Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

[smarterer]

I do not think anyone, not the buyers or their super smart investment bankers can come up with a value for Amarin, there are way to many unknowns, Amarin needs to GIA for at least two years so these experts have meaningful numbers to work with

Amarin may GIA for a couple of years, or even build itself into a BP from its current small size (relative to BP), but if BP sees a potential fit, they aren't waiting two years to see the data to more accurately tune their value estimations. By then everyone will know AMRN's worth; the advantage in buying another company is understanding its value better and sooner than your competitors.

There's currently plenty of info to work with. There are two major hold ups to an offer at present, IMO: the patent issue, and the label. Both will get resolved in a month or two at most, and could get answered within a week or less. Once resolved, the race among BP is on to see who find's Amarin to be the most compelling fit, and is willing to pay to make that happen. If no-one sees sufficient value, JT seems prepared to GIA.
