WesBanco, Inc. and Premier Financial Corp. Announce Shareholder Approvals of Merger AgreementA transgender activist interrupted an event featuring Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), and upon his forced exit, Mace made it clear that God loves him but “his penis is not going to be in my bathroom.” Video shows the transgender activist — a man wearing a skirt — standing up during the event — Georgetown University’s “Summit on the Future of the Internet” — holding a “Progress Pride” flag, which includes additional colors for transgender individuals and minorities. “This is ridiculous. It is the day after Trans Day of disability,” he said, before accusing Mace and those who believe like her of being responsible for the death of transgender individuals. “We have had dozens of trans people die this year because of the hate and lies that you are spreading,” he said, as he was escorted out of the facility. “Are we building an internet for everyone or just a privileged few? Are you going to stand up for the lives of trans people, black and brown people? Are we fighting for justice or are we fighting for Big Tech,” he continued. “I love him, God loves him, but his penis is not going to be in my bathroom,” Mace responded, reiterating that remark on X. “Raging lunatic, pretending to be female, tried to rush the stage at me just a little bit ago. All because I don’t want men watching women undress in the locker room,” Mace wrote, sharing the clip: The New York Post identified the activist as Evan Greer, who denied rushing the stage but made clear he would interrupt again. Mace has continued to face scrutiny from the left after proposing a bill which states that any “Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House may not use a single-sex facility (including a restroom, changing room, or locker room) in the Capitol or House Office Buildings, other than those corresponding to the biological sex of such individual.” This proposal comes as transgender Delaware Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D) — a man who believes he is a woman — is set to join the House of Representatives in January. “And the speaker said it would be in the House rules package. If it’s not, I’ll be ready with a motion, a privileged motion, to force a vote on this. This is not ok. I’m a survivor of rape, I’m a survivor of sexual abuse, and I’m not going to allow any man in any female private space. End of story,” Mace told a reporter this week, defending her effort to keep biological men out of single-sex spaces designated for women. “Why is it that these crazy people, the insanity, the radical left are willing to kill women over a man’s right to be in a women’s restroom?” she asked, noting that she has received death threats from “men pretending to be women.” “Forcing women to share private spaces with men is not dignity and not respect,” Mace made clear. “I’m absolutely going to stand in the way of anyone who thinks it’s ok for a man to be in our locker room and our changing rooms, in our dressing rooms and women’s bathrooms.” Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is among those who has not taken Mace’s proposal well, bizarrely asserting that keeping biological men out of women’s spaces would endanger women. “What Nancy Mace and what Speaker Johnson are doing are endangering all women and girls,” Ocasio-Cortez began. “Because if you ask them, ‘What is your plan on how to enforce this,’ they won’t come up with an answer.” “And what it inevitably results in are women and girls who are primed for assault because they want — because people are going to want to check their private parts in suspecting who is trans and who is this, and who’s doing what,” she claimed. “And so the idea that Nancy Mace wants little girls and women to drop trow in front of who — an investigator? Who would that be? In order, because she wants to suspect and point fingers at who she thinks is trans, is disgusting. It is disgusting,” she added. “People have a right to express themselves, to dress how they want and to be who they are, and if a woman doesn’t look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect her genitals to use a bathroom,” Ocasio-Cortez asserted, calling it “disgusting” and “gross.” “I love living rent-free in AOC’s tiny little brain,” Mace responded during an appearance on