ITEM 7.01
REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

On January 11, 2010, Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. issued a press release announcing that it had filed two registration statements on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

One registration statement relates to a proposed public offering by Oramed of 24 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 12 million shares of common stock, as well as warrants to purchase up to approximately 2.5 million shares of common stock issuable to the placement agent of the offering.

This offering shall be made only by means of a prospectus. Copies of the preliminary prospectus, when available, may be obtained from Oramed.  The registration statement may be accessed through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Oramed expects to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund its planned research and development activities, as well as some other general and administrative costs.
 
The second filing is a shelf registration statement relating to a resale offering by certain Oramed stockholders of approximately 8.5 million shares of common stock and approximately 4.8 million shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by stockholders of Oramed who purchased such securities in private placement transactions.
 
A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
