Provectus Biopharmaceuticals to Hold 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders at Perkins Place, Its Planned New Headquarters in Knoxville, Tennessee

• Company Marks First Annual Meeting at Historic Perkins Place Office Building as It Prepares to Relocate Its Headquarters from First Horizon Plaza Tower

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., April 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Provectus” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: PVCT) today announced that it will hold its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on Thursday, June 18, 2026, beginning at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, at the Perkins Place Office Building (“Perkins Place”), 525 Portland Street, Knoxville, Tennessee 37919.

Perkins Place is Provectus’s planned new headquarters. The Company intends to relocate from its current offices at 800 S. Gay Street, Suite 1610 (First Horizon Plaza Tower) to Perkins Place in 2026. Holding this year’s Annual Meeting at the new location marks the first stockholder gathering at what Provectus expects to become its permanent operational home.

A Building with History and Strategic Alignment

Designed by Barber & McMurray Architects and opened in 1927 as Perkins Elementary School, Perkins Place was named in honor of Angie Villette Warren Perkins, the first woman elected to the Knoxville Board of Education and the first woman in Tennessee to serve as president of a public-school board, when she was elected president of the Knoxville board in 1918. The building is a 22,941 square foot structure on a campus on 3.23 acres, fully renovated, with ample parking and sufficient land for future expansion.

Perkins Place carries a direct connection to Ed Pershing, Provectus’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. He first encountered the building in 1991, when he envisioned it as the future home of Pershing Yoakley & Associates (“PYA”), the national healthcare consulting and accounting firm he co-founded in 1983. PYA acquired and restored the building in 1992, preserving its period architecture and converting it into a distinctive corporate headquarters and presence. PYA occupied Perkins Place until 2009, when PYA’s growth demanded it double its office space. In the fall of 2025, Mr. Pershing reacquired the property through a partnership with the East Tennessee Foundation that independently sought the building for its own permanent home. The arrangement secured a headquarters for Provectus and provided the Foundation with a minority ownership interest and a long-term headquarters.

Provectus’s planned relocation will provide the Company a pathway to effectively manage costs as it grows and adds resources. Additional land and flexible zoning create optionality for future facility development, including the potential for dedicated research, operational, and/or logistics-adjacent space.

Mr. Pershing said, “Holding our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders at Perkins Place is the right setting for this moment. The building’s history reflects values we recognize in ourselves: vision applied to overlooked assets, perseverance, and outcomes others considered improbable. Provectus’s proprietary synthetic small molecule Rose Bengal Sodium is a molecule being systematically recognized and developed across oncology, dermatology, ophthalmology, and beyond. Perkins Place was not a new building when PYA first claimed it. In both cases, the value was already there. The work was to see it, commit to it, and build. We are planning to do that again at Provectus. Perkins Place is evidence of our expanding vision for Provectus”.
