Bluegreen, I am voting YES. Why don't large pharmas do it? This is clearly explained. Once the fair value of the assets of a company are high, this type of action becomes almost impossible because of the one time tax consequences. While I don't speak for Amgen, one can surmise, (correctly or incorrectly), that they are doing all they can, as evidenced by their 3 Bermuda, affiliates to at least get some of the benefits.

Advise everyone who owns shares to read the prospectus.

Appreciate XOMA's management for thinking beyond the box. Clearly this is one way to add value for the shareholders, IMO, but obviously this will only be true if XOMA's drugs are approved and are a commercial success.
