George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
Have I just seen nearly 300K about to come thru late.
II's probably worked out what price these bond shares wojld hit at and how many and put their orders in at a buy back price today.
6m traded today...obviously a strong market at these prices...should climb going into Prelims...
Have any of you ever taken out a Mortgage...yes the payments may hurt initially but it allows you to buy a house. Now if the addition of an extension, layout changes, insulation, upgrades and decorating add considerable value...wouldn't you take on the project. This is exactly what Avacta have done...took out a loan, bought a company added another one to the business, plus Affimer tech, jiggled around with staffing etc...question is, at what point does it become worth more than they owe. We should get more insight later this week when they issue the Prelims.
At this point I think all the bad news/hurty stuff is now out of the way...from here on we shojld start to see more positive news flow.
Bond shares being laped up...our European Fund buying more perhaps...?
Again would such a fund buy in the raise, then wait for the next tranch of Bond shares to be available and buy them up too if they knew DX was going to be sold and the bond paid off...mmmm!!!
No TR1...no official trading in closed period if you have someone on the Board...mmmm!!!
Doesn't anyone have a gut feeling something is happening back stage...or is it just me any my conspiracy theories/wishful thinking...lol!

What's the chances Avacta may have or maybe moving to Breakthrough therapy designation...the perameters seem to fit the bill when it comes to the introduction of the new 2W Trial plus timescales given by Avacta.

McGurk...I know it's a requirement but if the investor hasn't 'officially' informed the company (Avacta) of their position then the company cannot issue a TR1. Fine lines...and perhaps one reason the investor was not named. Had exactly this happen with another share I was invested in years ago. TR1 was finally issued 6 weeks after raise. I spoke to the FD and he said they couldn't issue the TR1 until the were officially told by the investor. The TR1 was also for over 6%. Just saying it can happen, not saying it has.
TR1's are a joke...the investor has to tell the company what their position is and the company issues the TR1. Many'many i stances of late or none reporting. Also many only report once the total position is secured not after every reportable threshold.
Guys I'm not putting my comments out as fact just a possible reason for recent events.
Energyshares...'Late last year Avacta was about to sign a LD with a major BP, hence the “dont worry about the funding “ comment.'
I put it to you AS's comment re financing wasn't about BP it was about the likes of Gilde (a European Specialised Healthcare Fund). They have secured fundind through the Placing and will continue to secure Avactas ownership and commercialisation of AVA6000. At the same time there is a plan/direction being worked on for the DX side of the business...separation or sale.
There has also been a revamping of the TX website and pipeline focus and video coms introduced on the website too. Is this all just Avactas doing or has there been some new influence/input from someone who knows how the heathcare /BP investor market works.
An investor like Gilde putting in £10 to £20m with potentially more to come would take Avacta to a whole new level in a heart beat and should it come to pass in an RNS announcement then the SP would see a very nice uptick...they would be what kicks off serious market interest...
If Eliott Isn't working his Levicept investor contacts like Medicxi and Gilde then he's the one to go IMO not AS...
Question:
If the likes of Gilde Healthcare wanted to invest £10-£20m in the likes of Avacta what would their terms be?
Could they be something on the lines of:
50p entry point.
Directors to invest too.
Seat on the Board.
REX raise to create 40 day quiet period.
What could they also bring to the table.
Buyer for DX so Bond can be cleared.
Partner to help with P2/P3 Trials.
Key US contacts for US subsidiary and.or US Listing.
See what they've been doing for Lava Therapeutics...
I still think something is brewing. To not name the European Specialised Healthcare Fund but signpost the fact one invested and also the fact the raise was increased by a further £5m is odd especially combined with the updated website dropping DX...they could still have a DX Header in the Main Menu but no it's a small footnote??!!!
I know I banged on about Medicxi but they too are one of Levicepts investors and I was hoping someone might have picked up on Gilde Healthcare who say they are:
Gilde Healthcare is a specialized healthcare investor managing over €2.5 billion ($2.5 billion) across two fund strategies: Venture&Growth and Private Equity.
Gilde Healthcare is headquartered in Utrecht
(the Netherlands) with local offices in Frankfurt
(Germany) and Boston (USA).
Avacta said that a European specialist healthcare fund had invested in the Placing....OK so one says Specialized abd the other says Specialist...what's the difference??? enough to try and throw us of the scent or what.
Elliot Forster Chairman Avacta was appointed CEO of Levicept end last year. Medicxi are also investors.

Guilde Healthcare fits the description...
Connection...they are investors in Elliots other company...'Gilde Healthcare
