Form 6-K regulatory

"This current report on Form 6-K is furnished solely to correct a typographical error"

A Form 6-K is a report that companies listed in certain countries file to provide important updates, such as financial results, corporate changes, or other significant information, to regulators and investors. It functions like an official company update or news release, helping investors stay informed about developments that could affect their investment decisions.

Form 20-F regulatory

"filed its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024"

Form 20-F is the standardized annual disclosure that non-U.S. companies must file with the U.S. securities regulator when their shares are traded in the U.S.; it contains audited financial statements, a plain-language description of the business, management discussion, governance details and key risk factors. It matters to investors because it provides a consistent, comparable company “report card” and rulebook, helping buyers assess financial health, governance and risks before investing.

foreign private issuer regulatory

"FORM 6-K REPORT OF FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER PURSUANT TO RULE 13a-16"

A foreign private issuer is a company organized outside the United States that meets tests showing it is primarily foreign-controlled and therefore qualifies for a different set of U.S. reporting rules. For investors, that means the company files less frequent or differently formatted disclosures with U.S. regulators and may follow home-country accounting and governance practices, so buying its stock is like dining at a well-reviewed restaurant that follows its home kitchen’s rules instead of the local menu — you get access but should check what standards apply.

Consolidated Financial Statements financial

"Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report"

Consolidated financial statements combine the financial results of a parent company and all the companies it controls into one set of reports, like showing the whole family’s budget instead of each person’s separate accounts. For investors this matters because it gives a complete picture of assets, debts, revenue and cash flow across the entire group, helping assess true size, risk and profitability without missing or double-counting related activity.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

On April 30, 2026 (the “Initial Filing Date”), Sinovac Biotech Ltd. (the “Company”) filed its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) (File No. 001-32371).

This current report on Form 6-K is furnished solely to correct a typographical error in the sub-numbering of Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report (“Note 2”). Specifically, on pages F-13 and F-14 of the Annual Report, the first-level subparagraphs in Note 2 were inadvertently numbered “1” through “10” instead of lettered “A” through “J,” as correctly referenced in the corresponding tables in Note 2 on pages F-15, F-16, F-18, F-19, F-21 and F-22 of the Annual Report. The correct first-level sub-paragraph designations should read “A” through “J.”

Other than the correction of this inadvertent typographical error in Note 2, this current report does not amend, update or restate any other information in the Annual Report and does not reflect events occurring after the Initial Filing Date. No revisions are being made to the Company’s financial statements or any other disclosure contained in the Annual Report.

The Annual Report, as corrected hereby, continues to speak as of the Initial Filing Date.

This current report is incorporated by reference into the Annual Report.
