I wonder what was the key driver forcing the price down the previous week. Was it perhaps a BP that may have taken a smallish position previously (not necessarily in its own name), that dumped as a means to destabilise the price somewhat before it goes into actual discussions with the Company?
And in a reactive response has Alan now deemed it beneficial to let the world know:

1. That progressively the takeovers of small raduopharmas have built up from US$ 2 --> 3 --> 4.1 billion over the past 6 months;

2. CU6 is the last small guy available;

3. And by the way we're advancing our trials, with news due out soon (so hold on);

4. Oh and by the way we now have $150 million in the bank that will enable us to carry out a number of clinical trials in the next 2 years.
