On March 30, 2022, Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of its Board of Directors (the “Board”) by one and appointed Mr. Yadin Rozov to serve as a director to fill the resulting vacancy, effective as of April 1, 2022.

 

The Board has not yet taken action to appoint Mr. Rozov to any committees of the Board.

 

Mr. Rozov, age 44, is currently an investment professional with over twenty years of experience in capital markets, corporate finance, investment banking and investment management, with substantial experience in corporate strategy and governance. He is the founder of Terrace Edge Ventures LLC, a financial advisory firm, and has served as its managing partner since January 2022. From 2019 to 2021, Mr. Rozov was a Partner at GoldenTree Asset Management LLC, a leading global credit asset management firm. From 2019 to 2021, Mr. Rozov also served as the Chief Executive Officer and President of Syncora Guarantee Inc. and from 2020 to 2021, as Chief Executive Officer of Financial Guaranty UK Ltd, each of which is a stand-alone specialty insurance company owned by GoldenTree. From 2009 to 2019, he was a Partner and Managing Director at Moelis & Company where he headed the Financial Institution Advisory group and was on the Management Committee of Moelis Asset Management. From 2014 to 2019, Mr. Rozov helped co-found College Avenue Student Loans LLC and served on its board and co-founded Chamonix Partners Capital Management LLC. From 2007 to 2009, Mr. Rozov was a Managing Director at UBS AG, where he was the Head of the Americas for the Repositioning Group. Mr. Rozov holds an M.Sc. in data science from Columbia University and a bachelor’s degree with highest honors in physics and materials engineering from Rutgers University.

 

As remuneration for his service as a director, Mr. Rozov will receive the same fees as the Company’s other non-executive directors. Except as otherwise set forth herein, there is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Rozov and any other person pursuant to which he was elected as a director, and there are no transactions in which Mr. Rozov has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In connection with Mr. Rozov’s appointment, the Company expects to enter into its standard indemnification agreement with Mr. Rozov, on substantially the same terms as the indemnification agreements previously entered into between the Company and each of its directors and executive officers.
