WARREN, N.J., May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tevogen ("Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc." or "Company") (NASDAQ:TVGN).

Dear Shareholders,

Since Tevogen's 2024 public listing, we have remained focused on building a sustainable, revenue-oriented healthcare enterprise while maintaining discipline in how we allocate capital.

We have delivered consistent operational improvement while continuing to advance our strategic growth priorities. Loss from operations declined 51% from $53.6 million in full year 2024 to $26.1 million in full year 2025. This progress continued in the first quarter of 2026, with loss from operations decreasing to $5.4 million, a 48% improvement compared to the same period in 2025.

During this same period, we advanced several important initiatives, including the establishment of the Tevogen.AI effort and the continued expansion of our cell therapy product pipeline. We have pursued these priorities while remaining mindful of shareholder equity and avoiding unnecessary dilution through disciplined capital allocation.

As previously disclosed, we have also initiated the evaluation of potential revenue-generating acquisitions that, if consummated, may support positive cash flow generation and further diversify Tevogen's business. Any future use of authorized shares would continue to be evaluated through a disciplined return-on-investment framework focused on long-term shareholder value creation.

We are working towards aligning the Company's long-term incentives with performance milestones, including revenue generation, reinforcing our commitment to execution and shareholder alignment.

Tevogen's operating model is built on the principle that improving patient affordability and creating long-term shareholder value can coexist. We believe this approach may extend beyond our current portfolio to future healthcare solutions as we continue building a more accessible, efficient, and sustainable healthcare enterprise.

We look forward to providing additional updates at the Company's upcoming annual meeting.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Sincerely,

Ryan Saadi, MD, MPH
