Alex is my cousin and I am a client of Sarissa. I don't try to pry information out of Alex about the specifics of the Ariad situation even though I am holding substantial shares on my own. I will tell you the Alex operates on the highest of standards and if he feels that someone is not doing 'the right thing' then he will look to replace them with some who will. I can assure you that the Sarissa team is very smart and experienced. Of all the companies in the health care space Ariad is Sarissa's major focus and they like the stock very much.

My thinking is just grit your teeth and go for the ride. You will be rewarded, although Alex asked me how many shares I had and he told me that that was enough, anything can happen!

Sarissa will do what is right to unlock shareholder value with or without others kicking and screaming along the way. It'll be interesting see how it plays out.
