Exhibit 99.2

SINOVAC Provides Update on Antigua High Court Order and AuditorEngagement


BEIJING — Sinovac Biotech Ltd. (NASDAQ: SVA) (“SINOVAC” or the “Company”), a leading provider of biopharmaceutical products in China, today provided an update on the Antigua High Court’s interlocutory order governing the Company’s board composition and corporate actions pending trial, and announced the engagement of Zhonghua Certified Public Accountants LLP (“Zhonghua”), an affiliate of the global accounting network UHY International, as the Company’s independent auditor and registered public accounting firm.

Update on Antigua High Court Order

Further to the order issued by the Antigua High Court (the “Court”) previously disclosed by the Company in a press release dated December 17, 2025, the Court has updated its order to provide that directors Mr. Simon Anderson, Mr. Shan Fu, Mr. Shuge Jiao, Dr. Chiang Li, Mr. Yuk Lam Lo, Mr. Yumin Qiu, Mr. Yu Wang, Ms. Rui-Ping Xiao, Mr. Andrew Y. Yan and Mr. Weidong Yin (collectively, the “Board”), will comprise the Board of the Company until the trial listed in late April/early May 2026. Ms. Rui-Ping Xiao has resigned from the Board due to personal reasons. Seven of nine of the Board members are independent and 100% of the members of the Company’s Audit, Compensation and Nominating & Corporate Governance Committees are independent.

Update on Auditor Engagement

The Company further announced that the Audit Committee of the Board approved the engagement of Zhonghua as the Company’s independent auditor effective December 31, 2025. The change was not made due to any disagreements with UHY LLP. Zhonghua is a public accounting firm registered in the People’s Republic of China and is also registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) in the United States. Zhonghua is a member of UHY International, one of the world’s leading accounting networks; its engagement supersedes that of UHY LLP, which is part of the same global network.

This development follows the Company’s previously announced update regarding auditor engagement and will support SINOVAC’s continued focus on its financial reporting and audit workstreams. The Company remains committed to completing the requisite audit procedures and regulatory filings as expeditiously as practicable and seeks to maintain compliance with applicable U.S. SEC and Nasdaq requirements.
