INTRODUCTION
We are a biopharmaceutical company pursuing life-changing therapies in oncology and rare diseases. Our first approved product, APHEXDA® (motixafortide), a novel peptide for the treatment of stem-cell mobilization and solid tumors, with an indication in the United States for stem cell mobilization for autologous transplantation in multiple myeloma, is being developed and commercialized by Ayrmid Pharma Ltd., or Ayrmid (globally, excluding Asia) and Auspex Bioscience (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (formerly Guangzhou Gloria Biosciences Co., Ltd.), or Gloria (in Asia). We are also advancing the development of motixafortide for patients with pancreatic cancer and other solid tumors outside of Asia.
In September 2025, we entered into a collaboration transaction with Hemispherian AS, or Hemispherian, a Norwegian biotech company focused on small molecule cancer therapeutics, for the development, clinical evaluation and commercialization of GLIX1, Hemispherian’s lead drug candidate, a first-in-class, oral, small molecule targeting DNA damage response in glioblastoma, or GBM, and other cancers.
Our ordinary shares have been trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or TASE, under the symbol “BLRX” since February 2007, and our American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, have been traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, also under the symbol “BLRX,” since July 2011.
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “BioLineRx,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” refer to BioLineRx Ltd., an Israeli company, and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to “ordinary shares”, “ADSs”, “warrants” and “share capital” refer to the ordinary shares, ADSs, warrants and share capital, respectively, of BioLineRx.
We use “APHEXDA” when referring to our FDA approved drug and “motixafortide” when referring to our development of APHEXDA for additional indications. We refer to the license agreements with Ayrmid and Gloria as the Ayrmid License Agreement and Gloria License Agreement, respectively and the collaboration agreement with Hemispherian, as the Collaboration Agreement.
References to “U.S. dollars”, “dollars”, “USD”, and “$” are to currency of the United States of America, and references to “NIS” are to New Israeli Shekels. References to “ordinary shares” are to our ordinary shares, no par value. We report financial information under IFRS Accounting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB. The functional and presentation currency of the Company in this annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, or the Annual Report on Form 20-F, is the U.S. dollar.
Unless otherwise indicated, U.S. dollar translations of NIS amounts presented in this Annual Report on Form 20-F are translated using the rate of NIS 3.19 to $1.00, the exchange rate reported by the Bank of Israel on December 31, 2025.
On January 30, 2025, we effected a change in the ratio of our ADSs to ordinary shares from one ADS representing 15 ordinary shares to a new ratio of one ADS representing 600 ordinary shares. For ADS holders, the ratio change had the same effect as a one-for-forty reverse ADS split. All ADS and related option and warrant information presented in this Annual Report on Form 20-F have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of ADSs and the increase in the ADS price which resulted from this action. Unless otherwise indicated, in this Annual Report on Form 20-F fractional ADSs have been rounded to the nearest whole number.
