In terms of our business strategy, we concluded the acquisition of the multi-modal biologics manufacturing facility from Stelis Biopharma Ltd and we have embarked on repurposing the facility from vaccines to biologics manufacturing in preparation for revalidation. We expect the facility to be ready for operations in the second half of fiscal year 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.”
