This press release contains forward-looking statements for the purposes of the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. The use of words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “undoubtedly,” “project,” “intend,” “future,” “potential,” or “continue,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. For example, all statements Voyager makes regarding the initiation of the planned VYTAL Phase 1/2 clinical trial of VY-HTT01 in Huntington disease in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the release of data from the planned VYTAL clinical trial in 2022; Voyager’s continuing efforts in the discovery and engineering of novel AAV capsids; the presentation of data at conferences demonstrating the characteristics and performance of novel AAV capsids developed by Voyager; the continuing progress by Voyager in developing new novel AAV capsids; the ability of Voyager’s novel capsid discoveries to support a significant number of central nervous system programs and the ability of Voyager’s novel capsid discoveries to support programs sponsored by third parties by means of licensing or collaboration arrangements; the completion of imaging and clinical assessments by Neurocrine Biosciences for participants of the RESTORE-1 clinical study; the decision of Voyager to not advance on its own the VY-AADC program for Parkinson’s disease; Voyager’s ability to identify and attract parties to participate in research and development collaborations, including any potential collaboration for the VY-AADC program; Voyager’s initiation, timing, progress, activities, goals and reporting of the results of its preclinical programs and its research and development programs; the potential benefits, timing and future operation of the collaboration agreement with Neurocrine Biosciences; Voyager’s ability to add new programs to its pipeline; Voyager’s ability to operate its research and development activities efficiently and effectively; and the utility and value of Voyager’s patent portfolio are forward looking.
All forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions by Voyager’s management that, although Voyager believes such forward-looking statements to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that Voyager expected. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the ability of Neurocrine Biosciences and Voyager to obtain imaging data for patients treated as part of the RESTORE-1 clinical trial; the ability of Voyager to effectively present its novel capsid data by means of virtual conference proceedings in response to the COVID-19 health crisis; the ability of Voyager to progress its research and engineering program for novel capsids, and to procure sufficient numbers of non-human primates to conduct non-human primate studies; the interest of third parties in Voyager’s novel capsids, and the ability of Voyager to negotiate and complete licensing or collaboration agreements on terms acceptable to Voyager and such third parties; with respect to the VYTAL clinical trial, the ability of Voyager to successfully establish clinical sites, to engage investigators, to recruit patients meeting eligibility requirements, to manage COVID-19
