asset tests in respect of our company will be applied based on the assets and activities of the combined business. Based on the composition
of our income and assets, it cannot be determined whether we will be classified as a PFIC for our current taxable year or in any future taxable year. Further, changes in the composition of our income or composition of our assets may cause us to be or
become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. Whether we are treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a factual determination that must be made annually at the close of each taxable year and, thus, is subject to
significant uncertainty.
If we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, or portion thereof, that is included in the holding period of a U.S. shareholder, such U.S. shareholder may be
subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. U.S. shareholders are strongly encouraged to consult their own advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to the
ownership of our Ordinary Shares, pre-funded warrants and/or our ordinary warrants.
If we fail to maintain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements, our shares may be delisted from the Nasdaq
Capital Market.
To continue to be listed on Nasdaq, we need to satisfy a number of conditions. On November 19, 2024, we received two letters from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications
Department, each addressing a separate compliance deficiency under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The first letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department notified us of our non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), which requires a
company such as ours whose securities are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the “Market Value Standard” to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (an “MVLS”) of $50,000,000. The deficiency
was triggered by our MVLS having closed below the minimum level for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we were entitled to a 180-day period, ending on May 19, 2025, to rectify the deficiency by
maintaining an MVLS of $50,000,000 or more for at least 10 consecutive business days. The second letter informed us of our deficiency in complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C), which requires a minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares
(an “MVPHS”) of $15,000,000 for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under the “Market Value Standard”. This deficiency was caused by our MVPHS having fallen below the minimum threshold for the prior
30 consecutive business days. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), we had 180 calendar days, or until May 19, 2025, to regain compliance by having our MVPHS close at or above $15,000,000 for at least 10 consecutive business days.
On May 22, 2025, we received a delisting notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department in respect of the MVLS and MVPHS deficiencies, and on May 28, 2025,
we requested a hearing related to the delisting notice, which was held on June 26, 2025. On July 7, 2025, we received a favorable decision from the Nasdaq hearings panel, granting our request to remain listed on the Nasdaq subject to certain
conditions. As a result of the favorable outcome of the hearing, the listing of our Ordinary Shares and warrants was transferred from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market on July 8, 2025, where trading continued under the symbols
“SLXN” and “SLXNW”, respectively. Under the terms of the decision reached by the hearings panel, the continued listing of our securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market was conditioned on our fulfillment of the terms of the compliance plan that we had
presented to the panel at the hearing, which was designed to enable us to achieve at least $2.5 million of shareholders’ equity for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a continued basis pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). The terms of
the compliance plan consisted, in primary part, of the following: (i) on or before September 19, 2025, we were required to demonstrate in a report filed under the Exchange Act, our restoration of compliance with, and our expected long-term compliance
with, the shareholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), as to be demonstrated in a balance sheet not older than 60 days to be included in such a filing; and (ii) if we fail to maintain compliance with any Nasdaq listing rule
on or before November 18, 2025, we will be required to submit, and the Nasdaq hearings panel will review (as part of its maintenance of jurisdiction over our listing status until November 18, 2025), a compliance plan for the subject deficiency to
determine whether the panel is willing to grant an exception to us to cure that deficiency.
We filed on September 15, 2025 a Current Report on Form 8-K that attached the requisite balance sheet demonstrating our achievement of shareholders’ equity of
approximately $9.41 million as of that date. On September 23, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that we had demonstrated compliance with the shareholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). We are nevertheless
subject to a one-year mandatory Nasdaq panel monitor— until September 23, 2026. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff finds us to again be out of compliance with the shareholders’ equity requirement, we
would not be permitted to provide the staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency and the staff would not be permitted to grant us additional time to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency. Instead, we would be subject
to an immediate delist determination letter, subject to our right to appeal to a Nasdaq hearings panel once again. There can be no assurance that we will not again be in violation of the shareholders’ equity requirement or any of Nasdaq’s continued
listing standards in the future. We have historically not been in compliance with the minimum bid price rule and also had compliance deficiencies with respect to audit committee requirements, MVLS and MVPHS, although each of those other deficiencies
has been remedied. Our failure to meet the relevant listing requirements may result in our securities being delisted from Nasdaq.
