withholding tax financial
"updates on Withholding Tax Procedures on Previously Announced Cash Dividend"
Withholding tax is a government-required portion of a payment—such as dividends, interest, or salary—that the payer keeps back and sends directly to tax authorities before the recipient receives the money. For investors it reduces the cash they actually get and changes the after-tax return on an investment; rates and refund or credit rules vary by country and can materially affect comparisons between similar investments, like a cashier holding part of a bill to cover taxes.
Reduced Withholding Tax Rate financial
"may be eligible for a reduced Israeli withholding tax rate (a “Reduced Withholding Tax Rate”)"
substantial shareholder financial
"the current rate of Israeli withholding tax on dividends paid ... is 30% for distributions to a “substantial shareholder”"
Record Date financial
"to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 23, 2026 (the “Record Date”)"
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
plasma-derived therapies financial
"a leader in the specialty plasma-derived therapies field"
Plasma-derived therapies are medical products made from proteins extracted from donated blood plasma, used to treat immune deficiencies, bleeding disorders and other chronic conditions. Think of them like concentrated ingredients pulled from a large pot of soup to make a targeted remedy; their manufacture depends on steady donations, complex processing and strict regulation. For investors, that means revenue can be recurring and resilient but also sensitive to supply bottlenecks, regulatory changes and pricing pressures.
Form 20-F regulatory
"As set out in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025"
Form 20-F is the standardized annual disclosure that non-U.S. companies must file with the U.S. securities regulator when their shares are traded in the U.S.; it contains audited financial statements, a plain-language description of the business, management discussion, governance details and key risk factors. It matters to investors because it provides a consistent, comparable company “report card” and rulebook, helping buyers assess financial health, governance and risks before investing.

Kamada Updates on Withholding Tax Procedures on Previously Announced Cash Dividend to Shareholders

 

REHOVOT, Israel, and HOBOKEN, NJ – March 31, 2026 – Kamada Ltd. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a global biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of marketed products indicated for rare and serious conditions and a leader in the specialty plasma-derived field, announced today that it has obtained a tax ruling (the “Ruling”) from the Israel Tax Authority (the “ITA”) with respect to the cash dividend of $0.25 (approximately NIS 0.77) per share on the Company’s ordinary shares (totaling approximately $14.4 million) announced on March 11, 2026 (the “Dividend”), expected to be paid on April 7, 2026 (the “Payment Date”), to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 23, 2026 (the “Record Date”).

 

As a result of the Ruling, shareholders who hold Company shares as of the Record Date that trade such shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq Shareholders”) and are residents of a country with which Israel has a tax treaty (“Treaty State”) may be eligible for a reduced Israeli withholding tax rate (a “Reduced Withholding Tax Rate”) on their share of the Dividend (the “Nasdaq Dividend”), in comparison to the generally applicable Israeli withholding tax rate under certain terms and conditions as generally set forth below. In addition, Nasdaq Shareholders that are Israeli corporate shareholders may be eligible for an exemption from Israeli withholding tax, under the terms and conditions set forth in the Ruling and generally described below.

 

The description below is not intended to constitute a complete review of withholding tax procedures related to the distribution of the Nasdaq Dividend, nor does it address the tax liability of any Nasdaq Shareholder. It merely pertains to the Israeli withholding tax procedures concerning the distribution of the Nasdaq Dividend to Nasdaq Shareholders. All shareholders, including Nasdaq Shareholders, are advised to consult their own tax and financial advisors regarding the tax consequences of their specific situations, as well as any tax implications that may arise under the laws of any applicable state, local, foreign, or other taxing jurisdiction.

 

In order to facilitate the implementation of the procedures set forth in the Ruling for the benefit of Nasdaq Shareholders, the Company appointed IBI Trust Management to serve as a processing agent for the benefit of the Nasdaq Shareholders in connection with the distribution of the Nasdaq Dividend (the “Tax Agent”).

 

Forms required to be submitted to the Tax Agent to benefit from a Reduced Withholding Tax Rate in accordance with the Ruling, as generally described below, are available at the following link - here (the full link appears below, in the Tax Agent’s contact information).

 

General Withholding Tax Treatment under Israeli Law

 

As set out in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2026, with respect to dividends sourced from regular earnings, under the Israeli Tax Ordinance and regulations issued under the Israeli Tax Ordinance, the current rate of Israeli withholding tax on dividends paid by an Israeli company is 30% for distributions to a “substantial shareholder” (in general, a person who holds, directly or indirectly, alone or together with another, 10% or more of any means of control in the company) and 25% with respect to distributions to all other shareholders.

3. Nasdaq Shareholders who declare residency in a Treaty State and the sole beneficial ownership of the Nasdaq Dividend may apply to the Tax Agent to receive (subject to meeting documentation and other requirements) the difference between the 25% tax remitted to the Tax Agent and the withholding tax rate specified in the applicable tax treaty.

FAQ

What dividend did Kamada (KMDA) confirm in this 6-K?

Kamada confirmed a previously announced cash dividend of $0.25 per ordinary share, approximately NIS 0.77, totaling about $14.4 million. The dividend is expected to be paid on April 7, 2026, to shareholders of record as of March 23, 2026.

How can Kamada (KMDA) Nasdaq shareholders benefit from reduced Israeli withholding tax?

Nasdaq shareholders in countries with an Israeli tax treaty may obtain a Reduced Withholding Tax Rate on the dividend by submitting required forms to IBI Trust Management. They must provide all documentation specified in the ruling to the Tax Agent no later than May 9, 2026.

What are the standard Israeli withholding tax rates on Kamada (KMDA) dividends?

Under Israeli law, dividends from regular earnings are generally subject to 30% withholding for a “substantial shareholder” holding at least 10% control, and 25% for other shareholders. The new ruling allows certain Nasdaq shareholders to apply for reduced rates under specific conditions.

Who is handling the tax documentation process for Kamada (KMDA) Nasdaq shareholders?

IBI Trust Management is serving as the Tax Agent for Nasdaq shareholders regarding the dividend. It provides required forms, assists with clarification on completing them, and processes applications for reduced withholding tax, but does not provide tax advice, which shareholders must obtain independently.

What deadline applies to Kamada (KMDA) shareholders seeking reduced withholding tax?

Nasdaq shareholders must submit all documentation required under the tax ruling to IBI Trust Management by May 9, 2026. If they miss this deadline, the Tax Agent cannot process their applications, refund amounts remitted, or issue withholding confirmations for their tax filings.

Does Kamada’s announced dividend imply similar future dividends?

Kamada states that payment of this cash dividend is not an indication of any future dividends. Whether additional dividends occur will depend on future decisions and conditions described in the company’s risk disclosures and governance framework, rather than this single distribution.
