SMMT:

I heard the call a few things from memory:
- Gives them cash through end of 2018
- Don't look for another deal (at least in DMD)
- May be an opportunity for drug in Becker's MD
- Monotherapy is the current focus
- Said had others interested but by comments seemed only SRPT made an offer. Said something to the effect of interest before but once got approval more interested.
- Said have had partnership discussions on antibiotic

Here are @beauregard2 comments/notes

SMMT -

OK you were right but the upfront still puts it in the size that I wouldn't consider it a significant deal

Perhaps not so significant for SRPT but VERY significant for SMMT being they were close to bankruptcy. I'm happy to see the nice up-front and fact they also get low to high-teen royalties in Europe, on top of keeping full rights in the U.S. where it was noted in the CC that there may be 17K DMD patients here. All told, I don't think I've ever been involved with a stock where there has been this obvious of a telegraphed event to come. Harder part for me now is deciding what to do as I still think the stock is really cheap if they demonstrate PoC in clinic but, obviously, there is still plenty of risk that the lead drug could fail in clinic too.
