About Faron Pharmaceuticals Ltd
Faron (AIM: FARN, First North: FARON) is a clinical stage
biopharmaceutical company developing novel treatments for medical
conditions with significant unmet needs caused by dysfunction of
our immune system. The Company currently has a pipeline based on
the receptors involved in regulation of immune response in
oncology, organ damage and bone marrow regeneration. Bexmarilimab,
a novel anti-Clever-1 humanised antibody, is its investigative
precision immunotherapy with the potential to provide permanent
immune stimulation for difficult-to-treat cancers through targeting
myeloid function. Currently in Phase I/II clinical development as a
potential therapy for patients with untreatable solid tumours,
bexmarilimab has potential as a single-agent therapy or in
combination with other standard treatments including immune
checkpoint molecules. Traumakine is an investigational intravenous
(IV) interferon beta-1a therapy for the treatment of acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and other ischemic or
hyperinflammatory conditions. Traumakine is currently being
evaluated in global trials as a potential treatment for
hospitalised patients with COVID-19 and with the 59th Medical Wing
of the US Air Force and the US Department of Defense for the
prevention of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) after
ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by a major trauma. Faron is
based in Turku, Finland. Further information is available at

Caution regarding forward looking statements
Certain statements in this announcement, are, or may be deemed
to be, forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are
identified by their use of terms and phrases such as "believe",
"could", "should", "expect", "hope", "seek", "envisage",
"estimate", "intend", "may", "plan", "potentially", "will" or the
negative of those, variations or comparable expressions, including
references to assumptions. These forward-looking statements are not
based on historical facts but rather on the Directors' current
expectations and assumptions regarding the Company's future growth,
results of operations, performance, future capital and other
expenditures (including the amount, nature and sources of funding
thereof), competitive advantages, business prospects and
opportunities. Such forward looking statements reflect the
Directors' current beliefs and assumptions and are based on
information currently available to the Directors.
A number of factors could cause actual results to differ
materially from the results and expectations discussed in the
forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond the control of
the Company. In particular, the early data from initial patients in
the MATINS trial may not be replicated in larger patient numbers
and the outcome of clinical trials may not be favourable or
clinical trials over and above those currently planned may be
required before the Company is able to apply for marketing approval
for a product. In addition, other factors which could cause actual
results to differ materially include the ability of the Company to
successfully licence its programmes within the anticipated
timeframe or at all, risks associated with vulnerability to general
economic and business conditions, competition, environmental and
other regulatory changes, actions by governmental authorities, the
availability of capital markets or other sources of funding,
reliance on key personnel, uninsured and underinsured losses and
other factors. Although any forward-looking statements contained in
this announcement are based upon what the Directors believe to be
reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure investors that
actual results will be consistent with such forward looking
statements. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on forward looking statements. Subject to any continuing
obligations under applicable law or any relevant AIM Rule
requirements, in providing this information the Company does not
undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any of the
