Another great update tonight. Every Covid 19 vaccine manufacturer want to use Open, a good dozen of them. Existing contracts recently announced Open are paid 1/3 up front then milestone payments over the next 3/4 months. He has guided the market to expect more contracts. He wants to SP to move up nicely on the back of good news flow. On the deal announced Monday he expects the clinic to be up and running on either 25th or 26th May. They will be doing 3000 tests per day 24/7, no extra staff needed. He was more hesitant on his exit strategy as the company could be worth 'hundreds of millions' and therefore substantial value at year end. He was complimentary on Roche but also said more than enough room for both of us. He knows that banks in the city want to test their staff, also health workers, GP's. He is clearly excited but not over the top. A great investment for 2020 IMHO. GLA
