Microbot Medical Inc. Announces European Patent Office’s Intent to Grant Patent for
Device for the Prevention of Shunt Stenosis

Hingham, MA – June 18, 2018 – Microbot Medical Inc. (Nasdaq CM: MBOT), a medical device company specializing in the design and development of transformational micro-robotic medical technologies, today announced that the European Patent Office (EPO) has notified the Company that it will grant a patent for Application No. 12837337.0, covering a device for the prevention of stenosis in blood vessels, especially for use on blood vessels adjacent to a hemodialysis shunt.

“We continue to execute on all fronts – the concurrent success with the two pe-clinical studies and now another patent protecting our continuously expanding IP platform, especially in the developed markets such as the EU,” commented Harel Gadot, CEO, President and Chairman. “Today’s announcement highlights our commitment to leverage our technological platform to develop multi-generation pipeline of transformational products to address a true unmet need, while aiming to secure and pursue additional patents around the world over the coming few months.”

About Microbot Medical, Inc.

Microbot™, which was founded in 2010 and commenced operations in 2011, became a NASDAQ listed company on November 28, 2016. The Company specializes in transformational micro-robotic medical technologies leveraging the natural and artificial lumens within the human body. Microbot’s current technological platforms platforms, ViRob^TM, TipCAT^TM and CardioSert^TM, are comprised of three highly advanced technologies, from which the Company is currently developing its first product candidate: the Self Cleaning Shunt, or SCS^TM, for the treatment of hydrocephalus and Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, or NPH; and focusing on the development of a Multi Generation Pipeline Portfolio (MGPP) utilizing all technologies. Further information about Microbot Medical is available at http://www.microbotmedical.com.

The ViRob^TM technology is a revolutionary autonomous crawling micro-robot which can be controlled remotely or within the body. Its miniature dimensions allow it to navigate and crawl in different spaces within the human body, including blood vessels, the digestive tract and the respiratory system. Its unique structure gives it the ability to move in tight spaces and curved passages as well as the ability to remain within the human body for prolonged time. To learn more about ViRob^TM please visit http://www.microbotmedical.com/technology/virob/.

TipCAT^TM is a transformational self-propelled, flexible, and semi-disposable endoscope providing see & treat capabilities within tubular lumens in the human body such as the colon, blood vessels, and the urinary tract. Its locomotion mechanism is perfectly suitable to navigate and crawl through natural & artificial tubular lumens, applying the minimal necessary pressure to achieve the adequate friction required for gentle, fast, and safe advancement within the human body. To learn more about TipCAT^TM, visit http://www.microbotmedical.com/technology/tipcat/.

CardioSert^TM technology is a unique combination of a guidewire and microcatheter, technologies that are broadly used for endoluminal surgery. The CardioSert^TM technology features unique steering and stiffness control capabilities, and it was originally developed to support interventional cardiologists in crossing the most complex lesions called chronic total occlusion (CTO) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures and has the potential to be used in other spaces and applications, such as peripheral intervention, neurosurgery and urology. CardioSert^TM was part of a technological incubator supported by the Israel Innovation Authorities (formerly known as the Office of the Chief Scientist, or OCS), and its device has successfully completed pre-clinical testing.
