2 Forward-looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, which are often indicated by terms such as anticipate, believe, could, estimate, expect, goal, intend, look forward to, may, plan, potential, predict, project, should, "will, would and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information available to management only as of the date of this presentation. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the development of our gene therapies, the success of our collaborations, and the risk of cessation, delay or lack of success of any of our ongoing or planned clinical studies and/or development of our product candidates. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, without limitation, risks associated with collaboration arrangements, our and our collaborators clinical development activities, regulatory oversight, development of product candidates, product commercialization and intellectual property claims, as well as the risks, uncertainties and other factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" in uniqure s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 6, Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
