Leading Independent Proxy Advisory Firm ISS Joins Glass Lewis in Recommending Shareholders Vote to Keep the Current SINOVAC Board in Place

SINOVAC’s Board of Directors encourages shareholders to follow recommendations by ISS and Glass Lewis and VOTE the WHITE proxy card “AGAINST” the misguided proposals to remove the SINOVAC Board and appoint the Reconstituted Imposter Former Board Slate
Special Meeting of SINOVAC shareholders to be held on July 8, 2025

BEIJING, July 4, 2025 – The Board of Directors of SINOVAC Biotech Ltd. (NASDAQ: SVA) (“SINOVAC” or the “Company”), a leading provider of biopharmaceutical products in China, today announced that leading independent proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) has joined Glass, Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”) in recommending that SINOVAC shareholders vote to KEEP the current SINOVAC Board in place by voting the WHITE proxy card “AGAINST” the election of the Reconstituted Imposter Former Board Slate at the upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”).
The SINOVAC Board issued the following statement in response to ISS’ recommendation:
“We are thrilled that independent proxy advisors ISS and Glass Lewis recommended shareholders vote to KEEP SINOVAC’s current Board in place and OPPOSE the Reconstituted Imposter Former Board Slate. In making their recommendations, ISS and Glass Lewis both recognized the swift actions the current SINOVAC Board has taken to restore fairness and deliver value to SINOVAC’s rightful shareholders, and they have criticized the Imposter Former Board’s abject governance failures that robbed value from SINOVAC shareholders during its seven-year “de facto” tenure.
“The facts speak for themselves: over the past four months, the current SINOVAC Board has demonstrated its commitment to righting the wrongs of the Imposter Former Board. The current Board has declared a US$55.00 per common share special cash dividend and has continued to lay the groundwork for additional distributions, is working with NASDAQ to resume trading, and is launching a formal exploration of a future listing on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong to promote liquidity and support shareholder value creation.
“In contrast, the Imposter Former Board, in close coordination with SAIF, Advantech/Prime Success (“Advantech/Prime”) and Vivo Capital (together, “the Dissenting Investor Group”), continue to attempt to derail our progress through misleading rhetoric, baseless claims and frivolous legal actions. Their self-serving objective is clear: regain control of SINOVAC and deprive common shareholders of their rightful dividend payments.
“We urge shareholders to follow the recommendations of both leading independent proxy advisory firms by voting AGAINST the election of the Reconstituted Imposter Former Board on the WHITE proxy card.”
Highlights from the ISS Report include1 (emphasis added):
SUPERIORITY OF THE CURRENT BOARD
| · | “[T]he [current] board appears to be working to pay SVA shareholders their fair share of dividends, and to resume trading of the company's shares, which are the two most pressing issues currently facing SVA shareholders.” |
DIVIDEND PAYMENTS
| · | “In engagement with ISS, when [the dissident’s] nominees who were former board members were asked why they did not pay dividends to SVA shareholders when they were board members, they gave several answers. […] However, neither reason is reflected in the company's statements in its annual report for 2023, in which it states that the company ‘has no intention to distribute dividends in the near future.’ When the available facts outlined in the sections above are taken into account, it is difficult to rationalize the conduct of the former board with regard to dividend distributions to SVA shareholders.” |
| · | “The former board […] presided over transactions that enabled the payment of billions of dollars in dividends to minority shareholders of SLS, all while it told SVA shareholders that it had no plans to pay dividends to them.” |
POISON PILL AND NASDAQ TRADING HALT
| · | “It appears that the former board used the poison pill as an entrenchment mechanism. The former board declared that it had been triggered over one year prior, and acted to issue shares accordingly. In doing so, it appears that the former board was using it against shareholders who had cast more votes for their candidates at the 2018 AGM than had been cast for management nominees. In that sense, it appears that the former board was using the pill to overturn the will of a majority of shareholders.” |
| · | “During this contest, the dissident has not provided a convincing explanation for why the former board could not remove the trading halt.” |
| · | “[…] the more than decade-long record of former board members on the dissident slate paints a picture of a board that adopted and triggered a poison pill to disenfranchise shareholders, which led to the trading halt of the company's shares.” |
IMPOSTER FORMER BOARD’S SELF-DEALING
| · | “Shareholders can reasonably question whether the former SVA board acted appropriately in its appointment of SLS board members, who presumably approved the sale of nearly 41 percent of the entity at a time when SLS was generating healthy profits.” |
At the Special Meeting, shareholders will have the chance to send a clear message to the Dissenting Investor Group: SINOVAC will no longer be held captive to their self-dealing.
1 Permission to use quotations was neither sought nor obtained.
SINOVAC’s Board urges shareholders to protect their investment and the future of their Company by voting the WHITE proxy card today “AGAINST” Proposals 1 and 2 at the Special Meeting.

