FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,”
“will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “future,” “outlook,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other similar
expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. The forward-looking statements in this presentation relate to, among other things, statements regarding the PDUFA goal date for EPSOLAY, approval and commercial
launch of EPSOLAY and TWYNEO, anticipated timing of results of the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of SGT-210, the expectation to launch a partnered generic drug starting in the second quarter of 2021, our expectations regarding our liquidity
and ability to fund operational and capital expenditure requirements, and estimated sales of our product candidates. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important
factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the
following: risks relating to the acceptance of the NDA for TWYNEO and risks relating to the timing of the PDFUA action date for EPSOLAY; the fact that we have and expect to continue to incur significant losses; our need for additional
funding, which may not be available; our ability to complete the development of, and obtain marketing approval for, our product candidates; our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for our product candidates in our target
markets and the possibility of adverse regulatory or legal actions relating to our product candidates even if regulatory approval is obtained; our ability to commercialize and launch our product candidates; our ability to obtain and maintain
adequate protection of our intellectual property; our ability to manufacture our product candidates in commercial quantities, at an adequate quality or at an acceptable cost; our ability to establish adequate sales, marketing, and
distribution channels; acceptance of our product candidates by healthcare professionals and patients; the possibility that we may face third-party claims of intellectual property infringement; the timing and results of clinical trials that we
may conduct or that our competitors and others may conduct relating to our or their products; intense competition in our industry; potential product liability claims; potential adverse federal, state, and local government regulation in the
United States, Europe, or Israel; the impact of pandemics, such as COVID-19 (coronavirus); and loss or retirement of key executives and research scientists. These and other important factors discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form
20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 24, 2020, and our other reports filed with the SEC could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this
presentation. Any such forward-looking statements represent management’s estimates as of the date of this presentation. While we may elect to update such forward-looking statements at some point in the future, unless required by applicable
law, we disclaim any obligation to do so, even if subsequent events cause our views to change. Thus, one should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. This presentation contains trademarks, trade names, and service marks of other
companies, which are the property of their respective owners. We do not intend our use or display of other parties' trademarks, trade names, or service marks to imply, and such use or display should not be construed to imply, a relationship
