“Covid-19 continues to provide a challenging backdrop for our business and in particular for launching our new product in Japan, where new States of Emergency have been declared in several regions recently. We continue to work with our prospective distribution partner towards a suitable launch date in a positive and engaged manner.

We are also taking a number of actions to improve new business levels both with respect to our traditional business and by progressing opportunities to deploy new products more widely in Japan and in other suitable territories around the world.”
