As disclosed in SCYNEXIS, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2015, SCYNEXIS is currently exploring the divestiture of its contract research and development services business (the “service business”). This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to provide the unaudited pro forma financial information relating to the potential divestiture of the service business, which is set forth in Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
Although SCYNEXIS is currently exploring the divestiture of the service business, there is no guarantee that the divestiture of the service business will occur. The divestiture of the service business may not occur for any number of reasons, including for reasons within the control of SCYNEXIS as well as reasons outside the control of SCYNEXIS. Consequently, readers should not assume that the divestiture of the service business will occur at all. Further, the unaudited pro forma financial information provided in Exhibit 99.1 hereto represents management’s best estimate of SCYNEXIS’s financial position or results of operations that would have been obtained had a divestiture been completed as of the date or for the periods presented, but may not necessarily be indicative of or comparable to the financial position or results of operations that may be obtained in the future.
