Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Report") contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this Report, other than those of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding: the timing of commercial availability, potential methods of distribution and pricing for Evrysdi; advancement of the Company's joint collaboration program in SMA, including any potential regulatory submissions, regulatory approvals or commercial prospects; the Company's strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues and, projected costs; and the objectives of management.  Other forward-looking statements may be identified by the words “guidance”, “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” and similar expressions.  The Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements it makes as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those related to: the outcome of pricing, coverage and reimbursement negotiations with third party payors for the Company's products or product candidates that the Company commercializes or may commercialize in the future, including Evrysdi; the enrollment, conduct, and results of studies under the SMA collaboration and events during, or as a result of, the studies that could delay or prevent further development under the program, including any potential regulatory submissions and potential commercialization with regards to Evrysdi; the eligible patient base and commercial potential of Evrysdi or any of the Company's other product candidates; and the factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as any updates to these risk factors filed from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You are urged to carefully consider all such factors. As with any pharmaceutical under development, there are significant risks in the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of new products. There are no guarantees that any product or product candidate will receive or maintain regulatory approval in any territory, or prove to be commercially successful, including Evrysdi. The forward-looking statements contained herein represent the Company’s views only as of the date of this Report and the Company does not undertake or plan to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in plans, prospects, assumptions, estimates or projections, or other circumstances occurring after the date of this Report except as required by law.
