BioVersys during 2023 and 2024 as theBioVersys clinical trial progresses; - prioritize non-dilutive financing with several multi-million dollar proposals already submitted or currently being prepared for submission, recognizing that the Company needs a strong balance sheet to support and provide co-funding for projects under any such agreements.
