## Exhibit 99.1

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

**Alvotech has carried out a private placement of 7,500,000 SDRs and ordinary shares at a price of SEK 100.00 per SDR and ISK 1320.83 per ordinary share, raising gross proceeds of SEK 750 million**

*THIS PRESS RELEASE MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED, RELEASED, OR PUBLISHED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO AUSTRALIA, BELARUS, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND, RUSSIA, SWITZERLAND, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH KOREA, SWITZERLAND, RUSSIA, BELARUS, OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH ACTIONS, WHOLLY OR IN PART, WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR DEMAND ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION OR OTHER MEASURES. PLEASE REFER TO "IMPORTANT INFORMATION" IN THE END OF THIS PRESS RELEASE.*

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alvotech (NASDAQ: ALVO, the "Company") has completed a private placement of the equivalent of 7,500,000 shares in Swedish Depository Receipts ("SDRs") and ordinary shares (ALVOIS) at a price of SEK 100.00 per SDR and ISK 1320.83 per ordinary share, with the ISK price being the equivalent of the SEK price (the "Placement"), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of SEK 750 million. The price was determined through an accelerated bookbuilding procedure conducted by DNB Carnegie and Citi as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners, and SEB and ACRO as Joint Bookrunners (together the "Joint Bookrunners"). The transaction attracted strong interest from institutional investors, with a clear majority allocated to Swedish and other international investors outside of Iceland.

**The Placement**

The Board of Directors of Alvotech has, as indicated by the Company through a press release on June 4, 2025, had resolved on a Placement of the equivalent of 7, 5000,000 shares. The placement has now been finalized in the sale of 5,833,500 SDRs and 1,666,500 ordinary shares (ALVOIS) at a price of SEK 100.00 per SDR and ISK 1320.83 per ordinary share respectively, with the ISK price being the equivalent of the SEK price, consequently raising gross proceeds of SEK 750 million before deduction of transaction costs. The price in the Placement was determined through an accelerated bookbuilding procedure led by the Joint Bookrunners to Swedish and international institutional investors and therefore, in the assessment of the Board of Directors, reflects prevailing market conditions, as well as the demand for the Company's SDRs on Nasdaq Stockholm and ordinary shares on Nasdaq Iceland. The SDRs and ordinary shares in the Placement will be made available through existing treasury shares held by Alvotech.

The transaction attracted strong interest from institutional investors, with a clear majority allocated to Swedish and other international investors outside of Iceland, further signifying the importance of the SDR listing on Nasdaq Stockholm.

The net proceeds of the Placement are intended to be used for: (i) upscaling R&D efforts, especially in Sweden after the recently closed acquisition of the R&D operations of Xbrane, thereby further expanding what is already one of the largest biosimilars pipelines globally; (ii) capitalising on selected growth opportunities and strengthen the Company's market position; and (iii) general corporate purposes.

Participating investors were required to choose whether they would receive SDRs or ordinary shares listed on Nasdaq Iceland (ALVOIS) prior to the close of the bookbuilding. For investors who requested ordinary shares, payment is to be made in ISK, based on a SEK price per SDR that was converted from SEK to ISK using the mid-rate on the day of bookbuilding close, as published by the Swedish Central Bank (Sw. *Sveriges Riksbank*).

The Board of Directors has assessed that the Placement will (i) further diversify and strengthen the Company's shareholder base with institutional investors especially in Sweden, where the Company has recently established a trading market for the SDRs, (ii) increase the float of SDRs significantly given the current number of SDRs held by the public on Nasdaq Stockholm, and (iii) enable the Company to act more swiftly on the R&D expansion opportunities.

Settlement of the Placement is expected to take place on or about June 10, 2025, for both the SDRs and the ordinary shares (ALVOIS).

**Lock-up undertakings**

The Company has undertaken, subject to certain conditions and customary exceptions and provided that the Placement is completed, not to issue, sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of additional SDRs, ordinary shares, or other securities in the Company without the consent of DNB Carnegie and Citi, acting on behalf of SEB and ACRO, for a period of 180 days following the settlement of the Placement.

All members of the executive management and the Board of Directors who hold shares in the Company (directly or indirectly) have undertaken, subject to certain conditions and customary exceptions, not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of SDRs, ordinary shares, or other securities in the Company without the consent of DNB Carnegie and Citi, acting on behalf of SEB and ACRO, for a period of 180 days following the settlement of the Placement.

Shareholders Aztiq Pharma Partners S.à r.l., Alvogen Lux Holdings S.à r.l. and Celtic Holdings II Limited have not disposed any of their holdings in the Company in connection with the Placement; however, they respectively have undertaken, subject to customary exceptions, not to sell or otherwise dispose of any SDRs, ordinary shares or other securities in the Company without the consent of DNB Carnegie and Citi, acting on behalf of SEB and ACRO, for a period of 90 days following the settlement of the Placement.

Nothing in this communication should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.

**Information to distributors**

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Company's shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II (the "Positive Target Market"); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II.

Distributors should note that: the price of the shares in the Company may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the shares in the Company offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the shares in the Company is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. Conversely, an investment in the shares of the Company is not suitable for investors who need full capital protection or full repayment of the amount invested, cannot bear any risk, or who require guaranteed or predictable return (the "Negative Target Market", and together with the Positive Target Market, the "Target Market Assessment").

The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the shares in the Company.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own Target Market Assessment in respect of the shares in the Company and determining appropriate distribution channels.
