Today will be a down day as everyone was awaiting the TIme article. I suspect we retreat back to .19 and then move up for the big run from mid-Feb.to mid-March.
I would assume negotiations took place well in advance of yesterdays date although we have no way of knowing for sure. If I can confirm, I will post.
Dr. Lanza's agreement contains non-solicitation, confidentiality and non-competition covenants, and a requirement that Dr. Lanza assign all invention and intellectual property rights to us. The term of the agreement expires February 1, 2009, which may be renewed by the parties in writing. (page 102) http://www.pinksheets.com/pink/quote/quote.jsp?symbol=actc
