I see my no vote as a 'non-yes' vote until management explains to the owners of the company why this deal makes more sense than what appears in statements released. I seek further clarification of ambiguous issues and explanation re why the deal makes sense for the current share price and number of shares. I believe in the science and the potential of this company but it is equally important to know if these scientists running this company know how to negotiate multi-million dollar deals to enhance shareholder value and move the company forward in the process. If they have other motivations then I want to know about that also. My future is at stake here.

Perhaps, some of us are even bigger dreamers than mgmt about the true potential of this company, with that said I am also aware of the fact this company is small and not in a postion of power. I just think they could be a little more vigilant in their dealings.

Get over it.

Thomas "


This recommendation of Thomas to shareholders implies that shareholder rights are limited to buying and selling shares of the company. Fortunately for shareholders, Thomas has no idea about how it works. Management is liable to the shareholders, because it is the shareholder who owns the company, not management. Management must be transparent in all they do on behalf of the shareholders and provide enough information to justify their support.

Secondly, if shareholders have given their verdict about how this management has performed, I think a pps of $1,19 says enough: very little confidence.

Finally, the shareholders here on this board (and let me talk for myself) have been supporting the company for many years and have weathered periods of great delay and uncertainty. On top of that they have lost large amounts of money on their initial investment. To advise them not to exercise their only shareholder right (voting power) and look for greener pastures, reflects a total lack of respect for "hard core" shareholders.

I sincerely hope management does not think this way.
