Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of important risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond AlloVir’s and Kalaris’ control. Actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to (i) the risk that the conditions to the closing are not satisfied, including the failure to timely obtain stockholder approval for the proposed merger from both AlloVir’s and Kalaris’ stockholders, if at all; (ii) uncertainties as to the timing of the consummation of the proposed merger and the ability of each of AlloVir and Kalaris to consummate the proposed merger; (iii) risks related to AlloVir’s continued listing on Nasdaq until closing of the proposed merger; (iv) risks related to AlloVir’s and Kalaris’ ability to manage their operating expenses and their expenses associated with the proposed merger pending the closing, as well as uncertainties regarding the impact any delay in the closing would have on the anticipated cash resources of the combined company upon closing and other events and unanticipated spending and costs that could reduce the combined company’s cash resources; (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; (vi) risks related to the failure or delay in obtaining required approvals from any governmental or quasi-governmental entity necessary to consummate the proposed merger; (vii) the risk that as a result of adjustments to the exchange ratio, AlloVir stockholders and Kalaris stockholders could own more or less of the combined company than is currently anticipated; (viii) risks related to the market price of AlloVir’s common stock relative to the value suggested by the exchange ratio; (ix) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed merger; (x) competitive responses to the proposed merger; (xi) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed merger; (xii) the uncertainties associated with Kalaris’ product candidates, as well as risks associated with the clinical development and regulatory approval of product candidates, including potential delays in the completion of clinical trials; (xiii) risks related to the inability of the combined company to obtain sufficient additional capital to continue to advance these product candidates; (xiv) uncertainties in obtaining successful clinical results for product candidates and unexpected costs that may result therefrom; (xv) risks related to the failure to realize any value from product candidates being developed and anticipated to be developed in light of inherent risks and difficulties involved in successfully bringing product candidates to market; (xvi) the ability to obtain, maintain, and protect intellectual property rights related to product candidates; (xvii) changes in regulatory requirements and government incentives; (xviii) competition; (xix) risks associated with the possible failure to realize, or that it may take longer to realize than expected, certain anticipated benefits of the proposed merger, including with respect to future financial and operating results; (xx) the risk of involvement in litigation, including securities class action litigation, that could divert the attention of the management of AlloVir or the combined company, harm the combined company’s business and may not be sufficient for insurance coverage to cover all costs and damages; and (xxi) the risk that any bridge financing is not consummated prior to the closing, among others. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties.
