Michael,
I agree with you that SKB would not buy shares in the open market probably ever with a small start-up such as this. There are other cheaper easier ways to acquire. Now as far as the options go I don't think that expiration of a deadline for additional investment ( in stock) can be viewed necessarily as a negative event. A small biotech such as antx would be very willing to amend any such expired agreement at this stage. The only risk SKB takes by not exercising an option is that a positive development in the antx lab could cost them more money for the shares wanted.
So, I don't think that you can read anything extremely negative by the option being passed on at this point in time. The important part of the SKB agreement (the funding) is all they need right now.
