Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements
Any statements in this press release about future expectations, plans and prospects for Epizyme, Inc. and other statements containing the words
anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, intend, may, plan, predict, project, target, potential, will,
would, could, should, continue, and similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may
differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including: uncertainties inherent in the initiation of future clinical studies and in the availability and timing of data from
ongoing clinical studies; enrollment in clinical trials; whether interim results from a clinical trial such as the early data referenced in this release will be predictive of the final results of the trial; whether results from preclinical studies
or earlier clinical studies will be predictive of the results of future trials; whether results from clinical studies will warrant meetings with regulatory authorities or submissions for regulatory approval; whether a fast track designation will
lead to a faster development or regulatory review or approval process; expectations for regulatory approvals to conduct trials or to market products; whether the Companys cash resources will be sufficient to fund the Companys foreseeable
and unforeseeable operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements; other matters that could affect the availability or commercial potential of the Companys therapeutic candidates; and other factors discussed in the Risk
Factors section of the Companys most recent Form 10-Q filed with the SEC and in the Companys other filings from time to time with the SEC. In addition, the forward-looking statements included in this press release
represent the Companys views as of the date hereof and should not be relied upon as representing the Companys views as of any date subsequent to the date hereof. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause
