We are delighted with the support from existing and new sophisticated and professional investors in the placement announced today, which reflects confidence in the Company. We will offer all shareholders the opportunity to participate on the same terms as the placement in the rights issue announced today. The funding will be applied to our existing key projects encompassing continued commercialization of the OncoSil device, regulatory approvals to include new markets and expansion of existing indications. In addition, funds will be applied to the validation and commissioning of the Macquarie Park facility to enhance the robustness of the supply chain. Over the months ahead, we look forward to announcing the achievement of further critical milestones in this commercialization process. Some of these will be regulator-specific developments, including FDA and G-BA approvals. Others will involve achievements realized in our ongoing validation trials (PANCOSIL recruitment drive included) and our focus on growing the device's geographic footprint. We are currently working on cost reduction strategies and will communicate this to the market in due course.
