Forward Looking Statements

Various statements this document are “forward-looking statements” under the securities laws. The words “believe,” “will,” “intend,” and the negative of these or similar terms and phrases are intended to identify forward-looking statements in this document. Although Vanda believes any such statements are based on reasonable assumptions, actual outcomes may differ materially. Any such statements are made in reliance on the “safe harbor” protections provided under the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements in this document should be evaluated together with the various risks and uncertainties that affect Vanda’s business and market, particularly those identified in the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of Vanda’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by Vanda’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the SEC, which are available at www.sec.gov.

All written and verbal forward-looking statements attributable to Vanda or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein. Vanda cautions investors not to rely too heavily on the forward-looking statements Vanda makes or that are made on its behalf. The information in this document is provided only as of the date hereof, and Vanda undertakes no obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
