## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**Vincerx Pharma, Inc. Urges Stockholders to Vote FOR Approval of Dissolution Proposal and Announces Potential Range for Distributions to Stockholders** 

***Potential Distribution Range of $0.04 to $0.08 per share of outstanding stock based on current estimates and assumptions, including timely approval of Distribution Proposal***

***Failure to approve Dissolution Proposal will reduce or eliminate***

***any potential distributions to stockholders***

**San Mateo, California, July 7, 2025** – Vincerx Pharma, Inc. (OTC Pink: VINC) today announced updated information regarding the Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the "Special Meeting") to consider the proposal to approve the dissolution and liquidation of the Company pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (the "Dissolution Proposal"). The Special Meeting was adjourned to 10:00 a.m., Pacific time, on July 16, 2025 and will be held via live audio webcast at <u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VINC2025SM2</u>.

Vincerx currently estimates a range of between $0.04 to $0.08 per share of its outstanding common stock that could potentially be available for distribution following approval of the Dissolution Proposal to stockholders of record as of the record date for any such distribution. This range is subject to change and is based on Vincerx's current estimates and assumption, including timely approval of the Dissolution Proposal. Delays in approving the Dissolution Proposal will result in continued operating costs and expenses and reduce or eliminate any funds available for distribution to stockholders.

**Vincerx is urging ALL stockholders to vote IMMEDIATELY <u>FOR</u> the Dissolution Proposal.** 

Vincerx's board of directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote **<u>FOR</u>** the Dissolution Proposal and believes that approval of the Dissolution Proposal is extremely important to stockholders for a number of reasons, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Preserve Possibility of Distributions**. Vincerx currently estimates a range of between $0.04 to $0.08 per
share of its outstanding common stock that could potentially be available for distribution. However, further delays in approving the Dissolution Proposal will result in continued operating costs and expenses - reducing or eliminating funds available
for distribution to stockholders. Approving the Dissolution Proposal will allow Vincerx to move forward expeditiously and maximize the likelihood and amount of distributions to stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Recognize Potential Tax Benefits**. U.S. stockholders who receive less than their tax basis in their shares
could be eligible to recognize a capital loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Timely approval of the Dissolution Proposal will facilitate this recognition.

<u>Every vote matters</u>. Stockholders must ACTIVELY VOTE for their vote to count. **Any delay in approving the Dissolution Proposal will result in increased expenditures and reduce the likelihood and amounts available for distribution to stockholders.**

------

**<u>Voting is quick and simple:</u>**

Information regarding the Dissolution Proposal, including the board of director's reasons for recommending approval of the Dissolution Proposal, is set forth in the company's proxy statement and supplements thereto, which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and are available at the SEC's website at <u>www.sec.gov</u>.
