|
• |
Our limited operating history and the inherent uncertainties and risks involved in biopharmaceutical product development may make it difficult for us to
execute on our business model and for you to assess our future viability. We have not generated significant revenue from our operations since inception, and there is no guarantee that we will do so in the future.
|
• |
We may never achieve or maintain profitability.
|
• |
We will require additional capital to fund our operations, and if we fail to obtain necessary financing, we may not be able to successfully market our
products, acquire or in-license new products or product candidates, complete the development and commercialization of our products and product candidates and continue to pursue our drug discovery efforts.
|
• |
We have limited experience as a commercial company and the marketing and sale of VTAMA® (tapinarof) or any future products may be unsuccessful or less
successful than anticipated.
|
• |
We may not be successful in our efforts to acquire or in-license new product candidates.
|
• |
Our drug discovery efforts may not be successful in identifying new product candidates.
|
• |
We face risks associated with the allocation of capital and personnel across our businesses.
|
• |
We face risks associated with the Vant structure.
|
• |
We face risks associated with potential future payments related to our products and product candidates.
|
• |
We may engage in strategic transactions that could impact our liquidity, increase our expenses and present significant distractions to our management.
|
• |
Clinical trials and preclinical studies are very expensive, time-consuming, difficult to design and implement and involve uncertain outcomes. We may encounter
substantial delays in clinical trials, or may not be able to conduct or complete clinical trials or preclinical studies on the expected timelines, if at all.
|
• |
Certain of our products and product candidates are novel, complex and difficult to manufacture. We could experience manufacturing problems that result in
delays in our development or commercialization programs or otherwise harm our business.
|
• |
We may encounter difficulties enrolling and retaining patients in clinical trials, and clinical development activities could thereby be delayed or otherwise
adversely affected.
|
• |
The results of our preclinical studies and clinical trials may not support our proposed claims for our products or product candidates, or regulatory approvals
on a timely basis or at all, and the results of earlier studies and trials may not be predictive of future trial results.
|
• |
Interim, top-line or preliminary data from our clinical trials that we announce or publish from time to time may change as more patient data become available
and are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data.
|
• |
Obtaining approval of a new drug is an extensive, lengthy, expensive and inherently uncertain process, and the FDA or another regulator may delay, limit or
deny approval. If we are unable to obtain regulatory approval in one or more jurisdictions for any products or product candidates, our business will be substantially harmed.
|
• |
Our clinical trials may fail to demonstrate substantial evidence of the safety and efficacy of product candidates that we may identify and pursue for their
intended uses, which would prevent, delay or limit the scope of regulatory approval and commercialization.
|
• |
Our products and product candidates may cause adverse effects or have other properties that could delay or prevent their regulatory approval, cause us to
suspend or discontinue clinical trials, abandon further development or limit the scope of any approved label or market acceptance.
|
• |
We depend on the knowledge and skills of our senior leaders and may not be able to manage our business effectively if we are unable to attract and retain key
personnel.
|
• |
We will need to expand our organization and may experience difficulties in managing this growth, which could disrupt operations.
|
• |
If we are unable to obtain and maintain patent and other intellectual property protection for our technology, products and product candidates or if the scope
of the intellectual property protection obtained is not sufficiently broad, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets.
|
• |
If the patent applications we hold or have in-licensed with respect to our products or product candidates fail to issue, if their breadth or strength of
protection is threatened, or if they fail to provide meaningful exclusivity for our current and future products or product candidates, it could dissuade companies from collaborating with us to develop product candidates, and threaten our
ability to commercialize our products. Any such outcome could have a materially adverse effect on our business. Our pending patent applications cannot be enforced against third parties practicing the technology claimed in such applications
unless and until a patent issues from such applications.
|
• |
Patent terms and their scope may be inadequate to protect our competitive position on current and future products and product candidates for an adequate amount
of time.
|
• |
If our performance does not meet market expectations, the price of our securities may decline.
|
• |
We have incurred and will continue to incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company and our management has devoted and will continue to
devote a substantial amount of time to new compliance initiatives.
