Forward Looking Statements Zogenix cautions you that statements included in this presentation that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements. Words such as "believes," "plans," "expects," "will," "potential" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the company's current beliefs and expectations. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding: the timing of the commencement and completion of clinical trials and regulatory submissions for ZX008 and RELDAY; the Company's cash position related to operating expenses and planned development activities; and delivery and dosing benefits of ZX008 and RELDAY and the potential to demonstrate that they have differentiated product profiles amongst currently marketed drug products. Actual results may differ from those set forth in this presentation due to the risk and uncertainties inherent in Zogenix's business, including, without limitation: difficulties or delays relating to the development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of any of Zogenix’s product candidates; the potential that earlier clinical trials may not be predictive of future results; Zogenix's reliance on third parties to conduct its clinical trials, enroll patients, manufacture its preclinical and clinical drug supplies and manufacture commercial supplies of its drug products, if approved; Zogenix's ability to fully comply with numerous federal, state and local laws and regulatory requirements that apply to its product development activities; Zogenix could spend its available financial resources faster than it currently expects and may be unable to raise additional capital if and when needed, on acceptable terms or at all; and other risks described in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, and Zogenix undertakes no obligation to revise or update this release to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.
