Cytodyn, Inc is not a threat to big pharma till the FDA approves the drug. Once that happens then all hell will break loose.
Big Pharma must protect their revenue base. To do that they have to get control of the company.
There will be either a buy out or some sort of a joint venture.
It will be good for both parties. Unlimited cash to operate world wide. Exposure to the market from big pharma can't be met by Cytodyn for many years to come. Its a win / win for both parties.
