Sounds like they are reaching to me... Don't be surprised if they lose a few of those tendered shares. Capt are you back tracking? What else should we expect before it comes out? I dont believe you stated something like this coming out. I would to like to see a higher offer prior to Jan 21st. Very possible!!
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!! I saw it on Yahoo and showed to a few more of non tendering investors. Thank you for reminding us and I will not tender until a $100 is offered!!!
Gee wiz!!! Glad you agree with me!! The stance 67% of shareholders is a sign how awful this deal is and will not go thru. 6 million is a long way to go.
I CONCUR PRICE WILL GO HIGHER To much IP here Capt to ignore. Your points have been taken but mostly ignored.. I have to go on my DD and realize that this company is coming into their own. Their past history is no longer an issue. I thinkn PW will be in a position of strength when another offer comes in. I ask you one question Capt. Why would 67% refuse the tender? TIA
domoarigatomrroboto really believes more people will untender their shares now. Realizing that a huge turning point is upon us. Since Astellas had to extend the offering they are realizing that they have to raise the offer. But He also states that someone else is buying large blocks of this stock . He also beleives that Astellas will not be in the running. This is going to get good. I cant put my finger on it but 2.2 million shares traded. A million in the last 10 minutes. Hmmm!!
These thoughts and assessment on tender developments sure make sense to me. The 'NO' tending 'professional/institutional' players will NOT walk away from this kind of sure percentage increase again, imo.
For the sake of hoped for eventual success and commercialization of the science, sure hope that non-tendering greed and/or strategic hope, don't see shareholders waking up to a 3.00 stock jan. 22.
LOL non-tendering greed. No I invested in a company that has the cure for blindness. Not greed just looking out for my money. It is called common sense. If it hits 3 then sobeit.. Been there before. No Biggie.. The scare tactics are no longer a threat. 67% has told us so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
QUOTE BS What????? Hard to get ???? Total nonsense??? Comical Really !!! These shares being purchased and sold after the 9th of November can not be used towards the tender count. Looks like someone is purchasing has inside track of what is to come. I hope people are withdrawing their tender and selling. That would be like killing two birds with one stone. Like I said 5.8 million will be hard to get.
So True Big Worm I refuse to let my shares go as well. 5.8 million will be hard to get. Astellass must go much, much higher.
Higher price!! Oh the games the Wall street plays for you to sell your shares. Shame on you for selling your shares. Being gobbled by big hedge funds. Someone is waiting in the wings for this and it is Not Astellas.
beam him up!!! The only thing going higher is this stock price
BLAH BLAH!! All hot air!!! No deal is done!!! Long way to go to get this to Japan. When Astelass makes a offer higher then this insulting bid, It will be show time for Big Pharma. Astellas is nervous...They know now we the shareholders are educated enough to get the word out and the hedgies have been all along since the Nov 9th announcement. Time to BUCK UP!!!! the big money!!! RUTHLESS!!!!
Oh Capt!! It is going very well!! Astellas knows the next shot they fire will open up the bidding. They are embarrased by this outcome. They can extend all they want it is $$$$$$ the holders want. 2years of BSing and finally the sholders got to speak. PW knew this. Extend this all they want will not help or shake the shares from the smart ones. Not like some people we know. It my responsablitiy to hold my shares so Astellas does not take this science out of this country. Wooo Hoooo just the beginning!!!
Same to you Elysee1! 90 other stocks? wow!! This one seemed to have owned you. Good Luck!
I agree!!! The longer this drags out the better it is for the longs. Astellas wants this done quickly and quietly. Not happening with icellers. If Astellas was smart they would have made a higher from the get go and try to get the %90 on the first tender. Now they have to deal with the press and the Icellers. I hope Astellas is knocked out altogehter from the bidding. A billion to Big Pharma is nothing. This party is just getting started.
I agree but I think it goes higher to more like 11.50 to 12 range. If Astellas wants this which I believe they do they will pony up quickly and get it done.
