Forward-Looking Statement

This press release includes forward-looking statements. All statements,
other than statements of historical facts, regarding management’s
expectations, beliefs, goals, plans or prospects should be considered
forward-looking. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially, including: the
ability to realize the benefits anticipated from the Biotie and Civitas
transactions, among other reasons because acquired development programs
are generally subject to all the risks inherent in the drug development
process and our knowledge of the risks specifically relevant to acquired
programs generally improves over time; the ability to successfully
integrate Biotie’s operations into our operations; we may need to raise
additional funds to finance our operations and may not be able to do so
on acceptable terms; our ability to successfully market and sell Ampyra
(dalfampridine) Extended Release Tablets, 10 mg in the U.S., which will
likely be materially adversely affected by the recently announced court
decision in our litigation against filers of Abbreviated New Drug
Applications to market generic versions of Ampyra in the U.S.; the risk
of unfavorable results from future studies of Inbrija (CVT-301, levodopa
inhalation powder), tozadenant or from our other research and
development programs, or any other acquired or in-licensed programs; we
may not be able to complete development of, obtain regulatory approval
for, or successfully market Inbrija, tozadenant, or any other products
under development; third party payers (including governmental agencies)
may not reimburse for the use of Ampyra, Inbrija or our other products
at acceptable rates or at all and may impose restrictive prior
authorization requirements that limit or block prescriptions; the
occurrence of adverse safety events with our products; failure to
maintain regulatory approval of or to successfully market Fampyra
outside of the U.S. and our dependence on our collaborator Biogen in
connection therewith; competition; failure to protect our intellectual
property, to defend against the intellectual property claims of others
or to obtain third party intellectual property licenses needed for the
commercialization of our products; and failure to comply with regulatory
requirements could result in adverse action by regulatory agencies.

These and other risks are described in greater detail in our filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We may not actually achieve
the goals or plans described in our forward-looking statements, and
investors should not place undue reliance on these statements.
Forward-looking statements made in this press release are made only as
of the date hereof, and we disclaim any intent or obligation to update
any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring
after the date of this press release.
