Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 4, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Entera Bio Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), expanded Class II of the Board from one to two directors and appointed Ms. Haya Taitel to fill the resulting vacancy. Ms. Taitel will serve as a director until the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until her successor shall have been elected and qualified, subject to her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Ms. Taitel is expected to serve on the Board’s Science Affairs Committee.

Ms. Taitel, age 60, has over 30 years of global C-level biopharma commercial and strategic executive experience. Ms. Taitel currently serves as the Head of Sanofi’s Global Transplant Franchise where she is responsible for increasing franchise growth and profitability. Prior to her role at Sanofi, Ms. Taitel served as the Chief Commercial Officer of Kadmon Pharmaceuticals, LLC, where she contributed to the launch of Rezurock®, from 2013 until the company was acquired by Sanofi for $1.9 billion in November 2021. Ms. Taitel also led Kadmon Board’s Executive Commercial Committee. From 1997 to 2012, Ms. Taitel had held various commercial leadership positions of increasing seniority at Johnson and Johnson in multiple therapeutic areas, including oncology, immunology, neurology and women’s healthcare. Ms. Taitel holds a Master of Science, Pharmacology, (PharmD equivalence) from Temple University and a Bachelor of Science, Pharmacy and Biology from the Hebrew University School of Pharmacy in Jerusalem, Israel.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Taitel and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Taitel was appointed as a director of the Company. The Board has determined that Mrs. Taitel is independent under the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Since the beginning of Company’s last fiscal year, the Company has not engaged in any transaction, or any currently proposed transaction, in which Ms. Taitel had or will have a direct or indirect material interest that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

Ms. Taitel will participate in the Company’s standard non-employee director compensation arrangements which were approved by the Company’s shareholders in October 2021 and include the right to annual cash payments with respect to Board and applicable committee service and an annual grant of options under the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan.
