Certain statements in this presentation are “forward-looking statements. Any statements that express or involve discussions
with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or
performance (often, but not always using words or phrases such as “expect”, “seek”, “endeavour”, “anticipate”, “plan”,
“estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, or stating that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or will occur or be
taken, or achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward-looking statements”.
Forward-looking statements are based on expectations, estimates and projections at the time the statements are made that
involve a number of risks and uncertainties which would cause actual results or events to differ materially from those
presently anticipated. Forward-looking statements are based on expectations, estimates and projections at the time the
statements are made and involve significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. A number of
factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These include, but are
not limited to, the risk factors discussed in the public filings made by Medicenna with the applicable securities commissions
in Canada, including the Annual Information Form dated June 15, 2017. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results, performance
or achievements could vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this
document. These factors should be considered carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements.
Although the forward-looking statements contained in this document are based upon what Medicenna currently believes to
be reasonable assumptions, Medicenna cannot assure prospective investors that actual results, performance or
achievements will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, Medicenna does not
have any obligation to advise any person if it becomes aware of any inaccuracy in or omission from any forward-looking
statement, nor does it intend, or assume any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new
events or circumstances.