If our securities are delisted from Nasdaq, we may seek to list them on other markets or exchanges, or the Ordinary Shares may trade on the pink sheets. In the event
of such delisting, our shareholders’ ability to trade, or obtain quotations of the market value of, our securities would be severely limited because of lower trading volumes and transaction delays. These factors could contribute to lower prices and
larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our securities. In addition, the substantially decreased trading in our securities and decreased market liquidity of our securities as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq,
and the accompanying loss of federal preemption of state securities laws, could materially adversely affect our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, if at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers,
customers and employees, and cause us to have fewer business development opportunities. Additionally, that may cause the market price of our securities to decline further, and shareholders may lose some or all of their investment. There can be no
assurance that our securities, if delisted from Nasdaq in the future, would be listed on another national or international securities exchange or on a national quotation service, the Over-The-Counter Markets or the pink sheets.
The Ordinary Shares offered hereby will be sold in “at-the-market” offerings, and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay
different prices.
Investors who purchase Ordinary Shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices. As a result, investors may experience different outcomes
in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares as
a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
The actual number of Ordinary Shares we will issue and the gross proceeds resulting from those sales, at any one time or in total, are uncertain.
Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to the sales agent at
any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of Ordinary Shares that are sold by the sales agent after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on the market price of our Ordinary Shares during the sales period, the
limits we set with the sales agent in any instruction to sell Ordinary Shares, and the demand for our Ordinary Shares during the sales period. Because the price per Ordinary Share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our Ordinary Shares
during the sales period, it is not currently possible to predict the number of Ordinary Shares, if any, that we will ultimately sell in this offering or the gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales.
Our share price is volatile, which could subject us to securities class action litigation, and your investment in our securities could decline in
value.
The trading price of our Ordinary Shares could be subject to wide fluctuation in response to many factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control,
including the following:
|
● |
whether we are able to maintain the listing of our ordinary shares and our warrants on Nasdaq;
|
|
● |
our future performance, including our projected timeline for regulatory approvals of our product candidates;
|
|
● |
our strategy, future operations, financial position, projected costs, prospects and plans;
|
|
● |
expectations regarding the time during which we will be an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act;
|
|
● |
our ability to retain or recruit officers, key employees and directors;
|
|
● |
the impact of the regulatory environment and complexities with compliance related to such environment;
|
|
● |
expectations regarding future partnerships or other relationships with third parties;
|
|
● |
our future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash, including the our ability to obtain
additional capital in the future;
|
|
● |
market conditions for equity securities and general economic, political, and market
conditions; and
|
|
● |
other factors and risks identified from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including the
accompanying prospectus.
|
Furthermore, the capital markets can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that may affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These
broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, and market conditions such as recessions, interest rate changes, or international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of our Ordinary Shares. In
addition, such fluctuations could subject us to securities class action litigation, which could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business. You may not
realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment.
Management will have broad discretion as to the use of proceeds from this offering, and we may use the net proceeds in ways with which you may
disagree.
We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering, if any, for general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, research and development expenses,
capital expenditures, working capital, and general and administrative expenses. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results
of operations or enhance the value of our Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management on the use of net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether
the proceeds are being used appropriately. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to decline.
Pending these uses, we intend to invest the funds in short-term, investment grade, interest-bearing securities. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest
the net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us.
A large number of shares may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price of our Ordinary Shares.
All of our Ordinary Shares sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As a
result, a substantial number of our Ordinary Shares may be sold in the public market following this offering, which may cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to decline. This could make it more difficult for you to sell your Ordinary
Shares at a time and price that you deem appropriate and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our Ordinary Shares or other securities. In
addition, this offering and future equity offerings and other issuances of our Ordinary Shares or other securities may adversely affect our Ordinary Shares.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future, including during this offering, offer additional Ordinary Shares or other securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share
that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to our existing shareholders. The price per share at which we sell
additional Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.
In addition, the sale of shares in this offering and any future sales of a substantial number of Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that such
sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our Ordinary Shares. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those Ordinary Shares or the availability of those Ordinary Shares for sale will have on the market price of our
Ordinary Shares.
The exercise of our outstanding warrants, and vesting, exercise and/or settlement of other outstanding equity grants will dilute shareholders and
could decrease our share price.
The exercise of our outstanding warrants may adversely affect our share price due to sales of a large number of shares or the perception that such sales
could occur. These factors also could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of our securities and could adversely impact the terms under which we could obtain additional equity capital. Vesting and exercise of outstanding
options, vesting and settlement of outstanding restricted share units or any future issuance of additional Ordinary Shares, including during this offering, or other equity securities, including options, warrants, restricted share units or other
derivative securities convertible into our Ordinary Shares, may result in significant dilution to our shareholders and may decrease our share price.