Exhibit 99.2
Federal Court in Massachusetts Denies Vivo Capital’s Petition for Relief on SINOVAC
Court denies Vivo Capital's petition for relief relating to shareholder votes and corporate governance, clearing another legal hurdle for distribution of the US$55.00 per common share special cash dividend
Marks fourth unsuccessful legal attempt in deceptive and disparaging campaign by Advantech/Prime or Vivo Capital against current Board and its Chairman
New reports from two leading independent proxy advisory firms, Glass Lewis and ISS, firmly recommend shareholders vote to KEEP the current Board chaired by Dr. Chiang Li
BEIJING, July 7, 2025 – The Board of Directors of SINOVAC Biotech Ltd. (NASDAQ: SVA) (“SINOVAC” or the “Company”), a leading provider of biopharmaceutical products in China, today announced that on June 30, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts denied Vivo Capital’s petition against 1Globe Capital LLC (“1Globe”) for relief relating to SINOVAC’s shareholder votes and corporate governance. In its ruling, the Court concluded, “relief relating to governance outcomes or shareholder votes – are DENIED without prejudice.”
The Massachusetts ruling marks the fourth unsuccessful legal attempt by either Advantech/Prime Success (“Advantech/Prime”) or Vivo Capital (together “the Dissenting Investor Group”) to strip SINOVAC common shareholders of their rightful dividend payments. This result follows Advantech/Prime’s recently failed petition in New York and Advantech/Prime and Vivo Capital’s recently failed petition in Hong Kong – which were repeated attempts to block or delay a hearing for interim relief sought by the Company et al at the Antiguan High Court and to interfere with the Company’s payment of the US$55.00 per common share special cash dividend declared by the current SINOVAC Board. The Dissenting Investor Group continues to interfere with the current Board’s fiduciary duties to implement the UK Privy Council’s unappealable ruling in January 2025. In this ruling, the UK Privy Council deemed the former illegitimate board an “Imposter Board” and handed 1Globe – the investment arm of a cancer-focused global R&D group and SINOVAC’s largest shareholder – a victory on all grounds. In addition, the UK Privy Council Judicial Committee, comprising five UK Supreme Court Justices, concluded that there was “nothing unlawful in the conduct of 1Globe” in connection with SINOVAC’s 2018 AGM.
The Dissenting Investor Group’s self-serving, multi-pronged lawfare strategy is crystal clear: (1) block actions taken by the SINOVAC Board to distribute rightful dividend payments to valid SINOVAC common shareholders; (2) protect the ill-gotten gains it stripped from SINOVAC subsidiaries over the past seven years; and (3) regain control of SINOVAC in order to continue to loot the Company. Having failed in the courtroom, the Dissenting Investor Group has decided to instead use deceptive and false stories to attack 1Globe and its founder Dr. Chiang Li, who chairs the current SINOVAC Board. As noted in SINOVAC’s proxy materials, Dr. Li is an accomplished clinician, scientist, inventor, entrepreneur and a seasoned executive with international recognitions. Dr. Li and 1Globe have successfully challenged the Dissenting Investor Group’s abuse in court for the past seven years and championed the rights and interests of all valid SINOVAC shareholders.
During those seven years, The Dissenting Investor Group, in coordination with the former illegitimate board (the “Imposter Former Board”), pursued the following schemes:
| 1. | Privatization attempt at a below-market price in 2016, which would have succeeded had it not been for the efforts of 1Globe (who declined an invite by the Former Management Buyout Group to join and profit from its privatization attempt); |
