BioLine wishes to receive certain services from Consultant as an independent contractor, and Consultant is willing to provide such services to BioLine as an independent contractor.

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1.	Services. Consultant shall provide BioLine with certain services specified in the attached Exhibit A, in accordance with BioLine’s needs and requirements (the “Services”). Consultant shall perform Services faithfully, diligently and to the best of Consultant’s skill and ability.

Payment. In consideration for the full performance of the Services by Consultant, BioLine shall pay Consultant NIS 59,000 per month (the “Fees”) for the provision of Services on a full-time basis (as defined in Exhibit A). During the period that Consultant provides less than full time (as set forth in Exhibit A), BioLine shall pay Consultant a portion of the Fees according to the agreed percentage of part-time work. The Fees are inclusive of all taxes, other than VAT. BioLine will not make deductions for taxes or social benefits from any amounts payable to Consultant, and any such taxes and other payments shall be the sole responsibility of Consultant. The Fees will be paid in arrears no later than the ninth day of each calendar month, against presentation of a valid VAT invoice (heshbonit mas) no later than the first day of that month. If BioLine is required to withhold any taxes at source, any amount withheld shall be deducted from the Fees. BioLine shall also reimburse Consultant for reasonable business expenses incurred by Consultant in providing the Services, in accordance with BioLine’s policies as determined by BioLine from time to time, provided that such expenses have been approved in writing in advance by Consultant’s supervisor. As a condition to reimbursement, Consultant shall be required to provide BioLine with all invoices, receipts and other evidence of expenditures as may be reasonably required by BioLine from time to time.

Options. As additional consideration for the performance of Services, and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of BioLine and the execution of an option agreement and any other documents reasonably required by BioLine, Consultant shall be granted options to purchase Ordinary Shares par value NIS 0.01 each of BioLine, in the amount set forth in Exhibit A, to be granted pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the share option plan adopted by BioLine.

Proprietary Information, Confidentiality and Non-Competition. By executing this Agreement, Consultant agrees to the provisions of BioLine’s Proprietary Information, Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement attached as Exhibit B hereto. The terms of Consultant’s engagement are personal and confidential, and Consultant undertakes to keep such terms in confidence and shall refrain from disclosing such terms to any third party.

5.	BioLine Equipment.

5.1.

Mobile Phone; Computer. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall be entitled to receive a mobile telephone. In addition, during the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall be entitled to receive a laptop computer. Consultant shall use such telephone and computer (together, the “Equipment”) in a standard and reasonable manner, and in accordance with BioLine’s policies. Consultant hereby agrees that any amount due from Consultant to BioLine in connection with the equipment (including charges for use above the authorized limit, compensation for loss or damage of the equipment, etc.) shall be deducted from the Fees owed to Consultant.

5.2.

Automobile. BioLine will make available to Consultant an electronic refueling device (Pazomat or equivalent) for his personal car and pay for fuel used by Consultant. In accordance with BioLine policy, the parties will agree on a monthly quota of kilometers for which BioLine will pay fuel costs, and Consultant will be responsible for paying the cost of fuel for kilometers driven over the agreed quota. Any taxes arising out of the payment for fuel by the Company shall be borne by Consultant. Other than as specifically provided in this section, Consultant shall be responsible for all costs of maintenance, repair and insurance of his personal car. The electronic refueling device will be returned to BioLine immediately upon termination of Consultant’s employment with BioLine for any reason, no later than the date of termination. Consultant shall not be entitled to have fuel costs paid by BioLine during unpaid leaves or absences, unless specifically approved by BioLine in writing. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant may request that instead of the arrangement described in this section, BioLine make available to Consultant a company vehicle, leased or owned by BioLine of a type to be agreed on by BioLine and Consultant, in accordance with company policies which may be amended from time to time.

5.3.

BioLine Property. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the Equipment, email account and any other device or account providing for transmittal and storage of information, which are placed at Consultant’s disposal by BioLine during the term of this Agreement are and shall remain the property of BioLine. Consultant confirms its understanding that BioLine regularly reviews email correspondence and other information transmitted and stored by using the equipment stated above, and BioLine reserves the right to copy, store, present to others, and use such information. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any messages and data sent from, received by, or stored in or upon BioLine’s computers and communications systems are the sole property of BioLine, regardless of the form and/or content of these messages and data. Consultant should not consider messages and data sent from, received by, or stored in or upon BioLine’s computer and communications systems to be private and should not send, receive, or store sensitive personal or private information using these systems. Consultant is deemed to have consented to any reasonable use, transfer and disclosure of all messages and data contained or sent via the BioLine’s computer and communications systems, including electronic mail. Consultant shall fully comply with BioLine’s policies regarding computer and network, as may be in effect from time to time.

No Conflicts. Consultant represents and warrants that Consultant’s performance of this Agreement and the Services does not and will not breach or conflict with any agreement to which Consultant is or becomes a party, nor does it require the consent of any other person or entity. Consultant shall inform BioLine, immediately after Consultant becomes aware of it, of any matter or engagement that may in any way raise a conflict of interest between Consultant and BioLine or prevent Consultant from providing the Services.

