Dear Shareholder:
We cordially invite you to attend the 2016 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Kamada Ltd. (the "Meeting") to be held at our offices at 7 Sapir Street, Kiryat Weizmann Science Park, Ness Ziona, Israel, on Tuesday, August 30, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. (Israel time), for the following purposes:
Shareholders of record at the close of business on July 21, 2016, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. You can vote either by mailing in your proxy or in person by attending the Meeting. If voting by proxy, we will generally not be able to include your vote in the tally of ordinary shares voted at the Meeting unless your proxy is received by our transfer agent or at our registered office in Israel at least 48 hours prior to the appointed time of the Meeting. If you attend the Meeting, you may vote in person and your proxy will not be used. If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, trustee or nominee and you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you must first obtain a "legal proxy" from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of a member of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and wish to vote, either by proxy or in person by attending the Meeting, you must deliver to us a proof of ownership in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law and the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meetings), 2000. Detailed proxy voting instructions will be provided both in the Proxy Statement and the proxy card.
Shareholders may review the full version of the proposed resolutions in the Proxy Statement as well as the accompanying proxy card, on, or about, July 26, 2016, via the website of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov or via the Israel Securities Authority's electronic filing system at http://www.magna.isa.gov.il or the website of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. at http://maya.tase.co.il, and also at our offices during regular business hours (7 Sapir Street, Kiryat Weizmann Science Park, Ness Ziona, Israel; Tel: +972-8-9406472 (phone)). Our company's representative is Mr. Nir Livneh (7 Sapir Street, Kiryat Weizmann Science Park, Ness Ziona, Israel; Tel: +972-72-2748242).
The presence, in person or by proxy, of two or more shareholders holding or representing, in the aggregate, at least twenty-five percent of our company's voting rights will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. No business will be considered or determined at the Meeting unless the requisite quorum is present within half an hour from the time designated for the Meeting. If within half an hour from the time designated for the Meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting will stand adjourned to the same day in the following week, at the same time and place. Any number of shareholders present, in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the adjourned meeting. This notice will serve as notice of such reconvened meeting if no quorum is present at the original date and time and no further notice of the reconvened meeting will be given to shareholders.
Each ordinary share entitles the holder to one vote.
With respect to Proposals 1, 3-5, 7 and 9: The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, is required to approve each such proposal.
With respect to Proposal 2: The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, is required to approve the proposal, provided that either: (i) the shares voting in favor of the election of the outside director (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the shares voted by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the election of the outside director (excluding a personal interest that does not result from the shareholder's relationship with the controlling shareholder), or (ii) the total number of shares voted against the election of the outside director by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the matter (excluding a personal interest that does not result from the shareholder's relationship with the controlling shareholder), does not exceed two-percent of our outstanding voting rights.
With respect to Proposals 6 and 8: The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting on the matter, is required to approve each such proposal, provided that either: (i) the shares voting in favor of the proposal (excluding abstentions) include at least a majority of the shares voted by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the proposal, or (ii) the total number of shares voted against the proposal by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the proposal does not exceed two-percent of our outstanding voting rights.
We are unaware of any shareholder that would be deemed to be a controlling shareholder of our company as of the current time for purposes of Proposals 2, 6 and 8. A shareholder who signs and returns a proxy card will be deemed to be confirming that such shareholder, and any related party of such shareholder, is not a controlling shareholder for purposes of Proposals 2, 6 and 8. If you believe that you, or a related party of yours, may be deemed to be a controlling shareholder and you wish to participate in the vote on any of Proposals 2, 6 and 8, you should contact our Director of Legal Affairs, Nir Livneh, at [email protected] or +972-72-2748242.
The Israeli Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on Proposals 2, 6 and 8 indicate on the proxy card, or, if voting in person at the Meeting, inform us prior to voting on the matter at the Meeting, whether or not the shareholder has a personal interest in each such proposal. Otherwise, the
shareholder is not eligible to vote on the proposals and his or her vote will not be counted for the purposes of the proposals. Under the Israeli Companies Law, a "personal interest" of a shareholder in an act or transaction of a company (i) includes a personal interest of (a) any spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent or descendant of the shareholder, any descendant, sibling or parent of a spouse of the shareholder and the spouse of any of the foregoing; and (b) a company with respect to which the shareholder (or any of the foregoing relatives of the shareholder) serves as a director or chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares or voting rights or has the right to appoint one or more directors or the chief executive officer; and (ii) excludes a personal interest arising solely from the ownership of shares. Under the Israeli Companies Law, in the case of a person voting by proxy, "personal interest" includes the personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether or not the proxy holder has discretion how to vote.
