2 Any statements, other than statements of historical facts, made in this presentation regarding our future financial or business performance, conditions, plans, prospects, trends, or strategies and other financial and business matters; our ability to obtain additional financing; the estimated size of the market for our product candidates, the timing and success of our development and commercialization of our anticipated product candidates; and the availability of alternative therapies for our target market, are, or may be deemed, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “design,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek” or the negative of these words and similar expressions and their variants may identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations, are based on certain assumptions and involve certain risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements due to various factors. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, risks related to securing and maintaining relationships with collaborators; risks relating to our clinical trials; risks relating to the commercialization, if any, of our proposed product candidates (such as marketing, regulatory, product liability, supply, competition, and other risks); dependence on the efforts of third parties; dependence on intellectual property; and risks related to our cash resources and ability to obtain working capital to fund our proposed operations. Further information regarding on the factors that could affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations are contained our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at www.sec.gov. These forward-looking statements represent management’s expectations as of the date hereof only, and we specifically disclaim any duty or obligation to update forward-looking statements as a result of subsequent events or developments, except as required by law.

One patient in the Phase 2 NASH study had autoimmune hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis), which was present at baseline. As a result of asymptomatic TSH elevations caused by the Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the patient remained in the clinical trial on thyroxine. Patients with thyroid disorders including those on thyroxine for hypothyroidism are allowed in resmetirom clinical trials because of resmetirom’s excellent safety profile, liver targeting and beta selectivity.
