PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED SEPTEMBER 5, 2025

Up to 832,177 Ordinary Shares

Up to 832,177 Pre-funded Warrants to Purchase up to 832,177 Ordinary Shares

Up to 832,177 Series A Ordinary Warrants to Purchase up to 832,177 Ordinary Shares

Up to 832,177 Series B Ordinary Warrants to Purchase up to 832,177 Ordinary Shares

Up to 58,252 Placement Agent Warrants to Purchase up to 58,252 Ordinary Shares

Up to 2,554,783 Ordinary Shares Issuable Upon Exercise of the Series A Ordinary Warrants, Series B Ordinary Warrants Pre-funded Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants

We are offering in a best-efforts offering up to 832,177 ordinary shares (the “shares”), par value $0.0135 per share of Silexion Therapeutics Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“New Silexion”, the “Company”, “our company”, “we” or “us”), together with up to 832,177 series A ordinary warrants, (the “Series A ordinary warrants”) to purchase up to 832,177 ordinary shares and 832,177 series B ordinary warrants, (the “Series B ordinary warrants” and together with the Series A ordinary warrants, the “ordinary warrants”), to purchase up to 832,177 ordinary shares at an assumed public offering price of $7.21 per share and ordinary warrant pursuant to this prospectus, which was the closing price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 2, 2025. The ordinary shares and ordinary warrants will be sold in a fixed combination, with each ordinary share accompanied by one Series A ordinary warrant to purchase one ordinary share and one Series B ordinary warrant to purchase one ordinary share.

We are also offering to those purchasers, if any, whose purchase of our ordinary shares in this offering would otherwise result in such purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding ordinary shares immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity, in lieu of purchasing ordinary shares, to purchase pre-funded warrants to purchase ordinary shares. Each pre-funded warrant will be immediately exercisable for one ordinary share at any time at the option of the holder until such pre-funded warrant is exercised in full, provided that the holder will be prohibited from exercising pre-funded warrants for ordinary shares if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the total number of ordinary shares then issued and outstanding. The assumed purchase price of each pre-funded warrant is $7.2099 (which is equal to the assumed public offering price per share and ordinary warrants to be sold in this offering minus $0.0001, the exercise price per share of each pre-funded warrant). For each pre-funded warrant we sell, the number of ordinary shares we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. The pre-funded warrants will be sold together with ordinary warrants in a fixed combination, with each pre-funded warrant to purchase one ordinary share accompanied by one Series A ordinary warrant to purchase one ordinary share and one Series B ordinary warrant to purchase one ordinary share.

Each ordinary warrant will have an exercise price of $ per share (which will be no less than 100% of the assumed public offering price per share to be sold in this offering), will be exercisable beginning on the effective date of shareholder approval of the issuance of the ordinary shares upon exercise of the ordinary warrants (“Warrant Shareholder Approval”), provided however, if the Pricing Conditions (as defined below) are met, the ordinary warrants will be exercisable upon issuance (the “Initial Exercise Date”). The Series A ordinary warrants and the Series B ordinary warrants will expire on the five (5) year anniversary and 12-month anniversary, respectively, of the Initial Exercise Date. Because we will issue an ordinary warrant for each ordinary share and for each pre-funded warrant sold in this offering, the number of ordinary warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of ordinary shares and pre-funded warrants sold. As used herein, “Pricing Conditions” means that the combined offering price per share and accompanying ordinary warrants is such that the Warrant Shareholder Approval is not required under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) because either (i) the offering is an at-the-market offering under Nasdaq rules and such price equals or exceeds the sum of (a) the applicable “Minimum Price” per share under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) plus (b) $0.125 per whole ordinary share underlying the ordinary warrants or (ii) the offering is a discounted offering where the pricing and discount (including attributing a value of $0.125 per whole share underlying the ordinary warrants) meet the pricing requirements under Nasdaq’s rules.

We are also registering the ordinary shares issuable from time to time upon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants, ordinary warrants and placement agent warrants offered hereby.

Our ordinary shares and warrants are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “SLXN” and “SLXNW,” respectively. On September 4, 2025, the last reported sales price of our ordinary shares was $7.00 per share and the last reported sales price of our warrants was $0.028 per warrant. There is no established public trading market for the ordinary shares being offered and the pre-funded warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of those warrants will be limited. In addition, we do not intend to list the pre-funded warrants or the ordinary warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market, any other national securities exchange or any other trading system.

