Guess I have to say that the proposal sounds a little flaky!

Seems like they will be diluting the hell out of the current float and leaving a lot of the shares out for an undesignated purpose. Maybe that will help mgt. to further enrich themselves while diluting our equity. They are fat enough, in my opinion.

It's hard to believe that that with a common infrastructure, shared mgt. and a lot of shared resources, that the performance tracking will be very accurate. Just by the allocation of expenses such as the maintenance of what will be common facilities, they have broad latitude to cook the books.

I think that management, in spite of their successes, still has a lot of accountability to their basic mission, which used to be building an R&D pipeline which cranks out two products a year. Let's hope that they are not losing their way.

Agouron still has to deliver on AG3340 in a timely manner and the divisional proposal won't change a thing. Vote Nay!
