The presentation is explicitly noted as not being "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and is not subject to the liabilities of that section, nor is it incorporated by reference into other filings except as expressly set forth.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Review the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) for specific details on the "positive top-line results" of the Sepofarsen study.
- Examine the webcast presentation (Exhibit 99.2) for data supporting the clinical efficacy claims, noting its legal status as "furnished" rather than "filed."
- Verify the company's cash runway and financial status in the most recent Form 20-F or quarterly reports, as this filing contains no financial data.
- Confirm the regulatory pathway and next steps for Sepofarsen following the Phase 1/2 results.
