somit hat jetzt eine ordentliche konsolidierung statt gefunden. bin gespannt wies weiter geht.
30 mio investiert niemand, wenn er nicht vom invest überzeugt ist. glaub die amis verwechseln das mit dilution.
1. Die Firma geht nicht Pleite
2. Durch einen Investor kann sie nicht übernommen werden Poison Pill
3. Neues Medikament steht n den Startlöchern :)

HOffe er fällt auf die Nase wie bei DNDN.
Also was ist besser?
Genau einen Investor ins Bott zu holen dem einen Anteil zu geben, jedoch den großen Batzen für sich zu behalten. Besser als komplett geschluckt zu werden. lg
Cell Therapeutics said they were able to raise an additional $30 million in preferred stock and warrants. Each preferred stock is convertible into 823 common shares at a conversion price of $1.21375, and the warrants have an exercise price of $1.18 per share. Cell’s management said the company intends to use the money to pay down debt and for general operating purposes involved with a developmental pharma company.
I read Adam F’s take on their caital raising and I have to disagree with him on some of his points. First thing’s first, I think raising the capital so close to a FDA panel meeting is a double edged sword because you will always have the speculators that will say that the company is raising capital because somehow the company knows the drug won’t pass (this is Adam F’s point of view). Another point of view to take (and this is why I say it is a double edged sword) is that most likely the company doesn’t know if the drug will or will not pass, but they know they need to bolster their financing. Like most pharma companies facing the FDA’s ODAC, Cell probably realizes that the panel is lead by non other than Dr. Pazdur–who has been implicated in insider trading leaks (ImClone) and an entire scandal surrounding his involvement in Provenge not getting approved even when the FDA’s own panel voted for approval– and that with him in charge the entire process is an arbitrary gamble.
Not raising capital before the meeting would be the bigger gamble if the company really needs it. Why? For arguments sake, suppose the drug doesn’t get approved and the FDA asks them to run a follow-up trial? Where would the money come from? The company would be forced to raise capital at a lower share price. In my opinion this was probably the smart move for Cell’s management, from their perspective the name of the game is get the money when you know you can get it. Raising capital later would be a huge gamble and a mistake, if Cell needed the money then raising it now was the right move. Not raising capital now would have been the BIG GAMBLE, because if for some reason the FDA doesn’t like what they see, then the company is screwed. Bianco made the right move, contrary to what Adam F thinks, not raising the capital would have been reckless.