Independent Contractor. It is understood that Consultant is an independent contractor and not an employee of BioLine. Consultant has no authority to obligate BioLine by contract or otherwise. Consultant will not be considered an employee of BioLine or, other than as expressly provided in this Agreement, eligible for any right or benefit (including such rights and benefits that BioLine may grant to its employees). No deductions shall be made from the Fees nor any transfers made to any governmental or private entity except as set forth in this Agreement, and Consultant hereby waives any claim against BioLine based on such deductions or transfers not being made. If, as a result of a claim or suit by Consultant, a competent court of law rules that the relationship between BioLine and an employee of Consultant is an employer-employee relationship and that, as a result of such relationship, such employee of Consultant is entitled to rights or compensation from BioLine, the following will apply:

the hourly wage of Consultant’s employee as an employee of BioLine will be calculated according to the average monthly salary in Israel (as set forth in the National Insurance Law), assuming that a month consists of 186 hours; and

Consultant shall fully indemnify BioLine for any damages, liabilities or other costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such determination, and BioLine shall be entitled to offset any amount due to Consultant resulting from the determination that an employer-employee relationship exists against any amount actually paid or due under this Agreement.

The Confidential Information and all right, title and interest therein will remain at all times the exclusive property of BioLine (or any third party entrusting its own Confidential Information to BioLine).

At all times during the term of the Consulting Agreement and thereafter, Consultant will hold all Confidential Information in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, or make any copies thereof. Consultant hereby assigns to BioLine any rights that Consultant may have or acquire in such Confidential Information and recognize that all Confidential Information shall be the sole property of BioLine and its assigns or licensors, as applicable.

Consultant will promptly disclose and describe to BioLine all inventions, improvements, designs, concepts, techniques, methods, processes, know how, and trade secrets, whether or not patentable, copyrightable or protectable as trade secrets that are made, developed, conceived or first reduced to practice or created by Consultant, whether alone or jointly with others, during Consultant’s engagement with BioLine (i) which relate to BioLine’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, (ii) which are developed in whole or in part on BioLine’s time or with the use of any of BioLine’s Confidential Information or other information, equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information, or (iii) which result directly or indirectly from any work performed by Consultant for BioLine (the “Inventions,” and each an “Invention”).

Consultant hereby assigns and agrees to assign in the future (when any such Inventions or Proprietary Rights (defined below) are first reduced to practice or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable) to BioLine or its designee(s) all of Consultant’s right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto) whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes. Consultant further specifically assigns to BioLine all original works of authorship, including any related moral rights, which are made by Consultant (solely or jointly with others) during the term of the Consulting Agreement which are protectable by copyright pursuant to applicable copyright law. Consultant also agrees to assign all of his right, title and interest in and to any particular Invention to any third party, including without limitation government agency, as directed by BioLine.

To the extent any moral rights cannot be assigned under applicable law and to the extent the following is allowed by the laws in the various countries where moral rights exist, Consultant hereby waives such moral rights and consent to any action of BioLine that would violate such moral rights in the absence of such consent.

The term “Proprietary Rights” shall mean: (i) patents, whether in the form of utility patents or design patents and all pending applications for such patents; (ii) trademarks, trade names, service marks, designs, logos, trade dress, and trade styles, whether or not registered, and all pending applications for registration of the same; (iii) copyrights or copyrightable material, including moral rights, including but not limited to books, articles and publications, whether or not registered, and all pending applications for registration of the same; and (iv) all other intellectual property rights throughout the world.

Consultant specifically acknowledges and agrees that Consultant’s duties with BioLine may entail the invention and development of new ideas, technologies, products and other confidential and proprietary information, and that the creation of any such intellectual property is an inherent part of Consultant’s duties with BioLine. Consultant expressly agrees that the consideration paid to Consultant pursuant to his Consulting Agreement constitutes the sole consideration to which Consultant may be entitled to for the assignment of any and all Inventions or Proprietary Rights made, developed, conceived or first reduced to practice or created by Consultant (or with his assistance or contribution) including, without limitation, in accordance with Section 134 of the Patent Law, 5727-1967 (the “Patent Law”), and Consultant shall not be entitled to receive any additional consideration in this respect whatsoever. Without derogating from the aforesaid, it is hereby clarified that the level of Consultant’s compensation and consideration has been established based upon the aforementioned waiver of rights to receive any such additional royalties, consideration or other payments. The above will apply to any “Service Inventions” as defined in the Patent Law. It being clarified that under no circumstances will Consultant be deemed to have any Proprietary Right in any Service Invention, notwithstanding the provision or non-provision of any notice of an invention and/or BioLine’s response to any such notice, under Section 132(b) of the Patent Law. This Agreement is expressly intended to be an agreement with regard to the terms and conditions of consideration for Service Inventions in accordance with Section 134 of the Patent Law.

Consultant will assist BioLine in every proper way to obtain, and from time to time enforce, any Proprietary Rights relating to any Inventions in any and all countries. To that end Consultant will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as BioLine may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. In addition, Consultant will execute, verify and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to BioLine or its designee. Consultant’s obligation to assist BioLine with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to any such Inventions in any and all countries shall continue indefinitely beyond termination of the Consulting Agreement for any reason (the “Termination Date”), but BioLine shall compensate Consultant at a reasonable rate after the Termination Date for the time actually spent by Consultant at BioLine’s request on such assistance.

