FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are not statements of historical fact and are 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. The forward-looking statements are principally, but not exclusively, contained in “Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other 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. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about management’s confidence or expectations, and our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “goal,” "foreseeable," “see,” “estimate,” “project,” “intends,” “think,” “potential,” “objective,” “optimistic,” “strategy,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

•the timing and success of preclinical studies and clinical trials conducted by us and our development partners;

•the ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of our product candidates, and the labeling for any approved products;

•the scope, progress, expansion, and costs of developing and commercializing our product candidates;

•the size and growth of the potential markets for our product candidates and the ability to serve those markets;

•our expectations regarding our expenses and revenue, the sufficiency of our cash resources and needs for additional financing;

•the rate and degree of market acceptance of any of our product candidates;

•our expectations regarding competition;

•our anticipated growth strategies;

•our ability to attract or retain key personnel;

•our ability to establish and maintain development partnerships;

•our expectations regarding federal, state and foreign regulatory requirements;

•regulatory developments in the U.S. and foreign countries;

•our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product candidates;

•the anticipated trends and challenges in our business and the market in which we operate; and

•our ability to assess the probability of achievement of milestones and other advances in our product candidates.

We discuss many of these risks in detail under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” beginning on page 18 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 25, 2024, or the Annual Report. You should carefully review all these factors, as well as other risks described in our public filings, and you should be aware that there may be other factors, including factors of which we are not currently aware, that could cause these differences.

Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. We may not update these forward-looking statements, even though our situation may change in the future, unless we have obligations under the federal securities laws to update and disclose material developments related to previously disclosed information.
