Kamada (KMDA) Director Dekel Benjamin Receives Award, Transfers Shares
What Happened
Dekel Benjamin, a director of Kamada Ltd. (KMDA), was the recipient of four derivative awards of 4,000 shares each (total acquired = 16,000) on April 7, 2026 and, on the same date, disposed of the same four lots of 4,000 derivative shares back to the issuer (total disposed = 16,000). All transactions are reported as derivative (options/awards) with no per-share dollar price reported (N/A), so there is no direct cash purchase or open-market sale recorded in this filing. The net effect reported here is zero additional shares retained by the insider from these transactions.

- F1: USD exercise prices (where shown) are convenience conversions from NIS using Bank of Israel rate as of April 6, 2026.
- F2: Exercise price of the options was adjusted per the 2011 Share Award Plan due to a cash dividend declared March 11, 2026; otherwise terms unchanged.

Context
- These are derivative award-related transactions (options/share awards) rather than open-market buys or sales. The pattern of an award followed immediately by a disposition to the issuer is commonly used for net-settlement, tax withholding or share-surrender purposes, but the filing itself does not specify the reason.
- Because the acquired and disposed amounts match, the filing shows no net increase in the director’s reported ownership from these items.
- For retail investors, purchases by insiders are often more indicative than routine awards or withholding-related dispositions; here the activity appears administrative rather than an outright sale into the market.
