I find it hard to believe that recent developments coming from UoM have not caused further complications to discussions with potential partners and made negotiations even more difficult... Ip rights, market value etc... there's a absolute shed loads of legals, unknown potential value issues, who gets what now & in the future, how much needed for P3 autoimmune, is glioblastoma included etc... to go through. I'm sure there's a shed load more things I or we don't know about being discussed, especially for a first in class product with ongoing developments, what other areas are under research & by who that we don't know of and what do they want to look into but can't currently afford to do? Whoever is buying may be trying to make sure future development go to themselves whilst IMM may be wanting to keep developments in other areas open to renegotiation or vise versa, IMM looking to sell the lot for cash and royalty while big pharma want their selected market, which would be less than the full value that IMM are possibly pushing for... I do not see any straight forward way this could be negotiated but I do not feel entitled to know those now as they are key details to ongoing discussions and come under confidentiality atm... I am increasingly convinced by P140 though. Imo, it's increasingly hard to believe this could have been achieved in 6 months or less, which does make Tim's comments one of the biggest unrealstic blunders I've seen for some time... & why deadlines will most likely and hopefully won't reappear. Sounds like he hopefully recognises this from the statement of, 90% of 2&1/4 hours of AGM was Q&A, but only time will tell on that. Yes I've heard about his track record, and as Dr. House says (forgot who keeps stating House but this for you); people never change & everybody lies. Keep that in mind but every situation is different, it's a good job we're talking about a science led product imo.
Also bear in mind, P140 is a first in class development and so I would and should not have expected discussions and negotiations to be done and dusted in the time frames previously stated. Yes, it sure peed me off we was told that by the top dog in charge but also partly my own mistake for also getting caught up in excitment without pushing as far as I could to get the answers I wasn't asking.
However, how we can have further validation of P140 mechanics but still come to the conclusion a deal is hanging by a thread, stalling or off the table completely because a line wasn't included in last RNS is absurd to me and imo, it's emotions talking over intelligence, just the same as Tim's comments of deal in 2025, though yours absolutely hold less consequences..