Fox News @ Night . “I mean, I never said anything like that. In fact, the irony here is that she’s a radical leftist clown that, you know, I’m a rape victim. I’m a survivor of sexual abuse. I have PTSD from the abuse I’ve suffered at the hands of a man. And it’s so weird and dangerous and perverted. This idea that it’s ok for a naked man to be in a locker room with women, it’s insanity to me,” she added. “And this has got to stop,” Mace continued. “And so, in a world of this, this kind of insane ideology that AOC embraces, I aim to be a giant, and I plan to stop anybody, male or female, that’s going to put women and girls in harm’s way. I’m not going to tolerate it.”Trident Reports First Half 2024 Unaudited Financial Results

The Huskies trailed by 12 with three minutes left in regulation, but freshman Liam McNeeley led a comeback effort and Solo Ball nailed a 3-pointer with a fraction of a second left, sending the game to overtime. Coach Dan Hurley, angry with the referees from the very beginning of the game, was called for a costly technical foul with 40 seconds left as he argued an over-the-back foul against McNeeley, and the Tigers went up four. Hassan Diarra scored eight points for the Huskies in overtime, but was forced to heave a shot at the buzzer that was off the mark. UConn is now 4-1 on the season and 9-4 all-time in the Maui Invitational. After their first loss in their last 17 games dating back to last season, the Huskies will meet the loser of Game 2 between Colorado and Michigan State on Tuesday. The tone was set early as Samson Johnson collected his first foul about 20 seconds in. It took only four minutes for the first technical to be called against UConn’s bench. The foul trouble continued as Johnson, McNeeley and Ball picked up two a piece midway through the opening half. UConn finished the game with 29 total fouls, sending Memphis to the free throw line for 40 shots. UConn struggled to operate through the physicality of Memphis’ defense, but Tarris Reed Jr. (22 points, 11 rebounds) held his own to keep UConn in the game as the Tigers started 3-for-5 from beyond the arc. Sophomore Jaylin Stewart, only averaging 2.8 points in 12.8 minutes per game, took advantage of his opportunity as the Huskies’ deficit grew to six. He made a 3-pointer and scored seven consecutive points, dunking to tie the game before Reed slammed another to take the lead. The first half was Adama Sanogo-esque for Reed, who went into the break with 15 points and seven rebounds. He and Stewart combined to score UConn’s final 22 points of the half, enough to keep up with Memphis’ 13-for-23 shooting from the field, 5-for-10 from beyond the arc, and knot the halftime score at 40. But UConn’s offense couldn’t keep up in the second half. Ball started UConn’s scoring with a 3-pointer, but it was more than four scoreless minutes before Karaban made his third triple of the game to quell a 5-0 Memphis run. Stewart reentered and almost immediately slammed a putback dunk off a McNeeley miss with 14 minutes to go, tying the game back up at 48. Stewart didn’t score again, however, and finished the game with 16 points and five boards. The Huskies started the second half just 3-for-10 from the field in the second half before Hunter and Mahaney traded triples and Karaban hit all three from the line after he was fouled on a 3-point attempt, tying the score for the 11th time. But the shots didn’t stop falling for Memphis. Hunter, 7 for his first 10 3-pointers, hit one from the corner while drawing the fourth foul on Mahaney and converted the four-point play. He was good again from beyond the arc 30 seconds later, pushing Memphis’ lead to 10 points with 8:09 left in the game. Memphis’ lead grew to 13 before Karaban’s fourth triple of the game with 3:37 left. Reed dunked twice to keep the game from getting out of hand, but fouled out with about three minutes left. McNeeley, quiet with just two points through the game’s first 37 and a half minutes, nailed back-to-back 3-pointers and cut the Huskies’ deficit to four with 1:38 to go. The Huskies forced a turnover down three with 14 seconds left, and Ball sent the game to overtime with a 3-pointer just before the buzzer. Johnson fouled out with a technical foul in the overtime period and finished with just two points, and Ball fouled out with 13 seconds left in overtime.

