At no point does Bill state “We have entered”, like Allan does. So I read is though it’s an exciting opportunity and it’s on the table. Nothing more.
Tell me I’m wrong..
Allan Syms, Executive Chairman of Cizzle Biotechnology, said:
"We are delighted to have entered into this Memorandum of Understanding to create an independently financed and locally managed company that can build a business to serve the North American market. Apart from securing important guaranteed minimum and ongoing licensing revenue and free equity participation for the Company, there will be a significant reduction on planned costs associated with clinical trials and product accreditation. This represents a substantial opportunity to expand the Company's presence in North America through securing non-dilutive major investment and in building a high value dedicated US based leadership team to establish operations and drive adoption in this important market."
Bill Behnke, CEO of BIO, commented:
"Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the USA because of the unmet need for a simple blood test to aid physicians in the early detection of cancer. Through a strong appreciation of the potential value of the CIZ1B biomarker in improving patient survival rates we are very excited by the opportunity to secure an exclusive license from Cizzle for the North American market. Our investor group sees this as an important opportunity to make a major difference to lung cancer survival rates and we have already made progress in developing further relationships with major cancer hospitals as we seek endorsement from clinicians and key opinion leaders."