If BioLine is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure Consultant’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in the preceding paragraph, Consultant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints BioLine and its duly authorized officers and agents as Consultant’s agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in Consultant’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Consultant. Consultant hereby waives and holds BioLine harmless from any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which Consultant now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to BioLine.

Consultant agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form that may be required by BioLine) of all Confidential Information developed by Consultant and all Inventions made by Consultant during the term of the Consulting Agreement to BioLine, which records shall be available to and remain the sole property of BioLine at all times.

11.

Upon the earlier of (i) a written request by BioLine; or (ii) the expiration or termination of the engagement, Consultant shall promptly return to BioLine all Confidential Information, together with any and all copies or excerpts thereof and any and all other information directly or indirectly derived therefrom. Return or destruction of the Confidential Information as required hereunder shall not affect Consultant’s remaining obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

12.	Non-Competition; Non Solicitation.

12.1.

In consideration of Consultant’s terms of engagement, which include special compensation for Consultant’s undertakings under this Section 12, and in order to enable BioLine to effectively protect its Proprietary Information, Consultant undertakes that during the term of the Consulting Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months from the Termination Date, Consultant will not directly or indirectly: (i) carry on or hold an interest in any company, venture, entity or other business (including, without limitation, as a shareholder other than a minority interest in a publicly traded company) which directly competes with the products or services of BioLine (a “Competing Business”) ; (ii) act as a consultant, Consultant or officer or in any managerial capacity in a Competing Business, or supply in direct competition with BioLine services to any person who, to Consultant’ s knowledge, was provided with services by BioLine any time during the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Termination Date; (iii) solicit, canvass or approach or endeavor to solicit, canvass or approach any person who, to Consultant’s knowledge, was provided with services by BioLine at any time during the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Termination Date, for the purpose of offering services or products which directly compete with the services or products supplied by BioLine at the Termination Date; or (iv) employ, solicit or entice away or endeavor to solicit or entice away from BioLine any person employed by BioLine any time during the twelve (12) months immediately prior the Termination Date with a view to inducing that person to leave such employment and to act for another employer in the same or a similar capacity.

12.2.

Insofar as the protective covenants set forth in this Agreement are concerned, Consultant specifically acknowledges, stipulates and agrees as follows: (i) the protective covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the goodwill, property and Proprietary Information of BioLine, and the operations and business of BioLine; and (ii) the time duration of the protective covenants is reasonable and necessary to protect the goodwill and the operations and business of BioLine, and does not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of BioLine. Nevertheless, if any of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement is found by a court having jurisdiction to be unreasonable or overly-broad as to geographic area, scope or time or to be otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions set forth in this Agreement to be reformed, modified and redefined by such court so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified by such court, to be fully enforced.

13.

Consultant represents that Consultant’s performance of all the terms of the Consulting Agreement and this Agreement does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence information acquired by Consultant in confidence or in trust prior to Consultant’s relationship with BioLine. Consultant has not entered into, and agrees that he/she will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith.

14.	Consultant hereby agrees that if the Consulting Agreement is terminated, Consultant shall notify any new employer or client of Consultant ’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

15.	Consultant acknowledges that any violation or threatened violation of this Agreement may cause irreparable injury to BioLine, entitling BioLine to seek injunctive relief in addition to all other legal remedies.

16.

Consultant recognizes and agrees that: (i) this Agreement is necessary and essential to protect the business of BioLine and to realize and derive all the benefits, rights and expectations of conducting BioLine’s business; (ii) the area and duration of the protective covenants contained herein are in all things reasonable; and (iii) good and valuable consideration exists under the Consulting Agreement, for Consultant’s agreement to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

17.	The terms of Section 10.2 of the Consulting Agreement shall apply to this Agreement.

18.	CONSULTANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE/SHE HAS READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY, UNDERSTANDS ITS TERMS AND HAS BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS IT WITH INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date of the Consulting Agreement.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLIANCE

Your responsibility

You are obligated to adhere to this policy in the performance of your job responsibilities. When faced with a situation that requires an evaluation of what is, and what is not, proper business conduct, begin by applying the following criteria:

•	Is the course of conduct legal?

Exhibit E

BioLineRx Ltd.

STATEMENT OF COMPANY POLICY

SECURITIES TRADES BY BIOLINERX LTD. PERSONNEL

BioLineRx Ltd. (the “Company”) has adopted the following Policy regarding trading by Company personnel in the Company’s securities. The Policy applies to all Company personnel, including directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Need for a Policy

This Policy has been developed:

to educate all Company personnel;

to set forth guidelines for courses of action;

to protect the Company and all of its personnel against legal liability; and

to preserve the reputation of the Company and its personnel for integrity and ethical conduct.

Since the Company is a public company with its ordinary shares traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and its American Depositary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, transactions in the Company’s securities are subject to both Israeli and United States federal securities laws and regulations. These laws and regulations make it illegal for an individual to buy or sell securities of the Company while aware of “inside information.” The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Israel Securities Authority (ISA) take xxxxxxx xxxxxxx very seriously and devote significant resources to uncovering the activity and to prosecuting offenders. Liability may extend not only to the individuals who trade on “inside information,” but also to their “tippers,” people who leak the inside information to the individuals who trade. The Company and “controlling persons” of the Company may also be liable for violations by Company employees.

