SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, product candidates, planned preclinical studies and clinical trials, results of clinical trials, research and development costs, regulatory approvals, timing, and likelihood of success, as well as plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that are in some cases beyond our control and may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements contained in this report include, but are not limited to, statements about:

our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors;
our public securities’ potential liquidity and trading;
the lack of a market for our securities;
our financial performance;
failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination (as defined in Part I, Item 1, Note 3, “Business Combination,” in our notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q);
the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us related to the Business Combination;
the timing and focus of our current and future clinical trials, and the reporting of data from those trials;
our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of our product candidates;
our estimates of the number of patients in the United States who suffer from the diseases we are targeting and the number of patients that will enroll in clinical trials;
the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals for our product candidates for various diseases;
our plans relating to commercializing our product candidates, if approved, including which indications will be pursued;
the ability of our clinical trials to demonstrate safety and efficacy, and other positive results, of our product candidates;
the beneficial characteristics, safety, efficacy, and therapeutic effects of our product candidates;
the development of competitors’ product candidates;
existing regulations and regulatory developments in the United States and other jurisdictions;
the need to hire additional personnel and our ability to attract and retain such personnel;
our plans and ability to obtain, maintain, enforce, or protect intellectual property rights;
our continued reliance on third parties to conduct additional clinical trials of our product candidates, and for the manufacture of our product candidates for preclinical studies and clinical trials; and
the success of our licensing agreements.

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about our business, the industry in which we operate and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, and these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or development. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein whether as a result of any new information, future events, or otherwise.

1


 

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
