Marty, let me explain. First, the 19.9% cap is very likely b/c of ownership restrictions and/or accounting methods - at 20% or more may have to be accounted for differently.

The payments by Merck:
1. $30m 'cash' now

2. pmt you mention - means when milestone reached in development, Merck will buy stock in the co at price in the market plus some premium - I presume they have told IMCL they will pay some set $ amount which would be higher than the current price. Something like MSFT taking a stake in QWST for $45, tho QWST's price was $42 or so.
$30m = set$ price x some number of shs

3. Financing/credit provided to develop a plant to produce the cancer vaccine.
