Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) has made available a presentation about the Company’s business (the “Presentation”), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) and is hereby incorporated by reference.

The furnishing of the Presentation is not an admission as to the materiality of any information therein. The information contained in the Presentation is summary information that should be considered in the context of the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and other public announcements the Company may make by press release or otherwise from time to time. The Presentation speaks as of the date of this Report. While the Company may elect to update the Presentation in the future to reflect events and circumstances occurring or existing after the date of this Report, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so.

The Presentation contains forward-looking statements, and as a result, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this communication are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about: expectations regarding our capitalization and resources; the adequacy of our capital to support our future operations and our ability to successfully initiate and complete clinical trials; our strategy and focus; the development and commercial potential of any of our product candidates; the timing and success of our development efforts; the success of any of our trials and our ability to achieve regulatory approval for any product candidate; the entry into or modification or termination of collaborative agreements; the date that an IND may be filed with the FDA; the potential market or success for the clinical development programs of the Company; and any statements other than statements of historical fact, including those related to the Company’s future cash, market or financial position. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and the Company assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements and historical performance: the availability and access, in general, of funds to fund operations and necessary capital expenditures, the strength of our intellectual property portfolio, the expected safety profiles of our product candidates, the proof of concept of our product candidates, the target opportunities for certain of our product candidates, our expected dates of submission of one or more Investigational New Drug Applications to the FDA, market opportunities with respect to certain diseases connected with our product candidates, manufacturing and formulation capabilities of the Company or our manufacturing partners with respect to our product candidates, as well as our management’s response to the preceding factors. The foregoing factors are in addition to the other factors set forth in the Company’s reports on Form 10-K, Form 8-K, and other documents on file with the SEC.

Other risks and uncertainties are more fully described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2019, and in other filings that the Company makes and will make with the SEC. Existing and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibit(s) attached hereto speak only as of the date stated herein, and subsequent events and developments may cause the Company’s expectations and beliefs to change. While the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements publicly at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any date after the date stated herein.
