About SurgiBot
The SurgiBot system, currently in development, is a minimally invasive, patient-side robotic surgery system. The system utilizes flexible instruments through articulating channels controlled directly by the surgeon, with robotic assistance, at the patient’s bedside. The flexible nature of the system allows for multiple instruments to be introduced and deployed through a single incision. The SurgiBot System has not been cleared by the FDA for use in the United States.
About TransEnterix
TransEnterix is a medical device company that is pioneering the use of robotics and flexible instruments to improve minimally invasive surgery by addressing the economic and clinical challenges associated with current laparoscopic and robotic options. The Company is focused on the development and commercialization of the SurgiBot System, a robotically enhanced laparoscopic surgical platform that allows the surgeon to be patient-side within the sterile field.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release includes statements relating to the SurgiBot System, and our current regulatory and commercialization plans for these products. These statements and other statements regarding our future plans and goals constitute “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are often difficult to predict, are beyond our control, and which may cause results to differ materially from expectations, including whether we will be able to successfully commercialize the SurgiBot System and whether the SurgiBot System will be able to be utilized in a wide variety of surgical facilities with the potential to deliver critical benefits to surgeons, hospitals and patients. Factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those described include, but are not limited to, whether the SurgiBot System’s 510(k) application will be cleared by the U.S. FDA. For a discussion of the most significant risks and uncertainties associated with TransEnterix’s business, please review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed on February 20, 2015, our Form 10-Q for the 2015 second quarter expected to be filed on August 6, 2015, and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