We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any return on your investment in our
Ordinary Shares must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of our Ordinary Shares.
We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares must
come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of our Ordinary Shares.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to
predict and that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or those of our industry, to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these statements. Actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated or expressed in such statements due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in Item 1A, ”Risk Factors,” of Part I of our 2024 Annual Report, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2025, as
well as those described from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. A number of factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the
following:
|
● |
we are a development-stage company and have a limited operating history on which to assess our business;
|
|
● |
we have never generated any revenue from product sales and may never be profitable;
|
|
● |
we will need to raise substantial additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and which will cause dilution to our shareholders;
|
|
● |
the approach we are taking to discover and develop novel RNAi therapeutics is unproven for oncology and may never lead to marketable products;
|
|
● |
we do not have experience producing our product candidates at commercial levels, currently have no marketing and sales organization, have
an uncertain market receptiveness to our product candidates, and are uncertain as to whether there will be insurance coverage and reimbursement for our potential
products;
|
|
● |
we may be unable to attract, develop and/or retain key personnel or additional employees required for our development and
future success;
|
|
● |
we may issue additional ordinary shares or other equity securities without your approval, which would dilute
your ownership interest and may depress the market price of our ordinary shares;
|
|
● |
we may not succeed at maintaining at least $2.5 million of shareholders’ equity and thereby
maintaining our compliance with the Equity Standard of the Nasdaq Capital Market and may therefore have our securities
delisted from Nasdaq; and
|
|
● |
those additional factors described or incorporated by reference under the
heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and in our other filings with the SEC.
|
All forward-looking statements included herein are based on information available to us as of the date hereof and speak only as of such date. Except as required by
applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The forward-looking statements
contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement reflect our views as of the date of this prospectus supplement about future events and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and changes in
circumstances that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ significantly from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future events, results, performance, or achievements.
CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our capitalization as of June 30, 2025 as follows:
|
●
|
on a pro forma basis after giving effect to:
(i) the exercise of 152,106 ordinary warrants for 152,106 underlying Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $11.57
per share pursuant to a warrant inducement transaction that we completed on August 1, 2025 for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.8 million (net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million after deducting placement agent fees and other
offering expenses payable by us) (the pro forma capitalization set forth in the below table does not give effect, however, to our potential issuance of (a) up to 304,212 Ordinary Shares underlying warrants that are exercisable at an exercise
price of $11.32 per share, which warrants were issued pursuant to the foregoing warrant inducement transaction, or (b) up to 10,647 Ordinary Shares underlying 10,647 new placement agent warrants, exercisable at $14.4625 per share, which new
placement agent warrants were issued in that same warrant inducement transaction);
(ii) our sale in a public offering of (a) 1,392,250 Ordinary Shares and (b) 107,750 pre-funded warrants
to purchase up to 107,750 Ordinary Shares, which Ordinary Shares and pre-funded warrants were sold together with 1,500,000 Series A ordinary warrants to purchase 1,500,000 Ordinary Shares, and 1,500,000 Series B ordinary warrants to
purchase 1,500,000 Ordinary Shares, which we completed on September 12, 2025, for aggregate gross proceeds of $6.0 million (net proceeds of approximately $5.2 million after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable
by us) (the pro forma capitalization set forth in the below table does not give effect, however, to our potential issuance of the following additional Ordinary Shares pursuant to that public offering: (x) up to 1,500,000 Ordinary Shares
issuable upon exercise of the foregoing 1,500,000 Series A ordinary warrants or up to 1,055,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the 1,055,000 unexercised warrants from among the foregoing 1,500,000 Series B ordinary warrants, in
each case at an exercise price of $4.00 per share; or (y) up to 105,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of 105,000 placement agent warrants at an exercise price of $5.00 per Ordinary Share);
(iii) our issuance of 445,000 Ordinary Shares upon exercise of 445,000 Series B ordinary warrants issued in the
foregoing September 2025 public offering (described in (ii) above) for proceeds of $1.78 million; and
(iv) our issuance of 450,000 Ordinary Shares to Moringa Sponsor, L.P. (“Moringa
Sponsor”) on September 15, 2025 upon conversion of $1.8 million (with a fair value of $1.7 million) of the outstanding principal amount under an amended and restated convertible note, dated August 15, 2024, in an original principal
amount of $3.4 million, that the Company had issued to the Moringa Sponsor (the “A&R Sponsor Promissory Note”);
as if such events had occurred on June 30, 2025 (collectively, the “Pro Forma Adjustments”); and
|
|
●
|
on a pro forma as adjusted basis giving further effect to reflect the assumed sale by us of all $13,170,000 of Ordinary Shares (in gross offering proceeds) offered by means of this prospectus supplement
pursuant to the Sales Agreement at an assumed offering price of $3.86 per Ordinary Share, which is based on the last reported sale price of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 24, 2025, and after deducting the
Sales Agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, as if such issuance and sale had occurred on June 30, 2025.
