Xtra funding could be for so many things...
Xtra funding could be for so many things...Could be to finance further phases of clinical trials... or to establish a better balance sheet... or for other future endeavours by taking advantage of a favourable climate/offer now.
It could even be to finance add'l costs for the U.S. manufacturing plant. Was there ever mention of a fill line at the new plant they are building?
As an example... Canada's new 10yr contract for pandemic vaccine with GSK requires that GSK upgrade their existing fill line in Ste-Foy, Qc. The GoC agreed to contribute 40M, prov.of Qc another 20M...and GSK is to contribute the rest (approx. 40M). That's 100M just to replace on older fill line (and expand it to accommodate higher volume). Their manufacturing required no upgrades.
Consider that MDG is supposed to be building a modern manufacturing facility (fill line too?) on only 42M. Mind you, filling can be outsourced rather easily as well...
Anyway... all speculation. We'll see soon enough.
