I don't really get this. It is too confusing. And not only because there turns out to be two ENZOs around. The Pharmaceuticals version with two ns (ENZN), which recently bought Abelcet from Elan, as well as the Biochem version (sans the final n - ENZ), which now intends to engage in a mutually exterminating munch together with NPSP).

If I had been a shareholder in NPSP, I think I would be rather disappointed at this point. I cannot really see what excitement ENZ will be able to bring to the table. The immune regulation products are still in relatively early clinical development and the "gene stuff" is - well "gene stuff". And they say they have been working on this deal for a year. Amazing.

But it must be something in the pipeline, that NPSP is looking at. It cannot be the cash as there isn't very much of that . As a sort of insurance, if Preos doesn't reach its primary endpoint of FDA-acceptance.

Please explain! Will this make NPSP a more attractive company or not? Or is it just Hunter, who tries to expand his empire? Clearly it is ENZ who will turn out to be the less equal of partners in this transaction.
