In connection with the previously disclosed legal proceedings initiated by Capital Point Ltd. (“Capital Point”) on June 13, 2019 in the District Court of Tel Aviv, on September 11, 2019, Capital Point filed a motion for a preliminary injunction and a temporary injunction against Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (the “Company”) and Univo Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

On the same day, the District Court granted a temporary injunction on an ex parte basis, as requested by Capital Point, until a hearing on the matter is held, which is scheduled for September 18, 2019. The transaction was consummated on September 10, 2019 and the ordinary shares were issued to Univo in accordance with the collaboration agreement prior to the filing of the motion.
