PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED AUGUST 26, 2025

314,859 Ordinary Shares

This prospectus relates to the resale, from time to time, by the securityholders named herein (the “Selling Securityholders”) of up to 314,859 ordinary shares, par value $0.0135 per share (“ordinary shares” or “New Silexion ordinary shares”) of Silexion Therapeutics Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“New Silexion”, the “Company”, “our company”, “we” or “us”), issuable upon the exercise of warrants that were issued in a warrant exercise inducement transaction that occurred in July/August 2025, as further described below under “Prospectus Summary — Recent Developments — July/August 2025 Warrant Exercise Inducement Transaction.”

The Selling Securityholders are identified in the table commencing on page 111. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares by the Selling Securityholders. All net proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus will go to the Selling Securityholders. However, we may receive the proceeds from any exercise of warrants if the holders do not exercise the warrants on a cashless basis. See “Use of Proceeds.”

The Selling Securityholders may sell all or a portion of the ordinary shares from time to time in market transactions through any market on which our ordinary shares are then traded, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, and at prices and on terms that will be determined by the then prevailing market price or at negotiated prices directly or through a broker or brokers, who may act as agent or as principal or by a combination of such methods of sale. The Selling Securityholders will pay all brokerage fees and commissions and similar expenses attributable to their sales of securities. We will pay the expenses (except brokerage fees and commissions and similar expenses) incurred in registering the sale of the securities offered hereby, including legal and accounting fees. See “Plan of Distribution.”

On November 27, 2024 and July 28, 2025, we effected 1-for-9 and 1-for-15 reverse share splits of our authorized ordinary shares, including our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, with market effectiveness dates of November 29, 2024 and July 29, 2025, respectively. Unless specifically provided otherwise herein, all share, per share and related option and warrant information presented in this prospectus has been adjusted (when related to a date or time period prior to the relevant reverse share split(s), on a retroactive basis) to reflect the reduced number of shares and the increase in the share price which resulted from the reverse share split(s).

Our ordinary shares and warrants are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbols “SLXN” and “SLXNW,” respectively. On August 22, 2025, the last reported sales price of our ordinary shares was $7.18 per share and the last reported sales price of our warrants was $0.03 per warrant.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, have elected to comply with reduced public company reporting requirements. This prospectus complies with the requirements that apply to an issuer that is an emerging growth company.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7 of this prospectus, and under similar headings in any amendments or supplements to this prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities, or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-1 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using the “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, the Selling Securityholders may, from time to time, sell the ordinary shares offered by them described in this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by such Selling Securityholders of the ordinary shares offered by them described in this prospectus, except with respect to amounts received by us upon exercise of warrants to the extent such warrants are exercised for cash. Given the current price level of our ordinary shares, there is no certainty that warrant holders will exercise their warrants and, accordingly, we may not receive any proceeds in relation to our outstanding warrants.

Neither we nor the Selling Securityholders have authorized anyone to provide you with any information or to make any representations other than those contained in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectuses prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. Neither we nor the Selling Securityholders take responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. Neither we nor the Selling Securityholders will make an offer to sell these ordinary shares in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

We may also provide a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement to add information to, or update or change information contained in, this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement together with the additional information to which we refer you in the section of this prospectus titled“Where You Can Find More Information.”

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this prospectus to “New Silexion”, “we”, “us,” “our,” “the Company”, “our company”, the “combined company” and similar terms refer to Silexion Therapeutics Corp (formerly known as Biomotion Sciences), a Cayman Islands exempted company, and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to “Silexion” refer to Silexion Therapeutics Ltd., an Israeli company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and references to “Moringa” refer to Moringa Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. References to the “Business Combination” refer collectively to the transactions completed on August 15, 2024 pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2024 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among New Silexion, August M.S. Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Silexion (“Merger Sub 1”), Moringa Acquisition Merger Sub Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Silexion (“Merger Sub 2”), Moringa and Silexion. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, (i) Merger Sub 2 merged with and into Moringa, with Moringa continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Silexion (the “SPAC Merger”) and (ii) Merger Sub 1 merged with and into Silexion, with Silexion continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Silexion (the “Acquisition Merger”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) on August 15, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), New Silexion changed its name from “Biomotion Sciences” to “Silexion Therapeutics Corp”, and the ordinary shares and warrants of New Silexion commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “SLXN” and “SLXNW”, respectively, on August 16, 2024. On July 8, 2025, the listing of the ordinary shares and warrants of New Silexion was transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market.

