1 Mithra's press release, 07/02/2022
On top of the two financing lines from GSI and LDA Capital, the Company's management team is currently contemplating additional financing options supported by existing and new investors, that could potentially be implemented in the near and medium term. These financing options could include, among others, dilutive and non-dilutive debt funding, equity based funding, or a combination of these options. If secured, this additional funding would allow the Company to finance its operating expenses and further strengthen its balance sheet, in addition to the backstop facilities with GSI and LDA Capital.
The negotiations around the Donesta® License and Supply Agreement are progressing according to our plans, with a completion of the deal currently estimated at the latest in the fourth quarter of 2022.
