This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including
statements relating to the scheduled presentation of an overview of the
Company at the 8th Annual Needham Life Sciences Conference on June 10,
2009, and the Goldman Sachs 30th Annual Global Healthcare Conference on
June 11, 2009. These "forward-looking statements" are based on management's
current expectations of future events and are subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and
adversely from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the risk
that we may be unable to further identify, develop and achieve commercial
success for new products and technologies; the risk that we may be unable
to discover drugs that are safer and more efficacious than our competitors;
the risk that we may be unable to develop and maintain manufacturing or
laboratory processing capabilities for our products; the risk that sales of
our existing molecular diagnostic products may decline or not continue to
increase at historical rates; the risk that we may be unable to develop
additional molecular diagnostic products that help assess which patients
are subject to greater risk of developing diseases and who would therefore
benefit from new preventive therapies; the possibility of delays in the
research and development necessary to select drug development candidates
and delays in clinical trials; the risk that clinical trials may not result
in marketable products; the risk that we may be unable to successfully
finance and secure regulatory approval of and market our drug candidates,
or that clinical trials will not be completed on the timelines we have
estimated; uncertainties about our ability to obtain new corporate
collaborations and acquire new technologies on satisfactory terms, if at
all; the development of competing products and services; the risk that we
may be unable to protect our proprietary technologies; the risk of
patent-infringement claims; risks of new, changing and competitive
technologies and regulations in the United States and internationally; and
other factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" contained in Item
1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008,
which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well
as any updates to those risk factors filed from time to time in our
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K. All
information in this press release is as of the date of the release, and
Myriad undertakes no duty to update this information unless required by
law.
