RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Just thought I would pass this alongSorry, you will struggle to defend the indefensible. There are clearly some positives that come from a better financed company and by bringing along much needed US institutional shareholders. But those seem more positive than they should only because the company failed in gaining a higher share price via much, much cheaper more conventional means (effectively selling their very good story to investors and picking up analyst coverage in the process).
And, I could not buy those ludicrously attractive warrants but our new shareholder friends could, as could management and board members.
TH's leadership team created a ton of value and then valued it at zero in the deal. Not smart.

Those currently invested also have the opportunity to add shares on the open market to maintain the same % holding of the company.
With TH, one could have added below $3 with those shares currently being up about 50% in a short time period.
Life is like a box of chocolates....I guess I better go see the dentist ;)

What has TH's leadership team shown you about their character in such matters is that your interests are not at the forefront of their thinking like they should be. Either that or they are incommpetent and/or are overly risk averse. When it comes time to sell the company to a big pharma, can you trust they will put their interests where they are supposed to be? How many teeth do you have left to get kicked out again?

If they abuse the confidence we have placed in them you do not need to sell and run away - you can send them away. Which makes much more sense in this case since the outlook for the company is very intriguing.
Since the voting does not take place for some time, it is good not to do what foolish shareholders have done time and time again over the years and forget what happened or not utilize their vote to send the proper message to the leadership team who is filling their own pockets with options, giving johnny come lately shareholders outrageously attractive warrants and leaving loyal legach sharehodlers with less than 70% of what they used to have. Because shareholders almost always forget how leadership took advantage of them and/or because they fail to exercise the vote they are entitled to, company managements are empowered to keep kicking them in the head without consequence. JFM1330 - I have never thought you were so foolish as to ignore the reality of what was done to us with that offering (and you in particular since you had just reentered the stock immediately before the offering). You shoyld be more righteously indignant than any of us!
As I have stated several times, TH's leadership team seems like a nice group of people who are generally sensible. They put together quite a bit out of next to nothing and deserve credit for that. But they failed miserably in converting their success into shareholder success and then massively compunded that error with an atrocious offering. At some point, we shareholders need to hold them to account. If I do vote against the board at the AGM, I will not be happy doing so. I will only do so because it seems abslutely foolish to not vote against people who made two huge mistakes (not translating their remarkable operational success into share price success in the middle of a big bull market and the odious offering whereby they stabbed loyal shareholders in the back while lining their own pockets and those of newby shareholders) that have cost my clients a ton of money.
I mean really, how can you ignore these obvious facts and not take action? If youahve a good argument that defends TH's leadership, I am all ears as I don't like having to point this stuff out or having to vote against the board, but it seems like anyone trying to defend the indefensible has a hard road ahead of them,

If Thera is going to finally be a success story, this financing will only be one event in a serie of events, some totally in favor of the company, and other less so, like this financing. If oncology ends up as a blockbuster, imagine how good a deal for shareholders it will have been, same for NASH. The company got both for almost nothing. They got Trogarzo's rights for almost nothing upfront.
Also, the worst thing for somebody taking an insurance policy, is to say it was a bad move at the end of it because you did not need to use it.
