I'm not sure the last bit does justice to Dan's efforts to salvage the company so here's a few more tidbits (please correct me if I get anything wrong Soup)
After Dan left, he had quite a busy period where he managed to co-found TRX Biosciences, at which I think he is still currently CBO (according to their website).
He also managed to generate some IP of his own, which he then sold on to a company called Oxilio, in return for shares in that company.
He then helped the Nuformix board at that time to broker a deal with the same Oxilio for rights to use NXP001 (our most advanced IP & treatment for CINV in a market estimated to be worth hundreds of millions), to allow them to develop a novel cancer treatment in return for several milestones of around maybe £25k-£50k? each plus the promise of royalties capped at £2m per year if it ever came to market. At this point we still had rights to continue to progress NXP001 for CINV.
Then (as Soup stated) Dan rejoined to try and salvage the company but has had to do numerous fundraising rounds as the company has no income stream available.
To raise funds, he negotiated a further deal with Oxilio to give them total ownership of NXP001 for I think about £50k-£100k? Although this probably reduced our potential income streams further (as we no longer had the option to progress NXP001 for CINV ourselves) we would still be eligible to get our £2m (capped) royalties if they ever get the cancer treatment to market, while we are still around (which it hasn't so far).
Despite the numerous fundraisers (because we have no income stream) the board has also been entrenched in discussions with partners for quite a long time now. We were of course hoping for a deal with these partners when ODD was approved. However, the partners still want to remain anonymous and the goal posts appear to have moved a bit more as we have now had to raise further funds to apply for FDA approval.
Unfortunately, we're still waiting to hear that the draft has been issued 3 months after ODD so we might need another fundraiser if we ever hope to see anything of those royalties to keep us afloat....or at least until these partners get tired of hiding in the shadows and finally decide to give us some backing.
There, I think we're up to date.
I don't know about anybody else but I'm absolutely itching to know who these partners are!
