Insights
MAK entities report a passive sub‑5% stake in Protalix.
The Schedule 13G/A shows combined beneficial ownership of 3,616,289 shares (4.5%), reported as of 03/30/2026. The filing classifies the position under passive ownership rules consistent with 13G treatment rather than an active 13D campaign.
Key dependencies include any future amendments if stake increases above 5% or if voting/dispositive arrangements change; subsequent filings would disclose such developments.
Position size is under common disclosure thresholds and unlikely to force near-term market action.
At 4.5% of the 80,421,181 shares outstanding cited, the stake is material for reporting but below many activism thresholds. The filing reports shared voting and dispositive power of 3,616,289 shares, indicating collective control among the reporting persons.
Watch for any Form 13D/13G amendments if holdings or voting arrangements change.

Key Terms
Schedule 13G/A, beneficially owned, shared dispositive power
A Schedule 13G/A is an amended public filing with the U.S. securities regulator that updates a previous Schedule 13G, disclosing when an individual or group holds a substantial (typically over 5%) stake in a company and is claiming a passive, non‑controlling intent. Investors monitor these updates because rising or falling holdings can signal changing confidence, potential future moves, or shifts in voting power — like watching a public ledger where large shareholders quietly adjust their positions.
beneficially ownedfinancial
"Amount beneficially owned: 3,616,289 shares of Common Stock"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
