Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those statements regarding the establishment of a Japanese new corporation, the registrant and Sosei CVC’s plan to enter into definitive agreements and the proposed timing of execution of such agreements. The registrant may not be successful in negotiating definitive documentation by the time period expected or at all, and even if successful, the sale of securities may not be completed if the conditions to closing such sale are not met. These forward-looking statements and their implications are based on the current expectations of the management of the registrant only, and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the registrant’s reports filed from time to time with the SEC. Except as otherwise required by law, the registrant undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
