political, economic and regulatory developments may affect Kineta’s ability to profitably commercialize its product candidates, if approved. In addition to continuing pressure on prices and cost containment measures, legislative developments at the EU, UK or at an EU Member State level may result in significant additional requirements or obstacles that may increase Kineta’s operating costs. The delivery of healthcare in the EU and the UK, including the establishment and operation of health services and the pricing and reimbursement of medicines, is almost exclusively a matter for national, rather than EU, law and policy. National governments and health service providers have different priorities and approaches to the delivery of health care and the pricing and reimbursement of products in that context. In general, however, the healthcare budgetary constraints in most EU Member States and the UK have resulted in restrictions on the pricing and reimbursement of medicines by relevant health service providers. Coupled with ever-increasing EU and national regulatory burdens on those wishing to develop and market products in these countries, this could prevent or delay marketing approval of Kineta’s product candidates, restrict or regulate post-approval activities and affect Kineta’s ability to commercialize its product candidates, if approved.

Kineta cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action in the U.S., the EU, UK or any other jurisdiction. If Kineta, or any third parties Kineta may engage, are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if Kineta or such third parties are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, Kineta’s product candidates may lose any regulatory approval that may have been obtained and Kineta may not achieve or sustain profitability.

If the regulatory authorities in such jurisdictions set prices or make reimbursement criteria that are not commercially attractive for Kineta or its collaborators, Kineta’s revenues and the potential profitability of Kineta’s products in those countries would be negatively affected.

If approved, Kineta’s product candidates that are licensed and regulated as biological products, or biologics, may face competition from biosimilars approved through an abbreviated regulatory pathway.

The Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (the “BPCIA”) was enacted as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “ACA”), to establish an abbreviated pathway for the approval of biosimilar and interchangeable with an FDA
