This press release contains “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
regarding, among other things, the proposed public offering of Alimera’s common stock. Such forward-looking statements are based
on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them,
and could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in its forward-looking statements. Meaningful factors which
could cause actual results to differ, including, whether or not Alimera will be able to raise capital, the final terms of the proposed

10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the SEC, other unknown or
unpredictable factors also could affect Alimera’s results. There can be no assurance that the actual results or developments
anticipated by Alimera will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects
on, Alimera. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the outcomes stated in such forward-looking statements and estimates will be
achieved.
All forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements contained or
referred to herein. Alimera cautions investors not to rely too heavily on the forward-looking statements Alimera makes or that are
