Thank you David for the introduction.

Dear Minister Sergeenko,

We hope this email finds you well. Thank you for your support in making the HCV Management Center a reality for patients.

In terms of the remaining balance of USD 99,000, Gilead is open to considering the reallocation of funds to other related projects. However, we will need a
proposal outlining how these funds will be spent (1-2 pages) and a detail budget.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Dear Korab,

Thank you for the prompt response, and for the opportunity to work with you.

Let me introduce to you Minister David Sergeenko, whom I am adding in CC to this mail.

I believe you are correct and different figures are only a result of fluctuating currency rate.

Furthermore I am attaching to this mail several photos of the Centre and youtube link of the video.

Thank you, David for the report. We’ll let you know if we have any additional questions. In addition,
I believe someone may have reached out to Graeme/Clifford about the remaining project balance although they quoted a different number—probably due to fluctuating currency rate. Do you happen to have any pictures of the completed building?
