Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes
forward-looking statements about the Company’s business and development
plans for the AUGMENT treatment and its two fertility treatments in
development. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated

providing the AUGMENT treatment for commercial or other reasons; our
expectation that the AUGMENT treatment and OvaPrime treatment meet the
requirements of a class of products exempt from premarket review and
approval under applicable regulations in those countries where we have
launched or plan to introduce the AUGMENT treatment and plan to
introduce the OvaPrime treatment; the science underlying our treatment
and treatments in development (including the AUGMENT, OvaPrime and
OvaTure treatments), which is unproven; our ability to obtain regulatory
approval where necessary for our potential treatments; our ability to
develop our potential treatments, including the OvaPrime and OvaTure
treatments, on the timelines we expect, if at all; our ability to
