Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

United Therapeutics and Miromatrix are providing this information as of October 30, 2023 and undertake no obligation to update or revise the information contained in this document whether as a result of new information, future events or any other reason. Statements included in this press release that are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements related to the timing of the consummation of the business combination transaction between United Therapeutics and Miromatrix (the “Transaction”); the potential financial upside of the Transaction; United Therapeutics’ research and development pipeline, including its plans to address the shortage of transplantable organs; United Therapeutics’ expectation that the Miromatrix acquisition will help enhance its ability to achieve its organ manufacturing goals; Miromatrix’s expectation that the Transaction will accelerate the development of its pipeline; United Therapeutics’ plan to innovate for the unmet medical needs of its patients and to benefit its other stakeholders, and its plan to provide a brighter future for patients through the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies and technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs; and the ability of Miromatrix’s technology platform, whether prior to or following the consummation of the Transaction, to address the availability of organs for patients in need. Forward-looking statements are based on United Therapeutics or Miromatrix management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, them. Because such statements are based on expectations as to future events and results and are not statements of fact, actual events and results may differ materially from those projected depending on a number of factors affecting the Transaction and Miromatrix’s business. The risks and uncertainties which forward-looking statements are subject to include, but are not limited to: the risk that the Transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect Miromatrix’s business and the price of Miromatrix common stock; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Transaction, including the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares of Miromatrix common stock; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Transaction on Miromatrix’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally; risks that the proposed Transaction disrupts current plans and operations of Miromatrix or United Therapeutics and potential difficulties in Miromatrix employee retention as a result of the Transaction; risks related to diverting management’s attention from Miromatrix’s ongoing business operations; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Miromatrix related to the merger agreement or the Transaction; the ability of United Therapeutics to successfully integrate Miromatrix’s operations and technology after the Transaction closes; future research and development results, including preclinical and clinical trial results; the timing or outcome of FDA approvals or actions, if any; and other risks and uncertainties, such as those described in periodic and other reports filed by United Therapeutics and Miromatrix with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including their respective most recent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
