Remarks by Howard Jonas, Chairman and CEO of Rafael Holdings

"Rafael Holdings' key pharmaceutical investments, Rafael Pharma and LipoMedix and our wholly owned Barer Institute, continue to execute on their development and clinical programs despite the challenges posed by the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic. I am especially gratified that Rafael Pharma has surpassed the 80% enrollment milestone in its pivotal Phase 3 Avenger 500 study of patients with pancreatic cancer. The Barer Institute is evaluating promising candidates for potential clinical development programs. And finally, we continue to work to monetize our New Jersey real estate assets, while our asset in Israel is now fully leased."