TAPACHULA, Mexico (AP) — Mexican immigration authorities have broken up two small migrant caravans headed to the U.S. border, activists said Saturday. Some migrants were bused to cities in southern Mexico, and others were offered transit papers. The action comes a week after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatened to slap 25% tariffs on Mexican products unless the country does more to stem the flow of migrants to the U.S. border. On Wednesday, Trump wrote that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum had agreed to stop unauthorized migration across the border into the United States. Sheinbaum wrote on her social media accounts the same day that “migrants and caravans are taken care of before they reach the border.” Migrant rights activist Luis García Villagrán said the breaking-up of the two caravans appeared to be part of “an agreement between the president of Mexico and the president of the United States.” The first of the caravans started out from the southern Mexico city of Tapachula, near the border with Guatemala, on Nov. 5, the day Trump was elected. At its height it had about 2,500 people. In almost four weeks of walking, it had gone about 270 miles (430 kilometers) to Tehuantepec in the state of Oaxaca. In Tehuantepec, Mexican immigration officials offered the tired migrants free bus rides to other cities in southern or central Mexico. “They took some of us to Acapulco, others to Morelia, and others from our group to Oaxaca city,” said Bárbara Rodríguez, an opposition supporter who left her native Venezuela after that country’s contested presidential elections earlier this year. Rodríguez said by telephone she later caught a bus on her own to Mexico City. The second caravan of about 1,500 migrants set out on Nov. 20 and made it about 140 miles (225 kilometers) to the town of Tonala, in Chiapas state. There, authorities offered a sort of transit visa that allows travel across Mexico for 20 days. Sheinbaum has said she is confident that a tariff war with the United States can be averted. But her statement — the day after she held a phone call with Trump — did not make clear who had offered what. Apart from the much larger first caravans in 2018 and 2019 — which were provided buses to ride part of the way north — no caravan has ever reached the U.S. border walking or hitchhiking in any cohesive way, though some individual members have made it. For years, migrant caravans have often been blocked, harassed or prevented from hitching rides by Mexican police and immigration agents. They have also frequently been rounded up or returned to areas near the Guatemalan border. ___ Follow AP migration coverage at https://apnews.com/hub/migration Advertisement

President-elect Donald Trump said on Saturday that he wants real estate developer Charles Kushner, father of Mr Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, to serve as ambassador to France. Mr Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post, calling Charles Kushner “a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker”. Mr Kushner is the founder of Kushner Companies, a real estate firm. Jared Kushner is a former senior Trump adviser who is married to Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka. The elder Mr Kushner was pardoned by Trump in December 2020 after pleading guilty years earlier to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations. Prosecutors alleged that after Charles Kushner discovered his brother-in-law was co-operating with federal authorities in an investigation, he hatched a scheme for revenge and intimidation. Mr Kushner hired a prostitute to lure his brother-in-law, then arranged to have the encounter in a New Jersey motel room recorded with a hidden camera and the recording sent to his own sister, the man’s wife, prosecutors said. Mr Kushner eventually pleaded guilty to 18 counts including tax evasion and witness tampering. He was sentenced in 2005 to two years in prison – the most he could receive under a plea deal, but less than what Chris Christie, the US attorney for New Jersey at the time and later governor and Republican presidential candidate, had sought. Mr Christie has blamed Jared Kushner for his firing from Mr Trump’s transition team in 2016, and has called Charles Kushner’s offences “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted when I was US attorney”. Mr Trump and the elder Mr Kushner knew each other from real estate circles and their children were married in 2009.AP Sports SummaryBrief at 5:33 p.m. ESTMortgage Rate Predictions: Holiday Week Brings Higher Rates

After making his shock return to boxing in November, Mike Tyson will 'fight' again in 2025, according to comedian Joe Gatto . The comedian, known famously for his role in the hit TV show 'Impractical Jokers', has claimed to be fighting the former heavyweight champion while undergoing a body transformation from 'fat to fit' in a new docuseries. "Exciting news. In 2025 I will enter the ring with the legendary @MikeTyson - training starts 1/1/25 and you can watch it all on @hulu," Gatto wrote on social media. "My new show #FightingWeight will document my transformation from fat to fit as I push myself to the limit. I appreciate the support of all who made this happen & to @Bellagio for hosting the event this summer. New year. New me." Butterbean’s fight offers to Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, net worth and body transformation Mike Tyson makes admission after Jake Paul payday – 'I'm kind of depressed' However, unsurprisingly for a comedian, it's a funny marketing plot to help sell his new tour show. Gatto is instead launching his 43-show 'Let’s Get Into It' tour on Friday night in Reading, Pennsylvania, before performing across the country. Gatto's tour will conclude in June 2025, but not before he performs his shows in cities such as Boston, San Diego, Toronto, Detroit, Las