Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This current report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than those of historical fact in this current report on Form 8-K are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “may,” “intend,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “estimate,” “potential” and “continue” and similar expressions, including the negative of these words, but not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, express or implied statements regarding the Company’s beliefs and expectations regarding the advancement of its COVID-19 therapeutic antibody programs, execution of its regulatory, clinical and strategic plans, anticipated upcoming milestones for IMM-BCP-01, including expectations regarding therapeutic potential and benefits thereof. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and assumptions applicable to Immunome and our industry in general that are difficult to predict. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, those risks and uncertainties associated with: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, operations, strategy, goals and anticipated milestones; the Company’s ability to execute on its strategy with respect to its R&D efforts, IND submissions and other regulatory filings, timing of these filings and governmental authority feedback regarding the same, initiation of clinical studies and other anticipated milestones as and when anticipated; the effectiveness of the Company’s product candidates, including the possibility that further preclinical data and any clinical trial data may be inconsistent with the data used for advancing the product candidates; the Company’s ability to fund operations; the Company’s reliance on vendors; the competitive landscape; and the additional risks and uncertainties set forth more fully under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 25, 2021, and elsewhere in the Company’s filings and reports with the SEC. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from what is contained in (or may be implied from) any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them except as may be required under applicable law.
