I agree. The Cooper Companies had announced definitive agreements to acquire Sauflon Pharmaceuticals Ltd for 1.2 billion back in June 2014 and was supposed to have completed the deal by October of last year. I don't know if that deal ever happened but if it did, you could see how the Cooper Compnaies would not have much cash "laying around." The deal would more than likely come from the backend or royalties, not from any large upfront cash deal. Cooper Companies, I'm sure, really wants this deal to go through. They can see the payout in the long term. So they may spend a little longer making the deal than November 6. I don't know if Google would hold back in making an offer if COO fails in it's request for early rights to branding and use of the joint technology that they and EPGL developed. After all EPGL did throw a "put up or shut up" ultimatum at Google a little while back. But money will come to EPGL by someone. The technology is just too valuable and EPGL has the jump on everyone else.
This should get very interesting over the next 3 or 4 months. It's certainly not a time to sell shares, especially when most are holding. If you sell now, it will be extremely difficult to get back in. Even now there are not any appreciable amounts of stock available to investors.
