Cautionary
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, statements that express the Company’s intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements
related to the Company’s future activities, or future events or conditions, including, without limitation, those related to the
anticipated developments of the Company’s product candidates developments and the Company’s plans to relist its common stock,
which can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“aims,” “potential,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,”
“estimates,” “continue,” “likely to” and other similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking
statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These statements are not historical facts and
are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business based, in part, on assumptions made by
its management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult

made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date
of this Form 8-K, except as required by applicable law.
