SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “contemplate,” continue,” “could,” “design,” “due,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “positioned,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” or the negative or plural of those terms, and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

•our ability to identify additional novel compounds with significant commercial potential to acquire or in-license;

•our ability to successfully acquire or in-license additional drug candidates on reasonable terms;

•our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue including any royalty or milestone payments, capital requirements and needs for additional financing;

•our ability to obtain regulatory approval of our current and future drug candidates;

•our expectations regarding the timing of clinical trials and potential regulatory filings;

•our expectations regarding the potential market size and the rate and degree of market acceptance of such drug candidates;

•our ability to fund our working capital requirements;

•the implementation of our business model and strategic plans for our business and drug candidates;

•developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;

•our ability to maintain and establish collaborations or obtain additional funding;

•our expectations regarding government and third-party payor coverage and reimbursement;

•our ability to compete in the markets we serve;

•the impact of government laws and regulations;

•developments relating to our competitors and our industry;

•the impact of geopolitical tensions, including war or the perception that hostilities may be imminent, adverse global economic conditions, terrorism, natural disasters or public health crises on our operations, research and development and clinical trials and potential disruption in the operations and business of third parties and collaborators with whom we conduct business; and

•the factors that may impact our financial results.

Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, those set forth in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” herein and for the reasons described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflects our current view with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, industry and future growth. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available in the future.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains estimates, projections and other information concerning our industry, our business and the markets for certain drugs and consumer products, including data regarding the estimated size of those markets, their projected growth rates and the incidence of certain medical conditions. Information that is based on estimates, forecasts, projections or similar methodologies is inherently subject to uncertainties and actual events or circumstances may differ materially from events and circumstances reflected in this information. Unless otherwise expressly stated, we obtained these industry, business, market and other data from reports, research surveys, studies and similar data prepared by third parties, industry, medical and general publications, government data and similar sources and

we have not independently verified the data from third party sources. In some cases, we do not expressly refer to the sources from which these data are derived.
