We look forward to an exciting twelve months ahead as we actively pursue the path to approval," said, David Stamler, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Alterity.

Based on the promising outlook for the company, we raised these funds at a modest discount with no options. The additional funding allows us to continue advancing our clinical and regulatory strategy for ATH434 with the US FDA and other agencies, while at the same time it strengthens our institutional register and balance sheet to best position the company for pursuing strategic partnerships."
