Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Aldeyra”) will be making presentations at the 16th Annual Rodman & Renshaw Global Investment Conference, taking place September 8, 2014 through September 10, 2014 in New York, New York, and the Aegis Capital Corporation 2014 Healthcare and Technology Conference, taking place on September 10, 2014 through September 13, 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The slides that will be used for these presentations are furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Aldeyra issued a press release on September 5, 2014 announcing the Company’s participation at these conferences, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Various statements to be made during the presentations, including statements in the slides furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K, are “forward-looking statements” under the securities laws. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “goal,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” and “could,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions or words, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations that involve risks, changes in circumstances, assumptions and uncertainties.

Aldeyra is at an early stage of development and may not ever have any products that generate significant revenue. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in Aldeyra’s forward-looking statements include, among others, the timing and success of preclinical studies and clinical trials conducted by Aldeyra and its development partners; the ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of Aldeyra’s product candidates, and the labeling for any approved products; the scope, progress, expansion, and costs of developing and commercializing Aldeyra’s product candidates; the size and growth of the potential markets for Aldeyra’s product candidates and the ability to serve those markets; Aldeyra’s expectations regarding Aldeyra’s expenses and revenue; the sufficiency of Aldeyra’s cash resources and needs for additional financing; Aldeyra’s ability to attract or retain key personnel; and other factors that are described in the “Risk Factors” section of Aldeyra’s final prospectus filed under Rule 424(b)(4) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with Aldeyra’s initial public offering and Aldeyra’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 filed with the SEC on August 7, 2014. No forward-looking statements can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from such statements.

All written and verbal forward-looking statements attributable to Aldeyra or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein. Aldeyra cautions investors not to rely too heavily on the forward-looking statements Aldeyra makes or that are made on its behalf. The information conveyed during the presentation and in the slides attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K will be provided only as of the date on which such slides are presented, and the Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements contained in such presentations or slides from and after the date of such presentation whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Exhibits attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for 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, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
