Forward-looking statements: This press release
contains forward-looking statements. For example, we are using
forward-looking statements when we discuss the potential of
Oravax's vaccine to potentially be more effective against current
and future variants of the COVID-19 virus and the potential of
ORMD-0801 to be the first commercial oral insulin capsule for the
treatment of diabetes. In addition, historic results of scientific
research and clinical trials do not guarantee that the conclusions
of future research or trials will suggest identical or even similar
conclusions. These forward-looking statements are based on the
current expectations of the management of Oramed only, and are
subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those described in the
forward-looking statements, including the risks and uncertainties
related to the progress, timing, cost, and results of clinical
trials and product development programs; difficulties or delays in
obtaining regulatory approval or patent protection for our product
candidates; competition from other pharmaceutical or biotechnology
companies; and our ability to obtain additional funding required to
conduct our research, development and commercialization activities.
In addition, the following factors, among others, could cause
actual results to differ materially from those described in the
forward-looking statements: changes in technology and market
requirements; delays or obstacles in launching our clinical trials;
changes in legislation; inability to timely develop and introduce
new technologies, products and applications; lack of validation of
our technology as we progress further and lack of acceptance of our
methods by the scientific community; inability to retain or attract
key employees whose knowledge is essential to the development of
our products; unforeseen scientific difficulties that may develop
with our process; greater cost of final product than anticipated;
loss of market share and pressure on pricing resulting from
competition; laboratory results that do not translate to equally
good results in real settings; our patents may not be sufficient;
and finally that products may harm recipients, all of which could
cause the actual results or performance of Oramed to differ
materially from those contemplated in such forward-looking
statements. Except as otherwise required by law, Oramed undertakes
no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after
the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
