EXHIBIT 99.1

United-Guardian Announces Mid-Year Dividend

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., July 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United-Guardian, Inc. (NASDAQ:UG) announced today that the company's Board of Directors, at its meeting on July 12, 2023, declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share, to be paid on August 2, 2023, to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 26, 2023. This will be the 28th consecutive year that the company has paid a dividend.

Donna Vigilante, President of United-Guardian, stated, “I am pleased to report that the company’s Board of Directors has decided to distribute a dividend of 10 cents per share to our stockholders. While this dividend will represent a lower percentage of our earnings than in previous years, the Board of Directors has chosen to retain more of the Company’s earnings as we embark on a new phase of growth development. We are in the process of formulating a growth strategy that we anticipate will require additional capital in the long term. We believe that retaining a higher percentage of earnings will enable us to provide our shareholders with greater returns in the future as our sales and earnings increase.”

United-Guardian is a manufacturer of cosmetic ingredients, personal and health care products, and pharmaceuticals.
