Rehovot, Israel, and Hoboken, NJ – October 10, 2023 -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a commercial stage global biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of marketed products indicated for rare and serious conditions and a leader in the specialty plasma-derived field, today announced that while circumstances in Israel are evolving, the Company continues to conduct its business operations in Israel with no effect on business continuity, and its global supply of products is not expected to be interrupted.

While events in Israel are evolving, our global activity and the supply of our products are expected to continue as planned. We are monitoring the situation closely and will provide updates if and when needed. We thank all our partners, investors and customers who have reached out during recent days to express their heartfelt support.”
