$APOP Dual-Listed #Cellect to Voluntarily File for #Delisting from #TASE

Company’s Securities to Continue Trading Only on NASDAQ Stock Exchange in US

TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 14, 2017 — Cellect Biotechnology Ltd. (Nasdaq:APOP) (TASE:APOP), a developer of stem cells isolation technology, announced today that it will file a petition with the Israeli court and Company shareholders to voluntarily delist Cellect from the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) in accordance with section 350 to the Israeli Company Law. Should the petition be approved, all shareholders will retain their pro-rated holdings, as trading will migrate to the NASDAQ Stock Exchange in the US.

Company Chairman, Mr. Nuriel Chirich Kasbian commented, “Cellect is a leader in the Stem Cells therapeutic area with multi-billion dollar market potential for our transformative, patented technology and products. In order to maximize the value of the Company for all stakeholders, we believe being solely listed on NASDAQ in the US is most appropriate for Cellect at this time.  Based on our experience, it is clear to us that the US market better understands our vision and will demonstrate a stronger appreciation for the attractive long-term investment opportunity Cellect represents.”

The key factors driving Cellect’s voluntary request for delisting from TASE include:

• Investors globally have demonstrated a stronger appreciation for life sciences companies listed solely on NASDAQ as opposed to companies with similar profiles listed on TASE or with dual listings on TASE and NASDAQ.
• Cellect expects higher trading liquidity over time with a sole listing on NASDAQ vs. remaining dual listed.

Dr. Shai Yarkoni, Cellect CEO commented, “We are proud to be an Israeli company with innovative technology in a field that has the potential to transform medicine. It is our duty to ensure that our shares are traded on an exchange where our technology and business can be appropriately valued by investors.  To date, Cellect has successfully executed on its development and business goals, as planned, and we look forward to achieving further progress with our ongoing clinical trial and securing additional value-creating partnerships for the Company’s technology.  Cellect remains focused on creating long-term shareholder value, and we are confident that a sole listing on NASDAQ is an important step toward accomplishing this objective.”
