EXPLANATORY NOTE
On September 12, 2017,
NeuroDerm Ltd. (the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary Meeting”)
to consider and vote on a proposal (the “Merger Proposal”) to approve the acquisition of NeuroDerm by Mitsubishi Tanabe
Pharma Corporation, a Japanese corporation (“MTPC”), including, among other things, the adoption of an Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of July 24, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, MTPC, and MT Porto Ltd.,
an Israeli company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MTPC (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with
and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary of MTPC. At the Extraordinary Meeting, shareholders of the Company approved the Merger Proposal by the requisite majority
under Israeli law. The Company has obtained all of the antitrust approvals and clearances required for the merger. Subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company expects the Merger to be completed
in mid-October 2017 following the expiration of a mandatory 30-day waiting period following the shareholder approval in accordance
with Israeli law.
The Merger Proposal
was described in the proxy statement, dated August 17, 2017, distributed by the Company to its shareholders, which was attached
as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K (“Form 6-K”), furnished to the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 2017.

release announcing the voting results at the Extraordinary Meeting is attached to this Form 6-K as Exhibit 99.1.
