An extract from the trading halt made today 7 April 2020 reads as follows:-

"In requesting the trading halt, the Company provides the following information:
(a)the trading halt is requested in respect of finalising an announcement on a financing transaction;"


Raising 7.2mil @40 cents does not make sense!
IMO finalising a deal regarding Paxalisib is a more likely outcome.
