Forward-Looking Statements To the extent that statements contained in this press release are not descriptions of historical facts regarding Codexis, they are forward-looking statements reflecting the current beliefs and expectations of management made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including Codexis? expectations regarding the prospects for the development and future commercialization by Takeda of novel gene therapies for specified target indications. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond Codexis? control and that could materially affect actual results. Factors that could materially affect actual results include, among others: Codexis? dependence on its licensees and collaborators; the regulatory approval processes of the FDA and comparable foreign authorities are lengthy, time consuming and inherently unpredictable; results of preclinical studies and early clinical trials of product candidates may not be predictive of results of later studies or trials; even if we or our collaborators obtain regulatory approval for any products that are developed during a collaboration, such products will remain subject to ongoing regulatory requirements, which may result in significant additional expense; and there may be potential adverse effects to Codexis? business if our collaborators? products are not received well in the markets. Additional information about factors that could materially affect actual results can be found in Codexis? Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (?SEC?) on March 1, 2021 and in Codexis? Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 7, 2021, including under the caption ?Risk Factors? and in Codexis? other periodic reports filed with the SEC.
