FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or the Quarterly Report, contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including without limitation statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position including our projected cash runway, our requirement for additional funding, our business strategy, including potential strategic partnership efforts, our prospective products, the design, timing and results of our clinical studies and data readouts, product approvals, communications with, feedback from, or submissions to the FDA, research and development costs, timing and likelihood of success, our ability to continue as a going concern, our ability to maintain compliance with any applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, executive and director transition matters, plans and objectives of management for future operations and future results of anticipated products, or the timing of any of the foregoing, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that 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,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including the risks, uncertainties and assumptions described under the sections in this report titled “Summary Risk Factors,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties.
You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, 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, changed circumstances or otherwise.

SUMMARY RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report. You should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties when investing in our common stock. The principal risks and uncertainties affecting our business include the following:
We have identified conditions and events that raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
We will need additional funding in order to advance development of our product candidates (including to conduct the Phase 2 study of SER-155 in allo-HSCT) and commercialize our product candidates, if approved. If we are unable to raise capital or secure a partnership or other business development transaction, we could be required to implement further cost-reduction measures, reduce or delay our product development programs or potential future commercialization efforts, or pursue other alternatives, which could include seeking relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or winding down our operations.
We are a clinical-stage company and have incurred significant losses since our inception. We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve or maintain profitability.
The total amount of the Milestone Payments (as defined herein) we may receive from the Transaction (as defined herein), are subject to various risks and uncertainties.
We may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transaction (as defined herein), and we may face new challenges as a smaller, less diversified company.
Our limited operating history may make it difficult to evaluate the success of our business to date and to assess our future viability.
We are early in our development efforts of our product candidates and may not be successful in our efforts to use our reverse translational platform to build a pipeline of product candidates and develop additional marketable drugs.
Our product candidates are based on live biotherapeutics, which is a novel approach to therapeutic intervention.
Clinical drug development involves a risky, lengthy and expensive process, with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and any potential future commercialization of our product candidates.
Delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, could result in our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals being delayed or prevented.
Disruptions at the FDA and other government agencies caused by funding shortages, government shutdowns, or staffing limitations could hinder their ability to hire, retain or deploy key leadership and other personnel, or otherwise prevent new or modified products from being developed, approved or commercialized in a timely manner or at all, which could negatively impact our business.
Current and future legislation or regulation may increase the difficulty and cost for us to obtain marketing approval of and commercialize our product candidates and may adversely affect the prices we may obtain.
If we are not able to obtain, or if there are delays in obtaining, required regulatory approvals, we or any collaborators will not be able to commercialize our product candidates or will not be able to do so as soon as anticipated, and our ability to generate revenue will be materially impaired. Additionally, failure to obtain marketing approval in international jurisdictions would prevent our product candidates from being marketed abroad.
We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties to conduct our clinical trials, and those third parties may not perform satisfactorily, including failing to meet deadlines for the completion of such trials.
Even if any of our product candidates receive marketing approval, such product candidates may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, hospitals, third-party payors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success.
We face substantial competition, which may result in others discovering, developing or commercializing competing products before or more successfully than we do.
If we are unable to adequately protect our proprietary technology or obtain and maintain issued patents that are sufficient to protect our product candidates, others could compete against us more directly, which would have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
Our future success depends on our ability to retain key executives and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.
We have in the past and may again in the future receive a notice of the failure to satisfy a continued listing rule from Nasdaq.
