+   :depth: 2
+
+|NCS| delivers reference software and supporting libraries for developing low-power wireless applications with Nordic Semiconductor products in the nRF52, nRF53, nRF70, and nRF91 Series.
+The SDK includes open source projects (TF-M, MCUboot, OpenThread, Matter, and the Zephyr RTOS), which are continuously integrated and redistributed with the SDK.
+
+Release notes might refer to "experimental" support for features, which indicates that the feature is incomplete in functionality or verification, and can be expected to change in future releases.
+To learn more, see :ref:`software_maturity`.
+
+Highlights
+**********
+
+This patch release adds changes on top of the :ref:`nRF Connect SDK v2.4.0 <ncs_release_notes_240>`, :ref:`nRF Connect SDK v2.4.1 <ncs_release_notes_241>`, :ref:`nRF Connect SDK v2.4.2 <ncs_release_notes_242>` and :ref:`nRF Connect SDK v2.4.3 <ncs_release_notes_243>`.
+The changes have an effect on Matter and Bluetooth®.
+
+This release adds workaround for Anomaly 165 and Anomaly 168 that is affecting the nRF5340 SoC.
+It also adds the :ref:`network_core_monitor` library for monitoring the status of the nRF5340 processor's network core.
