Positive Outlook

- The strategic review process aims to maximize shareholder value, potentially through mergers, acquisitions, or new product candidates.
- The company has a strong intellectual property position for its Aniten series drug portfolio.
- Reduced operating expenses due to the wind-down of clinical trials may lead to lower cash burn.

Challenges Ahead
- The company has never been profitable and expects to incur significant losses in the foreseeable future.
- There is no assurance that the strategic review process will successfully identify or consummate a beneficial transaction.
- The process of evaluating strategic options is costly, time-consuming, and complex, which will decrease available cash.
