proposal to authorize 60 Degree Pharma's board of directors (the "Board"), in its sole and absolute discretion, to

to expand our business operations; we may not be able to successfully conduct planned clinical trials or patient recruitment in our trials
might be slow or negligible; and we have no manufacturing capacity which puts us at risk of lengthy and costly delays of bringing our
products to market. More detailed information about the Company and the risk factors that may affect the realization of forward-looking
