Thank you, Emily, and good afternoon, everyone. We appreciate your joining us today as we review Cumberland's second quarter results and discuss one of the most significant milestones in our company's history. In June, our shareholders overwhelmingly approved the strategic transaction with Apotex Health and on July 1st, we successfully closed the agreement to integrate our branded U.S. commercial businesses. This transformational transaction strengthened Cumberland's financial position, unlocked substantial value for our shareholders and established a solid foundation for the company's next phase of growth. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their support throughout this process. Over 99% of the voting shareholders voted in favor of the transaction. Their approval affirmed our strategy and reflects confidence in Cumberland's future as an innovation-focused biopharmaceutical company. We're also delighted to recently announce and fund a special dividend to return capital to our shareholders. After the dividend, we've retained sufficient capital to fund operations for the long term while maintaining significant additional financial reserves for any special opportunities that may arise. Our strong financial position will provide the foundation for executing our plans as we pivot to a focus on developing new medicines for the future. As a reminder, under the terms of the transaction with Apotex, they acquired our portfolio of FDA-approved commercial brands and related US organization. Cumberland received $100 million in cash at closing with an additional $11 million due for inventory and transition payments along with a potential $10 million milestone payment. Importantly, this transaction enables us to sharpen our strategic focus while maintaining the financial strength needed to advance our development programs. It also provides additional capital to invest in our clinical pipeline, pursue new opportunities, and continue to create overall value for our shareholders. Our commercial portfolio served as the foundation of Cumberland's business for many years and facilitated our developing innovative therapies for patients with serious unmet medical needs. With the divestiture of our commercial brands, our strategy and focus now centers on advancing our iFitraBand clinical programs, which target multiple diseases with significant medical needs and substantial commercial opportunities. We believe monetizing the value of our commercial portfolio was well-timed as our clinical programs have made great strides benefiting from years of scientific investment and clinical research. Several have now advanced to a point where they've generated very promising data which has been highlighted in medical publications and in medical conferences. Following our strategic transaction, we are now in a financial position to accelerate the funding for these clinical programs and even if just one of our products in development goes on to receive FDA approval, that milestone has the potential to be a significant value creator for Cumberland. Now I'd like to turn it over to Todd Anthony for the clinical update. Todd?
