Oh no, Phillipe is there... all current shareholders should go pick up some KY because they are about to get eff'd. 

Jokes aside, if there are no public scientific developments in the next week, then it will be a funding meeting. My guesses (in no paticular order) would be:

  • Warrant/rights offering to current shareholders with an 8-12 month expiry to extend runway for cancer. Not going to fundraise to proceed with NASH alone as it would be to dilutive.
  • Asset sale. Could be Trogarzo but the price would be brutal, so I could see them packaging Egrifta to sell to a better funded NASH player while retaining some small residual royalty stream.
  • Talking through the logic of a parntership in NASH where the upfront payment is low. This would mean another fundraise would still be required, so I am sure there would be lots of questions to answer via shareholder discussions. 
  • Friendly acquisition. A friendly takeover would need to be at a SIGNIFICANT premium, so maybe there is some creative component to it that needs to be further explained.

As for the meeting with the large shareholders, there is no known agenda. Which pretty much tells us that events between now and then will likely provide the agenda. But an alternative explanationis they are just doing the rounds of the grumpy, long term shareholders to try and make sure there is a better outcome on the next board vote - seeing some board members get a low number of votes is not something that likely went over well in the boardroom and Paul is no doubt anxious to not have a replay of that. So, it makes sense to meet with the offended parties and bring them back onside. So, that may be all that it is.

Last I heard, the speakers from the company are Paul and Philippe. Christian was at best a maybe but it sounded like it was going to be a stretch for him to make it. I know the shareholders would love it if he came as he has a lot of credibility with them. I am sure he is a very busy man right about now - in fact he has been a very busy man for a long time and we have a lot to be thankful for that he has poured himself into his work in a big way for such a long time. 

If Paul and Philippe show up at a meeting with shareholders, they will be talking about the business, you can be sure about that. An offering may be part of what is going down, and that would not be too surprising, but I would also not be surprised if they raised the needed cash via a partnership and/or an ownership stake being purchased by a larger pharma company, again Pfizer being the most likely. 

As I said yesterday, the weight of the evidence leans heavily in the direction of something good being announced soon. That is no guarantee that we will be happy with the outcome however. For example, if they do sell an equity blocking stake to a larger pharma, at what price do they transact that? Ideally, we don't want any blocking stake being sold as we are hoping for a good outcomein cancer (and maybe even NASH) and would prefer a competitive bidding contest for TH at later date and a much higher price. So, we could be simultaneously happy and ticked off. It is TH, after all, so that may be what we should be thinking until proven otherwise!

Most of The positions advertised dont seem to have been filled so that would not be a problem but I dont think that a buyout is very likely at this stage...I am still wondering why a Meeting has been called with apparently no known agenda and no list of all participants.It cant be about running the business or discussing material info not yet disclosed to the public.... That leaves the other iption which is raising capital by way of a Private Placement .... hard to comment on that without knowing the terms ..
