(“GlycoMimetics,” “we,” “us,” or<br>“our”). Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation may include, but are not limited to: (i) the expected or projected timing of events and data readout from ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials of uproleselan; (ii) the planned or potential clinical<br>development and potential indications, benefits and impact of our drug candidates, including uproleselan; (iii) the timing of receipt of<br>clinical data; (iv) the potential safety, efficacy or clinical utility of our drug candidates; (v) the size of patient populations targeted by drug candidates we or our collaborators develop, and market adoption of our potential drug candidates by payors, physicians and<br>patients; (vi) the likelihood and timing of regulatory filings, approvals or other anticipated interactions with regulatory authorities; (vii)<br>our business and product development strategies, including our cash needs and expected cash runway; and (viii) any other statement containing terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “intends,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.<br>• Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our<br>industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those discussed, implied or otherwise anticipated by such statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date of this presentation. Examples of risks, uncertainties and factors that may cause differences<br>between our expectations and actual results include unexpected safety or efficacy data, unexpected side effects observed during preclinical studies or in clinical trials, lower than expected enrollment rates in clinical trials, whether results of early clinical trials will be indicative of results from later clinical trials, changes in expected or existing competition or additional market research that may cause our expectations about market opportunity to change, changes in the regulatory environment for our drug candidates, failure<br>of our collaborators to support or advance our collaborations or drug candidates, our need for future capital, the inability to adequately protect our intellectual property, and becoming a party to litigation or other disputes. For a further description of the risks<br>associated with forward-looking statements, as well as other risks facing GlycoMimetics, please see the risk factors described in the<br>Company’sAnnual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2022, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 9, 2022, and other reports we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including those factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in such filings.
