Biggest changeAny product candidate we advance into clinical trials may not have favorable results in later-stage clinical trials or receive regulatory approval. Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. Our product candidates may cause undesirable side effects or have other properties that could delay or prevent their regulatory approval, limit the commercial profile of an approved label, or result in significant negative consequences following any marketing approval. Failure to follow the FDA’s applicable regulatory requirements may result in enforcement action. Changes in product candidate manufacturing or formulation may result in additional costs or delay. Healthcare legislation, including potentially unfavorable pricing regulations or other healthcare reform initiatives, may increase the difficulty and cost for us to obtain marketing approval of and commercialize our product candidates and affect the prices we may obtain. Our employees may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements, which could cause significant liability for us and harm our reputation. We face substantial competition, which may result in others discovering, developing or commercializing products before or more successfully than we do. If we breach our license agreements or fail to negotiate new agreements pertaining to our product candidates, we could lose the ability to continue the development and potential commercialization of these product candidates. Product liability lawsuits against us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to limit commercialization of any products that we may develop. There is no guarantee that the Merger will increase stockholder value, and stockholders may not realize a benefit from the Merger commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with the Merger, including the issuance of our common stock upon conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred issued in the Merger and the concurrent financing. We expect to incur substantial expenses related to the integration of Trawsfynydd. We may engage in future business combinations or collaborations that could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and harm our financial condition and operating results. We depend on information technology and computer systems to operate our business; our business and operations would suffer in the event of any failures or interruptions of our computer system, such as a data breach or cybersecurity incident. Climate change, environmental, social and governance and sustainability initiatives may result in regulatory or structural industry changes that could require significant operational changes and expenditures, reduce demand for the Company’s products and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 33 Table of Contents Business disruptions could seriously harm our future revenues and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses. Our future success depends on our ability to retain our executive officers and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from international conflicts, international trade disputes and geopolitical tensions. Changes in United States and China relations, as well as relations with other countries, and/or regulations may adversely impact our business, our operating results, our ability to raise capital and the market price of our shares. We currently conduct clinical trials, and may in the future choose to conduct additional clinical trials, of our product candidates in sites outside the US, and the FDA may not accept data from trials conducted in foreign locations. Disruptions at the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities caused by funding shortages, staffing limitations or global health concerns could hinder their ability to hire, retain or deploy key leadership and other personnel, or otherwise prevent new or modified products from being developed, approved or commercialized in a timely manner or at all, which could negatively impact our business. We rely on third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including: timing and success of our clinical trials; continued progress of, and increased spending related to, our research and development activities; conditions in the capital markets and the biopharmaceutical industry, particularly with respect to raising capital or entering into strategic arrangements; 35 Table of Contents progress with preclinical experiments and clinical trials, including regulatory approvals necessary for advancement and continuation of our development programs; changes in regulatory requirements and guidance of the FDA and other regulatory authorities, which may require additional clinical trials to evaluate safety and/or efficacy, and thus have significant impacts on our timelines, cost projections, and financial requirements; ongoing general and administrative expenses related to our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act; cost, timing, and results of regulatory reviews and approvals; costs of any legal proceedings, claims, lawsuits and investigations; success, timing, and financial consequences of any existing or future collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish, including potential granting of licenses to one or more of our programs in various territories, or otherwise monetizing one or more of our programs; cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; costs of commercializing any of our product candidates; technological and market developments; compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements; cost of manufacturing development; and timing and volume of sales of products for which we obtain marketing approval.

Encouraging results in preclinical testing and earlier clinical studies do not ensure that later clinical trials will generate adequate data to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of an investigational drug. Additionally, mechanisms of action, studies in small or single patient populations, and interim study results may not be predictive of later stage studies.
Any product candidate we advance into clinical trials may not have favorable results in later-stage clinical trials or receive regulatory approval. Encouraging results in preclinical testing and earlier clinical studies do not ensure that later clinical trials will generate adequate data to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of an investigational drug.

The size of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future growth of our expenses and our ability to generate revenues. If any of our product candidates fail in clinical trials or do not gain regulatory approval, or if approved, fail to achieve market acceptance, we may never become profitable.