|
• |
Our failure to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse
effect on our business.
|
• |
Anti-takeover provisions in our memorandum of association and bye-laws, as well as provisions of Bermuda law, could delay or prevent a change in control, limit
the price investors may be willing to pay in the future for our Common Shares and could entrench management.
|
• |
Our largest shareholders own a significant percentage of our Common Shares and are able to exert significant control over matters subject to shareholder
approval.
|
• |
Future sales, or the perception of future sales, of our Common Shares by us or our existing shareholders in the public market could cause the market price for
our Common Shares to decline and impact our ability to raise capital in the future.
|
• |
our limited operating history and risks involved in biopharmaceutical product development;
|
• |
our limited experience as a commercial-stage company and ability to successfully commercialize VTAMA® (tapinarof);
|
• |
our ability to raise additional capital to fund our business on acceptable terms or at all;
|
• |
the fact that we will likely incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future;
|
• |
our ability to acquire or in-license new product candidates;
|
• |

|
• |
our Vant structure and the potential that we may fail to capitalize on certain development opportunities;
|
• |
our ability to consummate strategic transactions, including the Roche Transaction (as defined below);
|
• |
the impact of public health outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) on our business (including our clinical trials and preclinical
studies), operations and financial condition and results;
|
• |
clinical trials and preclinical studies, which are very expensive, time-consuming, difficult to design and implement and involve uncertain outcomes;
|
• |
the novelty, complexity and difficulty of manufacturing certain of our products and product candidates, including any manufacturing problems that result in
delays in development or commercialization of our products and product candidates;
|
• |
difficulties we may face in enrolling and retaining patients in clinical trials and/or clinical development activities;
|
• |
the results of our clinical trials not supporting our proposed claims for a product candidate;
|
• |
interim, top-line and/or preliminary data from our clinical trials changing as more data becoming available or data being delayed due to audit and verification
processes;
|
• |
changes in product manufacturing or formulation that could lead to the incurrence of costs or delays;
|
• |
the failure of any third-party we contract with to conduct, supervise and monitor our clinical trials to perform in a satisfactory manner or to comply with
applicable requirements;
|
• |
the fact that obtaining approvals for new drugs is a lengthy, extensive, expensive and unpredictable process that may end with our inability to obtain
regulatory approval by the FDA or other regulatory agencies in other jurisdictions;
|
• |
the failure of our clinical trials to demonstrate substantial evidence of the safety and efficacy of our products and product candidates, including, but not
limited to, scenarios in which our products and product candidates may cause adverse effects that could delay regulatory approval, discontinue clinical trials, limit the scope of approval or generally result in negative media coverage of
us;
|
• |
our inability to obtain regulatory approval for a product or product candidate in certain jurisdictions, even if we are able to obtain approval in certain
other jurisdictions;
|
• |
our ability to effectively manage growth and to attract and retain key personnel;
|
• |
any business, legal, regulatory, political, operational, financial and economic risks associated with conducting business globally;
|
• |
our ability to obtain and maintain patent and other intellectual property protection for our technology, products and product candidates;
|
• |
the inadequacy of patent terms and their scope to protect our competitive position;
|
• |
the failure to issue (or the threatening of their breadth or strength of protection) or provide meaningful exclusivity for our current and future products and
product candidates of our patent applications that we hold or have in-licensed;
|
• |
the fact that we do not currently and may not in the future own or license any issued composition of matter patents covering certain of our products and
product candidates and our inability to be certain that any of our other issued patents will provide adequate protection for such products and product candidates;
|
• |
the fact that our largest shareholders own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to
shareholder approval;
|
• |
future sales of securities by us or our largest shareholders, or the perception of such sales, and the impact thereof on the price of our common shares;
|
• |
the outcome of any pending or potential litigation, including but not limited to our expectations regarding the outcome of any such litigation and costs and
expenses associated with such litigation;
|
• |
changes in applicable laws or regulations;
|
• |
the possibility that we may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; and
|
• |
any other risks and uncertainties, including those described under Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”
