Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On August 31, 2026, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (the “Company”) executed an amendment (such amendment, the “Amendment No. 1”) to the Second Amended and restated Deposit Agreement, dated as of December 4, 2018, among the Company, Citibank, N.A., as depositary (the “Depositary”) and all holders and beneficial owners of American depositary shares (“ADSs”) issued thereunder, and updated the form of American depositary receipt (the “ADR”) evidencing the ADSs. Each ADS represents one of the Company’s ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.10 per share.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2026, the Company had informed the Depositary of its intent to list its ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and instructed the Depositary to terminate its ADS program. The Amendment No. 1 provides a mechanism for the mandatory exchange of ADSs for ordinary shares in connection with the termination of the ADS program, with each ADS exchanged for one ordinary share. The termination of the ADS Program is expected to occur at the open of business (New York time) on September 14, 2026, from which time all outstanding ADSs will be cancelled in exchange for an equal number of economically equivalent NYSE-listed ordinary shares.
The foregoing descriptions of the Amendment No. 1 and the ADR do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Amendment No. 1 and ADR, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 hereof, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
