  2. Safe Harbor and Disclaimer Statement This presentation contains forward-looking statements about our expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding, among other things, our product development efforts, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects. In addition, from time to time, we or our representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “ believe, ” “ expect, ” “ intend, ” “ plan, ” “ may, ” “ should ” or “ anticipate ” or their negatives or other variations of these words or other comparable words or by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. These forward- looking statements may be included in, but are not limited to, this presentation, various filings made by us with the SEC, press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers. Forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the factors summarized below. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following: the timing and cost of Galmed's Phase 3/4 ARMOR trial for Aramchol ™ , completion and receiving favorable results of the ARMOR trial for Aramchol ™ ; regulatory action with respect to Aramchol ™ by the FDA or the EMA; the commercial launch and future sales of Aramchol ™ or any future product candidates; Galmed's ability to comply with all applicable post-market regulatory requirements for Aramchol ™ in the countries in which it seeks to market the product; Galmed's ability to achieve favorable pricing for Aramchol ™ ; Galmed's expectations regarding the commercial market for NASH; third-party payor reimbursement for Aramchol ™ ; Galmed's estimates regarding anticipated capital requirements and Galmed's needs for additional financing; market adoption of Aramchol ™ by physicians and patients; the timing, cost or other aspects of the commercial launch of Aramchol ™ ; the development and approval of the use of Aramchol ™ for additional indications or in combination therapy; and Galmed's expectations regarding licensing, acquisitions and strategic operations. More detailed information about the risks and uncertainties affecting Galmed is contained under the heading "Risk Factors" included in Galmed's most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 13, 2019, and in other filings that Galmed has made and may make with the SEC in the future. These statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry ’ s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf included in, but not limited to, this presentation speak only as of the date hereof and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing. We undertake no obligations to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In evaluating forward-looking statements, you should consider these risks and uncertainties.
