Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this “Quarterly Report,” contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” but also are contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, as well as in sections such as “Risk Factors” that are incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, or the “Annual Report.” In particular, we caution you that our forward-looking statements are subject to the ongoing circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and future financial results. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the words “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “objective,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue” and “ongoing,” or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology intended to identify statements about the future. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our expectations of the future, about which we cannot be certain. Forward-looking statements include statements about:

●

our ability to successfully commercialize OLINVYK and any other product candidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;

●

our sales, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and strategies;

●

any ongoing or planned clinical trials and nonclinical studies for our product candidates;

●

the extent of future clinical trials potentially required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for our product candidates;

●

our ability to fund future operating expenses and capital expenditures with our current cash resources or to secure additional funding in the future;

●

the timing and likelihood of obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals for our product candidates;

●

our plan to develop and potentially commercialize our product candidates;

●

the clinical utility and potential market acceptance of our product candidates, particularly in light of existing and future competition;

●

the size of the markets for our product candidates;

●

the performance of third-parties upon which we depend, including contract manufacturing organizations, suppliers, contract research organizations, distributors and logistics providers;

●

our ability to identify or acquire additional product candidates with significant commercial potential that are consistent with our commercial objectives;

●

the extent to which health epidemics and other outbreaks of communicable diseases, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the efforts to mitigate it, could disrupt our operations and/or materially and adversely affect our business and financial conditions;

●

our intellectual property position and our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection and defend our intellectual property rights against third parties; and

●

our ability to satisfy all applicable Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

Table of Contents

You should refer to the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report for a discussion of important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
