AcuCort AB (publ) (Spotlight Stock Market: ACUC) today announces that the company has signed an exclusive commercial agreement with the global biopharmaceutical company Kamada Ltd., (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA). The agreement gives Kamada the exclusive right to the marketing and sales as well as the distribution of AcuCort's drug Zeqmelit™ for, among other things, the treatment of acute allergy on the Israeli market.

The processing of the submitted application is expected to take between 8 - 24 months.
