Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management's current knowledge, assumptions, judgment and expectations regarding future performance or events. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such statements are reasonable, they give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct and you should be aware that actual events or results may differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Words such as “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “possible,” “goals,” “accelerate,” “continue,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s expectations regarding the timeline to file for and potential to obtain emergency use authorization (EUA) and a Biologics License Application (BLA) for lenzilumab as a COVID-19 therapy. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the risks inherent in the Company’s lack of profitability and need for additional capital to grow its business; the Company’s dependence on partners to further the development of its product candidates; the uncertainties inherent in the development, attainment of the requisite regulatory approvals or authorization for emergency or broader patient use for lenzilumab and launch of lenzilumab; challenges associated with the manufacturing of lenzilumab, and potential changes to the schedule for such manufacturing efforts; the outcome of pending or future litigation; and the various risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” sections and elsewhere in the Humanigen's periodic and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this filing. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements made in this filing to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
