On August 3, 2026, XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. (the “Company”) was served with a motion (the “Motion”) filed by a shareholder of the Company with the Economic Division of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court, requesting court authorization, pursuant to Section 198 of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), to file a derivative claim on behalf of the Company against the Company’s controlling shareholder and certain current and former directors and officers of the Company (collectively, the “Respondents”).
The Motion alleges that the Respondents breached their duties of care, loyalty and fairness owed to the Company in connection with the Company’s 2024 acquisition of The Social Proxy Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), including alleged failures to fund the Subsidiary as committed, alleged conflicts of interest, allegedly delayed and incomplete public disclosure regarding the loss of control over the Subsidiary, and alleged financial irregularities in the Subsidiary’s books. The Subsidiary is currently in liquidation pursuant to an order issued on February 22, 2026.
The petitioner seeks, among other relief: (i) court authorization to file a derivative claim on behalf of the Company against the Respondents; (ii) monetary compensation to the Company for the alleged destruction of the value of the Subsidiary, estimated at approximately NIS 100 million for court-fee purposes; (iii) disgorgement of any improperly obtained benefits; (iv) appointment of a forensic accountant to examine the Company’s and the Subsidiary’s books; and (v) costs and attorneys’ fees.
The Company believes that the Motion is meritless and intends to fully respond in accordance with the court’s schedule.