| 2. | Invalid PIPE transaction at a below-market price in 2018, which materially diluted SINOVAC shareholders and was made at a time when the Company did not need the capital; |
| 3. | Commitment by the Imposter Former Board to invest ~US$139 million of SINOVAC cash into a venture fund managed by Vivo Capital – creating a clear conflict of interest. This would be in addition to the approximately US$100 million SINOVAC has already invested into Vivo Capital funds. |
| 4. | US$15 million debt investment into Sinovac Life Sciences Co., Ltd. (“SLS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SINOVAC, in exchange for a 15% equity interest in SLS in 2020, at a time when the Company did not need the capital and which has resulted in over US$1 billion of distributions made to the Dissenting Investor Group. In contrast, SINOVAC common shareholders have received no dividends and haven’t been able to trade their shares for the past six years. To add insult to injury, the Imposter Former Board publicly stated in April 2024 in the Company’s 2023 20-F that it had “no plan to pay any cash dividends on SINOVAC Antigua’s shares in the foreseeable future”; |
| 5. | Barrage of baseless and wasteful legal action in 2025, after refusing to accept the Privy Council’s non-appealable ruling, with the goal of interfering with the dividend payment unless the Dissenting Investor Group is able to double dip on dividends already received from SLS; |
| 6. | Deceptive and disparaging campaign against current SINOVAC board members that is meant to intimidate them and interfere with the stability and function of the current Board. |
The Dissenting Investor Group’s hostile actions, baseless claims and wasteful litigation are evidence that it poses a direct threat to the value of your investment and the future of SINOVAC. Don’t let the Dissenting Investor Group, which is working in coordination with SAIF and is represented on SAIF’s Reconstituted Imposter Former Board, regain control of the Company. If the Reconstituted Imposter Former Board succeeds, it will put all valid shareholders’ future dividend payments at risk – this includes the current Board’s announced plans for an additional US$11.00 per common share cash dividend, contingent on the cancellation of the unauthorized PIPE shares, and its adopted policy to issue regular dividends out of surplus cash.
The current SINOVAC Board remains committed to its mission of restoring fairness, delivering value, and protecting the rights of all valid shareholders.
Your Vote is Important
Your vote on or before July 8 will be about the future of SINOVAC, your receipt of your make-whole dividend payments in the near-term, and the long-term value of your investment.
We urge you to keep SINOVAC’s Board in place and vote on the WHITE proxy card “AGAINST” Proposal 1 to remove the current Board and “AGAINST” Proposal 2 to appoint the Reconstituted Imposter Former Board Slate.

| · | “[T]he [current] board appears to be working to pay SVA shareholders their fair share of dividends, and to resume trading of the company's shares, which are the two most pressing issues currently facing SVA shareholders.” (ISS Report, July 3, 2025) |

| · | “[T]he current board has demonstrated credible progress in restoring governance stability and operational normalcy. [...] The Dissident Group’s proposals, by contrast, rest on an inconsistent platform, rely on individuals linked to the governance failures of the past, and raise material questions about their ability to credibly resolve the challenges ahead.” (Glass Lewis Report, July 1, 2025) |
| · | “[The Dissident Group]’s shifting criticisms, from claiming dividends are insufficient to later arguing they are excessive, reflect what we view as a reactive approach that appears driven more by tactical positioning in a campaign rather than long-term value creation.” (Glass Lewis Report, July 1, 2025) |
