Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and forward looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws in Canada, (collectively referred to as "forward-looking statements"). Statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements and include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's strategy, future operations, timing and completion of clinical trials, prospects and plans and objectives of management. The words "anticipates", "believes", "budgets", "could", "estimates", "expects", "forecasts", "intends", "may", "might", "plans", "projects", "schedule", "should", "will", "would" and similar expressions are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, which include underlying assumptions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other things contemplated by the forward-looking statements will not occur. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements as a number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the beliefs, outlooks, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. Although our management believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is significant risk that the forward-looking statements may not be achieved, and the underlying assumptions thereto will not prove to be accurate. With respect to the forward-looking statements contained in this press release, the Company has made numerous assumptions regarding, among other things: our expectation that shareholders will approve the adoption of the 2006 AnorMED Incentive Stock Option Plan; our ability to develop and obtain regulatory approval for MOZOBIL in stem cell transplant indications and any future product candidates in our targeted indications; our ability to pay for the costs of launching MOZOBIL for stem cell transplant indications and the costs of future products in our targeted indications; our ability to rely on third parties for the continued supply and manufacture of MOZOBIL; our ability to obtain patents and other intellectual property for our drug candidates; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and to not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others; our ability to raise substantial additional financing required to fund further research and development, conduct planned preclinical and clinical studies, and obtain regulatory approvals; and our expectation that we will be able to obtain future equity financing on commercially acceptable financial terms, or at all. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements, including the underlying assumptions thereto, as a result of numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors including: shareholders might not approve the adoption of the 2006 AnorMED Incentive Stock Option Plan; we may not be able to develop and obtain regulatory approval for MOZOBIL in stem cell transplant indications and any future product candidates in our targeted indications; we may not be able to establish marketing and sales capabilities and the costs of launching MOZOBIL stem cell transplant indications and any future products in our targeted indications may be greater than anticipated; we rely on third parties for the continued supply and manufacture of MOZOBIL; we may face unknown risks related to intellectual property matters; we may face competition from other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies; we will require substantial additional financing to fund further research and development, conduct planned preclinical and clinical studies, and obtain regulatory approvals; and we may not be able to obtain future equity financing on commercially acceptable financial terms, or at all. Although we have attempted to identify the forward-looking statements, the underlying assumptions, and the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actual results or events to differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date hereof, except as may be required by law.
