benefits of the proposed transaction, including with respect to the potential for additional data for DANYELZA® (naxitamab-gqgk),
the potential expansion of partnerships to additional oncology centers, the ability to have a positive impact on the lives of more neuroblastoma
patients and their families and SERB Pharmaceuticals’ ability to leverage its existing global footprint and its medical, regulatory,
and commercial expertise to expand the reach of DANYELZA to new markets; and other statements that are not historical facts. The forward-looking
statements contained in this announcement are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties

that competing offers or acquisition proposals will be made; the possibility that various closing conditions for the transaction may not
be satisfied or waived, including that a governmental entity may prohibit, delay, or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of
the transaction (or only grant approval subject to adverse conditions or limitations); the difficulty of predicting the timing or outcome
of regulatory approvals or actions, if any; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination
of the Merger Agreement; the possibility that the transaction does not close; risks related to the parties’ ability to realize the
anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, including the possibility that the expected benefits from the proposed acquisition will
not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period and that the Company and SERB Pharmaceuticals will not be integrated
successfully or that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the effects of the transaction on
relationships with employees, customers, suppliers, other business partners or governmental entities; negative effects of the announcement
of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, or the consummation of the proposed transaction on the market price
of the Company’s common stock and/or the Company’s operating results; significant transaction costs; unknown or inestimable
liabilities; the risk of litigation and/or regulatory actions related to the proposed transaction; SERB Pharmaceuticals’ ability
to fund the proposed transaction; obtaining and maintaining adequate coverage and reimbursement for products; the time-consuming and uncertain
regulatory approval process; the costly and time-consuming pharmaceutical product development process and the uncertainty of clinical
success, including risks related to failure or delays in successfully initiating or completing clinical trials and assessing patients;
global economic, financial, and healthcare system disruptions and the current and potential future negative impacts to the parties’
business operations and financial results; the sufficiency of the parties’ cash flows and capital resources; the parties’
ability to achieve targeted or expected future financial performance and results and the uncertainty of future tax, accounting and other
provisions and estimates; and other risks and uncertainties affecting the Company and SERB Pharmaceuticals, including those described
