The management team remains wholly confident in the inherent value of the Company's test products and its EpiSwitch platform and therefore, as part of these plans, directors, PDMRs and certain other senior staff have agreed to take 25% of their net pay in newly issued shares for the foreseeable future. Chief Executive Officer, Dr Jon Burrows will take 35% of his net pay in newly issued shares.
Notwithstanding the measures being taken to reduce the cost base, the Company will require additional cash resources by early Q1 of 2025. The Board has therefore launched a comprehensive review of the strategic options open to the Company. In addition to exploring available funding options, the review will consider a range of potential actions, including but not limited to a licensing or sale of Company assets - such as the EpiSwitch NST and EpiSwitch SCB tests - and a possible hive-off of the Company's US business into a separately funded entity. Currently, the strategic review does not envisage an offer for the Company under the City Code of Takeovers and Mergers. A further announcement regarding the outcome of the review will be provided in due course.