In addition to responding to the statutes and regulations, we are adopting this Policy to avoid even the appearance of improper conduct on the part of anyone employed by or associated with the Company (not just “insiders”).

The Consequences

The consequences of xxxxxxx xxxxxxx violations can be severe. The following are examples under U.S. law applicable to the Company:

For individuals who trade on inside information (or tip information to others):

a civil penalty of up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided;

a criminal fine (no matter how small the profit) of up to $5 million; and

a jail term of up to twenty years.

For a company (as well as possibly any supervisory person) that fails to take appropriate steps to prevent illegal trading:

a civil penalty of the greater of $1 million or three times the profit gained or loss avoided as a result of the employee’s violation; and

a criminal penalty of up to $25 million.

Any of the above consequences – or even an SEC or ISA investigation that does not result in prosecution – can tarnish one’s reputation and irreparably damage a career. In addition, if an employee violates this Policy, Company-imposed sanctions, including dismissal for cause, could result from failing to comply with the Company’s policy or procedures.

Our Policy

It is the Company’s policy that no Company personnel nor any related persons may buy or sell securities of the Company while aware of material nonpublic information or engage in any other action to take advantage of, or pass on to others, that information.

This Policy also applies with equal force to information relating to any other company, including our collaborators, partners, suppliers, customers and others, obtained by Company personnel during the course of his or her service to or employment by the Company.

Transactions that may be necessary or justifiable for independent reasons (such as the need to raise money for an emergency expenditure) are no exception. Even the appearance of an improper transaction must be avoided to preserve our reputation for adhering to the highest standards of conduct.

Policy Administrator. This Policy shall be administered by the “Policy Administrator,” who shall initially be the Chief Financial and Operating Officer. The Policy Administrator may, however, change from time to time, and you are encouraged to consult the copy of this Policy that is included on the Company’s website to obtain current information concerning the Policy Administrator.

Material Non-Public Information. Material non-public information (i.e., “inside information”) is any information that:

is not generally known to the public, and

which, if publicly known, would likely affect either the market price of the Company’s securities or a person’s decision to buy, sell or hold the Company’s securities.

Information “generally known to the public” is information released to the press or the industry and after public investors and the market have had a reasonable period of time to evaluate and react to the information. All other information is regarded as non-public.

Examples of Material Information. Common examples of information that will frequently be regarded as material are:

quarterly or annual earnings results;

projections of future results or sales;

earnings or losses;

news of a pending or proposed merger, acquisition or tender offer;

an important financing transaction;

significant clinical or regulatory developments;

the entry into or termination of a significant collaboration, joint venture or strategic alliance;

changes in management;

significant new products or discoveries;

plans regarding strategy or significant capital investments;

impending bankruptcy or financial liquidity problems;

criminal charge or government investigations;

internal financial information which departs from what the market would expect; and

the gain or loss of any significant contract or agreement.

Either positive or negative information may be material. We emphasize that this list is merely illustrative.

Twenty-Twenty Hindsight. Remember, if your securities transactions become the subject of scrutiny, they will be viewed after-the-fact with the benefit of hindsight. As a result, before engaging in any transaction, you should carefully consider how regulators and others might view your transaction in hindsight.

Transactions by Family Members and Others in Your Household. These restrictions also apply to your “immediate family members” – that is, a spouse, parent, child or sibling and any other family member who shares the same address as, or is financially dependent on you. Employees are expected to be responsible for the compliance of all family members with this Policy. Employees are also expected to be responsible for the compliance of other persons who live in their household, whether or not related, with this Policy.

Tipping Information to Others. Whether the information is proprietary information about the Company or information that could have an impact on our stock price, Company personnel must not pass the information on to others. The above penalties apply, whether or not you derive any monetary benefit from another person’s actions. Inside information is often inadvertently disclosed or overheard in casual, social conversations. Care must be taken to avoid such disclosures.

When Information is Public. As you can appreciate, it is also improper for Company personnel to trade the Company’s securities immediately after the Company has made a public announcement of material information. Since the Company’s shareholders and the investing public should be afforded time to receive information and to act upon it, as a general rule you should not engage in any transactions until the beginning of the second business day after the information has been released. Thus, if an announcement is made on a Monday, Wednesday generally would be the first day on which you should trade. If an announcement is made on a Friday, Tuesday generally would be the first day on which you should trade. However, if the information released is complex, such as a prospective major financing or other transaction, it may be necessary to allow additional time for the information to be absorbed by investors. In such circumstances, you will be notified by the Policy Administrator regarding a suitable waiting period before trading.

Prevention of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx by Others. If you become aware of a potential xxxxxxx xxxxxxx violation, you must immediately advise the Policy Administrator. You should also take steps, where appropriate, to prevent persons under your supervision or control from using inside information for trading purposes.

Confidentiality. Serious problems could be caused for the Company by the unauthorized disclosure of internal information about the Company, whether or not for the purpose of facilitating improper trading in the securities of the Company. Company employees should not discuss internal company matters or developments with anyone outside of the Company, except as required in the performance of regular corporate duties.

