RE: NO Phase 3 Trial!20 Sep 2021 12:27
Not saying it will happen, but there is specific mention of it in the original RNS (see below). Surely that would be an RNS event so until we hear otherwise, 8% it is. The other thing to note is that the Β£19.2m that is often quoted is the minimum baseline, there are further costs to be added, just not yet quantified so could be north of that number. The SGS/CIZ partnership includes the companion diagnostic so yes, different terms and a like for like comparison with Vela is perhaps too simplistic.
Oct 20 RNS - Under the terms of the Agreement, pursuant to either commercialisation route for the Asset, SGS will pay Vela 8 per cent. of proceeds received by SGS in excess of Β£19.2 million and after deduction of sums payable to the major pharmaceutical company and certain funders, and provision for taxation (the "Economic Interest"). Vela's Economic Interest shall be renegotiated should SGS receive further funding from third parties in the future.
