Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including statements about our investigative stage drug candidates, including with respect to their potential (including to become first or best-in-class), safety, efficacy, indications, significance of data, development plans, differentiation, the market and unmet needs and commercialization, expected data readouts and initiation of new clinical trials; our focus, goals, strategy, plans, timelines and guidance; our partnered programs; financial and other guidance; and other statements that are not historical facts, including statements that may include words such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect,” “potential” or other similar words. For such statements, we claim the protection of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual events or results may differ materially from expectations, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the time they were made. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements include, without limitation: the timing and outcome of research, development and regulatory review is uncertain; results of clinical trials and other studies are subject to different interpretations and may not be predictive of future results; clinical and nonclinical data is voluminous and detailed, and regulatory agencies may interpret or weigh the importance of data differently and reach different conclusions than Arena or others, request additional information, have additional recommendations or change their guidance or requirements; unexpected or unfavorable new data; our drug candidates may not advance in development or be approved for marketing; clinical trials and other studies may not proceed at the time or in the manner expected or at all; data and information related to our programs may not meet regulatory requirements or otherwise be sufficient for further development, regulatory review, partnering or approval; top-line data may not accurately reflect the complete results of a particular study or trial; other risks related to developing, seeking regulatory approval of and commercializing drugs, including regulatory, manufacturing, supply and marketing issues and drug availability; we expect to need additional funds to advance all of our programs, and you and others may not agree with the manner in which we allocate our resources; Arena's and third parties' intellectual property rights; competition; reimbursement and pricing decisions; risks related to relying on partners and other third parties; and satisfactory resolution of litigation or other disagreements. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by our forward-looking statements are disclosed in our SEC filings, including under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, other than as may be required under applicable law.
