requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This current report on Form 8-K contains predictive
or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements
other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this current report on Form 8-K, including statements that express our
intentions, plans, objectives, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities
or other future events or conditions are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,”
“could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,”
“project,” “will,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections made by management about our
business, our industry and other conditions affecting our financial condition, results of operations or business prospects. These statements
are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual
outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements due
to numerous risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause such outcomes and results to differ include, but are not limited to, risks
and uncertainties arising from: expectations for increases or decreases in expenses; expectations for the clinical and pre-clinical development,
manufacturing, regulatory approval, and commercialization of our pharmaceutical product candidate or any other products we may acquire
or in-license; our use of clinical research centers and other contractors; expectations for incurring capital expenditures to expand our
research and development and manufacturing capabilities; expectations for generating revenue or becoming profitable on a sustained basis;
expectations or ability to enter into marketing and other partnership agreements; expectations or ability to enter into product acquisition
and in-licensing transactions; expectations or ability to build our own commercial infrastructure to manufacture, market and sell our
product candidates; acceptance of our products by doctors, patients or payors; our ability to compete against other companies and research
institutions; our ability to secure adequate protection for our intellectual property; our ability to attract and retain key personnel;
availability of reimbursement for our products; estimates of the sufficiency of our existing cash and cash equivalents and investments
to finance our operating requirements, including expectations regarding the value and liquidity of our investments; the volatility of
our stock price; expected losses; expectations for future capital requirements; and those risks discussed in our filings which we make
with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this current report
on Form 8-K, except as required by applicable law. Investors should evaluate any statements made by us in light of these important factors.
