Yes indeed, in which case why do it now?
If they had to, on a previous thread that they had less than 1 years cash to keep solvent, it might go someway to explaining the current SP. It was last ditch stuff...
We might never know but I do remember when BP had the oil disaster in the Gulf, it was later reported that it was at one stage, hours away from bankruptcy and that is multi-multi-multi billion dollar company.
Maybe from the business perspective it has been far more precarious than any of us have imagined.
It might explain the frequency of shorts out on the company and for all the vitriol expended on this subject, the risk of shorting a company is very high, you don't do it on a whim, or for a bit of malicious fun as many here seem to imply.
It might also explain the downward trend in the SP for so long, in that the risk of administration has been greater than the chance of a buyout within the timeframe of commercial approval, assuming that those hurdles are overcome.
We are back to probably acknowledging that this is a small, high risk bio-tech in which the vast majority fail rather than succeed.
Perhaps the market is not as thick as mince after all?
