That narrows it down then !

Pretty sure it would be immediate benefit to profit before tax line o s

Thanks t d. I agree with your points except for the options point as we all discussed as nauseam before Ie better than paying the brainies hard cash up front ! Fingers crossed for a pound! I wouldn’t have the balls to hold on for that I suspect We will see ...

How is this different from the jan 2017 raise at 9p though ? It would be good to hear from Kongats ......spectacularly silent. ...not like him I am starting to wonder if this is hype. Tdk signed up yes but no upfront fee and no indication it is a big earner. Au contraire we are raising capital ?? I am now a bit worried I confess. But will hold for a while longer until the fog clears. I hope the raise is positive but why no Kongats p r ? I still think it is to do with the cases. They are very costly. Gla

I wonder if this is also to show litigants we have the funds to defend our patents in the upcoming litigation. And strengthen the chances they will settle

Things are hotting up.......interviews on antibiotics by Contagion

Fingers crossed

Idiot

Yes could be tomanage cgt. I don’t think it is a negative but somebody was claiming it was a positive It’s small beer

The clue is in the word option. You are never committed. There are different schemes. The first one you refer to is a save as you earn option The second I don’t know Read My earlier posts please. Nobody exercises earlier than they have to unless they are selling. No debate needed on that IMO

Thanks very much as always ivy. I recall posting a while back on a fda approval which was given a reasonable time before the deadline. Here’s hoping for an early call particularly given the fact there has been a close liaison with fda throughout trials and also there is more history than normal given the previous testing under a diuferent badge. I watch the board daily but don’t post given my lack of knowledge but I really appreciate how intelligent the posting is...all the best. I will hold ......hope we are right !

What does that leave then ivy as an option to commercialise ? Sorry if I am being a bit slow....!

very good. Any resemblance to some of our board brethren is purely coincidental!

Lets hope we boldly go where no one has gone before share price wise.....Captain Kongats ...

Maybe that’s the case but you have to remember they are taking a risk in foregoing salaries so it’s not axiomatic they get any reward. Only if the share price goes up. And this edwcember share options are priced at 11p ish. I would gladly see them double their money! I see TT Is managing to make Ps Posts look informative. !

i attach an extract from dec 2017 rns. the further advantage is that the employee is locked in to the company for a period-if he leaves before the options lapse he loses the unvested options.So we tie in the brains .....
Fascinating Captain!

The Board of CAP-XX announces that a total of 17,995,000 options to subscribe for new ordinary shares have today been granted to Directors and various employees of CAP-XX.

The options have been granted pursuant to the CAP-XX Limited Share Option Plan at an exercise price 11.25p per share, being the closing mid-market price on 11 December 2017. The share options have a life of five years, with 25% of the options vesting 12 months after the anniversary of the grant date, with the remainder vesting in equal monthly amounts of 1/48th from this date. Following today's grant, the Company will have a total of 42,865,000 stock options outstanding.

The table below provides details of the options that were granted to persons discharging managerial responsibilities (PDMR) (or persons closely associated with them). Â

i disagree o s- if staff didnt get the share options we would have to pay them more- cash out the door early.and no interst in the share price performance . I am much happier with the option route which by definition only costs shareholders if the share price has increased.

sam 7 doesnt get it- you dont exercise earlier than you have to uness you need the money- another one for the TATP folder

2020 jeffrey.

Apols

Jeffrey why would you exercise early then ? Why not hold on to the option which is a one way bet with no risk of loss Once you exercise you expose yourself to downside risk unnecessarily. They probably wanted to buy a new year and needed the cash A bird in the hand..... logic dear boy.

As I explained yesterday again people do not exercise options before the lapse date unless they are going to sell. Simples. Jbg is right about that People just don’t want to hear anything that they don’t like. Jbg on planet Vulcan.! Logic and calmness

Sorry I meant it was I Tut tut
