a multiple-ascending dose study of SYN-020 during the third quarter of 2021.
A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current

Act of 1933, as amended. The information contained in this Item 7.01 and in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 shall not be incorporated
by reference into any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Company, whether made before or after the date

The press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 includes “safe harbor”
