Kamada Announces Receipt a Notice from the Employee's Committee of a Labor Strike in the Beit Kama plant - Form 6-K

Exhibit 99.1

Kamada Ltd. (the "Company") (NASDAQ & TASE: KMDA), a vertically integrated global biopharmaceutical company, today announced that on April 26, 2022, during the course of the Company's negotiations with the Histadrut - General Federation of Labor in Israel (the "Histadrut") and the Employees' Committee of Kamada's Beit Kama production facility in Israel (the "Employee's Committee"), on the extension of a collective bargaining agreement, the Employee's Committee elected to declare a labor strike in the Beit Kama plant.

In November 2018, the Company signed a collective bargaining agreement with the Histadrut and the Employees' Committee, which expired on December 31, 2021. During recent weeks, the Company, the Histadrut and the Employees Committee have been negotiating the renewal of the collective bargaining agreement. While significant progress has been achieved throughout the course of the negotiations, the parties have not reached an agreement to date.

As the strike was initiated by the Employee's Committee, the Company cannot currently predict how long it will last. However, at this time, the Company does not anticipate that the strike will have a material effect on its annual financial results or its ability to continue the supply of its products to the market, as well as continue all other business activities not associated with the Beit Kama plant.
