RE: Friel's buy...32p in today's money20 May 2018 14:28
Yes, but... He only bought 17.3m Fastnet shares at 4p. 8:1 consolidation means just over 2m equiv in AMYT today. Yet Frield had 33m AMYT shares at peak holding so to say he was selling at a loss when he still holds considerably more than 2m is a little simplistic.
He signed up to 2 more years of selling restrictions having released a fraction of his capital tied up in AMYT in order presumably to finance another venture.
I see no issue with any of this.
The issues we should be discussing:
- possible commercialisation sooner than we thought under existing PTW MA in Europe? (March RNS and subsequent UKIS presentation) This would be huge if achieved. How likely, what about these small scale studies mentioned, and how quick to first sale, 2018 or 19?
- Harris settlement. Will we see an RNS? What can it mean for AP102 - presumably can ONLY be good news for Amryt because at the very least Harris is injuncted against working on a rival (see my twitter for photograph of court order)
- Amicus data set, what it means for EASE, and separately are we still expecting an IND and US trial centres for EASE, and when? Just points of interest.
- Interim readout - hearing conflicting accounts from early Q4 to 'december' as mentioned in UKIS presentation, thought the latter could be slip of the tongue 'by end of December'?
Too much interesting stuff going on here to be raking over old ground or casting aspersions on a staffer because of what his former employer got up to. Far too much.
