agreement(s) for the United States in 2024, which should generate
upfront payments, supply revenues and royalties

of its rights to receive future milestone and royalty payments
under its existing license and collaboration agreements
- Accelerating
cost-saving initiatives, including putting some ongoing R&D on
hold; actively renegotiating contracts with various active
pharmaceutical ingredient suppliers; and, stopping all
discretionary capital expenditures

safety studies and regulatory support for MYRING®
will continue
