to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for inclusion in the Company’s

The
deadline for the receipt of any qualified stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act shall be not
later than the close of business on October 27, 2026. The Company considers this a reasonable time before the Company begins to print
and send its proxy materials. Each proposal must also comply with Rule 14a-8 and the SEC’s other rules and regulations regarding
the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials.
In
addition, any qualified stockholder seeking to have a nominee to the Board of Directors to be included in the Company’s proxy materials
for the 2025 Annual Meeting must provide notice to the Company of its intent to do so on a Schedule 14N and file that notice with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or before October 30, 2026.
Qualified
stockholder proposals must be received by the Company at its principal executive offices located at 175 Derby St., Bld. 27, Hingham,

Medical® Granted Multiple New Patents, Further Strengthening Its Global Intellectual Property Portfolio
The
Company now holds 44 issued patents and 49 pending patents globally. Commercialization continues to advance across both U.S. and international
markets.
HINGHAM,
Mass., October 20, 2026 — Microbot Medical Inc. (Nasdaq: MBOT), developer and distributor
of the innovative LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System, announced that it has received several new patent approvals
across the U.S., Japan, China and Canada, further strengthening its global intellectual property portfolio as the Company continues to
expand commercial adoption of the LIBERTY® System in the U.S. and position it for growth in key international markets
as it pursues a CE Mark. As a result of these latest developments, the Company now holds 44 issued patents and 49 pending patent applications
across North America, Europe, Israel, and Asia.
The
patent approvals reflect the Company’s ongoing strategy to protect and maximize the value of its innovations through a growing
global intellectual property portfolio. The Company believes that a strong patent estate is critical to supporting future market expansion
and monetizing its novel technology.
“Our
commercial growth since the launch of LIBERTY goes hand in hand with our strategy to enhance and strengthen our intellectual property
portfolio while simultaneously building the global infrastructure needed to support broader market access for the LIBERTY System,”
commented Dr. Sarit Garten, Director of Intellectual Property. “Our R&D and Business Development teams’ ongoing collaboration
is resulting in a robust and diverse intellectual property portfolio, which we expect to expand significantly over the coming months.
These developments align with our strategy for market entry into the EU and other jurisdictions.”
