Ice, I agree. FDA approval would/should get the show back on the road.
However your mantra of FDA approval being the only thing that matters to you is not the point. (I think you know that too, but for reasons I don't know but can only guess at, you refuse to engage with. Maybe the hole you have dug is to deep to climb out of...)
Anyway, say a bid goes in tomorrow at 90p and settles around there or even up to 200p, pick a (reasonable) number, way ahead of any potential FDA. Takes all the risk away for shareholders on timings, of approvals, future trials, of cash runway etc etc. For a lot of people they will multi bag. I think that would go through.
There will have been a huge churn in this stock over the last few years, with some banking profit on the way down, but many more cutting their losses. The more you have new(er) shareholders, the more likely they are to have bought in lower down and will see almost any offer price as a profit. (And may be less emotionally tied to the stock as that bond usually develops and strengthens over time)
I don't know what the breakdown is but the PI base might not be as hell bent as you are on seeing it to your conclusion.
So your view of FDA approval that answers and solves all problems may never come to pass.
That's why the SP matters at all times, that's why buying in at the right time matters. Your at best simplistic, one option, view that the world will work to your time table is a pretty risky strategy. (Holding that view for 5 minutes or 5 years does not decrease the risk, by the way).
My mantra here has long been "its not about the science, its about the money" was to engender conversation given what AVCT are trying to do, but truly, its only ever about the money.
PI's are just fodder for these companies to keep the lights on. Its not about us, its about the big players. AS could approve a buy out at 130p, and get a new fantastic pay plan and options with the new owner. Why would he care? Whatever happens if the tech is successful he will become immensely rich. The PI may or may not, but for sure, we are not part of the equation. We may get lucky, who knows, but that's what it will be.
