Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this release that are not historical information contain forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based on assumptions of future events which may not prove to be accurate. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "may,” "should,” "expects,” "plans,” "anticipates,” "could,” "intends,” "target,” "projects,” "contemplates,” "believes,” "estimates,” "predicts,” "potential” or "continue” or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology. NovoCure Limited derives many of its forward-looking statements from its operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While NovoCure Limited believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it is difficult to predict the impact of known factors and, of course, it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. These factors are discussed in the "Risk factors,” "Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements,” "Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations,” and "Our business” sections and elsewhere in NovoCure Limited’s registration statement.

You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by NovoCure Limited herein, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which made. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible for NovoCure Limited to predict these events or how they may affect it. NovoCure Limited has no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof, except as required by federal securities laws.
