## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**SINOVAC Board of Directors Files Definitive Proxy Materials**

*Files definitive proxy statement and mails letter to shareholders*

*Urges shareholders to VOTE the WHITE proxy card and vote "AGAINST" the misguided <br> proposals to remove SINOVAC's Board and appoint the Reconstituted Imposter Former Board Slate*

<br> BEIJING, June 19, 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 it has filed its definitive proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Wednesday, July 9, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. China Standard Time (Tuesday, July 8, 2025 at 8:00 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time).

In conjunction with the filing of the definitive proxy statement, SINOVAC's Board of Directors mailed a <u>letter</u> to shareholders. In that letter, the SINOVAC Board urged valid shareholders 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.

While a dissenting investor group led by Advantech/Prime Success and Vivo Capital (together known as the "Dissenting Investor Group") is attempting to distract shareholders with false claims and empty promises as part of a hostile attempt to remove the SINOVAC Board and entrench themselves, the SINOVAC Board is committed to restoring fairness and delivering value to **ALL** SINOVAC 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 Board Slate. Your vote is critical to ensuring that SINOVAC remains on the path to stability, growth, and value creation for all shareholders.

**DISCARD** any items you received asking you to vote for the Reconstituted Imposter Former Board Slate. If you have already voted for the Reconstituted Imposter Former Board Slate, you can subsequently revoke it by using the WHITE proxy card or WHITE voting instruction form to vote. Only your latest-dated vote will count!
