**EXHIBIT 99.1**

**Quantum BioPharma Announces Corporate Updates**

TORONTO, Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) (FRA: 0K91) (Upstream: QNTM) ("**Quantum BioPharma**" or the "**Company**"), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building a portfolio of innovative assets and biotech solutions for the treatment of challenging neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders and alcohol misuse disorders with drug candidates in different stages of development, today announces the following corporate updates:

<u>Debt Settlement</u> 

On August 12, 2025, the board of directors of the Company (the "**Board**") authorized the settlement of outstanding debt with one (1) creditor in the amount of $26,812.50 USD by converting the debt into 1,102 Class B Shares ("**Creditor Shares**") at a deemed price of $24.33 USD per Class B Share.

<u>Grant of Restricted Stock Units</u>

On August 15, 2025, the Board authorized and approved the grant of restricted share units (each, an "**RSU**") pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. The Company granted 800 RSUs each to Peter Stys and Jack Antel (each a "**Clinical Advisor**"). The RSUs granted vest in accordance with the following schedule:

* 500 RSUs will vest to each Clinical Advisor when the Company has a filing application with the US FDA or an equivalent regulatory filing in another country for the start of a clinical Phase 2 trial for Lucid MS within 1 year of grant.

* 300 RSUs will vest to each Clinical Advisor when the Company receives a no objection letter or an equivalent regulatory approval from the US FDA or other regulatory institution permitting the start of the clinical trial.

<u>Statutory Hold Period and Restrictions on Resale</u>

The Creditor Shares and RSUs (and any Class B Shares issuable upon their settlement) are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day pursuant to the policies of the CSE. The RSU's and Creditor Shares were not registered under the U.S. Securities Act and are not permitted to be offered or sold within the United States absent such registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements therein.

<u>Change to Advisory Board</u>

Effective August 15, 2025, the Company terminated the Board Advisor Agreement dated July 1, 2025, with Kevin Malone, and as a result, Mr. Malone is no longer serving as an Advisor to the Company's Board of Directors.
