Forward Guidance

Lineage anticipates incremental expenses during the remainder of the year related to the early exercise of their option with Cancer Research UK, plans for the development of a prophylactic vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses, and delays caused by COVID-19 to the OpRegen® clinical trial, which will modestly increase their net operational spend for 2020.
