approval, and Proleukin, for which we have obtained FDA and European Medicines Agency ("EMA") approval; the risk that
the EMA or other ex-U.S. regulatory authorities may not approve or may delay approval for our marketing authorization application
submission for lifileucel in metastatic melanoma; the acceptance by the market of our products, including Amtagvi and Proleukin, and
their potential pricing and/or reimbursement by payors, if approved (in the case of our product candidates), in the U.S. and other
international markets and whether such acceptance is sufficient to support continued commercialization or development of our
products, including Amtagvi and Proleukin, or product candidates, respectively; future competitive or other market factors may
adversely affect the commercial potential for Amtagvi or Proleukin; the risk regarding our ability or inability to manufacture our
therapies using third party manufacturers or at our own facility, including our ability to increase manufacturing capacity at such
third party manufacturers and our own facility, may adversely affect our commercial launch; the results of clinical trials with
collaborators using different manufacturing processes may not be reflected in our sponsored trials; the risk regarding the
successful integration of the recent Proleukin acquisition; the risk that the successful development or commercialization of our
products, including Amtagvi and Proleukin, may not generate sufficient revenue from product sales, and we may not become profitable
in the near term, or at all; the risks related to the timing of and our ability to successfully develop, submit, obtain, or maintain
FDA, EMA, or other regulatory authority approval of, or other action with respect to, our product candidates; whether clinical trial
results from our pivotal studies and cohorts, and meetings with the FDA, EMA, or other regulatory authorities may support
registrational studies and subsequent approvals by the FDA, EMA, or other regulatory authorities, including the risk that the
planned single arm Phase 2 IOV-LUN-202 trial may not support registration; preliminary and interim clinical results, which may
include efficacy and safety results, from ongoing clinical trials or cohorts may not be reflected in the final analyses of our
ongoing clinical trials or subgroups within these trials or in other prior trials or cohorts; the risk that enrollment may need to
be adjusted for our trials and cohorts within those trials based on FDA and other regulatory agency input; the risk that the
changing landscape of care for cervical cancer patients may impact our clinical trials in this indication; the risk that we may be
required to conduct additional clinical trials or modify ongoing or future clinical trials based on feedback from the FDA, EMA, or
other regulatory authorities; the risk that our interpretation of the results of our clinical trials or communications with the FDA,
EMA, or other regulatory authorities may differ from the interpretation of such results or communications by such regulatory
authorities (including from our prior meetings with the FDA regarding our non-small cell lung cancer clinical trials); the risk that
clinical data from ongoing clinical trials of Amtagvi will not continue or be repeated in ongoing or planned clinical trials or may
not support regulatory approval or renewal of authorization; the risk that unanticipated expenses may decrease our estimated cash
balances and forecasts and increase our estimated capital requirements; the risk that we may not be able to recognize revenue for
our products; the risk that Proleukin revenues may not continue to serve as a leading indicator for Amtagvi revenues; the risks