Vegas, and Knoxville. While his claim to be fighting Tyson was seemingly a clear joke, it appeared to fool some fans online. "Definitely didn't have Joe Gatto fighting Mike Tyson on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are and I'm happy to be here," one replied. "Zero shot they are fighting, Mike must be helping him train to lose weight through boxing cardio," another claimed. "Wait is this for real? lol," one fan asked. The majority of Gatto's fans instantly realized it was a wind-up, and the former 'Impractical Jokers' star is excited to get back on stage, not step inside the ring. "I set the tone," Gatto told 6abc Action News when announcing his return to live comedy. "We have a lot of fun. The shows are very joyous, and I like making my shows more like events. That’s why I really do the live comedy. I just love making an event where people can come, forget about all the BS in life for a little bit and just get together and laugh." Tyson also may not return to the ring, after signing off his defeat to Jake Paul on Nov. 15 by hinting that it would be the last time. Tyson battled health problems before finally being cleared to fight someone half his age, and posted on social media after losing: "This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I'm grateful for last night. "To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you."

Special counsel moves to abandon election interference and classified documents cases against TrumpThe meeting at the level of foreign ministers will be held at the request of Syria, SANA news agency reported on Tuesday night. The meeting is scheduled to be held next Sunday and will review developments in Syria that is struggling to deal with the resurgence of terrorists in the north and northwestern parts of the country. Terrorist groups, including Nusra Front, with the support of some countries and the arrival of fresh foreign forces, launched a massive attack on Syrian army positions last week, sparking fierce clashes in Idlib, the outskirts of Aleppo, and parts of Hama and Latakia. Syria’s Arab League membership was revoked after President Bashar al-Assad ordered a crackdown on foreign-backed terrorists back in 2011 that spiraled the country into a civil war that has since killed nearly half a million people and displaced another 23 million. Ties with Damascus normalized in May last year, as the bloc hoped for an ‘Arab-led political path’ to solve the Syrian crisis and foreign ministers from Arab League member states agreed to reinstate Syria’s into the bloc. 4399Busy studying for her national five exams, she also spent a lot of time online and on social media. She describes her use of social platforms as “second nature” and “everyone had it”. While chatting online with a boy who she thought was her age, he asked her to download another app that was an encrypted private messenger. “After we were messaging a while, he asked for pictures of myself. And I did it. I was 15,” Aoife told Scotland Tonight. But the tone of the conversation changed after she shared an intimate photo of herself. “He said he was much older than me, that he was 22. He had a degree in cyber security. The way he described himself was that he was untouchable and he was so powerful it didn’t matter what I did.” Aoife immediately experienced further threats as the man demanded more pictures of her. “I remember the bit that gave me the shock of my life was (he told me) if you don’t comply, I’ll send these photos you’ve already sent me to your Facebook family and friends. “I just felt like, you know in the movies when someone’s alone and everything just turns black. Mum and dad were down the hall and my sisters in their bedrooms, but I felt like the only person in the world. “One minute you’re 15 and having fun on a social media app and then the next thing you’re suddenly in so much trouble. You feel like you’re the only person in the world and you don’t know where to turn with it.” Despite being filled with panic and dread, Aoife remembered a helpline she’d been told about in school. Her abuser was still bombarding her with threats and demands but she managed to convince him she was logging off to go to sleep as she had school in the morning. She logged onto the and had the presence of mind and courage to report what had happened. The following day, Aoife’s teacher phoned her dad. “He sat me down and said the school had just phoned. They said you reported an incident that happened last night, tell me about it. “And then I just broke down. It was difficult. It’s one thing knowing this person has all this power over you and pictures of you. “It’s another thing having to admit to your mum and dad. But after I told them they were very supportive and my dad was like ‘we’ll phone the police and let them deal with it.'” After an 18-month investigation by the police and National Crime Agency, Aoife’s abuser, a man from West Sussex, was tracked down. Jordan Croft admitted 65 offences against 26 girls and women aged between 12 and 22. In 2022, he was jailed for 18 years and will spend another eight years on licence. Aoife joined the other victims in court and they held hands as he was brought to justice. She now volunteers for the NSPCC and wants to use her experience to help others. Seeing her abuser convicted has helped her realise what happened wasn’t her fault. “My abuser’s already in jail, he doesn’t have power over me,” said Aoife. “I can turn something disgusting and horrible into a good thing where I can help other people.” Her advice to others is clear. “Just tell anyone. Tell someone that you trust, someone you think will look after you. That will probably be one of the hardest conversations of your life but it’s so worth it.” Get all the latest news from around the country Scan the QR code on your mobile device for all the latest news from around the countryCitius Oncology, Inc.

