All statements contained in this presentation other than statements of historical fact should be considered forward - looking statements, including, without limitation, statements related to the safety, efficacy, and regulatory and clinical design or progress, potential regulatory submissions, approvals and timing thereof for BXCL 501 as a potential acute treatment for AAD ; developments and plans relating to the TRANQUILITY program ; and the potential for the results from the Company’s completed, ongoing and proposed clinical trials to support regulatory approvals for its product candidates in both the care - facility and at - home settings . When used herein, words including “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “designed,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward - looking statements, though not all forward - looking statements use these words or expressions . In addition, any statements or information that refer to expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, performance or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward - looking . All forward - looking statements are based upon the Company’s current expectations and various assumptions . The Company believes there is a reasonable basis for its expectations and beliefs, but they are inherently uncertain . The Company may not realize its expectations, and its beliefs may not prove correct . Actual results could differ materially from those described or implied by such forward - looking statements as a result of various important factors, including, without limitation : its limited operating history and limited revenue generation ; its incurrence of significant losses ; its strategic reprioritization and related reduction in force may not achieve its intended outcome ; its need for substantial additional funding and ability to raise capital when needed ; its significant indebtedness, ability to comply with covenant obligations and potential payment obligations related to such indebtedness and other contractual obligations ; the Company has identified conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern ; its limited experience in drug discovery and drug development ; risks related to the TRANQUILITY program ; risks related to the limited clinical data supporting potential safety or efficacy of BXCL 501 for use in the at - home setting ; its dependence on the success and commercialization of IGALMI, BXCL 501 , BXCL 502 , BXCL 701 and BXCL 702 and other product candidates ; interim “top - line” and preliminary data from its clinical trials may change and result in material changes in the final data ; its ability to receive regulatory approval from the FDA and comparable foreign authorities for its product candidates ; clinical trials are expensive, time - consuming, difficult to design, difficult to conduct, and involve an uncertain income ; its lack of experience in marketing and selling drug products ; the risk that IGALMI or the Company’s product candidates may not be accepted by physicians or the medical community in general ; the Company’s estimated number of episodes of agitation and its corresponding estimated total addressable market are subject to inherent challenges and uncertainties ; the Company still faces extensive and ongoing regulatory requirements and obligations for IGALMI ; the failure of preliminary data from its clinical studies to predict final study results ; failure of its early clinical studies or preclinical studies to predict future clinical studies ; its ability to enroll patients in its clinical trials ; undesirable side effects caused by the Company’s product candidates ; its novel approach to the discovery and development of product candidates based on EvolverAI ; the significant influence of and dependence on BioXcel LLC ; its exposure to patent infringement lawsuits ; its reliance on third parties ; its ability to comply with the extensive regulations applicable to it ; impacts from data breaches or cyber - attacks, if any ; the Company is and may in the future be subject to legal proceedings, claims and investigations in or outside the ordinary course of business, which could be costly and time - consuming to defend and could result in unfavorable outcomes ; risks related to unfavorable global political or economic events and conditions ; risks associated with the increased scrutiny relating to environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters ; risks associated with federal, state or foreign health care “fraud and abuse” laws ; and its ability to commercialize its product candidates, as well as the important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in its Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the fiscal year ended December 31 , 2023 , which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www . sec . gov and the Investors section of the Company’s website at www . bioxceltherapeutics . com . These and other important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward - looking statements made in this presentation .
