On May 16, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Forward-Looking Statements

The attached press release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause Catalyst’s actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results. A number of factors, including whether the Phase III trial evaluating Firdapse™ for the treatment of LEMS will be successful, whether the Phase III trial will be completed on the expected timeline, whether Catalyst has sufficient resources to meet its projected operating requirements through the first quarter of 2014, as well as those factors described in Catalyst’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2012 and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), could adversely affect Catalyst. Copies of Catalyst’s filings with the SEC are available from the SEC, may be found on Catalyst’s website or may be obtained upon request from Catalyst. Catalyst does not undertake any obligation to update the information contained therein, which speaks only as of this date.
