DAVID BRYANT6 Jun 2025 17:10
Apologies if already posted. David Bryant's only role in life right now (apart from new position with Avacta) is as an advisor to Healthcare Royalty.
'Mr. Bryant, who is based in the UK, will assist HCRx in identifying potential royalty acquisition and credit opportunities across the United Kingdom ..'
'HCRx closed a new vehicle that will focus primarily on providing debt solutions to emerging biopharmaceutical companies. '
'HCRx believes emerging biopharmaceutical companies are increasingly interested in utilizing debt financing to help fund new product launches and product development. '
Now why would Bryant take up a Non-Exec position with Avacta if they weren't a strong contender for a bit of dosh from HCRx? and why was the position announced just before the Results and not at the AGM?