PARIS (AP) — Striker Arnaud Kalimuendo scored a hat trick and Rennes got back to winning ways in Ligue 1 by thrashing 10-man Saint-Etienne 5-0 on Saturday. Meanwhile, leader Paris Saint-Germian dropped points at home when it drew with Nantes 1-1. Rennes coach Jorge Sampaoli's first win with his new team came in his second match in charge after he took over this month. Rennes had failed to score in more than a month and lost its three previous matches. The result lifted the host one point above Saint-Etienne. Visiting Saint-Etienne made things difficult for itself when Mathieu Cafaro, who hit the post earlier, was sent off for a handball in the box in the 37th minute. Kalimuendo put Rennes in the driving seat from the penalty spot two minutes later, and they returned to the locker room with a two-goal lead after Ludovic Blas, who was excellent throughout, found the net in added time. Kalimuendo added another goal with a nice finish and converted a second penalty to seal his first Ligue 1 hat trick. Amine Gouiri also scored. “We’re not going to say that everything clicked; we’re not going to get carried away. But it’s true that it feels good to win, to score a lot of goals, and to keep a clean sheet," Gouiri said. “However, we were helped by that red card. We need to enjoy this but not get ahead of ourselves. We have to build on the positives to keep going. It’s good for confidence." The fiery Sampaoli returned to French soccer following a previous stint with Marseille . Sampaoli was in charge of Argentina at the 2018 World Cup. He has also coached clubs in Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Spain and Brazil. Sampaoli abruptly left Marseille in July 2022 after leading the team back to the Champions League, over a disagreement related to the club’s transfers of players. PSG could not hold onto an early lead against Nantes at Parc des Princes. Achraf Hakimi put PSG in front early but the hosts were wasteful against a very defensive Nantes that leveled against the run of the play before the interval. Matthis Abline beat Gianluigi Donnarumma with a left-footed shot after dribbling past Willian Pacho. Donnarumma, who was dropped midweek during a 1-0 Champions League loss at Bayern Munich, made a reflex save near the hour mark to salvage the draw. Uninspired, Luis Enrique’s team remained unbeaten in the league, extending its lead over second-placed Monaco to seven points. The Principality side travels to third-placed Marseille on Sunday. Nantes remained 16th, the relegation playoff position. The Brittany side recovered from a 3-0 loss at Barcelona in the Champions League midweek by beating Strasbourg 3-1. The result snapped a three-match losing run in Ligue 1, and moved Brest to 10th place.

Taking into account the 37 names it announced in its first list, SAD has so far declared candidates for 64 of the 95 wards under Ludhiana MC. Ex-councillor Bhupinder Singh Bhinda, who remained SAD district president and recently resigned from the post, has also been given the party ticket from Ward 60 in Ludhiana West assembly constituency. SAD leaders are finding it hard to find 95 faces for the elections. This is because SAD, in its second list, has announced candidates who switched from BJP or AAP. Manpreet Singh, who left BJP for SAD, is the party’s choice from Ward 78 in Ludhiana Central constituency. Aam Aadmi Party legal cell joint secretary Achla Bhanot, wife of Advocate Amandeep Bhanot, had recently joined the Shiromani Akali Dal and has been announced its candidate from Ward 61.

