business which are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities

things, the use of forward-looking language, such as “anticipate”, “believe”,
“could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan”, “potential”, and may
describe opinions about future events. These forward-looking statements are
based on the current expectations of the management of Pluri only, and are

sufficient; our products may harm recipients; changes in legislation; inability
to timely develop and introduce new technologies, products and applications;
