SINOVAC’s Board of Directors Issues a Letter to Shareholders Outlining Clear Pathway to Restore Fairness and Deliver Value to All Shareholders

Rhea-AI Summary
SINOVAC Biotech's Board issued a critical letter to shareholders regarding an upcoming Special Meeting on July 9, 2025, where shareholders will vote on an attempt by the Dissenting Investor Group to remove the current board. The letter outlines how Prime Success and Vivo Capital acquired shares through an invalid PIPE transaction authorized by an "Imposter Board" that was deemed illegitimate by the UK Privy Council. The current board, reconstituted in February 2025, has announced a $55 per share special dividend and plans an additional $11 per share redistribution upon cancellation of unauthorized PIPE shares. The board warns that the Dissenting Investor Group previously distributed $2 billion in dividends to themselves while valid shareholders received nothing, and attempted to buy out SINOVAC at $7 per share. The letter emphasizes the board's commitment to restoring shareholder value, resuming NASDAQ trading, and ensuring fair treatment of all shareholders.