($RIVN) surged nearly 14% on Monday, driven by two key developments. Tesla ($TSLA) reached a “conditional” settlement in its lawsuit against Rivian, which had accused the electric vehicle maker of poaching employees and stealing trade secrets. The Elon Musk-owned electric vehicle maker did not disclose specifics of the settlement but expects to seek dismissal of the case by Dec. 24, according to Bloomberg. Secondly, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced plans to propose a new version of the state’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Program (CVRP) if President-elect Donald Trump moves forward with eliminating federal EV tax credits. Newsom’s proposal aims to replace federal incentives with state-level rebates, which could be funded by California’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, according to the statement from the governor’s office. It cited that the original CVRP, phased out in 2023, had funded 594,000 electric vehicles and saved 456 million gallons of fuel. California is touted as a national leader in clean vehicle adoption with over 2 million zero-emission vehicles sold. However, Tesla may face hurdles under the new proposal, as market-share caps in the draft plan could exclude its best-selling models, the governor’s office told Bloomberg. Despite Tesla's stock hitting a two-year high earlier in the day after UBS raised its price target to $226 from $197 while maintaining a ‘Sell’ rating, shares dipped over 1% by midday. Retail sentiment around the stock was in the ‘bullish’ territory (65/100) with users suggesting the downtick is temporary. Meanwhile, Newsom’s proposal not only lifted Rivian’s stock, but also boosted shares of other EV makers, including Lucid ($LCID), which rose 5%, and VinFast Auto Ltd. ($VFS), which gained 1%. Retail sentiment around Rivian turned ‘bullish’ (69/100) from ‘neutral’ a day ago but users are divided over what’s driving its most recent stock surge. However, users on Stocktwits are divided over the stock's recent rally, with many attributing the surge not to tax credits or Tesla’s lawsuit settlement but to optimism surrounding Rivian’s anticipated fourth-quarter earnings in February. Rivian’s stock has lost 46% of its value this year, while Tesla has gained 40% year to date.

Memphis fights off No. 2 UConn in OT in Maui Invitational thriller

Though he was victorious in his AEW debut, Big Boom AJ didn’t make it out of his pro wrestling return unscathed. AEW announced today that AJ Befumo suffered a broken foot during his match against QT Marshall on the Full Gear pre-show. The promotion wished Befumo a speedy recovery and said they look forward to welcoming him back in the future at any time. “While bringing the BOOM! against @QTMarshall on this past Saturday’s #AEWFullGear Zero Hour, Big BOOM! @ajbefumo suffered a broken foot but managed to fight valiantly and earn the victory in his #AEW debut in front of his son, #BigJustice, friend #TheRizzler, more than 10,000 fans at @PruCenter and millions of fans from around the world watching at home,” AEW wrote. “AEW looks forward to welcoming Big BOOM! A.J., Big Justice and the whole Costco Guys crew back anytime, and we wish him a speedy recovery.” Befumo still appeared at the post-Full Gear media scrum despite his injury. According to AEW wrestler Anthony Bowens, Befumo also stayed backstage for hours taking pictures with people and signing autographs. “You can talk sh*t all you want but @ajbefumo not only went out and lit up the audience..he broke his foot, finished the match and I watched him make sure he fulfilled every pic and video request backstage hours afterwards. Respect,” Bowens tweeted. Befumo, 48, is a former indie wrestler who originally competed as “The American Powerchild” Eric Justice in the 1990s-2000s. His return to the ring for AEW came after a rise to social media fame on TikTok, where he and his son Big Justice (Eric Befumo) are known as the Costco Guys. They rate food products and document their trips to Costco on their father-son channel. Big Justice accompanied his father to the ring at Full Gear on Saturday and got involved in the match, spearing Marshall when Aaron Solo tried to interfere on Marshall’s behalf. A Power Boom from Befumo then got the victory. AEW owner Tony Khan has had high praise for Befumo and Big Justice, saying he’s learned a lot about marketing from them.

