As, usuall, context is key and both opions are could come true. Look at the link HBD posted below. If sareum got a similar licence for 1801, say £120 million upfront and £1.2 billion in milestones and say we got the same figures for 1802. That's £240 million in the bank with nothing to spend it on, although Tim did say they may aquire a compound in the future. And on top of that we would have a potential 2.4 billion in milestones to come. We'd be over £5 again, possibly nearer £10. Then as we inch towards market the sp would rise with every milestone reached. By the the end of 1801 p2 and good data from 1802 phase 1b. We could easily but on a valuation of £2 billion, and if course, you would be free to sell and buy anywhere you want in that cycle. On the filp side, if anything goes wrong with 1801, we lose almost everything. A buyout would be nice but would also come with a penalty and we'd see a big discount. The MA guys can answer this one but it wouldn't be unusual to see a 50 to 75% discount on the potential if an offer was made. In this scenario, the board would recommend whether it a good deal or not. A lot of flak is thrown at the NEDS but IMO they have very little to do with the day to day running of the company, they are here for regulatory reasons and one those reasons is TO, especially hostile takeovers, they will be on a fractional salary as a retainer so when/if the time comes they can recommend which way the shareholders vote. Tim and John aren't in a position to do this.
