Cautionary Statement
This presentation contains forward-looking statements, as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA), which statements
may be identified by words such as expects, plans, projects, will, may, anticipates, believes,
should, intends, estimates, and other words of similar meaning, in cluding statements regarding expected results and benefits of Lagova, including its safety and efficacy, whether clinical
trials for adult and pediatric growth hormone deficiency will generate data to support marketing approval, whether a single
injection of Lagova can replace seven consecutive daily injections of currently marketed hGH, whether Lagova will have low immunogenecity, the expected commencement date for the Phase 3 clinical trial for Lagova in pediatric patients, whether Lagova will be successfully developed or commercialized, expectations regarding Lagova and our other products in development and their market potential, whether Lagova has competitive advantages over other products, as well as other non-historical statements about our expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding our business, technologies and products, financial
condition, strategies or prospects. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from
the activities and results ant icipated in forward-looking statements. These factors include those described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well
as the risks inherent in funding, developing and obtaining regulatory approvals of new, commercially-viable and competitive products and treatments, including the risks that the Phase 3 clinical trials for the Lagova product may not be successful or achieve the expected results or effectiveness, and may not generate data that would
support the approval or marketing of this product for the indications being studied, that others may develop products which are
superior to Lagova, and that Lagova may not have advantages or prove to be superior over presently marketed products or products introduced in the future.
In addition, forward-looking statements may also be adversely affected by general market factors, competitive product development, product availability,
federal and state regulations and legislation, the regulatory process for new products and indications, manufacturing issues that may arise, patent positions and litigation, among other factors, including
all of the risks identified under the heading Risk Factors in OPKOs Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date the statements were made, and we do not undertake
any obligation to update forward-looking statements. We intend that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the PSLRA.
