George,

I have not posted this before since the
chances were dependent upon the last floorless convertible being actually bought at the
60% premium figure. It now looks like it has a chance of being issued at that price. The
premium over market for the shares sold will come onto XOMA's books as "income".


Do you have a ready link to the terms of this deal? I would think they would only book income if the company was selling common at a premium, not another instrument convertible at a premium to the market.

So is Xoma up because its up? (My weak attempt at a Yogi Berrism <g>). In other words is it up because something good has happened that has somehow leaked (not necessarily from the company, of course), or because people are assuming that something good has happened because its up ...

(I'm assuming the psoriasis results were not enough to inspire the recent surge.)

Congrats to all you hardy longs, BTW. I chickened out a long time back.

Peter