If you thought the odds were in your favor you should have not tender not one single share. If it goes through and you did not tender your shares you still get paid. Might be a week later but you still get your money. You just helped the cause of getting a lower offer by tendering your shares. It shows you are willing to settle for this lowball offer. Why did you sell? If you were invested for 10 years, it was only 2 months ago it was 4 and some change. Talk about irresponsible. Your Money your decision. But talk about making no sense. Tendering at this juncture lol is irresponsible. JMHO.
Really? I am sure you are rooting for us all... Best of luck Elysse!!
LOL!!! I hope your right when it comes to prolonging this tender deal. It allows other Big Pharmas to poke around as well and get a better idea of what OCATA has under the hood. I believe Astellas wanted this deal to go quietly, unnoticed, and uninterupted. Not the case with the icellers in full storm trooper mode. Good for them. Mostlikely did not expect this to go down in this fashion. I tend to believe Astellas comes back with a higher offer rather quickly hoping to put this to bed. I hope they drag(ext) this out and it allows BIG PHARMA to get in the game. For all we know they could very well be! We will get a idea come Friday morning.
hello all it has been awhile. Had to take a break from the stock to somewhat get my life back. Had to forget about it and go about my business so it would not ruin my days, weeks, and months. I would peek every once in awhile but stayed away to get some sanity back. After listening to CC over a week ago I said to myself, well there goes another wasted CC. I said I will see you late winter early spring before getting my hopes and Bang. You know the rest. I think this is the beginning of a Bidding War. Just my 2cts. Not happening for $8.50. No Big Pharma in their right mind will let it go. Pittens. "Feed the birds" Absolutely not!!!!
Hope your wrong...
OH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come OCATA!!! love these 2 stocks
It will be very interesting to see how the market reacts when (and this is just my opinion) the FDA gives clearance to no more immune suppressants for the phase 2 trial. We get a nice pop!! I feel that no deal is done until phase 2 has begun. Obviously we are worth more money the deeper we go into phase 2 and a hell of lot more when we are on the verge of getting break-thru status (BTS). I just have a gut feeling we get BTS. On CNBC tonight "fast money" spoke about how the FDA has been more relaxed giving out more BTS. Mid May this stock begins to move a lot higher. JMHO
Tomorrow is a new day for this company. The best I believe is yet to come. Owning and purchasing this stock for the last 5 years has been brutal to say the least. Those who have believed and stayed the course, Congrats. Not saying we are off to the races but we surely will be on our way. I know I do not post at all, but I felt a Thank you was in order for the regulars. You Know who you are!!! THANK YOU!!! New patent today from my understanding is HUGE!!! Whew!! I finally am in the green today!!!! best of luck to you all, even you bashers. God Bless
GE wants in and they want to mass produce these cells. If it is them or whomever it is? How much is it worth to them?
we will soon find out.
On the icell board someone posted an article from the WSJ from April of 2005. Great read about how the Big Pharmas at that time were on the fence about the use of HESC and what they were going to do? GE made no bones about it....they were all in and so was Becton Dickson who deals with WARF (Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation) just like us. Hmmmmmm! That got my attention Going to do more DD on them. Well it is getting exciting for me. It is all about me and my money!!1 They have a street named after me you know!! It is called "One Way". Just like ACTC going One Way and that is up!!!
Elysee if you look at the past current events, it has been really all positive. The default payment was a positive and other than that it was only the Seeking Alpha (b.s. articles that were negative). We all know they are invested in STEM. Maybe a Gag order has been put on from Big Pharma or whoever they are dealing with so not too ruin the deal in progress. I like what I am not hearing. LOL! Ted now the COO? Why? The 30,000 potency eMSC article released recently. Why? negotiation reasons? I believe so. All positive stuff. It is going to get exciting!!!!!