This prohibition applies specifically (but not exclusively) to inquiries about the Company that may be made by the financial press, investment analysts or others in the financial community. It is important that all such communications on behalf of the Company be through an appropriately designated officer under carefully controlled circumstances. Unless you are expressly authorized to the contrary, if you receive any inquiries of this nature, you should decline comment and refer the inquirer to the Chief Financial and Operating Officer.

Nothing in this Policy is meant to limit or change the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of non-public information that directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company by virtue of their positions or their agreements with the Company. Such obligations also apply in the context of any electronic chat room or electronic bulletin board, including participation under a pseudonym.

Additional Prohibited Transactions

Since we believe it is generally improper and inappropriate for Company personnel to engage in short-term or speculative transactions involving the Company’s securities, it is our policy that such personnel should not engage in any of the following activities with respect to the Company’s securities:

Trading in the Company’s securities on a short-term basis. Any ordinary shares of the Company purchased in the open market should be held for a minimum of 60 days.

Short sales of the Company’s securities.

Use of the Company’s securities to secure a margin or other loan, except in limited cases with the prior approval of the Policy Administrator.

Transactions in straddles, collars, or other similar risk reduction devices, except in limited cases with the prior approval of the Policy Administrator.

Transactions in publicly-traded options relating to the Company’s securities (i.e., options that are not granted by the Company), except in limited cases with the prior approval of the Policy Administrator.

Trading Blackouts Applicable to all Company Personnel

While it is never permissible to trade based on material non-public information, we are implementing procedures to help prevent inadvertent violations and avoid even the appearance of an improper transaction (which could result, for example, where Company personnel engage in a trade while unaware of a pending major development).

Prohibited Periods for Trading. No person to whom this Policy is applicable may trade in the Company’s securities during the following periods:

the periods starting on the 15th day after the close of each fiscal quarter and ending at the beginning of the second business day after the release of the Company’s financial results for each quarter and, in the case of the fourth quarter, financial results for the year end; and

any other periods as determined by the Company. You will be notified by e-mail when you may not trade in the Company’s securities during such periods, and you will also be notified when trading restrictions are lifted.

There are no restrictions on exercising options without a sale. Selling the shares held as a result of exercising options is subject to the restrictions set forth above.

Pre-Clearance of Trades

In order to ensure and maintain compliance with this Policy, all transactions in the Company’s securities (acquisitions, dispositions, transfers, etc.), including the execution of Trading Plans (as defined below), by directors, members of Executive Management, financial team members and designated employees must be pre-cleared in advance by the Policy Administrator. If you are a member of one of the groups listed above and you contemplate a transaction in the Company’s securities, you must contact the Policy Administrator or other designated individual prior to executing the transaction. The Policy Administrator will use his reasonable best efforts to provide approval or disapproval as soon as practicable. You must wait until receiving pre-clearance to execute the transaction. Neither the Company nor the Policy Administrator shall be liable for any delays that may occur due to the pre-clearance process. If the transaction is pre-cleared by the Policy Administrator, it must be executed by the end of the second business day after receipt of pre-clearance. Notwithstanding receipt of pre-clearance of a transaction, if you become aware of material nonpublic information after receiving the pre-clearance but prior to the execution of the transaction, you may not execute the transaction.

Please note that such pre-clearance does not provide the insider with immunity from investigation or suit; it is the responsibility of the individual to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations.

Exception for Trading Plans

Notwithstanding the restrictions and prohibitions on trading in the Company securities as set forth in this Policy, persons subject to this Policy are permitted to effect transactions in Company securities pursuant to approved trading plans established under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Trading Plans”), including transactions during the prohibited periods discussed above. Rule 10b5-1 requires that these transactions be made pursuant to a plan that was established while the person was not in possession of material non-public information. In order to comply with this Policy, the Company must pre-approve any such Trading Plan prior to its effectiveness. Company personnel seeking to establish a Trading Plan should contact the Policy Administrator.

Application of this Policy to Persons Who Cease to be Associated with the Company

The laws against xxxxxxx xxxxxxx continue to apply to anyone who has material non-public information about the Company. Therefore, even if an individual ceases to be employed by or associated with the Company, that person is prohibited by law from trading any securities of the Company for so long as he or she possesses material non-public information.

Company Assistance

Any person who has any questions about specific transactions or this Policy in general may obtain additional guidance from the Policy Administrator. Remember, however, the ultimate responsibility for adhering to the Policy and avoiding improper transactions rests with you. In this regard, it is imperative that you use your best judgment.

Certifications

As a condition to continuing employment, all employees will be required to certify their understanding of and intent to comply with this Policy. Members of the Board of Directors, Senior Management and other personnel may be required to certify compliance on an annual basis.

2.	Senior officer declaration

2.1	CEO’s message

The status of BioLineRx as a public company confers on it both advantages and responsibility. The main market for trading the Company’s shares is the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Therefore, we are subject to the Israeli Securities Law and the enforcement thereof by the Israel Securities Authority (“ISA”). When the ISA learns of breaches of the law, it has the power to xxx companies and individuals in criminal proceedings and (after amendments to the law from 2011) to impose fines and other sanctions without the need to apply to the courts.

