Highlighted in our new COO's cv is Astellas, a Japanese coy with an extensive international presence.
So another senior management position filled by a person with experience at a senior level within a large corporate entity.
Oh well, I suppose another joining the ever growing list of freeloaders!

Hopefully things will be made a lot clearer shortly. Q&A should be interesting.

Bline your 6mar "I would buy more but my average is 95p and don't want to start lifting it" What changed?

Kingly aspirations wyndrum? Reigned, or reined?

Hope you're right, but all previous cohorts were announced with the dose.

Maggie Pagano's article in the Daily Mail highlights the short-sightedness/shortcomings of domestic investors in the light of Softbank's decision to float Arm in New York. The recent Heights investment only underlines the problem. Seems likely the sp is suffering from 'risk-averse UK investors'.

Agree with PL, but don't think the silly funders have much effect. They are annoying & disruptive, but doubt they have much impact on the sp. Likely there was a least one big seller at play (again), maybe some shorted, those that are careful, inexperienced, ignorant of the science, or have set stop losses, sell. Be surprised if any (true) LTHs have unloaded. Those that can, will add.

Sure you know Timster, but those who plague this bb with 'woof woof' & similar sentiments have absolutely no interest in the science. The criterion is price (short term), nothing else. They will have their days, as LTHs will have theirs.

My thinking also. For their quarterly payments Heights want cash, not shares. As you say, there may be a transactional 'swop' in future.

Love "Avacta has a golden goose it can’t afford to feed…. Who wants it?"

Bein 11.11. Spot on

Thanks for all your input this morning.

American audience in mind?

gje. My post did state "at least one".
re the 180k trade: there a 3 recorded transactions at 08.07 this morning of 59k5 each. Doubt that's more than one particular seller, whoever it may be.

At least one consistent seller throughout the day thus far. It also appears a quantity of some 180k unloaded shortly after opening. Heights again? Baillie Gifford (?), who, apparently, had to sell off some of their portfolio.

Surprised by timing.

Correction, 'exclusively for dx, not tx'!!

Doesn't strike me the raised funds are exclusively for tx from the extract below. As usual lots of speculation, but no one saw Launch happening. Be surprised if (m)any read the tea leaves correctly. Patience is a virtue, albeit frustrating.

"The funds raised pursuant to the Fundraise will also provide Avacta the balance sheet flexibility to continue to execute an M&A led growth strategy for its Diagnostics business, invest in those acquired businesses to drive growth, and to provide working capital for the wider Avacta group."

Agree Bella. Be surprised if Heights didn't realise (at least) some cash from the quarterly instalment/interest payment. Think they'll retain up to a third of the issue & unload balance. Something to look for going forward.

Sorry, wrong board

More buying by director(s)?
