This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends the statement on Schedule 13G filed on November 9, 2015 (the "Original Schedule 13G" and the Original Schedule 13G as amended, the "Schedule 13G"), with respect to Ordinary Shares, NIS 0.01 par value (the "Ordinary Shares"), of Vascular Biogenics Ltd.

The information as of the date of the event which requires filing of this statement required by Items 4(a) – (c) is set forth in Rows 5 – 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person hereto and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person.
