Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Were extremely excited about the proposed transactions weve laid out in our press release that youve probably seen, and Im eager to dive into the details with you today. So Id like to start on slide five. Ill remind you that Aadis long-term vision has always been to make bold choices in applying technology to efficiently deliver improved precision oncology therapies for people living with difficult-to-treat cancers. These transactions, while transformative for us as a company, are rooted in Aadis legacy as a precision oncology biotech. The unique combination of these transactions will position us to further advance our mission for patients and create significant long-term value for shareholders. First, we have entered an agreement to sell FYARRO and the associated infrastructure to Kaken Pharmaceuticals for $100 million, allowing for the continued distribution and growth of FYARRO in PEComa and potentially beyond with an innovative R&D-focused pharmaceutical company and with Kakens stated desire to grow its commercial footprint in the U.S. In our second transaction, we have entered an agreement to license three preclinical antibody drug conjugates, or ADCs, from WuXi Biologics, a leading global CRDMO that leverages an advanced linker-payload technology from Hangzhou DAC, an ADC platform leader founded over a dozen years ago. Acquisition to the rights of these portfolio resets Aadis potential with three high-potential assets focused in precision oncology, but now in the exciting field of ADCs. In our third transaction, weve announced a PIPE Financing of $100 million, ensuring sufficient capital and allowing our ability to enter the clinic and deliver key clinical updates on all three of these assets. In total, between cash on hand that was reported at $63 million at the end of 2023, $100 million from the sale of FYARRO, and $100 million from the PIPE Financing, we believe Aadi starts with a capital position giving us cash runway into the latter half of 2028. Now lets take a closer look at each transaction. On slide six, as mentioned, Kaken Pharmaceutical and Aadi have entered
