RE: AGM - resolution 9, let's vote NO27 May 2022 08:48
Good morning friends.
The annual report clearly states they need $45m once the current cash runs out.
The plan for the raise would have been in place since at least last July as it was made a condition of the release of Oxford loan funds.
The current market cap is $78m so if they can only raise 40% of market cap that would only be $31m.
If the SP were to drop more then a placing would get harder and harder with the 40% restriction in place.
So clearly they need freedom to be able to raise 100% of the value.
I don't think people get how partnerships between big pharma and small biotechs work. Big pharma are not charities that provide bailout funds to smaller companies that are struggling.
Merck has dozens of ongoing Keytruda collaborations with small biotechs. They are not going to fund each and every one that is running low on cash.
It's dog eat dog capitalism my friend. At 8am I will buy 1 share and then I can vote for the resolution and be free to comment here.
