Item 8.01 Other Events
On July 13, 2026, the Board of Directors of Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc., (the “Cumberland” or “Company”) authorized and declared a special cash dividend of $1.50 per share of common stock payable in cash to the Company’s shareholders of record as of July 23, 2026. The dividend will be payable on or about July 31, 2026.
Cumberland previously announced the closing of a Strategic Transaction with Apotex Health Corp. (“Apotex”), an affiliate of Apotex, Inc., resulting in the integration of the U.S.-branded businesses. Cumberland received $100 million in cash at closing for its line of FDA-approved products. In addition, Cumberland expects to receive up to $11 million in additional payments associated with product inventory and transitional support services.
Following the closing of the transaction with Apotex, an analysis by the Company’s tax advisors, along with refined financial projections, indicated greater net cash from the transaction than originally projected. Therefore, Cumberland’s Board of Directors met to assess the Company’s future cash needs and evaluate possible alternatives for the excess capital.
In addition to the special dividend, the Board authorized an open-market share repurchase program of up to $5 million in Cumberland shares of common stock over time. This replaces the previous share repurchase program established in January 2019 that allowed $10 million of share repurchases, of which $2.1 million remained available. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased pursuant the Company’s repurchase program will be determined by management depending on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, market conditions, and other general business considerations. Several Board members will also be establishing new share purchase plans to increase their holdings in the Company.
On July 13, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the special cash dividend. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 8.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference.
A copy of the release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.

There can be no assurance that results anticipated by the Company will be realized or that they will have the expected effects.
