Strategy and Outlook
The Company's strategy remains to seek a farm-in partner for PEL0094. In parallel with the farm-out process, given the Company's reducing cash resources and the continued delays regarding its Italian licence applications, the Board has also decided to explore all strategic alternatives, in order to maximize shareholder value.
