First of all, apologies, I thought with the recent placing along with news on the horizon re Belluscura and Salarius, that we wouldn't need another one so soon. The recent SP drop showed more buys than sells so I suspected mkt manipulation, perhaps the MMs filling a big order before FDA approval. It turns out it was a classic pre placing pullback. Fair play to 'clenchedcheeks' et al for calling it - I had clenched cheeks myself when I saw the rns this morning!
However, it's fair to say that the company give a very thorough and positive breakdown of the placing and what they will do with it. It is very far from any 'keep the lights on' situation.
10p (double the 5p placing from Feb) for 10% dilution, and in return they will increase their stake in Belluscura, which is very telling, and retain the option to further increase it at a fixed price should the FDA approve the device - which is very shrew indeed.
The other three projects appear to be getting a little bit more cash each (Salarius in particular) in order to finally get them over the line.
It's a bitter pill as most placings are. But at least now when news DOES land there won't be the usual funding fears to drag the price down on the next rise - especially if they get FDA approval and are then allowed to increase their holding up to a certain price (they'll effectively be buying free money if that happens).
So, apologies for miscalculating the company finances considering what is on the horizon. However I'll stick my neck out once again and say that as far a placings go this is effectively a 'mates rates' offer just before an anticipated rocket and it gives them the opportunity to go big in Belluscura - they certainly are confident of approval obviously!
Same thing happened recently with both HEMO and especially AVCT. I for one will put my money where my mouth is and load up around the 10p mark. For those who bought higher, I hope you have the patience to stick this one out. Between Salarius and Belluscura I can still see 50p+ here this year. Tek went from 5 to 23p on rumours recently, now the rumours are due to become reality so what price then? We should find out soon enough. Fingers crossed either way!
