FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: This release contains “forward-looking
statements” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws, including but
not limited to the expected use of the net proceeds from the offering.
These statements reflect management’s current knowledge, assumptions,
beliefs, estimates, and expectations and express management’s current
views of future performance, results, and trends and may be identified
by their use of terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,”
“will,” and other similar terms. Forward-looking statements are subject
to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual
results to materially differ from those described in the forward-looking
statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Such statements are made as of the date hereof, and we
undertake no obligation to update such statements after this date.

Risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to
materially differ from those described in forward-looking statements
include those discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (including those described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015) and the following:

  • our determination, based on guidance from the FDA, whether to proceed
    with or without a partner with the fully enrolled phase 3 trial of
    PV-10 to treat locally advanced cutaneous melanoma and the costs
    associated with such a trial if it is necessary to complete (versus
    interim data alone);
  • our determination whether to license PV-10, our investigational drug
    product for melanoma and other solid tumors such as cancers of the
    liver, if such licensure is appropriate considering the timing and
    structure of such a license, or to commercialize PV-10 on our own to
    treat melanoma and other solid tumors such as cancers of the liver;
  • our ability to license PH-10, our investigational drug product for
    dermatology, on the basis of our phase 2 atopic dermatitis and
    psoriasis results, which are in the process of being further developed
    in conjunction with mechanism of action studies; and
  • our ability to raise additional capital if we determine to
    commercialize PV-10 and/or PH-10 on our own, although our expectation
    is to be acquired by a prospective pharmaceutical or biotech concern
    prior to commercialization.