|
The as adjusted information below is illustrative only and our capitalization following the completion of this offering is subject to various adjustments. The as
adjusted amounts shown below are unaudited and represent management’s estimate. The information in this table should be read in conjunction with and is qualified by reference to the financial statements and notes thereto and other financial
information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

DILUTION
If you invest in our Ordinary Shares in the offering under the Sales Agreement, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the
public offering price per share and the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Ordinary Shares after this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per Ordinary Share by subtracting our liabilities from our tangible assets and
dividing the difference by the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at a given date.
The net tangible book value of our Ordinary Shares on June 30, 2025 was approximately $0.1 million, or approximately $0.21 per share. Net tangible book value per share
is equal to the amount of our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the aggregate number of our Ordinary Shares outstanding.
After giving effect on a pro forma basis to the Pro Forma Adjustments (as described in the “Capitalization”
section above), our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025 would have been approximately $10.3 million, or approximately $3.29 per share.
After giving further effect to the issuance and sale of Ordinary Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $13,170,000 in this offering at an
assumed public offering price of $3.86 per share (the last reported sale price of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 24, 2025), and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our
as‑adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025 would have been approximately $22.85 million, or $3.49 per Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.2 per share to our existing shareholders and
immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.37 per share to investors participating in this offering, as illustrated by the following table:

The table above assumes for illustrative purposes that an aggregate of 3,416,342 of our Ordinary Shares are issued and sold at a price of $3.86 per share
(the last reported sale price of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 24, 2025), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $13,170,000. The shares issued and sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time
at various prices.
The above discussion and table are based on 579,536 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and excludes as of that date:
|
●
|
up to 275,883 Ordinary Shares underlying an equivalent number of outstanding warrants at an average exercise price of $266.43 per share;
|
|
●
|
50,860 Ordinary Shares issuable to the Moringa Sponsor pursuant to the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note (based on the conversion of the entire $3,433,000 principal amount of that
note into Ordinary Shares at an assumed conversion price of $67.50 per share);
|
|
●
|
10,234 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding share options or settlement of outstanding RSUs under our equity incentive plans, at a weighted average exercise price (with respect to the options
only) of $897.34 per share; and
|
|
●
|
1,782 Ordinary Shares reserved for future awards under our equity incentive plan.
|
To the extent that any of our options or warrants listed above are exercised, or new options are issued under our equity incentive plan and subsequently exercised,
there will be further dilution to new investors participating in this offering. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or
future operating plans. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of those securities could result in further dilution to our shareholders.
USE OF PROCEEDS
In this offering, we may issue and sell Ordinary Shares having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $13,170,000 from time to time, before deducting sales agent
commissions and expenses. The amount of proceeds from this offering, if any, will depend upon the number of Ordinary Shares sold, if any, and the market prices at which they are sold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any shares
under or fully utilize the Sales Agreement with the sales agent. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition of this offering, the net proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time.
We intend to use the net proceeds, if any, of this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include research and development expenses, capital expenditures,
working capital, and general and administrative expenses. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or
enhance the value of our Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management on the use of net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are
being used appropriately. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to decline.
Pending these uses, we intend to invest the funds in short-term, investment grade, interest-bearing securities. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest
the net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to shareholders in the foreseeable future. In
addition, any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and such other factors as the board of directors
deems relevant.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We entered into the Sales Agreement with Wainwright, pursuant to which, along with this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, we may issue and sell
from time to time Ordinary Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $13,170,000 through Wainwright as our sales agent. Sales of the Ordinary Shares, if any, will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market
offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, sales made directly on or through Nasdaq, or any other existing trading market in the United States for our Ordinary Shares, sales made to or
through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, directly to Wainwright as principal, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices and/or in any other
method permitted by law.
Wainwright will offer our Ordinary Shares at prevailing market prices subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement as agreed upon by us and Wainwright.
We will designate the number of shares which we desire to sell, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Wainwright will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell on our behalf all of the Ordinary
Shares requested to be sold by us. We or Wainwright may suspend the offering of the Ordinary Shares being made through Wainwright under the Sales Agreement upon proper notice to the other party and pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement.
