Statements on this website may contain information about the future plans and prospects of Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (the “Company” or “Anavex”) and its representatives that constitute forward-looking statements for the purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by introductory words such as “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “will,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “projects,” or words of similar meaning, and by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements frequently are used in discussing potential product applications, potential collaborations, product development activities, clinical studies, regulatory submissions and approvals, and similar operating matters. Actual events or results may differ materially from those projected in any of such forward-looking statements due to various factors, some of which are known and others of which are not. Known risks and uncertainties include those identified from time to time in Anavex’s filings and furnishing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which should be considered together with any forward-looking statement. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results or events, and one should avoid placing undue reliance on such statements. Anavex Life Sciences Corp. undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by law. Anavex cannot be sure when or if it will be permitted by regulatory agencies to undertake clinical trials or to commence any particular phase of any clinical trials. Because of this, statements regarding the expected timing of clinical trials cannot be regarded as actual predictions of when Anavex will obtain regulatory approval for any “phase” of clinical trials. We also cannot be sure of the clinical outcome for efficacy or safety of our compounds. Potential investors should refer to the risk factors in our reports filed on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
In addition, any information contained on this website was current as of the date presented and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our estimates change, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise other than as required by law. Consequently, Anavex will not update the information contained on the website and investors should not rely upon the information as current or accurate after the presentation date.
