TikTok will be sold within 'coming days' to either Microsoft and Walmart or Oracle, in a $20-30billion. A source said Oracle was the preferred buyer and that their offer - which has the backing of Trump - is $10billion in cash and $10billion in Oracle stock.
Half of TikTok's profits will go back to ByteDance for two years, their sources said.
Larry Ellison, who owns Oracle, is a Trump donor. Trump backed Oracle as the buyer earlier this month, calling it a 'great company' and saying: 'I think that Oracle would be certainly somebody that could handle it.'
Biotech company Novacyt has applied to the US Food and Drug Administration for the Emergency Use Approval for its novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) test, developed by its subsidiary Primerdesign.
The approval will enable the use of nCoV test for clinical diagnostic testing in laboratories temporarily.
The company claims that it is working with the FDA to indicate consistency and performance of the test for emergency use.
Novacyt is also in discussion with several NHS hospitals and Public Health England on the nCoV test.
The firm has already sold a limited number of tests to some hospitals so that they can validify.
James Draper, CEO of Bidstack, commented: "It's a bit of a pinch yourself moment for me - and a huge coup for the Company. As the man who not only led the resurgence of PlayStation in this console generation, but also diversified their product offerings globally he will be a valuable asset, adding his wealth of experience and contacts, to the incredible team we've put together. For myself and the rest of the management team, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from a proven executive leader."

Appointment of Andrew House to Advisory Committee
Former PlayStation Chief joins Advisory Committee
Bidstack Group Plc (AIM: BIDS), the native in-game advertising group, is delighted to announce the appointment of Andrew House to its Advisory Committee.
Andrew began working with Sony when he joined its international PR team in Tokyo in 1990. Five years later he moved over to the PlayStation division, which at that time was in its fledgling stage of operation, with the task of increasing PlayStation's audience from young gamers to mainstream consumers. In 1996 he was promoted to VP of Marketing for Sony Entertainment Corporation Americas ("SECA") and then made the step up to SVP of SECA in 2002. Andrew's progress continued as he served as CMO for Sony between 2005-2009, and he then went on to serve as the co-CEO, then CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe before leading as Group CEO between 2013-2017.
One of Andrew's career highlights at Sony Computer Entertainment was the record breaking launch of Playstation 4 in 2013. With 106 million units sold worldwide, PS4 outsold many home game consoles including Microsoft XBox 360, Nintendo Wii and Switch.
In addition Andrew concentrated Sony's network services strategy around PlayStation Network which, by March 2019, had more than 94 million monthly active users, and its premium subscription service PlayStation Plus which, at the same time, had over 36 million subscribers.
Andrew also oversaw the launch of U.S. TV streaming service PlayStation Vue, designed to complement subscription video-on-demand services, and spearheaded Sony's entry into the virtual-reality market with the development and launch of PlayStation VR which, by the time he left Sony, had sold over one million headsets in just over a year, making it the most successful high-end VR headset.
In 2016, Andrew oversaw the merger of Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Network Entertainment to form Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Andrew House said: "The gaming industry has always been about evolution and progression and striving for solutions that make games more fun, more relatable and more entertaining for the community. Against a background of disruption to monetization strategies within games, I believe that Bidstack's approach of contextually relevant ads can generate revenue without disrupting the user experience. It's a business that can make a significant impact in the space."