This prospectus contains summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of some of the documents referred to herein have been filed, will be filed or will be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and you may obtain copies of those documents as described below under “Where You Can Find More Information”.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements contained in this prospectus that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements. Certain statements in this prospectus may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s and the Company’s management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus may include, for example, statements about:

●our ability to maintain the listing of our ordinary shares and our warrants on Nasdaq;
●our future performance, including our projected timeline for regulatory approvals of our product candidates;
●our market opportunity;
●our strategy, future operations, financial position, projected costs, prospects and plans;
●expectations regarding the time during which we will be an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act;
●our ability to retain or recruit officers, key employees and directors;
●the impact of the regulatory environment and complexities with compliance related to such environment;
●expectations regarding future partnerships or other relationships with third parties; and
●our future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash, including the our ability to obtain additional capital in the future.

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus and in any document incorporated by reference are based on current expectations, forecasts and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting we will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following factors:

●we are a development-stage company and have a limited operating history on which to assess our business;
●we have never generated any revenue from product sales and may never be profitable;
●we will need to raise substantial additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and which will cause dilution to our shareholders;
●the approach we are taking to discover and develop novel RNAi therapeutics is unproven for oncology and may never lead to marketable products;
●we do not have experience producing our product candidates at commercial levels, currently have no marketing and sales organization, have an uncertain market receptiveness to our product candidates, and are uncertain as to whether there will be insurance coverage and reimbursement for its potential products;
●we may be unable to attract, develop and/or retain its key personnel or additional employees required for our development and future success;
●we may issue additional ordinary shares or other equity securities without your approval, which would dilute your ownership interest and may depress the market price of our ordinary shares, including: (a) up to $11.9 million of ordinary shares that remain issuable under the Ordinary Share Purchase Agreement, dated August 13, 2024 and effective as of August 15, 2024, by and between the Company and White Lion Capital, LLC (“White Lion”) (the “White Lion Purchase Agreement” or “ELOC Agreement”), which established an equity line of credit (the “ELOC”) for the Company; (b) ordinary shares that may be issued upon conversion of outstanding amounts under the convertible promissory note, in a principal amount of $3,433,000, that the Company issued to Moringa’s sponsor, Moringa Sponsor, LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the “Sponsor” or “Moringa Sponsor”) (the “A&R Sponsor Promissory Note”), in amendment and restatement of all promissory notes previously issued by Moringa to the Sponsor for funds borrowed between Moringa’s initial public offering and the completion of the Business Combination; (c) ordinary shares underlying 44,000 outstanding warrants that replaced, on a one-for-one basis, all outstanding public and private Moringa warrants upon the Closing of the Business Combination; and (d) 394,636 additional ordinary shares underlying outstanding warrants that we have issued in private placement or public offering financing transactions since the Closing of the Business Combination (which includes the ordinary shares underlying warrants registered for resale under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part);
●we may not succeed at achieving at least $2.5 million of shareholders’ equity and restoring our compliance with the Equity Standard of the Nasdaq Capital Market and may therefore have our securities delisted from Nasdaq; and
●those additional factors described or incorporated by reference under the heading “Risk Factors” below.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. Accordingly, forward-looking statements in this prospectus and in any document incorporated herein by reference should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this prospectus, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. Those statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and such statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. Those statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon those statements.
