Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for the forward-looking statements contained herein, they are based on current expectations about future events affecting us and are subject to risks, assumptions, uncertainties and factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this press release.

Specifically, this press release contains forward-looking statements concerning the anticipated progress, development, objectives, expectations, and commercial potential of NexoBrid and EscharEx. Among the factors that may cause results to be materially different from those stated herein are the inherent uncertainties associated with the timing and conduct of clinical trial and product development activities; the timing or likelihood of regulatory approvals; timeline of the 12- and 24-month top-line data in the CIDS;the ability to successfully develop and commercialize NexoBrid, including its commercial growth potential and the market demand for the product; the availability of funding from BARDA under its agreement withMediWoundfor use in connection with NexoBrid development activities; the timing of the NexoBrid delivery to BARDA, expected payments under the license agreement withVericel Corporation; competitive developments; whether FDA will accept all or part of the BLA and provide marketing approval for NexoBrid inthe United States; the risks related to the timing and conduct of NEXT Study; the ability to successfully develop and commercialize EscharEx, the design of the Phase 2 study, the timing of the interim assessment,the impact of applicable laws and regulations; and theuncertainties associated with the scope, scale and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, we areunable to predict how the pandemic will affect the overall healthcare infrastructure, including the pace with which governmental agencies, such as the FDA, will review and approve regulatory submissions, its ability to monitor our clinical trials, and/or conduct necessary reviews or inspections any or all of which may result in timelines being materially delayed, which could affect the development and ultimate commercialization of NexoBrid and EscharEx. Additional government-imposed quarantines and requirements to shelter at home or other incremental mitigation efforts also may impact our ability to source supplies for our operations or our ability or capacity to manufacture, sell and support the use of NexoBrid in the future.
