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 and Civitas’ operations, respectively,
into our operations; we may need to raise additional funds to finance
our expanded 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.; third party
payers (including governmental agencies) may not reimburse for the use
of Ampyra or our other products at acceptable rates or at all and may
impose restrictive prior authorization requirements that limit or block
prescriptions; the risk of unfavorable results from future studies of
Ampyra or from our other research and development programs, including
CVT-301 or any other acquired or in-licensed programs; we may not be
able to complete development of, obtain regulatory approval for, or
successfully market CVT-301, any other products under development, or
the products that we acquired with the Biotie transaction; the
occurrence of adverse safety events with our products; delays in
obtaining or failure to obtain and 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.
