Formula Systems Declares $200 Million Special Dividend After Sapiens Deal Completion Formula Systems (1985) declared a special cash dividend of about US$200 million, equal to US$13.045 per share, tied to its 2025 financial results.
The payout is contingent on the completion of Advent’s acquisition of Sapiens, reflecting Formula Systems’ role in that transaction.
Shareholders of record on May 25, 2026 will receive the dividend on June 4, 2026, with payments made in US$ on both the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and Nasdaq.
