NorthWest Biotherapeutics Inc (NWBO)

[Gus McCrae]

My point is that it is unlikely that NWBO has had any kind of a deal, tentative or otherwise, with Merck for years, and that they should not accept an offer without shopping around. I was just giving an example of one of the main reasons a public company would enter into an agreement to sell itself without shopping around. There are certainly other reasons.

It wouldn't shock me if Merck ends up buying NWBO, but it would shock me if a sale was announced with any BP within weeks (or even months) of the release of TLD. I would love for it to happen though.
