RE: Funding Possiblities13 Mar 2024 21:10
Good evening PC1954, your thoughts are good on this, a very constructive post and the best we have by far.
I don't believe any problem raising 300k which ought to take us to the end of phase 1a
Raising up to 2 plus million is possible but would have to look at who is prepared to invest and how much.
On the negative side we will see an element of dilution around 15% should we take options into account on 2 plus million raised
The positive side is the reverse spiral caused by RF finance agreement.
They have reduced an already deflated market cap of approximately 80 million now down to 15 million. 65 million.
if and when funding is raised with the non reliance on RF should not only recover the 75 million but also allow SP growth due to the progression and optimum time to licence 1801.
Looking at around 150 million during progression of phase 1b. This is a tad on the pessimistic side.
Edison price target not far away at 3 pounds a share approx 200 million market cap.
If we take these valuations as a ball park figure it does not take into account any licence deal.
Pessimistically we are looking at minimum upfront of 400 million. This 10% of Deucravacitinib takeover. This is the arena we are in. Current financial climate may dictate a little less. On the plus side our Dual inhibition of Tyk2 Jak1 has been postulated to have greater efficacy
So it is feasible that the 1801 compound at late stage be worth similar if not more than Deucravacitinib. Certainly if we take 1802 into phase 2 trials this is certainly achievable. But for now we can take a very realistic 150 million MC at progression of phase 1b trial. If we take 80 million shares , then this equates to around just under 2 pounds a share.
More than happy to recieve feedback from.the genuine Long term holders here.
Just to add there will also be a requirement for the BoD to reduce their salary. All funding and resources must focus on 1801 similar to what Sierra Oncology did with Momoletonib which GSK purchased for 1.9 billon.
Momo much further down the line and was taken on by SO for upfront 6 million 3 years previous.
