 other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. Any further trade restrictions, retaliatory trade measures and additional tariffs could result in higher input costs to our investigational candidates. We may not be able to fully mitigate the impact of these increased costs, which could adversely impact our business. While tariffs and other trade measures imposed by other countries on U.S. goods have not yet had a significant impact on our business or results of operations, we cannot predict further developments, and such existing or future tariffs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock, so any returns will be limited to the value of our stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. In addition, future debt or other financing arrangements may contain terms prohibiting or limiting the amount of dividends that may be declared or paid on our Common Stock.

We may take advantage of these exemptions until the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of the consummation of our Initial Public Offering or until
