>> The CEO of Corixa has a reputation as a ruthless deal maker. I think he got a bargain in CLTR. Isn't this the same guy who used to be the CEO of Immunex? <<

Yes. See the January TWST interview with him, linked in post 8336.

CRXA's CFO on CNBC at about 5:20 made the point that the FDA's date for acceptance or rejection of the Bexxar BLA is before the date for CRXA and CLTR shareholder approval, so that the CRXA shareholders could reject the deal if the FDA again rejects the BLA.

In other words, CLTR sold CRXA an option to buy CLTR.

Ruthless indeed.
