Milestone Payments. One-time payments upon the achievement of the milestones (each, a “Milestone” and collectively, the “Milestones”) described in this Section 3.1(b), by wire transfer of immediately available funds within thirty (30) calendar days after the achievement of each such Milestone (each, a “Milestone Payment” and collectively, the “Milestone Payments”):
And we know all 9 milestones have been blanked out for confidentially reasons.. (keep potential acquirers in the dark to stay below radar? ... do another underhanded deal with the rights to the IP?)
So the question is whether starting a phase 2 is a milestone? If so, how much. We know when it is supposed to be paid.
IMO I would call this a milestone likely on the blanked out list. And a material event given zero value is associated with the IP at this time. Mgmt has been sent several emails by several folks pointing out the trial start and importance of the IP to company value and the lack of support thereof.
So by Oct 23 (assuming the start date is milestone date) IMO mgmt will need to disclose milestone payment. The ASM is Oct 9th so we may not hear anything. I would think it would be a topic of discussion at the ASM and I would encourage attendants to ask the tough question. I also think mgmt needs to be aware of the lack of "coverage" of the IP on the cc's.
Doing some research I came across a few articles which included discussions of milestones: Here is a typical example:
