On the financing side, MLNM just completed raising $800 million, and IMNX has this massive $3 billion shelf offering under way:

Immunex Corporation Commences Equity Offering of 60 Million Shares Under Its Shelf Registration
SEATTLE, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Immunex Corporation (Nasdaq: IMNX - news) announced today the commencement of an equity offering of 60 million shares of its common stock, under the shelf registration statement previously filed. Immunex will offer 20 million newly-issued shares of common stock in the offering, while American Home Products Corporation (NYSE: AHP - news) will offer 40 million shares from its existing holdings of Immunex common stock. In addition, American Home Products has granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 9 million shares to cover over-allotments


A shelf offering by the way, for those not familiar with the term, means they can dribble the stock out as they see fit over up to a two year period. In reality I expect them to complete it much more quickly, but I'm not sure what damage it will do to upper tier biotechs in the process.
