Doc, I don't think the company has made the litigation a problem. My view has always been that so much of the company's story is told by shareholders. Now that so many shareholders talk more about the lawsuit and criminals than the company, DCVax, the science and the doctors (obviously it is much more emotionally satisfying to some to do this), the less interesting it is as a potential investment by random people who happen to see information about the company. I would not invest in a "litigation" opportunity. One of my friends works at a hedge fund. He has been telling other friends that there is a fantastic litigation opportunity for a penny stock that is valued at a very low valuation. If they win, it will create windfall. That story never struck me as investible. Not sure why it would be investable here.

So it's not the company telling that story. The company is hard at work advancing DCVax-L as they always have been. That's great. But they previously basically left a vacuum which many shareholders have filled in terms of telling the story, talking about the phase 3, the results, the potential for combination therapies, the dedicated doctors and courageous patients. But when a company like this sues the market makers there is ALWAYS pent up fury, that seems to get released by people talking NON-STOP about the litigation and "criminals". The end result is someone hears about DCVax-L, they look it up and see chatter about criminals and theft and manipulation ... They don't know anything yet, mind you. They read these things and they flee. Then you have people selling it as a litigation play... if they can settle quickly, they can make some bucks. That's an even worse story. It makes it seem like a scam in fact.

But all of these narratives are being seeded into all social media, by our fellow "longs". People who are so angry, they express themselves non-stop daily about the lawsuits and citadel and all kinds of stuff. But it will never cause this stock to be a meme stock. 1) none of our fellow shareholders seem to have the multimedia skills that entertained during the height of the now passed "meme stock" craze, during the pandemic; and 2) this is an OTC stock so the WSB crowd ignores all OTC stocks.

But more importantly, it just tells a terrible story and it's much harder to find the actual story for all of the weeds about criminals, litigation, and other garbage that has nothing to do with the investment proposition. I honestly think it is our fellow shareholders driving down the price daily.

They can't stop expressing their intense, almost insane anger and telling the same horrible narrative that is not related to investment.

We should not be far below where we were when they announced the purchase of Flaskworks. We have so many great things since. But when I'm searching on twitter, quite frequently, all I see is lawsuit crap. I don't want to share that awful stuff. If confuses new people and effectively our fellow investors might as well be working for Citadel and the shorts. I know they mean well, but they are doing the job of shorts. They've been turned into trolls, just very unattractive. Even I give in to the moment here or there and express my anger. But I don't post about the lawsuit every day, day after day, nonstop, as if that is the investment proposition of NWBO.

I still believe in DCVax-L, and NWBO and the management team. I think our fellow shareholders are doing themselves in. It is something I predicted before the lawsuit was filed. The worry that "lawsuit" would become the primary narrative that certain shareholders chatted about non-stop on social media, because it "feels good" to yell and scream sometimes. But it's awful.
