Chelsea,
Actually I was grateful for Moljens support. You asked a question last night and I answered it as best I could. I felt GF123 misunderstood my answer.
As for the CLNs, they've hardly been discussed here. They're an important element of the total funding package and whilst they may not be converted, I think it's more realistic to assume they will. Most seem to assume that CLNs are bad news and certainly, I have been invested in bios where CLNs have been a disaster but equally, there have been others where they have provided a mutually beneficial and valuable source of funding. It all depends on the quality of the company, how it performs going forwards and how the CLNs are managed.
Redmile won't have accepted interest free CLNs out of the goodness of their heart, they will expect to see a return on the loan. However, despite scaremongering talk of death spiral funding, we need to remember that risk is mitigated by Redmile's long position in Scancell. They are holding just under 91m shares and have more incentive than any of us to see Scancell's share price rise.
Rather than assume they won't be converted, it might be useful to have an open discussion about them as I'm sure some readers here may have some unfounded concerns and some it might help.
I have a bit to say about Redmile (positive) and when I have time, will write up a post.
