FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including statements relating to SIGA's future business development and plans including with respect to securing new contracts and the timing of delivery of ordered oral TPOXX
courses. The words or phrases "can be," "expects," "may affect," "may depend," "believes," "estimate," "will", "project" and similar words and phrases are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are
subject to various known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and SIGA cautions you that any forward-looking information provided by or on behalf of SIGA is not a guarantee of future performance. SIGA's actual results could differ materially
from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, some of which are beyond SIGA's control, including, but not limited to, (i) the risk that BARDA elects, in its sole discretion as permitted under the 75A50118C00019 BARDA Contract (the "BARDA Contract"), not to exercise the remaining unexercised option under the BARDA Contract, (ii) the risk that SIGA
may not complete performance under the BARDA Contract on schedule or in accordance with contractual terms, (iii) the risk that the BARDA Contract or U.S. Department of Defense contracts are modified or canceled at the request or requirement
of, or SIGA is not able to enter into new contracts to supply TPOXX to, the U.S. Government, (iv) the risk that the nascent international biodefense market does not develop to a degree that allows SIGA to continue to successfully market TPOXX
internationally, (v) the risk that potential products, including potential alternative uses or formulations of TPOXX that appear promising to SIGA or its collaborators, cannot be shown to be efficacious or safe in subsequent pre-clinical or
clinical trials, (vi) the risk that target timing for deliveries of product to customers, and the recognition of related revenues, are delayed or adversely impacted by the actions, or inaction, of contract manufacturing organizations, or
other vendors, within the supply chain, or due to coordination activities between the customer and supply chain vendors, (vii) the risk that SIGA or its collaborators will not obtain appropriate or necessary governmental approvals to market
these or other potential products or uses, (viii) the risk that SIGA may not be able to secure or enforce sufficient legal rights in its products, including intellectual property protection, (ix) the risk that any challenge to SIGA's patent
and other property rights, if adversely determined, could affect SIGA's business and, even if determined favorably, could be costly, (x) the risk that regulatory requirements applicable to SIGA's products may result in the need for further or
additional testing or documentation that will delay or prevent SIGA from seeking or obtaining needed approvals to market these products, (xi) the risk that the volatile and competitive nature of the biotechnology industry may hamper SIGA's
efforts to develop or market its products, (xii) the risk that changes in domestic or foreign economic and market conditions may affect SIGA's ability to advance its research or may affect its products adversely, (xiii) the effect of federal,
state, and foreign regulation, including drug regulation and international trade regulation, on SIGA's businesses, (xiv) the risk of disruptions to SIGA's supply chain for the manufacture of TPOXX , causing delays in SIGA's research and
development activities, causing delays or the re-allocation of funding in connection with SIGA's government contracts, or diverting the attention of government staff overseeing SIGA's government contracts, (xv) risks associated with actions
or uncertainties surrounding the debt ceiling, (xvi) the risk that the U.S. or foreign governments' responses (including inaction) to national or global economic conditions or infectious diseases, are ineffective and may adversely affect
SIGA's business, and (xvii) risks associated with responding to an mpox outbreak, as well as the risks and uncertainties included in Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and SIGA's
subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. SIGA urges investors and security holders to read those documents free of charge at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. All such forward-looking statements are
