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.
