Open question, what do you think is best for XOMA shareholders?

XXXXX

In April 1996, as part of its long-term partnering strategy, Genentech entered into a collaboration agreement with XOMA
to develop Genentech's hu1124 molecule through Phase II. This part of the collaboration is now complete, and based on
the Phase II results Genentech will decide early in 1999 whether to continue the product collaboration with XOMA or
itself continue with Phase III development. XOMA may decide whether to receive payments from Genentech when the
molecule is commercialized or participate with Genentech in profit-sharing from the ultimate sales of the product.

XXXXXXX

Genentech's mention of the need to decide to continue with XOMA means they have thought about taking it back in house. What will Genentech decide and why and is this good or bad for XOMA?

Xoma can decide on payment (s) when commercialized. (STRANGE THEY DID NOT USE IF) Or profit sharing from the ultimate sales. Of course we do not know how profits would be shared but profit sharing sounds better than royalties on gross sales, but it might not be.

O.K. in the absence of facts, which has never stopped, most of us before, what's best?