(The Center Square) – Billionaire and advisor to President-elect Donald Trump Elon Musk was denied by a judge this week a $56 billion compensation package for his work as CEO of Tesla, the successful electric automaker that pioneered EV technology in the U.S. The package had been approved by more than 70% of Tesla's board of directors. A Tesla shareholder who owned just nine shares of stock in the company sued to block the 2018 compensation agreement. In addition to blocking the package this week, the judge in the case, Delaware Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, awarded the plaintiff's attorneys $345 million, which Reuters reported is “one of the largest fee awards ever in securities litigation.”

"Looking ahead, our priorities for fiscal year 2025 include launching LYMPHIRTM through our majority-owned subsidiary, Citius Oncology, driving the clinical and regulatory strategies for Mino-Lok® and Halo-Lido, fortifying our financial position, and applying a disciplined approach to resource allocation. We expect to launch LYMPHIR in the first half of 2025 and distribute CTOR shares to Citius Pharma shareholders by the end of the year, pending favorable market conditions. Our goal remains to deliver value for patients, healthcare providers, and shareholders. With a clear vision and a strong team, we are well-positioned to execute on our mission of bringing innovative therapies to market," added Mazur. FULL YEAR 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS: Liquidity As of September 30, 2024 , the Company had $3.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2024 , the Company had 7,247,243 common shares outstanding, as adjusted for the 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock, effected on November 25, 2024 . During the year ended September 30, 2024 , the Company received net proceeds of $13.8 million from the issuance of equity. The Company expects to raise additional capital to support operations. Research and Development (R&D) Expenses R&D expenses were $11.9 million for the full year ended September 30, 2024 , compared to $14.8 million for the full year ended September 30, 2023 . The decrease in R&D expenses primarily reflects the completion of the Halo-Lido trial and completion of activities related to the regulatory resubmission for LYMPHIR, offset by shutdown costs associated with the end of the Phase 3 trial for Mino-Lok. We expect research and development expenses to decrease in fiscal year 2025 as we continue to focus on the commercialization of LYMPHIR through our majority-owned subsidiary, Citius Oncology and because we have completed the Phase 3 trial for Mino-Lok. General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses G&A expenses were $18.2 million for the full year ended September 30, 2024 , compared to $15.3 million for the full year ended September 30, 2023 . The increase was primarily due to costs associated with pre-launch and market research activities associated with LYMPHIR. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs, professional fees for legal, regulatory, accounting and corporate development services, and investor relations expenses. Stock-based Compensation Expense For the full year ended September 30, 2024 , stock-based compensation expense was $11.8 million as compared to $6.6 million for the prior year. The increase of $5.2 million is largely due to the grant of options under the Citius Oncology stock plan. Stock-based compensation expense under the Citius Oncology stock plan was $7.5 million during the year ended September 30, 2024 , compared to $2.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2023 , as the plan was initiated in July 2023 . For the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, stock-based compensation expense also includes $47,547 and $130,382 , respectively, for the NoveCite stock option plan. In fiscal years 2023 and 2024, we granted options to our new employees and additional options to other employees, our directors, and consultants. Net loss Net loss was $39.4 million , or ($5.97) per share for the year ended September 30, 2024 , compared to a net loss of $32.5 million , or ($5.57) per share for the year ended September 30, 2023 , as adjusted for the reverse stock split. The increase in net loss reflects an increase in operating expense of $5.3 million offset by a decrease of $1.6 million in other income. Operating expense increased due to increases in stock-based compensation and general and administrative expenses, which were offset by decreased research and development expense.
