Forward-looking statements can be identified by words like "may," "will," "likely," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "future," "plan," "believe," "intend," "goal," "seek," "estimate," "project," "continue," and variations of such words and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, assumptions, and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks related to: the ability of the parties to consummate the contemplated transaction in a timely manner or at all; the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing the contemplated transaction, including the failure to obtain antitrust or other regulatory approvals and clearances or approval of Axonics' stockholders; potential delays in consummating the contemplated transaction; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to termination of the merger agreement for the contemplated transaction; the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the contemplated transaction; the ability to successfully integrate the businesses; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the contemplated transaction on Axonics' business relationships, operating results and business generally; significant transaction costs and unknown liabilities; and litigation or regulatory actions related to the contemplated transaction.
