Ziggy, if Anavex would agree to sell XX% to BP, the price would be many times higher than the price on the exchange at that point in time.
Why? Because if BP wants a piece of Anavex, it is privy to the undisclosed data of any of the trials and, as such, it knows the beneficial powers of 2-73 to address a myriad of diseases and that Anavex has a gold mine in 2-73, and, eventually, in 3-71.
Where the price goes, after such an agreement is announced, does not mean the BP buy is dilutive.
