[Poor Man -]

Despite this being a “trillion dollar” company, there’s surprisingly no tenders offers that would suggest a hostile takeover. There are no Barbarians at the Gate.

If Apple or some other trillion dollar company had a market cap of only $550 million, poison pills or no poison pills, there would a strong push to entice existing shareholders with an attractive tender offer for a 60 cent per share company, and then force management to sell the whole enchilada.

But that has not happened. A buyout is off the table for perhaps a couple of years. What’s likely to happen for now — as others have suggested— is a more modest license/ or partnership deal that’s already been agreed and a function of MHRA approval to satisfy effectiveness. And once there’s less blue sky and more tangible performance, and a nice appreciation in the stock price, then just maybe that buyout is back on the table.

My hope is that the deal has elements of each a buyout, partnership and licensing( but that’s my blue sky thinking.

We’re past conspiracy theories. Those days are over.

This is exactly why there has been so much opposition and why preventing an unwanted buyout designed to hinder this process is the next order of business for longs. Best wishes.
