We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “initiate,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “potentially,” “preliminary,” “likely,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements include express or implied statements relating to, among other things: expectations regarding the Transaction, including the anticipated closing timing.

 

Forward-looking statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including, without limitation, (i) the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the SPA (collectively, the “Proposed Transactions”) may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, including the risk that any required shareholder approvals are not obtained; (ii) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transactions; (iii) the possibility that any or all of the various conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Transactions may not be satisfied or waived; (iv) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the SPA; and (v) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Proposed Transactions on atai’s ability to retain and hire key personnel, or its operating results and business generally and other important factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and our Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) that was filed with the SEC on September 24, 2025, in each case, as such factors may be updated from time to time in atai’s other filings with the SEC.
