Amendment Agreement
 
BioLineRx Ltd. (the “Company”) announced today that on October 2, 2018 it amended its license agreement with Biokine Therapeutics Ltd. (“Biokine”), originally dated September 2, 2012, relating to the in-licensing rights to BL-8040.  The Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”) reduces the payment owed by the Company to Biokine on Sublicense Receipts (as defined in the License Agreement) from 40% to 20% of Sublicense Receipts in exchange for (i) a cash payment from the Company to Biokine of $10 million; (ii) the issuance of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) representing the Company’s ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.10 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), with a value of $5 million and at a price per ADS based on the volume-weighted average trading price of the ADSs on The Nasdaq Capital Market over the prior 30-day period; and (iii) the payment of certain future milestone payments, up to an aggregate of $5 million in total, as specified in the Amendment. Additionally, in certain limited instances, if the Company enters into a Sublicense (as defined in the License Agreement) within a defined period, the Company will pay Biokine an additional 10% of any upfront Sublicense Receipts received by the Company as a result of such Sublicense. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into between the Company and Biokine on October 2, 2018 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), the ADSs to be held by Biokine will be subject to a six-month lock-up and thereafter to volume restrictions on trading. The terms of the License Agreement otherwise remain unchanged and in full force and effect. The completion of the purchase and sale of the ADSs is expected to take place within 10 days of the Amendment’s execution.

Date of Issuance:  October 2, 2018 (“Issuance Date”)
 
This certifies that, for value received, KREOS CAPITAL V (EXPERT FUND) L.P. or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, subject to the terms set forth herein, to purchase from BIOLINE RX LTD., an Israeli company (the “Company”), the number of Warrant ADS’s (as defined below) specified herein, upon: (a) surrender of this Warrant; (b) delivery of a either (i) Notice of Exercise or (ii) Notice of Cashless Exercise, as applicable, each, substantially in the form annexed hereto, duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder; and (c) either (i) simultaneous payment therefor of the Exercise Price as set forth in Section 4 below in the event of exercise under Section 6.1(b), (ii) a calculation of the number of Warrant ADS’s to be issued in the event of a cashless exercise provided for in Section 6.1(c). The number and Exercise Price of Warrant ADS’s are subject to adjustment as provided below.
 
This Warrant is issued in connection with that certain Agreement for the Provision of a Loan Facility of up to US$10,000,000, dated as of October 2, 2018 (the “Loan Agreement”). Any term not defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Loan Agreement.
 
1.
Term of Warrant
 
 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time during the term commencing on the date hereof and ending at the earliest of: (i) 16:00 Israel time on October 2, 2028 (the tenth anniversary of the date hereof); or (ii) immediately prior to the consummation of a merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the Company with or into, or the sale or license of all or substantially all the assets or shares of the Company to, any other entity or person, other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, excluding any transaction in which shareholders of the Company prior to the transaction will hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting and economic rights of the surviving entity after the transaction, other than an equity financing transaction (an “M&A Transaction”) (the “Term”), and shall be void thereafter; provided, that the Company shall notify the Holder in writing at least 14 days prior to the end of the Term and provide to the Holder such information relevant thereto as the Holder may reasonably request during such 14 day period for the purpose of making a determination with regard to the exercise of the Warrant hereunder. If the Company fails to provide the aforementioned notice of expiration, then the Term shall be extended until 14 days after actual notice is provided. Notwithstanding the above, unless this Warrant is exercised before the tenth anniversary of the date hereof, then upon such date, this Warrant shall be deemed to be automatically exercised in full into Warrant ADS’s by way of Cashless Exercise without any notice requirement on the part of the Holder.
 

 
2.
Warrant ADS’s 
 
The shares issuable to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant (or any part thereof) (the “Warrant ADS’s”) shall be the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADS’s”). For purposes of clarification, each ADS represents one ordinary share, par value NIS 0.10 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of the Company.
 
It is agreed that the Warrant ADS’s issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall upon their issuance bear identical financial rights and obligations as the other Warrant ADS’s issued by the Company from time to time.
 
3.
Warrant Amount
 
The term “Warrant Amount” shall mean US$900,000.
 
4.
Exercise Price
 
The exercise price per Warrant Share (the “Exercise Price”) at which this Warrant may be exercised shall be US$0.9399 (subject to adjustment as set forth in this Warrant).
 
5.
Number of Warrant ADS’s Available for Purchase
 
This Warrant may be exercised to purchase up to such number of Warrant ADS’s determined by dividing the Warrant Amount by the Exercise Price (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 14 hereof).
 