The administrative enforcement plan is intended to help us comply with the law, to correctly address violations and to demonstrate to the ISA that we treat seriously anything that is related to the offering of our shares. Understanding the plan and enforcing it in day-to-day life provides a solid basis for the investors’ trust in particular and for the Company’s public reputation in general.

Similarly to our code of business and ethics, this plan is intended for each and every Company employee, manager and Board member.

I request and expect your personal commitment to the enforcement of the procedure and full cooperation in its application.

This procedure is a living procedure which may change from time to time pursuant to relevant laws and regulations and according to the lessons learned during the assimilation of the plan.

I trust each and every one of you to comply with both the written plan and its spirit.

Xx. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx

CEO

3.	General information on an administrative enforcement plan

3.1	Improvement of Internal Enforcement Proceedings in the ISA Law, 5770-2010

The Law for the Improvement of Internal Enforcement Proceedings in the Israel Securities Authority, 5770-2010 (the “Law”), which was approved by the Knesset in January 2011, constitutes a significant change that requires reporting companies to immediately address the requirements of the new Law. The main parts of the Law regulate the establishment of an administrative committee that will deal with violations in the area of securities. If the committee reaches the conclusion that it was proven at the level of proof which is customary in civil law (a probability of more than 50%) that a violation was committed, it will be authorized to institute various means of enforcement against the violating party.

The committee will deal with various violations that are related to the Securities Law, 5728-1968 (the “Securities Law”) and other relevant laws. The common feature of such violations is that the mens rea that is set forth therein is at most that of negligence.

The means of enforcement that the committee will be authorized to impose will be significant fines, a demand to pay damages to the party injured by the violation, a payment to the State treasury which derives from profits that were generated as a result of the violation, a demand to institute acts to remedy the violation and prevent its recurrence, a prohibition on holding office in certain bodies, a suspension or revocation of a license and suspended punishment.

As is known, the Law establishes, inter alia, the strict responsibility of the CEO, due to which enforcement measures can be imposed as set forth in the Law.

	(a)	“The CEO of the corporation and a partner other than a limited partner, are obligated to supervise and institute any and all reasonable means under the circumstances of the case to prevent the commission of a violation by the corporation or partnership, as the case may be, or by any of their employees.”
	(b)	If a violation is committed the presumption is that the CEO of the corporation or a partner other than a limited partner in the partnership, as the case may be, has breached his obligation pursuant to Subsection (a) and may be subject to one or more of the means of enforcement as specified below…unless he proves that he has fulfilled his obligation pursuant to Subsection (a):
	(c)	If the corporation has established adequate procedures to prevent a violation as provided in Subsection (b), appointed an officer on its behalf to supervise the compliance therewith, including with regard to providing guidance to the corporation’s employees for the compliance therewith, and instituted reasonable steps to remedy the violation and prevent the recurrence thereof, the presumption is that the CEO or the partner, as the case may be, has fulfilled his obligation as provided in Subsection (a).

According to commentators, all the provisions of Subsection (c) lead to an internal enforcement plan. So, too, thought the Israel Securities Authority (the “ISA”), when in August 2011 it released a Document on criteria for recognition of an internal enforcement plan in the area of securities and investment management (the “ISA Document”) and set forth that:

“The application in practice of an efficient enforcement plan by the corporation may be viewed favorably by the ISA with respect to the corporation or individuals therein in the context of its discretion in respect of the exercise of its powers of enforcement pursuant to the law.”

The ISA’s Document sets forth the standards that will be examined by the ISA when deliberating and deciding whether an efficient enforcement plan exists at a corporation. Based on the requirements of the Law, the ISA’s Document and the understanding of the Company’s management, the relevant information and instructions have been incorporated into the enforcement plan document that is set forth below.

3.2	What is an enforcement plan

This internal enforcement plan document is a document that is unique to the Company which set forth the activities to be undertaken in order to prevent the violations listed in the schedule to the administrative enforcement law.

3.3	Objectives of an enforcement plan

The creation, implementation and assimilation of a correct and suitable enforcement plan can constitute a dual safety mechanism for the Company and the individuals therein:

ü	Minimization of the possibility of the occurrence of a violation

Through the establishment of clear procedures, presentation of standards for conduct and implementation of controls for the application thereof in the day-to-day activity, ensuring that any and all individuals taking part in the Company’s relevant activity are aware of their obligation and the manner of their compliance therewith.

ü	Immediate effect on the examining entity in the event that a violation occurs

As stated in the Law and in the ISA’s Document, an enforcement plan is an indication that the Company (its managers and directors) has done everything within its power to try to prevent violations. Such a plan will provide a defense to their benefit whereby they have instituted any and all reasonable measures to prevent the offence for a body which is examining and/or dealing with an occurrence of a violation.

The primary objective of the enforcement plan is to ensure the proper activity of the Company in accordance with any and all regulatory obligations and desired standard of conduct insofar as the same are relevant to the Securities Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

The plan intends to establish existing proper conduct, to create a compilation of information and procedures that are relevant to the organization and to assimilate the conduct which is desired and required of each and every one of the Company’s employees and officers and to promote an organizational culture of compliance with and respect for the Law.

All employees and/or officers should be able to consult the document if and when they encounter an issue pertaining to the content of the plan and to find answers with regard to the conduct that is appropriate and expected of them, whether it is a procedure which offers guidance on how to act or a referral to consultation with a relevant body.

