Ryeman ... if my notes are correct, someone asked about employees and any additional hirings.
I thought Dan said that they've done the hirings but that more information would be available with the corporate update by mid-January. It almost made me think he'd be jockeying the board to create one more company position as he did in the past - but - that's just a guess.
Might have read that wrong ... but that's how it hit me. Will need to listen to the recorded BioPUB when it's released.
I wouldn't expect anything from J.P.Morgan except a video/presentation if they are presenting. If it's one-on-one meetings, we probably won't hear anything.
JMO.
I asked something to the effect of: "Has Antibe hired the new Business Development Officer to lead negotiations for partnering? Also, is Dan allowed to say when the comprehensive corporate update will be released?"
I asked those questions, because they had been inverviewing for the BDO back in October (and I figured that hiring would be a small mini-catalyst of slow upward growth in the SP). I also asked about the comprehensive corporate update as they said in the "coming weeks" in the Nov. 13th Financials newsrelase (4 weeks ago).
I'm not sure if I confused Dan with combining the 2 questions, or if Dan was trying to think on the fly if his answer might be material news and was being careful, but he answered the BDO question fairly incoherently (I'll have to rewatch it once the Biopub is posted), something to the effect:
In regards to the hiring of the Buisness Development Officer, he sort of rambled and mentioned "ink" or "inking" twice. I got the general impression that they had not hired the BDO, but were close to signing (inking) a contract with someone. Perhaps why partnering discussions would really start to heat up in January? Antibe finally getting around to hiring the guy who was going to lead the partnering disccusions (though he did say that partnering discussions had commenced).
The comprehensive corporate update response he said January (can't remember if he said "mid January" like someone else said, or just "January").
