Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure

On July 26, 2021, Galectin Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) posted on its corporate website a recent video. In the video, Dr. Ben Carson, Senior Scientific Advisor to the Company, and a panel of executives and certain directors of the Company discuss the Company’s progress. The Video is available on the Company’s website at https://galectintherapeutics.com/video-library/.

The information contained in the video is summary information that should be considered in the context of the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other public announcements the Company may make by press release or otherwise from time to time. The information contained in the video speaks as of its date.

The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the information in the video, is furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the information in the video, shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date of this Current Report, regardless of any general incorporation language in any such filing.

The videos “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “going to,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “potential,” “seek,” “should,” “think,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions, or they may use future dates. These forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and viewers of the videos are therefore cautioned that actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include risks and uncertainties discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the “Risk Factors” sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as expressly required by law. All forward-looking statements in this document are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
