Ann: Release of Scheme Booklet , page-11

Nothing is concrete till a contract is signed. Note that 50:50 is the share of royalty NOT the royalty itself. A big difference. I heard biota say they expect to get ROW themselves and pay DS the same arrangement as biota gets in Japan. Clearly a negotiating position only. 50:50 is best guess however if biota manufacture and sell directly to stockpilers then a similar arrangement to Japan isn't that unlikely. And we know biota owns the manufacturing capability being set up as part of the BARDA funding. Biota has the upper hand, and it's just time before they need to do a deal.

Get use to the negative risk sections in the USA reporting. They have to do it. Hence they have to say 50:50 is not locked in.