Settlement for sales of Ordinary Shares will occur on the first business day, or such shorter settlement cycle as may be in effect under the Exchange Act from time to
time, following the date on which any sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and Wainwright in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Sales of our Ordinary Shares as
contemplated in this prospectus will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and Wainwright may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar
arrangement.
We will pay Wainwright a cash commission equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share of Ordinary Shares issued by us and sold by Wainwright under
the Sales Agreement. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to this offering, the actual total offering amount, sales commissions and net proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. Pursuant to the terms
of the Sales Agreement, we have agreed to pay Wainwright a fee not to exceed $50,000 for the reasonable fees and expenses of its legal counsel (excluding any periodic due diligence fees) incurred in connection with entering into the transactions
contemplated by the Sales Agreement. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, we have also agreed to reimburse Wainwright (i) up to $5,000 per due diligence update session conducted in connection with each such date we file our
Annual Report on Form 10-K or a new prospectus supplement for this offering and (ii) up to $2,500 per due diligence update session in connection with each such date we file our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We estimate that the total expenses of
the offering payable by us, excluding commissions payable to Wainwright under the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $112,535, assuming we sell the entire amount offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. We
will disclose in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as applicable, the number of our Ordinary Shares sold through Wainwright under the Sales Agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation paid by us with
respect to sales under the Sales Agreement during the relevant quarter.
We have also granted Wainwright a right of first refusal to act as sole book-running manager, placement agent or
agent, as applicable, for future strategic transactions, financing or refinancing of indebtedness or public or private offering of equity, equity-linked or debt securities by us or any of our subsidiaries following the date of the Sales Agreement
and until the 12-month anniversary of date of this prospectus supplement, subject to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(6)(A).
In connection with sales of Ordinary Shares on our behalf, Wainwright will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the
compensation paid to Wainwright will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed in the Sales Agreement to provide indemnification and contribution to Wainwright against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
The offering of our Ordinary Shares pursuant to this prospectus supplement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the sale of our Ordinary Shares pursuant to this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus having an aggregate sales price of $13,170,000, or (b) termination of the Sales Agreement as permitted therein.
To the extent required by Regulation M, Wainwright will not engage in any market making activities involving our Ordinary Shares while the offering is ongoing under
this prospectus supplement.
From time to time, Wainwright and its affiliates have provided and may provide in the future various advisory, investment and commercial banking and
other services to us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. In addition, in the ordinary course of its various business activities, Wainwright
and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (which may include bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of
their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. Wainwright or its affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research
views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. Wainwright acted as the placement agent in connection with our
warrant inducement transaction in August 2025 and our best efforts public offering consummated in September 2025, and received compensation from us in connection therewith. Except as disclosed in this prospectus supplement, we have no present
arrangements with Wainwright for any further services.
This summary of the material provisions of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions. A copy of the
Sales Agreement was filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K on September 26, 2025.
This prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by Wainwright, and Wainwright may distribute
this prospectus electronically.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. The SEC maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and
information statements and other information regarding companies, such as ours, that file documents electronically with the SEC. The website address is www.sec.gov. The information on the SEC’s website is not

information. Any statement contained in a previously filed document incorporated by reference will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus to the extent that a statement contained in this prospectus modifies or replaces

ITEM 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Silexion Therapeutics Corp is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and
articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful
default, willful neglect, actual fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law,
including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and
directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.
We believe that these provisions and the insurance are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
We have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our officers and directors. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals and entity to the
fullest extent permitted under applicable Cayman Islands law and to hold harmless, exonerate and advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The Sales Agreement that we have entered into with the sales agent for an offering under this registration statement (which has been filed as an exhibit to this
registration statement) provides for indemnification by the sales agent of our company and our officers and directors, and by our company of the sales agent, for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise in connection with the
offering of our Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules
No financial statement schedules are provided because the information called for is not required or is shown either in the financial statements or the notes thereto.
Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
|
(i)
|
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
|
|
(ii)
|
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
|
|
(iii)
|
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
|
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
|
(i)
|
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration
statement; and
|
|
(ii)
|
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or
(x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first
used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter,
such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference
into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
|
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned
registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or
sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
|
(i)
|
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
|
|
(ii)
|
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
|
|
|
|
|
(iii)
|
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant;
and
|
|
|
|
|
(iv)
|
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
|
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference
in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Ramat-Gan, State of Israel, on the 26th day of September, 2025.
