These forward-looking statements include: the timing of commercial launch of ZELSUVMI; and the potential market size of patients who can be treated with ZELSUVMI.  Actual events or results may differ from Ligand&#8217;s expectations due to risks and uncertainties inherent in Ligand&#8217;s business, including, without limitation: the risk that Ligand may not commercially launch ZELSUVMI in the second half of 2024 or at all; Ligand may not be able to successfully commercialize ZELSUVMI which will depend on a number of factors including coverage and reimbursement levels from governmental authorities and health insurers as well as market acceptance by healthcare providers; the market size for ZELSUVMI may be smaller than estimated; Ligand&#8217;s dependence on third parties in connection with product manufacturing and distribution of ZELSUVMI; Ligand may not be able to protect its intellectual property and patents covering ZELSUVMI which may be challenged or invalidated; and other risks described in Ligand&#8217;s prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission available at www.sec.gov.
