Theravance’s March 30, 2005 presentation at the Lehman Brothers Eighth Annual Global Healthcare Conference will contain certain “forward-looking” statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding, among other things, statements relating to goals, plans, objectives and future events. Examples of such statements include statements relating to the expected timing, scope and results of clinical and preclinical studies, statements regarding the potential benefits and mechanisms of action of drug candidates and the enabling capabilities of proprietary insights. These statements will be based on the current estimates and assumptions of the management of Theravance as of the date of the presentation and are naturally subject to risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results of Theravance to be materially different from those reflected in its forward- looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by its forward-looking statements include, among others, risks related to delays or difficulties in commencing or completing clinical and preclinical studies, the potential that results of clinical or preclinical studies indicate product candidates are unsafe, ineffective, inferior or not superior, and delays or failure to achieve regulatory approvals. These and other risks are described in greater detail under the heading “Factors Affecting Results, Including Risks and Uncertainties” contained in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Theravance’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 29, 2005 and the risks discussed in our other filings with the SEC. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward- looking statements. Theravance assumes no obligation to update its forward- looking statements.
