Dividend distributions reduce a company’s value and, if not carefully managed, can jeopardize its ability to repay creditors. To balance shareholders’ profit rights with creditor protection, Israeli law requires companies to pass both the profit and solvency tests before any distribution, with potential liability for shareholders and directors if these rules are breached.
