SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical facts, including statements concerning our business strategy and plans, future operating results and financial position, as well as our objectives and expectations for our future operations, are forward-looking statements.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by such terminology as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “expect” and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

 

the timing of our planned investigational new drug application submissions for our lead product candidates NX-2127 and NX-1607 and other drug candidates;

 

 

the timing and conduct of our clinical trial programs for our lead product candidates NX-2127 and NX-1607 and other drug candidates, including statements regarding the timing of initiation of the clinical trials;

 

 

the timing of, and our ability to obtain, marketing approvals for our lead product candidates NX-2127 and NX-1607 and other drug candidates;

 

 

our plans to pursue research and development of other product candidates;

 

 

the potential advantages of our DELigase platform and our product candidates;

 

 

the extent to which our scientific approach and DELigase platform may potentially address a broad range of diseases;

 

 

the potential benefits of our arrangements with Sanofi S.A. and Gilead Sciences, Inc.;

 

 

the timing of and our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for our product candidates;

 

 

the potential receipt of revenue from future sales of our product candidates;

 

 

the rate and degree of market acceptance and clinical utility of our product candidates;

 

 

our estimates regarding the potential market opportunity for our product candidates;

 

 

our sales, marketing and distribution capabilities and strategy;

 

 

our ability to establish and maintain arrangements for the manufacturing of our product candidates;

 

 

the impact of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on our business;

 

 

the potential achievement of milestones and receipt of royalty payments under our collaborations;

 

 

our ability to enter into additional collaborations with third parties;

 

 

our intellectual property position;

 

 

our estimates regarding expenses, future revenues, capital requirements and needs for additional financing;

 

 

the impact of government laws and regulations; and

 

 

our competitive position.

 

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, and financial needs. 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. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you

 


 

should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our 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, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein until after we distribute this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.
