Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, known as the PSLRA. This includes statements regarding: the anticipated completion and effects of the proposed merger; anticipated communications regarding each of Angion’s and Elicio’s entry into the Merger Agreement; and other statements regarding management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or forecasts for the future, and, therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. Angion undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law. Angion uses words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “projects,” “future,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “guidance,” and similar expressions to identify these forward-looking statements that are intended to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions of the PSLRA. Such forward-looking statements are based on Angion’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: the completion of the merger, including the need for stockholder approval and the satisfaction (or waiver) of closing conditions; the ability of Angion to remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Market; and the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement.
New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for Angion to predict all such factors nor can Angion 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, as well as other risks associated with the transaction, will be more fully discussed in the proxy statement/prospectus that are and/or will be included in the Form 8-K and the Form S-4 that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. Additional risks and uncertainties are identified and discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of Angion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed from time to time with the SEC. Forward-looking statements included in this communication are based on information available to Angion as of the date of this communication.
