(NASDAQ: ABVC) today announced the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, marking a transformative year characterized by substantial balance sheet growth and strategic long-term asset positioning.

Thus far, this model has enabled ABVC to separate development risk from long-term value participation, while preserving upside and mitigating capital intensity. We believe this model will continue to benefit us. Strategic Asset Expansion in Taiwan In parallel with its licensing framework, ABVC is on a trajectory to strengthen its long-term infrastructure positioning in Asia through direct, or via its subsidiary's strategic land asset acquisitions. 1. Longtan District, Taoyuan - 5,995.41 square meters [1] The Longtan property was valued at $4.6 million as of December 31, 2025. The land is being held as a strategic reserve asset with flexible future use potential, including healthcare-related applications, demonstration facilities, or supportive infrastructure aligned with biotechnology and long-term care initiatives. The Company has adopted a disciplined "land-first, development-later" approach, preserving strategic optionality while strengthening tangible asset backing. 2. Puli Township, Nantou - 69,230.90 square meters [2] The Puli property was independently appraised as of January 30, 2026, at approximately USD $8.0 million. The Puli development plan is designed as a staged, long-term initiative focused on:
The Puli site represents a scalable long-term development platform rather than a short-term construction project, with phased investment over multiple years.

[2] As of the date hereof, the transfer of the land's title is under government review, pending completion of the title transfer registration.
