Company Presentation February 2020 Forward looking Statement This presentation contains express or implied forward-looking statements within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other U.S. Federal securities laws. For example,
This presentation contains express or implied forward-looking statements within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other U.S. Federal securities laws. For example, we are using forward-looking statements when we discuss the expected timing of obtaining regulatory approval for our various patient trials and clinical data readout, proposed trials that may occur in the future, the timing and implementation of our collaborations with various partners and the execution of definitive agreements relating to such collaborations and the potential benefits and impact our products could have on improving patient health care. These forward-looking statements and their implications are based on the current expectations of our management only, and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: changes in technology and market requirements; we may encounter delays or obstacles in launching and/or successfully completing our clinical trials; our products may not be approved by regulatory agencies, our technology may not be validated as we progress further and our methods may not be accepted by the scientific community; we may be unable to retain or attract key employees whose knowledge is essential to the development of our products; unforeseen scientific difficulties may develop with
- ur process; our products may wind up being more expensive than we anticipate; results in the laboratory may not translate to equally good results in real clinical
settings; results of preclinical studies may not correlate with the results of human clinical trials; our patents may not be sufficient; our products may harm recipients; changes in legislation; inability to timely develop and introduce new technologies, products and applications; loss of market share and pressure on pricing resulting from competition, which could cause our actual results or performance to differ materially from those contemplated in such forward-looking
- statements. Except as otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. For a more detailed description of the risks and uncertainties affecting us, reference is made to our reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission

- Extensive pre-clinical data in various indications; such as ischemic stroke, TNBC, CNS
PLX-PAD Peripheral Arterial Disease
9
- CLI is caused by fatty deposits in leg arteries that obstruct blood flow
- Risk factors include smoking, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular problems and hypertension
- CLI patients suffer from severe pain, skin wounds, tissue necrosis and poor quality of life
- High risk of leg amputation and death
- Up to 35% of patients are unsuitable or will not benefit from revascularization
Peripheral Arterial Disease - Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI)
10
PLX-PAD is designed to treat CLI by reducing inflammation and stimulate the growth of blood vessels to bring oxygenated blood to ischemic tissue

- Completed two Phase I studies in CLI- U.S. & Germany (N=27)
Good safety profile Increase in tissue perfusion, 60% reduction in the risk for death or amputation Dose identification- two treatments of 300 million cells, two months apart
- Completed Phase II study in intermittent claudication (IC)- U.S., Germany, S. Korea & Israel
Good safety profile Significant increase in walking distance , reduction in surgical events and HbA1c and CRP levels Confirmation of Phase III design including- dose (300m cells), dose regimen (2 administrations)
- Ongoing Phase III study in CLI- U.S., Europe & Israel (N=246)
Completed enrollment of half of the study’s population (n=123) in April 2019. EU Adaptive Pathways Program allows for an interim analysis following 12 months follow-up, which may allow for conditional marketing approval in Europe

PLX-PAD is designed to stimulate muscle regeneration – gain muscle strength and volume
15
There are currently no approved treatments for post-operative regeneration of injured or weak skeletal muscle

Muscle Regeneration Following Hip Fracture
- Hip fracture often results in serious long-term complications,
including pain, functional decline and disability
- Up to 30% of hip fracture patients die within 1 year due to
immobility associated diseases
- Annual treatment costs in the U.S. are between $10 to $15
billion, and are expected to rise due to aging population
- Attributable costs for hip fracture are $80,000, demonstrating
the cost burden of long term care after fracture

PLX-R18 Hematological Deficiencies
18
- Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS)
- Studies conducted and funded by U.S. government (NIH, DOD)
- FDA has cleared Pluristem’s Investigational New Drug (IND) application for PLX-R18 in the treatment
- f ARS in case of nuclear events
- FDA Orphan Drug Designation
- Phase I - Incomplete Hematopoietic Recovery Following
Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT)
- N= 24
- Open-label trial, allows for interim data analysis
- Clinical sites in U.S & Israel
- FDA Orphan Drug Designation
- Data from first two cohorts showed PLX-R18 led to increased production of
platelets & red blood cells, ultimately reducing the number of required transfusions
Hematological Programs
19
PLX-R18 is designed to stimulate the regeneration of damaged bone marrow to produce blood cells (white, red and platelets)
Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) – The Need
ARS occurs following acute exposure to very high levels of radiation and involves severe lethal injuries to the bone marrow as well as to other organs and systems within the body
- Screening- PLX-R18 release a combination of therapeutic proteins in response to the patient’s
needs and doesn’t require pre-screening
- Treatment in mass casualty event- PLX-R18 can be quickly administered by simple
intramuscular injections and does not require genetic or tissue matching, suitable to treat large number of victims exposed
- Comprehensive therapy- currently approved MCMs are all myeloid colony stimulating factors
(increase white blood cells only), and may lead to severe side effects. PLX-R18 stimulates the regeneration of all three blood lineages
PLX-R18 as Treatment for ARS (via the FDA Animal Rule)
21
Series of studies conducted by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), testing PLX-R18 as a potential treatment for ARS
