Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “projects,” “future,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “guidance,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, which are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or forecasts for the future, the therapeutic potential of F-star’s product candidates, the potential success of the collaboration between F-star and AstraZeneca and F-star’s potential receipt of milestone and sales-based payments from AstraZeneca. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may differ materially from those projected.
Such forward-looking statements are based on F-star’s expectations and involve risks and uncertainties; consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, risks relating to F-star’s status as a clinical stage immuno-oncology company and its need for substantial additional funding in order to complete the development and commercialization of its product candidates, that it may experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of its product candidates, that its clinical trials may fail to adequately demonstrate the safety and efficacy of its product candidates, that results of preclinical studies and early stage clinical trials may not be predictive of the results of later state clinical trials, that F-star faces significant competition in its drug discovery and development efforts, risks from global pandemics including COVID-19, legislative, regulatory, political and economic developments, references to novel technologies and methods and F-star’s business and product development plans, including the advancement of F-star’s proprietary and co-development programs, and inherent uncertainties associated with developing new products or technologies.
New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for F-star to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. These risks are more fully discussed in F-star’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements included in this press release are based on information available to us as of the date of this press release. F-star does not undertake any obligation to update such forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date of this press release, except to the extent required by law.
