The forward-looking statements in this presentation relate to, among other things, statements regarding the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval and commercial launch of EPSOLAY®, commercial launch of TWYNEO, the strategic partnership with Galderma, progress on our innovative earlier stage programs, anticipated timing of the initiation of clinical trials for SGT-510, the intellectual property protection that would be provided by patents for SGT-210 and our tapinarof drug product, the timing of the launch of our tapinarof drug product, the future markets for various skin diseases, the timing of a test and a second POC study of erlotinib, projected profit margins, our expectations regarding our liquidity and ability to fund operational and capital expenditure requirements. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: risks relating to the timing of the PDUFA action date for EPSOLAY®, the timing of FDA approval, if any, of EPSOLAY; the risk that we will not receive all of the anticipated benefits of the strategic partnership with Galderma, the risk of a delay in the clinical trials for SGT-510; the risk that we don’t progress on our innovative earlier stage programs, the risk that patents for SGT-210 and our tapinarof drug product will not provide the anticipated intellectual property protection; the risk of a delay in the launch of our tapinarof drug product; the risk that our estimate of the markets for psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and for hyperkeratotic skin diseases are inaccurate; the risk that our tapinarof drug product will not be the only other player besides the brand for a number of years; the risk of a delay in the timing of a test of erlotinib with a much higher concentrations in an animal model and the risk of a delay of a second POC study on PPK patients; the fact that we have and expect to continue to incur significant losses; our need for additional funding, which may not be available; our ability to complete the development of, and obtain marketing approval for, our product candidates; our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for our product candidates in our target markets and the possibility of adverse regulatory or legal actions relating to our product candidates even if regulatory approval is obtained; our ability to commercialize and launch our product candidates at all or on a timely basis; our ability to obtain and maintain adequate protection of our intellectual property; our ability to manufacture our product candidates in commercial quantities, at an adequate quality or at an acceptable cost; acceptance of our product candidates by healthcare professionals and patients; the possibility that we may face third-party claims of intellectual property infringement; the timing and results of clinical trials that we may conduct or that our competitors and others may conduct relating to our or their products; delays in the launch of product candidates and generic drugs; intense competition in our industry; potential product liability claims; potential adverse federal, state, and local government regulation in the United States, Europe, or Israel; the impact of pandemics, such as COVID-19 (coronavirus); and loss or retirement of key executives and research scientists.
