We marked a true milestone for our revolutionary approach to mental health treatment with the recent treatment of our 100,000th patient, and this was complemented by impressive commercial and regulatory achievements, including our successful follow-on raise of $45.2 million in gross proceeds, the controlled market release of our smoking addiction system, and the FDA’s clearance of our three-minute Theta Burst depression protocol. We believe these accomplishments position us well to generate long-term shareholder value and to advance in our mission to improve health and transform lives.”