3.4	Applicability of the enforcement plan

This plan applies to BioLineRx (the “Company”) by virtue of its being a public company whose shares are listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The plan applies to all of the Company’s echelons, i.e. the Company’s employees, senior officers, managers and directors. It is important to emphasize that the plan also applies to the employees of any and all subsidiaries of the Company in view of their involvement with the operations of the parent company.

3.5	Prohibition on insurance and indemnification

The Law explicitly contains a prohibition on insurance and/or indemnification in respect of violations of the Law.

The Law establishes that a proceeding to impose a pecuniary sanction, an administrative proceeding or an arrangement proceeding cannot be insured. A pecuniary sanction imposed on a corporation, its controlling shareholder or an employee in a proceeding as aforesaid cannot be indemnified or paid, either directly or indirectly.

However, an employee can be indemnified or insured for payment to the party injured by the violation and additionally for expenses that he shall have incurred in relation to a proceeding that was conducted in the matter of the employee, irrespective of the results of the proceeding.

In November 2011, the Company’s articles of association and letters of insurance and indemnification of the officers were updated accordingly, such that a provision was set forth that permits the insurance and/or indemnification pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Law.

3.6	Documentation and provision of documents for inspection and storing of documents

The Law and the schedules include a reference to the issue of providing documents for inspection. As part of the enforcement plan and its procedures, the Company is obligated to make available for inspection any and all relevant documents (for example, a prospectus that was authorized for publication, a registration document or any and all reports, opinions, approvals, reports or notices that were filed) at its head office.

Relevant procedures shall specify the responsibility for the fulfillment of the right of inspection insofar as will be required.

4.	Organizational structure and division of functions and responsibility

4.1	Organizational structure for the issue of administrative enforcement (areas of responsibility, reporting chain, decision making, etc.)

4.1.1

Responsibility of the Board of Directors and its committees

4.1.1.1

As the body responsible for outlining the Company’s policy and supervising its performance and acts, the Board of Directors (including its committees) plays a central and decisive role in the formulation and adoption of the Company’s internal enforcement plan and it bears the overall responsibility for the supervision over the actual performance thereof.

Pursuant to the ISA’s requirement that the Board of Directors determine which body is responsible for the supervision over the performance of the enforcement plan (the “Responsible Body”), whether the Board of Directors itself or the Audit Committee or any other committee thereof, the Board of Directors determined that the Audit Committee shall be the Responsible Body as aforesaid.*

Such responsibility of the Audit Committee as the Responsible Body shall be applied through:

Special-purpose meetings for the presentation of the subject.

Presentation, discussion and approval of the outline of the enforcement plan project.

Presentation of the findings of the mapping of the existing situation (compliance survey) and deliberation on the recommendations deriving therefrom.

Presentation, discussion and approval of the procedures comprising the internal enforcement plan.

Handling violations of the enforcement proceedings

The Responsible Body shall ensure that the provisions of the enforcement procedures are applied in practice. In addition, the Responsible Body shall ensure that violations of the plan will be appropriately handled, the deficiencies corrected, conclusions drawn, and in the appropriate cases, measures taken against the violating parties.

(*) Relevant quotations from the minutes of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee are attached hereto, marked as Annex A.

The manner of contact and reporting is specified in Chapter 7 of this plan and was approved by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors as part of the plan’s approval. The Company shall approve in each procedure separately, insofar as necessary, the required sanctions and disciplinary action.

4.1.1.5

Reporting to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee

Determination of a work plan for the fulfillment of all of his obligations pursuant to this plan

The Officer shall be responsible to add as an annex

4.1.5

Internal auditor’s responsibility

The Internal Audit Law, 5752-1992, provides that the internal auditor of the Company is, inter alia, the body responsible for the examination of issues such as: the propriety of the actions of the Company and the officers, the fulfillment of the provisions that are binding on the Company and the carrying out of decision-making processes according to proper procedures and, consequently, contributes to the Company’s compliance and enforcement mechanisms.

In accordance with his or her in-depth familiarity with internal control at the Company, the internal auditor shall take an active part in the deliberations and shaping of the enforcement plan insofar as will be required.

Ongoing supervision:

One of the roles of the internal auditor in the context of an enforcement plan is supervising the activity of the Officer and the enforcement plan (as defined in the ISA Document).

In order to perform such role, the auditor shall set include a periodic audit in his or her work plan, which may include:

Examining the relevance and effectiveness of the enforcement plan, the effectiveness of the Officer’s actions, examining the compliance with the enforcement plan and its procedures once every four years, handling irregular cases that were identified, completing the acts required in the enforcement plan within the required timelines.

5.	Guiding principles/issues addressed

BioLine is a dual-listed company that is listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and on NASDAQ in the U.S.

The Company’s reporting obligations derive mainly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the reports deriving from its compliance with SEC’s requirements are also published in the ISA’s reporting system.

Pursuant to an examination of the violations in the Fifth and Seventh Schedules to the Law, and an examination of the relevance to the Company by the General Counsel and the Officer, the following issues were found to be relevant to the enforcement plan.

