Executive Summary
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, or Forward-Looking Statement Safe Harbor disclaimer as it is better known, advises investors that under such a disclaimer, companies can make financial projections and statements on clinical trial success or approval for their drugs, without fear of repercussion if those statements fail to be true. Additionally, having promised the moon, companies are under no obligation to update investors if they fail to deliver whatever promises were previously made under the Safe Harbor disclaimer.
