On March 21, 2023, Coya Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) will host a conference call to present clinical data of the Company’s proprietary investigational biologic combination, COYA 302, in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (“ALS”).

Forward-Looking Statements

This report, including Exhibit 99.1 furnished herewith, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate” and similar words, and the opposites of such words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that exist in the Company’s operations and business environment, which may be beyond the Company’s control, and which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward- looking statements. For example, forward-looking statements include, without limitation: statements pertaining to Coya Therapeutics, Inc.’s expectations regarding future financial and/or operating results, the efficacy of our drug screening and discovery process, potential for our services, future revenues or growth and plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations or transactions. The risks and uncertainties referred to above include, but are not limited to, risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Forward-looking statements represent the judgment of management of the Company regarding future events. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable at the time that they are made, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, and expressly disclaims any obligation to do so, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
