These forward-looking statements consist of statements regarding: (i) the Company’s expectations regarding the timing and interim data for its Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials for Olvi-Vec and (ii) the Company’s expectations regarding its cash operating runway. Actual future results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: the accuracy of the Company’s assumptions and expectations underlying its projections regarding its cash operating runway; uncertainty regarding geopolitical and macroeconomic events and any resulting delays in clinical trials; risks associated with the discovery, development and regulation of Olvi-Vec; the risk that the Company or its partners may cease or delay preclinical or clinical development activities for any existing or future product candidates for a variety of reasons (including difficulties or delays in patient enrollment in planned clinical trials); the possibility that existing collaborations could be terminated early; subsequent study or trial results and findings may contradict earlier study or trial results and findings; and the risks set forth under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