I agree elysee, not the same company by any means. I know they have a deal done with someone.JMHO! But Who!! GE? JNJ? It is driving me crazy. I also believe it will be a really nice deal. To at least get us above a dollar and JV partnership. I see the Big Pharma purchasing the rest of the 750 million shares plus up front money to finish trials and other contingencies involved. If a BP does that and stock goes up after announcement, they already start making money. It is coming. Ted is too smart to cash in existing shares from Lincoln for mere pittens of 35 millions dollars while they could get a lot more from a joint venture purchasing the shares at a dollar or less and holding them. It is coming!!! Bought more today!!
Farviewhill, Boo Hoo!!! We are not so vulnerable as you think! The slides from Matts V last presentation says we are now a phase 2 company. We are worth a lot more. We can apply for BT status also. BIg Pharma knows we are here. They have been here for quite a while . JMHO. You heard it in Garys CC. I know you have too take what he said with a grain of salt but nevertheless it is all good. It is about the timing now and when the Publication will become public. I believe a deal is done and we will not see anymore Dilutive financing. Our last option is to draw down more from Lincoln. I hope we do not have too but it may happen. We are being wooooed or have been wooooed!! Great days ahead. Enjoy the ride!!!

Chuck,
I agree with you!! I also believe GE is the front runner. They want to be part of this Reg Med business. Dr. Stephen Minser respects Dr. Lanza and he knows what ACT brings to the table. From my understanding GE wants to be the producer of stem cell lines (manufacturer). I think they see how much IP ACT has and realize this a win win. If a partnership is formed the deal could be all contingency based. Certain milestones must be reached for ABC to happen. And if ABC does happen then XYZ will take place. JMHO
Nothing has changed except for the obvious of pps. It is all good. So much going in the company that I like!!!
No nonsense PR's (No Fluff)
Dr. Lanza still presenting.
Search for a solid CEO. Could Big Pharma/JV want say in selection?
Great article from MIT today.
Not looking to replace BOD seat. Why?
AG settlement 13 days away. possibly done?
Peer review article will be written and respected by peers. (NEJM)
Me personally, I feel a deal is done and Big Pharma/JV is calling the shots from here. Big money involved. I think we will be pleasantly surprised. All after AG case. JMHO. Please do your own Due Diligence.
It is looking better each day. Ted is getting house inorder!! Looks like they are preparing to release the hounds soon. This AG case is the kink in the chain. GLTA

This is a nice article on the recent paper. Simply put!!!
Farv,
Well said!! I agree with you 100%. I think at this stage it is all about timing. I truly believe they wanted to have the AG lawsuit done by now. That might have put a kink things but not too bad. I think when it happens it will happen quick. You are not a pumper, you are telling it as you see it. There are so many out there that see it the same way, but just do not post. I for one held back for the longest time not posting but came here to this message board just about every other day to see the banter and it was nice to see what you and the rest of the positive posters would say. Good things to come!! and thanks for your posts, I enjoy reading them.
Fair,
I feel the same way. Purchased more yesterday and will continue until it breaks .10. LOL. Talking pennies. I think the next two months are going to be pivotal for this soon be major player in the field of Regn Med. This company JMHO will lead the way in HESC. It is coming! We have to think out side of the box and look down the road for the next 10 to 15 years. Google is! Look at the new company Calico!!! This is going to get good.
Farv, Chill out!!! Your projecting and to me, jmho is wasted time. The last 5 years have been like being against the ropes and Mike Tyson going to town. If was not for the bell (the cowboy 20/400 to 20/40 and cohort 2a other positive events) they gave us reason to hang in. I could think the worst but that would do me no good. I rather think positive. We wont know until it comes out. Your not turning out to be the one in the life raft we eventually throw over board are you? Look at the recent offer from Novartis to buy a no name Stem Cell company located in Israel. 600m million One trick pony!!! Hang in!!! We are almost there.
Simply put!!! I agree!! They know what they have. Maybe an offer was made and realized how much the company (IPs) are worth. Time will tell!
