André C. Muller, Chief Financial Officer, commented:
"We have decided to improve our offered consent fee to 8 million Idorsia shares.

support of Jean-Paul and Martine Clozel, we are confident to reach the required
two thirds majority of the Bonds' aggregate principal amount that will give us
the flexibility to secure other funding avenues and extend our cash runway."
