No-one will offer any price that will dilute their own earnings. That is cloud cuckoo land.

Josh... its a bit different to a small business. You and your shareholders in your small business probably own the majority of the shares and thus it would be unfair if eg 4 out of 5 of you wanted to retire and sell and the other one stopped you. That is not the case on this company - there is no majority shareholder. 52% ish is held by public shareholders like you and me. If we sell our shares, 6 months ago, chances are they would have been bought by another individual. That is no longer the case, they are being bought by individuals and institutional investors acting on behalf of large funds now they have started to take off. Maybe one of those institutional investors are trying to build up to 30% stake (who knows?) which means they can then launch a takeover OR in the background, another major pharma company will go to the Synairgen board and offer them a deal to take over. This, in my view, and the view of many here, is more likely. That deal is likely to be like a football deal - or the one just announced by Redx - which will be we pay you £xm for (at least 51%) of the shares. We want to keep the existing management so we know what we are doing so we are chucking you all on a 5 year earn out where you can earn a multiple of x (maybe 16x in this case), as long as sales or profit hits y. At that point, if the board like it, it will be put to the shareholders and likely as not they will agree to sell at a price higher than the one currently here today. Hope this helps you.

Mr Big... he had a load of what appear to be total dogs... but they are gradually coming very good... the initial pharma ones bought when he set up the fund 5 years ago were Redx, Synairgen, GSK, Astra (bought at £42), Prothena, Abbvie, Theravance, DDDD, Tissue REgenix, Spire Healthcare, Benchmark, BTG, Malin, IP Group, Oxford Sciences Innovation, Vernalis, Circassia, Hvivo, Horizon Discovery, Amo Pharma, Abzena, Midatech, Oxford Pharmascience, Northwest bio, Genomics, Synairgen, Roche, Smith & Nephew, Stratified Medical, Silence Therapeutics plus some unquoted ones. Some of the above no longer exist as have been bought out. The original plan was to sell the lot to GSK or Astra etc but GSK took a different route when they changed CEO and woodford sold GSK as a result of that. They all look like dogs until they come good but i am doing well on Synairgen, IP Group (the guys with the 90min vaccine), Astra, Silence, but i have had to average down and wait (a long time).

Astra are approx $15bn in debt .... maybe they just need to lower their servicing costs of that debt and with share price now is a good time to do it? I dont think its that relevent to Synairgen - if they were going to buy Syn in current market, i dont think this would have any impact at all.

yet another woodford...tell you guys... look up what else he bought...they are slowly (very slowly) coming good... ive spent 5 years looking at dogs so dog like they were not worth selling but he did say 10 years... and 3 have just come super good... rest are still dogs but i guess they might be sleeping and perk up at some stage

probably placed by one of the nuttier of the nutters on this board):

Well the bloke has 20 followers on his three tweets and the only other one visible appears to be how to log in to his play station. So id ignore it completely.

Mrblue.. the docs at ucl and imperial back in february were desperate to know the r Values as they Were terrified it Would be as bad as measles. I know this as i did a lot of work on it back in feb and march.

Newbie... i realise that you will not change your mind but you are entirely mistaken. Read the doc i sent over on earlier post with unblinkered eyes.
It is entirely untrue there were few cases prior to the vaccination programme...This is just nonsense and i am not going to comment further as it is pointless when someone refuses to consider the known facts and the entire weight of medical opinion.

This is entirely nonsense newbie...

My brother in law caught polio in india in the 1950s, a year before vaccination. He spent the next 40 years in a wheelchair. Lovely man, died too early from polio complications. His daughter was doing her finals at the time at uni.

Please dont spread complete garbage about polio vaccination.

I read with interest all the stuff saying you know no-one who would take the vaccine. Consider this. My son has a kidney transplant. He has been indoors since the beginning of march. So have i to protect him. No-one with a transplant and covid has not been admitted to icu. Now consider what if that was you. Would you still refuse a vaccine. It would give him and nearly 4million other people their lives back and the people who live with them or care for them.

seem to make generics. Private not public. Anyone know anything about them?

thanks volatility...have filtered.... never ceases to surprise me why, when people can easily be kind, they choose not to be. Thanks for the tip though.

last 2 comments: if you are so into doing your own thing, leaving people alone, no-one is dying, then why are you on this board, investing in Synairgen whose entire mission is to bring life and quality of life to people who are sick and dying. Why not go invest in Tui or British Airways if you dont believe a word of it? Anyway, I do believe, am invested and 4 of the 10 surgeons who treated my family last year have succumbed to Covid so i am invested. you go off to brazil and frolic.

oh yeah... add whoeever makes dialysis machines to the list as we now have nearly 5000 more on dialysis in uk due to covid. we could leave them alone of course, and theyd just die. Bit sensitive to this as son had a kidney transplant. Sorry if overly sensitive.

feedmyeyes... so you;d be quite happy nipping on a plane on a business trip to florida or brazil then? not sure i would...

this might be the template for any gov deal with synairgen
