***Forward-Looking Statements***

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding the Company's ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards or receive additional time from Nasdaq to regain compliance if necessary. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intends," "will," "goal," "potential" and the negative of such terms or other similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current expectations and involve assumptions that may never materialize or may prove to be incorrect. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to numerous risks and uncertainties. Information regarding the foregoing and additional risks may be found in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in documents that the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

**Proxy Sets Company on a Path to Attract the Optimal Crypto Treasury Strategy**

**Increase in Authorized Shares to 1 Billion Would Position the Company to Attract Industry-Leading Market Participants and High-Value Crypto Treasury Transactions**

**UNIONDALE, NY, July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)** – ProPhase Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPH), (the "Company" or "ProPhase") a next generation biotech, genomics and consumer products company, will hold a Special Meeting of Shareholders on August 29, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time at 273 Merrick Road, Lynbrook, NY 11563. The Board of Directors has unanimously recommended shareholders vote 'FOR' all proposals at the upcoming Special Meeting. The Company is seeking to increase the authorized shares to 1 billion to strategically position the Company to attract high-value structured transactions and industry-leading participants - including market makers, asset managers, and innovators in the crypto treasury space - enabling the Company to pursue and optimize a forward-looking digital asset treasury strategy.

The Company filed a Preliminary Proxy Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2025. For additional information regarding the proposals to be acted upon at the upcoming Special Meeting of Stockholders, please refer to the Company's Preliminary Proxy Statement. A copy of the Preliminary Proxy Statement is available free of charge through the SEC's website at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/868278/000164117225021187/0001641172-25-021187-index.html.

Mr. Karkus continued, "In parallel, the company remains focused on its goal of collecting approximately $50 million from our Covid accounts receivables, which would dovetail perfectly with our potential crypto treasury strategy, as well as to continue to develop our BE-Smart<sup>™</sup> esophageal cancer test that has enormous potential and to pursue strategic alternatives for Nebula Genomics, including a potential sale."
