Form 20-F ☒ Form 40-F ☐ As previously announced by Scinai Immunotherapeutics Ltd. (the “Company”), in anticipation of the signing of the option agreement for the acquisition of the Italian biotech company Pincell srl, the owner of PC111, a monoclonal antibody in development for the treatment of pemphigus vulgaris, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), the parties jointly prepared and submitted a grant application by the Company’s wholly owned Polish subsidiary, seeking Euro 12 million of non-dilutive funding to support the next stage of development of PC111. To facilitate the submission of the application, Pincell exclusively licensed PC111 to the subsidiary. The grant application was submitted under the European Funds for a Modern Economy (FENG) program in Poland. On September 18, 2025, the Company was notified by the National Center for Research and Development in Poland that the grant application was not selected for funding. Under the applicable procedures, this notification represents an interim decision that becomes final only if no appeal is filed within 14 days of receipt or if an appeal, once filed, is ultimately rejected. The Company intends to file an appeal, which is expected to be reviewed within approximately one month after submission, with a final determination anticipated before the end of 2025. The Company believes that certain aspects of the proposed project were misconstrued or misanalyzed in the initial review, and the appeal will focus on addressing these issues. There can be no assurance, however, that the appeal will be successful or that the grant will ultimately be awarded.
