I would argue therefore that the movements in the share price this year do not reflect any part of the underlying reality of the company. At times, share prices are driven more by abstract sentiment than by any objective consideration of science and economics.
The primary tasks for the Board and management of Kazia, as we head into 2023, are to reconnect the company with investors, to reaffirm the enormous value of our pipeline, and to restore some sensible valuation to our stock. Those tasks are summarised in the plan that has been described by the CEO, and work is already underway. I am entirely confident that, by executing carefully and patiently on our plans, we will return our company to its rightful standing.
Kazia has been through difficult times before, but I can assure you that we have the experience, the commitment, and the resolve to see the job through. Quite simply, there is too much at stake to do otherwise.
I will conclude by once again thanking my fellow directors, our CEO, Dr James Garner, and his management team for their hard work throughout the year, despite a challenging backdrop. It is a testament both to the value of our pipeline and the professionalism of our team that sentiment within Kazia remains entirely positive and forward-looking.
Finally, I wish to thank you, our shareholders, for your continuing support of the company. It has not been the easiest twelve months to be an investor in Kazia. However, you remain invested in a company with enormous potential, and your Board will leave no stone unturned to ensure that this potential is realised and recognised.
