Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This current report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1, ~~99.2 and 99.3 (collectively, this “Current Report”)~~ hereto contain certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “may,” “could,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “approximately” or, in each case, their negative or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. They appear in a number of places throughout this ~~Current~~current ~~Report~~report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 hereto and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, projections, outlook, analyses or current expectations concerning, among other things, the strength and breadth of our intellectual property, expectations regarding financial condition, liquidity, the length of time that we will be able to continue to fund our operating expenses, ~~and~~ capital expenditures and our previously announced bankruptcy proceeding.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events, competitive dynamics, and healthcare, regulatory and scientific developments and depend on the economic circumstances that may or may not occur in the future or may occur on longer or shorter timelines than anticipated. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained herein, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in the presentation as a result of, among other factors, the factors referenced in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission during March 2016. Any forward-looking statements that we make herein speak only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the presentation, except as required by law.

You should read carefully our “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Industry Data” and the factors described in the “Risk Factors” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K to better understand the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business.
