This presentation and accompanying oral commentary contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “target,” "goal," “estimate” and similar expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions or circumstances) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on Harpoon's expectations and assumptions as of the date of this presentation. Each of these forward-looking statements involves risks and uncertainties that could cause Harpoon's clinical development programs, future results or performance to differ significantly from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation and accompanying oral commentary include, but are not limited to, statements about the progress, timing, scope, design and anticipated results of clinical trials, the timing of the presentation of data, the association of data with potential treatment outcomes, the development and advancement of platforms and product candidates, the timing of development milestones for platforms and product candidates and Harpoon’s cash sufficiency and runway. Many factors may cause differences between current expectations and actual results, including unexpected safety or efficacy data observed during clinical studies, clinical trial site activation or enrollment rates that are lower than expected, changes in expected or existing competition, our ability to enter into strategic arrangements and collaborations and uncertainties in the success of such arrangements, changes in the regulatory environment, the uncertainties and timing of the regulatory approval process, the risk that initial or interim results from a clinical trial may not be predictive of the final results of the trial or the results of future trials, the risk that trials may be delayed and may not have satisfactory outcomes, and unexpected litigation or other disputes that impede clinical trial progress. Other factors that may cause Harpoon's actual results to differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements in this presentation and accompanying oral commentary are discussed in Harpoon's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) including under “Risk Factors” in Harpoon Therapeutics’ quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on August 9, 2023 and our other filings from time to time. Except as required by law, Harpoon assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in expectations, even as new information becomes available. Certain information contained in this presentation and statements made orally during this presentation relate to or are based on studies, publications, surveys and other data obtained from third-party sources and Harpoon’s own internal estimates and research.
