Good points. But don't you think news like this leaks out? Don't you think we would see a sp higher then .26?

LP is way to smart a lawyer to deal herself 8M shares if the "deal" is already done. That would be setting herself up for a lawsuit or worse.

There is no "deal" that brings in anything over the .25 or so number.

If there is any deal, it some some sort of very soft deal that does little for the stock.

Great post BSB and nice summary of what I also feel is happening based on recent SEC filings. Patience is a virtue and many of us longs have had patience....we have rounded third base and closing in on a home run IMHO.

Message in reply to:

Why I think we `Are done `:

1. Mandatory Share Conversion:

When I asked my head Equity trader what that would normally mean he answered ‘the only reason is M&A ‘

2. The `Multiple Sources`:

“late stage; parallel negotiations with different unrelated third parties; regarding "substantial alternative potential financings"; "Company anticipates the accounting and disclosure could be impacted by the completion of this process."

3. Ridiculous forward-looking statement

With every caveat possible, this statement was not that of a $100m m/c battered CEO who’s desperate for help who just loaned the company $5m.

4. The DATA:

Or more relevantly the lack of PR over the data. There was only a minimum or PR over data that smashed the previous year’s data.
This lack of PR was not that of a $100m m/c battered CEO who’s desperate for help and who just loaned the company $5m. It’s actually more in line with the actions of a CEO whose been told by a Large Pharma that they want to spread the word on completion of a deal with us.

5. The Comp Share Awards: same as 1, all liabilities that impact the share count have to be out in the open prior to corporate action so the shareholders of the company that buys us have total transparency on the impact of the acquisition.

So, none of what`s been going on are the actions of a beleaguered company with a battered CEO.
I do not hear the echo of ASCO`s ` Please help us ` in anything above.
Lots of other stars are in alignment, none less than the abject failure of other relevant cancer trials and what about the sale of Cognate, we sold it because we don’t need it.
We may get Sawston announcement first which will be good but do not read into that, that with some cash the need of a deal is allayed, because its actually irrelevant the deal is already done.
I was convinced of a Licensing deal but I now think its Buy Out.

Price
Using JUNO & KITE we`d expect $10bn for L, good will for D adds $3bn = $13pps
If we get bought at anything greater than half of that thank your lucky stars because there’s no doubt we were all but history on several occasions.
Do not kid yourself that any sale price below $20bn (PCYC etc) is an outrage, because you`re all amateurs and you will do as amateurs do, which is run losses and cut profits
You will take more money from this from what you may initially think is a cheap price for buyout than you ever would thinking you will hold it once it pops because you wont.

PLEASE NO REPLIES I DON’T CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS, IM WRITING THIS TO SUPPORT THE GENUINE LONGS AND GENERALLY POSITIVE POSTERS.

BSB wrote "If we get bought at anything greater than half of that thank your lucky stars"

So did you mean $6.5pps or $19.5pps...???


Admittedly, I am a rube, but I don't believe LP sells for less than $20pps...

Thanks BSB, very interesting breadcrumbs you are following. I'm grateful you are sharing your thoughts with the board. I would not have thought of asking about the mandatory share conversion.

Best of luck to Patients, NWBO, and Longs!

Though I’d rather a long-term opportunity, I have generally been thinking along the same lines for a bit. The mandatory conversion was the first strong hint.

The recent SEC filing RE negotiations and the comp award, further bolstered my own strong suspicion that m&a transaction is very likely.

Additionally, a company in this situation without an m&a option would typically be discussing an active plan to re-list on a major exchange before release of topline data. There is no sign of such planning. To me, this is the biggest giveaway/tell.

Great post BSB!

A BO would make sense

NWBO is a micro company in the world of BP. To bring DCVax to the fore, NWBO will not only need to move it past the FDA hurdles, but compete with major established companies and interests at large. (Those interests in some shape or form are what I believe contribute to the trolling of NWBO.)

And it's not just pharma. For instance, oncologists (in the US at least) tend to benefit from prescribing chemo:

Among cancer doctors, it is called the chemotherapy concession. At a time when overall spending on prescription drugs is soaring, cancer specialists are pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars each year by selling drugs to patients -- a practice that almost no other doctors follow.

The cancer specialists can make huge sums -- often the majority of their practice revenue -- from the difference between what they pay for the drugs and what they charge insurers and government programs. But some private health insurers are now studying ways to reduce these profits, and the issue is getting close attention in Congress.

and
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3565179/

In 2015, Forbes published an article about the cancer revenue per year: at the time, it was around $100B.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewherper/2015/05/05/cancer-drug-sales-approach-100-billion-and-could-increase-50-by-2018/#1fb1fdee2dc6

Then you have to negotiate with insurances and their tiers, payers, etc.

And of course, the Europeans, the Japanese, the Chinese equivalent of the FDA and the rest.

For the sake of patients, I really would prefer a major player to buy NWBO out to get DCVax out sooner in this market landscape. It may not be maximizing NWBO shareholders profit, but it would be good for us Longs and definitely for patients.

Best of Luck to Patients, NWBO, and Longs!
