NorthWest Biotherapeutics Inc (NWBO)

You speculate there is a contract in place between NWBO and Advent ok lets say there is. Contracts can be terminated, business can go bankrupt, Advent can be sold to another third party, contracts can just simply end (which most likely happened between Cognate and NWBO).

We keep forgetting that the legally independent company Advent is in possession of the granted license to manufacture DCVAX products and NWBO is NOT. If NWBO were to be acquired and Advent will remain independent, then the acquiring party is incredible vulnerable in its quest for production. Any BP now owning NWBO will have then unwanted uncertainty if Advent will be able to keep producing DCVAX in the future for the acquiring party yes or no.

The most logic and risk averse for the acquiring party is to protect its investment and to remain in the business of producing DCVAX L is by acquiring the CDMO Advent with the trained staff, the equipment( which after owning NWBO there will be no discussion about who owns what), the property lease and most important the MHRA license to manufacture.

By the way to make it absolutly clear: Good for you LP and Toucan I dont care the value is NWBO anyway, just as long as we longs get rewarded in NWBO buy out
