So why would a company file and come to an agreement like this? Is it typically because of a partnership or a buyout?

ATNM also did an amendment last week which I have no clue what it means..... some have said it paves way for tutes to buy in.

ATNM’s PR on the standstill agreement with MSKCC:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/actinium-memorial-sloan-kettering-cancer-180000927.html

Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc…and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center ("MSK") today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement providing for certain liquidity matters and sale restrictions in respect of the shares of Actinium stock that MSK received as a charitable donation and intends to divest pursuant to MSK policies.

…Under the terms of the agreement, MSK has agreed to forebear from transferring or otherwise disposing of its approximately 5.7 million Actinium shares (other than pursuant to a piggyback registration as described below) until the start of the Actimab-A Phase 2 clinical study (but, in no event until later than March 31, 2016).

Thereafter MSK shall be permitted to sell its shares subject to a weekly volume limitation of 150,000 shares (which limit may be increased to up to 250,000 shares per week to the extent any prior weekly allotments were not fully used) and applicable law so long as MSK maintains at least 25% of its current shareholding in Actinium through December 31, 2016.

Actinium has granted MSK piggyback registration rights that would be triggered in the event Actinium were to engage in a public registered offering of its shares for its own account where other shareholders are participating as selling shareholders or where such public registered offering is for the account of other selling shareholders. In addition, following December 31, 2016, Actinium has granted MSK unlimited Form S-3 registration rights with respect to its shares.

I.e., MSKCC can sell all of its remaining ATNM shares without restriction beginning in 2017.
