RE: Valuation of W2T23 Jan 2020 06:19
If we are not valuing W2T being a private company on the basis of its balance let us look at the Cooperation agreement with Peel. The worst case scenario gives a license fee revenue to PHE of circa £2.9m. The question which needs answering from the shareholder circular is will the total revenues from the collaboration agreement, with any necessary amendment, justify the valuation put on W2T. That is an individual jusgement call for each shareholder to make. If the answer to that question is no then the question becomes would the acquisition remove any impediment to other agreements being reached which would raise additional revenues. If the answer to this question is yes then we would need to look at the total value of the additional contracts that could be agreed to see if that would justify the acquisition being approved.
I am going to anticipate one of the points Manabouttown is likely to make. No I do not have any reason to believe that the impediment point is a factor but I am puzzled by the timing. At the time of the collaboration agreement the current arrangement did not seem to be an issue so what has changed that it now is a issue?
