SINOVAC Board of Directors Strongly Denounces Deceptive and Illegal Claims by SAIF and the Imposter Former Board
Special Meeting was validly adjourned until the appropriate court can make a final decision on the validity of the PIPE shares SAIF's "announcement" about voting results demonstrates blatant disregard for the law and the Company's bylaws and a repeated pattern of self-serving and unlawful actions by the Imposter Former Board Current Board remains the only valid board of directors of the Company and will continue to govern SINOVAC BEIJING, July 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Board of Directors of SINOVAC Biotech Ltd. (NASDAQ: SVA) ("SINOVAC" or the "Company"), a leading biopharmaceutical company in China, categorically rejects the recent deceptive and illegal claims by SAIF and the Imposter Former Board that it purported to "reconvene" the adjourned Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Special Meeting") and announced sham voting results of the shareholder proposals. At the July 8, 2025 Special Meeting, SINOVAC Chairman Chiang Li validly adjourned the meeting, to preserve the integrity of the Special Meeting and protect shareholder interests, pending the resolution of litigation in Antigua related to the validity of the 11.8 million shares purportedly issued following an invalid private investment in public equity ("PIPE") to Advantech/Prime and Vivo Capital (together known as the "Dissenting Investor Group"). SINOVAC shareholders should ignore SAIF's lies. SAIF and the Imposter Former Board did NOT have the authority or any legal basis to "reconvene" the Special Meeting following the valid adjournment. SAIF's self-declaration of a final tally of shareholder votes was a complete sham. SINOVAC is evaluating its legal remedies with respect to the deceptive and unlawful conduct of SAIF and the Imposter Former Board, including with authorities in Antigua and the United States. William P. Fiske, Head of M&A and Contested Situations at Georgeson, SINOVAC's proxy solicitor, stated, "At the time of the Special Meeting, according to our preliminary voting tallies, the Company's White Proxy Card secured overwhelming support from valid shareholders for the current SINOVAC Board. Had the injunction granted by the Antigua Court not been temporarily stayed, the shareholders would have voted in favor of the current SINOVAC Board." SAIF and the Gold Proxy Card secured little support outside of the same incumbent group that has propped up the Imposter Former Board to seize control of SINOVAC and destroy value for all valid common shareholders – just as they did during the seven years that they held SINOVAC hostage. The Imposter Former Board's refusal to acknowledge the lawful adjournment of the Special Meeting and their fabrication of the meeting's outcome are wholly illegal, invalid, and reckless. The rightful SINOVAC Board remains in place and will continue to govern the Company. The Board has a duty to implement the UK Privy Council's judgment and order, which includes resolving the question of the validity of the PIPE shares. The Board will continue to fight on behalf of all SINOVAC shareholders and remains committed to its mission of restoring fairness, delivering value and protecting the rights of all valid shareholders.

SINOVAC Board Sets the Record Straight on July 8 Special Meeting of Shareholders
Special Meeting validly adjourned until the appropriate court makes a final decision on validity of the PIPE shares and will be reconvened SAIF and the Dissenting Investor Group's deceptive claims of a "continuation of the Special Meeting" and a pretend "Board" are fake and without legal basis Current Board remains the only valid board of directors of SINOVAC and will continue to govern the Company BEIJING, July 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Board of Directors of SINOVAC Biotech Ltd. (NASDAQ: SVA) ("SINOVAC" or the "Company") today issued the following update to set the record straight regarding the Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Special Meeting"): The Special Meeting was validly adjourned by SINOVAC Chairman Chiang Li on July 8, 2025, due to pending litigation in Antigua regarding the validity of the shares purportedly issued following an invalid private investment in public equity ("PIPE") to Advantech/Prime and Vivo Capital (together known as the "Dissenting Investor Group"). The adjournment has been recognized by the independent Inspector of Elections who has the sole authority to announce and certify the results of the Special Meeting. SAIF's false claim that a "continuation of the Special Meeting" occurred is intentionally deceptive and entirely illegal under the Company's bylaws and Antiguan law. Immediately after the Special Meeting was validly adjourned and the virtual meeting was terminated, a group of lawyers representing SAIF and the Dissenting Investor Group purportedly self-organized an invalid, pretend special meeting at an unannounced location and time. This group did not give advance notice to valid shareholders or give them an option to attend, and they did not contact SINOVAC Chairman Chiang Li, the only authorized chair for the Special Meeting. No inspector of elections presided over the pretend special meeting. The current SINOVAC Board understands Mr. Yuk Lam Lo attended the invalid meeting with the understanding that he had no authority to chair any such shareholder meeting. At the pretend special meeting, this group announced pretend "voting results" from a "vote" that did not take place due to the valid adjournment. The following day, SAIF and the Dissenting Investor Group held a pretend meeting to elect a pretend Chairman. Valid SINOVAC shareholders are admonished to ignore these theatrics. The Board, consisting of Dr. Chiang Li (Chairman), Mr. Yuk Lam Lo, Mr. Sven Borho and Mr. Geoffrey Hsu, retains full authority to run SINOVAC. None of the pretend board's rogue actions are valid or legal. SAIF and the Dissenting Investor Group will be held responsible. At the time of the Special Meeting, the injunction granted by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court of Antigua and Barbuda (the "Antigua High Court") on July 7, 2025 – prohibiting the PIPE shares from voting at the meeting – had not been overturned. While the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal temporarily stayed the injunction order, the stay is in place until a hearing is held to determine whether such stay should have been granted. On July 11, 2025, Judge Bakre of the Antigua High Court issued a ruling, which stated that granting a stay would make a "mockery" of this case. There are ongoing legal proceedings in Antigua to determine the validity of the PIPE shares. The current Board will reconvene the Special Meeting once this issue is resolved by the proper court. During this period, voting is unavailable. All valid shareholders will have their vote counted at the validly reconvened Special Meeting. The current SINOVAC Board remains in place, is governing the Company, and is executing on its stated priorities. These include dividend distributions according to its previously announced policy, in addition to the ongoing payment of the US$55.00 per common share special cash dividend paid to valid shareholders or their brokers beginning on July 7, 2025, working with NASDAQ to resume trading, the appointment of a new auditor, and exploring a future listing on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong to promote liquidity and maximize value creation. The SINOVAC Board urges all shareholders to rely only on official communications from the rightful Board for accurate information. The Board remains committed to transparency and the rule of law and will provide further updates as developments occur.