6.
Exercise of Warrant
 
6.1.
Manner of Exercise
 
This Warrant is exercisable by the Holder, in whole or in part, on one or more occasions, at any time and from time to time, during the Term, by the surrender of this Warrant and the applicable Notice of Exercise annexed hereto, duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at the principal office of the Company.
 
(a)    Delivery of Securities Upon Exercise.  On or before the first (1st) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by fax or email an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Depositary (“Depositary”) for the ADSs.  The “Share Delivery Date” shall be on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice.  On the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall (X) issue and deposit with the Depositary a number of Ordinary Shares that will be represented by the number of Warrant ADSs to which the Holder is entitled in respect of that exercise, (Y) pay the fee of the Depositary for the issuance of that number of ADSs and (Z) instruct the Depositary to execute and deliver to that Holder an American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) evidencing that number of Warrant ADSs. Subject to Israeli law limitations, the Company shall cause the ADSs to be issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
 
2

(b)    Payment of Exercise Price.  Within two (2) Trading Days of the date of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall make payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant ADSs as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in paragraph  (c) below is specified in the applicable Exercise Notice.
 
(c)    Cashless Exercise.  The Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (b) above, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number of ADSs determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
 
 
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
 
 
X = the Net Number of Warrant ADSs to be issued to the Holder.
 
 
 
Y = the number of Warrant ADSs with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
 
 
 
A = the Closing Sale Price of the ADSs on the Principal Market immediately prior to (but no including) the Exercise Date.
 
 
 
B = the Exercise Price.
  
(d)    Fractional Shares.  No fractional ADSs are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fractional share of an ADS would, except for the provisions of the prior sentence, be deliverable upon such exercise, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the exercising Holder an amount in cash equal to the Closing Sale Price on the Principal Market of such fractional ADS on the date of exercise.  For the purposes of this Warrant, “Closing Sale Price” means, for any security as of any date, the last trade price for such security on the Principal Market, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing trade price, as the case may be, then the last trade price, respectively, of such security prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, the last trade price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last trade price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the closing bid and closing ask prices of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.).  If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder.  All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period. Principal Market” for the purposes of this Warrant shall mean The NASDAQ Capital Market.
 
3

(e)    Rule 144.  For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as in effect on the date hereof, it is intended that the Warrant ADSs issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant ADSs shall be deemed to have commenced as of the Issuance Date.
 
(f)     Disputes.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant ADSs, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant ADSs that are not disputed.
 
(g)    Other Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any or all of the Warrants may not be exercised on the record date with respect to the distribution of bonus shares, offer by way of rights issue, distribution of dividends, consolidation of share capital, consolidation of shares, reduction or split in share capital or company split (each hereinafter referred to as a “Corporate Event”). In addition, if the ex-date with respect to a Corporate Event occurs before the record date relating to such Corporate Event, then the exercise of Warrants shall not occur on such ex-date.
 
6.2.
Conditional Exercise
 
In connection with an M&A Transaction, the exercise of this Warrant may be made conditional upon the closing of such transaction. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing at least 14 days prior to the closing of such transaction and include in such notice the material terms of such transaction, and provide the Holder with any updates and changes to the material terms thereof promptly in writing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full in the manner set forth in Section 6.1(c), without any further action on behalf of the Holder, immediately prior to an M&A Transaction.
 
6.3.
Result of Exercise
 
This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, or, if exercised pursuant to Section 6.2 above, immediately prior to the closing (or consummation, as the case may be) of an M&A Transaction and the person entitled to receive the Warrant ADS’s issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date, or the closing date of such event. As promptly as practicable on or after such date and in any event within seven (7) days thereafter, at the Holder’s request, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for the remaining number of Warrant ADS’s for which this Warrant may then be exercised. Notwithstanding the above, the Holder shall not be permitted to exercise this Warrant in part unless such exercise is for a Warrant Amount of at least US$ 250,000 per exercise, unless the remaining part of the Warrant Amount is less than US$ 250,000.

8.
Rights of Shareholders
 
Subject to Section 14 of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, until this Warrant or any portion hereof shall have been exercised and the Warrant ADS’s shall have been issued, as provided herein.

5

The Company further covenants that all Warrant ADS’s and Conversion Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and will be free from all taxes, liens, and charges in respect of the issue thereof. The Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers to register the Holder as the owner of Warrant ADS’s and Conversion Shares, and to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Warrant ADS’s and Conversion Shares, upon the exercise of this Warrant and the conversion of the Warrant ADS’s, respectively.
 
13.
Amendments and Waivers 
 
Any term of this Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. No waivers of, or exceptions to any term, condition or provision of this Warrant, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.
 
