All statements that are not historical facts are hereby identified as forward-looking statements for this purpose and include, among others, statements relating to: our expectations regarding the timing and clinical development of FCX-007, including our plans to initiate a Phase 3 clinical trial for FCX-007 in July 2019; the Phase 3 trial design for FCX-007 and our expectation to enroll 15-20 patients therein; our projection to complete enrollment and dosing of Phase 3 patients for FCX-007 in the third quarter of 2020 and complete data collection for the primary endpoint in the fourth quarter of 2020; our expectation to file a BLA for FCX-007 in 2021; the potential benefits of the collaboration between us and Castle Creek Pharmaceuticals; our potential to earn future milestone and profit share payments under the agreement with Castle Creek Pharmaceuticals; the timing of our Phase 1/2 clinical trial of FCX-013, including our expectation to complete enrollment of Phase 1 adult patients in the third quarter of 2019; our projection that safety and efficacy data from adult patients in the Phase 1 portion of the clinical trial of FCX-013 will be available in mid-2020; the potential advantages of our product candidates; the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents and other potential cash resources to fund operations in the third quarter of 2020; and all other statements relating to our future operations, future financial performance, future financial condition, prospects or other future events. Forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and assumptions and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied by such statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, among others: uncertainties and delays relating to the initiation, enrollment and completion of clinical trials; whether clinical trial results will validate and support the safety and efficacy of our product candidates; unanticipated or excess costs relating to the development of our gene therapy product candidates; the ability of Fibrocell and Castle Creek Pharmaceuticals to meet objectives tied to milestones and profit share payments; our ability to obtain additional capital to continue to fund operations; our ability to maintain our collaborations with Intrexon and Castle Creek Pharmaceuticals; Castle Creek Pharmaceuticals’ ability to successfully commercialize FCX-007, if approved; and the other factors discussed under the caption “Item 1A.
