Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the planned merger transaction with Viatris Inc., as well as and payments that may be made upon the satisfaction of specified milestones, which are each based on the Company’s current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, risks related to the Company’s ability to complete the transaction on the proposed terms and schedule or at all; whether the conditions for the tender offer in connection with the merger will be satisfied, or whether a sufficient number of shares will be tendered; the outcome of any future legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company and/or others relating to the transaction; the failure (or delay) to receive any required regulatory approvals relating to the transaction; the possibility that competing offers will be made; uncertainty of the expected financial performance of the Company and its products, including whether any milestones will ever be achieved; and the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the acquisition agreement.

The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations, including the Company's expectations regarding the Company's planned merger with Viatris, Inc., and projections about its business, the industry in which it operates and financial trends that it believes may affect business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects, and these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or development. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, these forward-looking statements should not be relied on as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the Company's forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, the Company does not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

In addition, statements that “the Company believes” and similar statements reflect its beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while the Company believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and its statements should not be read to indicate that it has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