14.
Adjustments
 
The Exercise Price and the number and class of Warrant ADS’s purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
14.1.
Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Ordinary Shares or ADSs.  If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Ordinary Shares or ADSs into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant ADSs will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Ordinary Shares or ADSs into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant ADSs will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 14 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
7

 
14.2.
Anti-Dilution Adjustment.
 
If, while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, and to the extent that the Company no longer is a public company with publicly traded securities,  if in such event the Company issues or sells any class or series of securities or any instrument convertible into securities of the Company at a price per share such that the class of Warrant ADS’s into which this Warrant is exercisable are entitled to an anti-dilution adjustment, or if the conversion price of the class of Warrant ADS’s into which this Warrant is exercisable is otherwise being reduced, then the anti-dilution mechanism applicable to the class of the Warrant ADS’s (if any) shall be applicable with respect to the Warrant ADS’s issuable hereunder as if this Warrant had been exercised prior to the issuance of such new securities.
 
14.3.
Other Events.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 14 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company’s Board of Directors shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant ADSs so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 14 shall increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant ADSs as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 14.
 
14.4.
Certificate as to Adjustments
 
Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section14, the Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder of this Warrant, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments; (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect; and (iii) the number of ADS’s and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

Exhibit 99.1

 
BioLineRx Increases Stake in BL-8040, its Lead Oncology
Platform in Late Stage Development for
Multiple Oncology Indications

Transaction increases BioLineRx’s stake by 20%, to 80%, ahead of numerous
potential value-creating milestones

Top-line results from ongoing Phase 2a pancreatic cancer study in combination
with KEYTRUDA® expected this quarter

Management to hold conference call today, October 3, at 10:00 am EDT

Tel Aviv, Israel, October 3, 2018 - BioLineRx Ltd. (NASDAQ/TASE:BLRX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on oncology and immunology, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Biokine Therapeutics to increase BioLineRx’s stake in its lead oncology platform, BL-8040, a CXCR4 antagonist currently in late stage clinical development in both solid tumor and hematological indications, including stem cell mobilization (SCM), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and immunotherapy for multiple types of solid tumors. As a result of the transaction, BioLineRx will increase its economic stake in the program to 80% from the previous level of 60%. BioLineRx licensed the exclusive worldwide rights to BL-8040 from Biokine Therapeutics in 2012.

“We are very pleased to execute this transaction with Biokine Therapeutics, which provides us with a significantly greater share of the economics in our lead program, BL-8040, as we continue to advance this promising candidate through late-stage clinical development,” stated Philip Serlin, Chief Executive Officer of BioLineRx. “In multiple clinical studies to date in a number of indications, BL-8040’s unique mechanism of action has demonstrated robust mobilization of target cells, a direct apoptotic effect, as well as the ability to induce infiltration of T cells into the core and periphery of solid tumors, while maintaining a favorable safety profile. Looking forward, we are approaching multiple important milestones over the next 6-9 months, most notably topline results from our ongoing Phase 2a pancreatic cancer study in combination with KEYTRUDA under our collaboration with Merck, which we expect later this quarter. As we work to bring novel cancer treatments to patients in need, we believe this transaction reflects our strong commitment to this program and better positions us to create significant long-term value for our shareholders.”


Under the terms of the agreement, upon closing of the transaction, BioLineRx will pay Biokine Therapeutics an upfront payment of $10 million in cash plus $5 million in restricted BioLineRx shares. Biokine is also eligible to receive up to a total of $5 million in future milestone payments. The $10 million upfront payment is being financed in full via the receipt of $10 million in debt financing from Kreos Capital. See the Company’s Form 6-K filed this morning for additional details about the transaction. The transaction is expected to close within the next 10 days.

About BL-8040
BL-8040 is a short synthetic peptide for stem cell mobilization and for treatment of hematological malignancies and solid tumors. It functions as a high-affinity best-in-class antagonist for CXCR4, a chemokine receptor that is directly involved in the retention of stems cells in the bone marrow, as well as tumor progression, angiogenesis, metastasis and cell survival. CXCR4 is over-expressed in more than 70% of human cancers and its expression often correlates with disease severity.
 
HSCs express CXCR4 and are retained in the protective bone marrow niche via binding to CXCL12 (also known as SDF-1). Blocking of the CXCR4-SDF1 interaction by BL-8040 leads to the mobilization of HSCs into the peripheral blood. In a number of clinical and pre-clinical studies, BL-8040 has shown robust mobilization of HSCs.
 
Furthermore, BL-8040 induce mobilization of leukemic cells and immune-cells from the bone marrow, thereby sensitizing leukemic cells to chemo- and bio-based anti-cancer therapy, as well as a direct anti-cancer effect by inducing cell death (apoptosis). BL-8040 was licensed by BioLineRx from Biokine Therapeutics and was previously developed under the name BKT-140.
