Mr B - we need to get to at least $4 per share, it's one of the conditions of NASDAQ uplisting. To do that, there will be a reverse split - i.e. if you own 1000 shares at $0.25 now, with a 20/1 reverse split you will then own 50 shares at $5. The total value of your holding remains the same but the number of shares in issue is reduced.
As yet it's not certain at what price the split will take place but the scenario I've outlined above looks plausible - i.e a 20/1 split at our current level. With 308m shares currently in issue, at $0.245 per share, our MCap is now around $75m. I expect that, once NASDAQ uplist is approved, the IPO will offer shares at a similar level to what the OPKO deal valued XBIO shares at notionally - $0.49. That's double where we are now. Once on NASDAQ it remains to be seen what news XBIO will offer to support the SP, and how the market values us in comparison with our peers. Parpaing discusses this issue a little in posts below. As a rough guide, if Virexxa and PSA-EPO news is good in coming months, perhaps we could see our MCap in the $250m-$350m range - but longer term, licensing and a royalty stream should mean much better than that.
All this is of course subject to NASDAQ approval - and to XBIO's sclerotic habits.