The public offering price per share and any pre-funded warrant will be determined at the time of pricing, and may be at a discount to the then current market price. The recent market price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price. The final public offering price will be a fixed price determined through negotiation between us and investors based upon a number of factors, including our history and our prospects, the state of the biotechnology industry in which we operate, our recent operating results, including results of our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, and the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering.

This offering will terminate on October 5, 2025, unless we decide to terminate the offering (which we may do at any time in our discretion) prior to that date. We will have one closing for all the securities purchased in this offering. The combined public offering price per share (or pre-funded warrant) and accompanying ordinary warrants will be fixed for the duration of this offering.

We have engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Placement Agent”), to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus. The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities we are offering and the Placement Agent is not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number of securities or dollar amount. We have agreed to pay to the Placement Agent the placement agent fees set forth in the table, which assumes that we sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus. There is no minimum offering requirement as a condition of closing of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us. We will bear all costs associated with the offering and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to pursue our business goals described in this prospectus. In addition, because there is no escrow account and no minimum offering amount, investors could be in a position where they have invested in our company, but we are unable to fulfill all of our contemplated objectives due to a lack of interest in this offering. Further, any proceeds from the sale of securities offered by us will be available for our immediate use, despite uncertainty about whether we would be able to use such funds to effectively implement our business plan. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 114 of this prospectus for more information regarding these arrangements.

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

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.

(1)We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering. We have also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for certain of its offering-related expenses, including a management fee of 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering, to reimburse the Placement Agent for its non-accountable expenses in the amount of $25,000, for its legal fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses in an amount up to $100,000, and for its clearing expenses in the amount of up to $15,950. In addition, we have agreed to issue to the Placement Agent warrants to purchase up to a number of ordinary shares equal to 7.0% of the aggregate number of our ordinary shares and pre-funded warrants being offered, at an exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price of our ordinary shares. See “Plan of Distribution” for additional information and a description of the compensation payable to the Placement Agent.
(2)We estimate the total expenses of this offering payable by us, excluding the placement agent fee, will be approximately 181,116. Because there is no minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds required as a condition to closing in this offering, the actual public offering amount, Placement Agent fees, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the total maximum offering amount set forth above.
(3)Does not include proceeds from the cash exercise of the pre-funded warrants or ordinary warrants, if any. Assumes no pre-funded warrants are issued.

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 6 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.

We expect to deliver the securities to the purchasers in the offering on or about , 2025, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

We and the Placement Agent have not authorized anyone to provide any information or to make any representations other than those contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or in any free writing prospectuses prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We take no responsibility for and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. This prospectus is an offer to sell only the shares offered hereby, but only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. The information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus is accurate only as of its date regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or of any sale of ordinary shares.

To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus, on the one hand, and the information contained in any document incorporated by reference filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) before the date of this prospectus, on the other hand, you should rely on the information in this prospectus. If any statement in a document incorporated by reference is inconsistent with a statement in another document incorporated by reference having a later date, the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.

Neither we nor the Placement Agent have done anything that would permit this offering or possession or distribution of this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required, other than in the United States. Persons who come into possession of this prospectus and any free writing prospectus in jurisdictions outside the United States are required to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions as to this offering and the distribution of this prospectus and any free writing prospectus applicable to that jurisdiction.

This prospectus contains market data and industry statistics and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications and other publicly available information. Although we believe that these sources are reliable, we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information and we have not independently verified this information. Although we are not aware of any misstatements regarding the market and industry data presented or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, these estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and any related free writing prospectus. These and other factors could cause our future performance to differ materially from our assumptions and estimates. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on this information.

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.

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:

●the 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 its 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 its 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 its 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, 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 for the Company; (b) ordinary shares underlying 44,000 outstanding warrants; and (c) ordinary shares underlying the convertible promissory note that the Company has issued to Moringa’s sponsor, Moringa Sponsor, LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the “Sponsor” or “Moringa Sponsor”), in a principal amount of $3,433,000 (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, each of which would dilute your ownership interest and may depress the market price of our ordinary shares; 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; and
●our ability to maintain the listing of our ordinary shares and warrants on the Nasdaq;
●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.
