Forward Looking Statements

This Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto contain forward-looking statements of Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Infinity” or the “Company”) that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” “contemplate,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about: the Company’s estimate regarding its cash balances for the year ended December 31, 2017 and other expectations regarding its business, plans, prospects and strategies. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements that the Company makes due to a number of important factors, including those Risk Factors discussed in Infinity’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 7, 2017, and its other filings with the SEC. The forward-looking statements in this Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto represent the Company’s views as of the date of this Form 8-K. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and development will cause its views to change. However, while it may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it has no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Form 8-K.

Although it has not finalized its full financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the Company announced on January 8, 2018, that it expects to report that it had approximately $57.6 million in cash and investments (unaudited) as of December 31, 2017.

The information contained in Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K is unaudited and preliminary, and does not present all information necessary for an understanding of the Company’s financial condition as of December 31, 2017 and its results of operations for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017. The audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 is ongoing and could result in changes to the information set forth above.

The information in this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

On January 8, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing its 2018 business goals and financial guidance. The full text of this press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
