with the SEC, including a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form
8-K”) and a registration statement on Form S-4 that will contain a
proxy statement and prospectus to register the shares issued (the
“Form S-4”). ANGION URGES INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS TO READ THESE
MATERIALS CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME

Cautionary
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
communication contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, known as the PSLRA. This includes statements regarding: the
anticipated completion and effects of the proposed merger;
anticipated communications regarding each of Angion’s and Elicio’s
entry into the Merger Agreement; and other statements regarding
management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or forecasts
for the future, and, therefore, you are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on them. No forward-looking statement can be
guaranteed, and actual results may differ materially from those
projected. Angion undertakes no obligation to publicly update any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.
Angion uses words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,”
“expects,” “projects,” “future,” “intends,” “may,” “will,”
“should,” “could,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,”
“continue,” “guidance,” and similar expressions to identify these
forward-looking statements that are intended to be covered by the
safe-harbor provisions of the PSLRA. Such forward-looking
statements are based on Angion’s expectations and involve risks and
uncertainties; consequently, actual results may differ materially
from those expressed or implied in the statements due to a number
of factors, including, but not limited to, risks relating to: the
completion of the merger, including the need for stockholder
approval and the satisfaction (or waiver) of closing conditions;
the ability of Angion to remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Market;
and the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or
condition that could give rise to the termination of the Merger
Agreement.
New factors emerge from time to
time and it is not possible for Angion to predict all such factors
nor can Angion assess the impact of each such factor on the
business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking statements. These risks, as well
as other risks associated with the transaction, will be more fully
discussed in the proxy statement/prospectus that are and/or will be
included in the Form 8-K and the Form S-4 that will be filed with
the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. Additional
risks and uncertainties are identified and discussed in the “Risk
Factors” section of Angion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed from time to time
with the SEC. Forward-looking statements included in this
communication are based on information available to Angion as of
the date of this communication. Angion undertakes no obligation to
update such forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of this release, except to the extent
required by law.
