MNTA: The potential milestones from NVS attributable to M178 comprised only 8% ($15M) of the $178M of potential milestones payable by NVS under the companies’ amended 2006 collaboration:
Although today’s SEC filing says that some of the $15M attributable to M178 could still be received, I don’t think investors should count on it. Thus, the realistic milestone figure from the 2006 NVS collaboration is now $163M, which consists of milestones pertaining to Lovenox and Copaxone.
