Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 28, 2019 (Japanese Standard Time), MediciNova, Inc. (the Company) filed with the Tokyo Stock Exchange, an amended version of a
Japanese report referred to as Kessan Tanshin, which contained the Companys financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 (the Tanshin).
The Tanshin is substantially the same as the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2019, except the following supplemental information is provided:
|
|
|
In the amended Tanshin, the Company includes a revised financial results forecast for the year ending

Using 44,000,000 for the weighted average number of shares used for expected basic and diluted net loss per
share.

Note to financial results forecast: The above estimates are based on certain assumptions made by the
Companys management as of the date hereof. These assumptions are based on managements experience and perception of current conditions, trends, expected future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate in the
circumstances. Such estimates are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company and may cause the Companys actual results to differ materially from the above estimates.
Although the Companys management believes that these assumptions are reasonable, the Company cannot assure you that the Companys business will develop in accordance with these estimates. Investors are cautioned not to rely on these
estimates as it is highly likely that actual results will differ, perhaps materially. These risks include the risk factors detailed in the Companys Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Companys independent auditors have not compiled or been involved in the preparation of the forecasted financial results for fiscal year 2019. Accordingly,
they assume no responsibility for the accuracy or presentation of this information.

In the Tanshin, financial statements denominated in Japanese yen are disclosed as supplementary information. The
numbers were translated at 107.92 Japanese yen per U.S. dollar, which was the Telegraphic Transfer Middle Rate as per the MUFG Bank as of September 30, 2019.
|
The information in this Current Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

The Tanshin may include forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many
of which are beyond the Companys control. The Companys actual results may differ from those anticipated or expressed in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and its subsequent periodic reports on Forms 10-Q
and 8-K, and the differences may be material. Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements include discussions regarding our operating strategy, growth
strategy, licensing and acquisition strategy, cost savings initiatives, industry and economic conditions, market factors, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources, results of operations, expected progress of the development of our
product candidates, potential licensing, collaboration and partnering plans, anticipated trends and challenges in our business and the markets in which we operate, competitive position, intellectual property protection, critical accounting policies
and the impact of recent accounting pronouncements. For example, we make forward-looking statements regarding the potential for our product candidates to receive regulatory approval for one or more indications on a timely basis or at all; the
progress and results of pending clinical trials for certain of our product candidates, including any delays in commencing or completing enrollment for our ongoing or planned clinical trials; plans for future clinical trials and regulatory
submissions; unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate therapeutic efficacy of certain of our product candidates that could delay or prevent regulatory approval or commercialization or that could result in product liability claims; other
difficulties or delays in development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of and obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates; the scope and validity of patent protection for our product candidates; the market potential for our target
markets and our ability to compete; the potential to attract and maintain relationships with one or more strategic partners and terms of any related transactions; intense competition if any of our product candidates are ever commercialized; the
potential impact of uncertainties in the credit and capital markets or a future deterioration of these markets on our cash reserves; and our ability to raise sufficient capital or debt financing when needed, or at all. Such forward-looking
statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words may, might, will, intend, should, could, can, would,
expect, believe, estimate, anticipate, predict, potential, plan or similar words. For all forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should not rely unduly on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company undertakes no
obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by law.