5.1	Prospectus/annual report process

Corporations publish a prospectus as part of the process of offering securities or bonds. In addition, under U.S. law, the Company is required to file an annual report with the SEC. The process of preparation of the annual report is similar to the one related to the preparation of a prospectus. The purpose of the prospectus and the annual report is to provide to the general public and to the reasonable investor in particular information that is essential to the decision to purchase the Company’s securities.

In view of the Company’s dual listing, it is obligated to institute a process with regard to a prospectus or annual report (and which is relevant to the process at the main stock exchange) upon the completion of which, the Company shall be able to publish a full, reliable and up-to-date prospectus or report that is approved by any and all relevant bodies and meets all of the regulatory requirements.

The process shall be regulated in the context of a procedure or a checklist, specifying the acts that are required and which shall be updated from time to time and as necessary.

5.2	Reports to the SEC and ISA

The purpose of the reports to the ISA is to update the investors and supervisory bodies on the Company’s condition and on developments or changes in its activity that may be relevant to the investing public. The Company’s reports are based on the reports to the SEC and which are required thereby.

All of the reports must include full, reliable and current information and to fulfill any and all relevant regulatory requirements.

A reporting obligation exists in various cases which affects the content and manner of reporting. This plan deals with three issues that arise from the obligations that apply as a result of the Fifth and Seventh Schedules

5.2.1 Periodic reports – In addition to an extensive annual report, a public company is required to release financial statements on a quarterly basis. In the Company’s case, the structure and content of the reports are audited and supervised according to international accounting standards and the rules of the SEC.

Establishing an internal procedure regarding periodic reporting will assist the Company in minimizing the risks related to the deadline for and appropriateness of the periodic reporting, and the fulfillment and enforcement thereof will assist in the prevention of failures on the part of employees and officers with regard to the subject, directly or indirectly.

5.2.2 Immediate reports – BioLine, as a dual public company, is required to immediately report (according to SEC’s reporting rules) material events which may have an effect on the price of the Company’s securities. The identification of the need to report, the decision on the need to report, the weighing of conflicting interests, the timing and content of the report, requires the Company to have an orderly process, which includes the identification of information which may have to be reported, the consultation with regard to the need to report, and the actual reporting, all within the timeframes prescribed in by applicable regulations.

The purpose of establishing a process and determining rules of activity and conduct is to provide current, accurate and full reporting to the SEC, the ISA and the public, on issues that are regulated in the securities laws and the regulations thereunder.

Establishing an internal procedure regarding immediate reports will assist the Company in minimizing the risks related to the deadline for and appropriateness of the periodic reporting, and the fulfillment and enforcement thereof will assist in the prevention of failures on the part of employees and officers with regard to the subject, directly or indirectly.

5.3	Prohibition on the use of inside information

Inside information is “information on developments in the company, changes in its condition, expected developments or changes, or other information about the company, which is unknown to the public and which, were it to become known to the public, would result in a material change in the price of the Company’s security or the price of another security of which the Company’s security is a basic asset.” It was determined in the legislation that the use of inside information for the purpose of a securities transaction or its transmission to another, are prohibited by law.

Each corporation is required to adopt rules and guidelines in order to fulfill Chapter H1 of the Securities Law including all of its provisions, as well as the U.S. laws which relate to such issue, all in order to prevent the use of inside information by the Company’s employees and other bodies.

It is necessary to put in place a process to cover the identification of the sensitive information, clarify the prohibition to use the same and assimilate it among any and all persons who come into contact with such information.

Establishing an internal procedure regarding the use of inside information will assist the Company in minimizing the risks related to the deadline for and appropriateness of the periodic reporting, and the fulfillment and enforcement thereof will assist in the prevention of failures on the part of employees and officers with regard to the subject, directly or indirectly.

5.4	Transactions with interested parties

Interested party transactions are transactions entered into between one of the interested parties of the company (or between a company affiliated with that party or a person related to it) and the company. Such transactions contain a potential for a conflict of interests that is higher than in ordinary transactions. Therefore, applicable laws and regulations set forth conditions to the approval of such type of transactions, inter alia, the manner of approval thereof by various organs of the corporation (including, under circumstances set forth in the law, an approval by a general meeting of a majority of the shareholders of the company from among the those shareholders who do not have a personal interest in relation to the transaction), and the disclosure to the public of the terms and conditions of the transaction.

In view of the regulatory requirements concerning the identification of such transactions, the manner of approval thereof and reporting thereon, a controlled process should be put in place concerning the subject, in order to reduce the related risks and assist in the prevention of failures in the matter.

5.5	Procedure for period end closing

In accordance with the Companies Law, 5759-1999, the Securities Law and U.S. securities laws, public companies must abide by all disclosure rules and prepare proper financial statements covering all accounting operations. Companies must therefore operate in accordance with orderly and well-defined work procedures, and generate reports conform to accepted accounting practices, according to the provisions of the law. The procedure for period end closing, which is in the advanced stage of drafting, intended to set in order the preparation of the Company’s financial statements.

8.1	Determination of sanctions in events of violation

In view of the ISA determination that “the Company shall institute suitable measures against violating parties, including, in appropriate cases, disciplinary action in respect of anyone violating the provisions of the securities laws or the provisions of the enforcement plan”, the Company shall set forth in each procedure separately, insofar as necessary, the disciplinary action that is required.
