Certain of the statements made in this press release are forward looking, such as those, among others, relating to the company’s expectations for regulatory approval and commercial launch of brentuximab vedotin. Actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected or implied in these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such a difference include risks that data from the pivotal Hodgkin lymphoma trial and phase II systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma trial of brentuximab vedotin will not support marketing approval for the submitted indications. More information about the risks and uncertainties faced by Seattle Genetics is contained in the company’s 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Seattle Genetics disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
