Who would have thought that the BIG lot of 450,000 shares sitting at .99 a few days ago would benefit Sarissa? BTW, they were prevented to buy or sell ( including short sell ) on the open market at that time.

By law, it could not have been them or anybody with knowledge of the deal.

5.4 Since December 1, 2015, representing the date at which the Company first contacted such Investor about the Offering, such Investor has not disclosed any information regarding the Offering to any third parties (other than its employees or the employees of its affiliates or their respective legal, accounting and other advisors) and has not engaged in any purchases or sales of the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales (as defined herein) involving the Company’s securities). Such Investor covenants that it will not engage in any purchases or sales of the securities of the Company (including Short Sales), other than the purchases of the Shares and the Warrants as contemplated hereby, prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed (it being understood and agreed that such transactions shall be publicly disclosed no later than one business day following the execution of this Agreement by all parties hereto). Such Investor agrees that it will not use any of the Securities acquired pursuant to this Agreement to cover any short position in the Common Stock if doing so would be in violation of applicable securities laws. For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, whether or not against the box, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sales contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
And with this last Purchase - If we thought Sarissa had much to lose if the Shares of Apricus became delisted, now they would have nothing to win if that happens ( on top of the loss ).

I know that .88 per share blows. But at least it's not a Secondary Offering. It's a Direct Offering and we at least have ONE of those that we can look back and look how we did historically after it. I have been here for at least 3 Secondary Offerings ( if not 4 with this company ) and I only know of ONE that the share price increased over the Offering price. The last Direct Offering that we had saw the stock price increase 50% above the Offering Price ( and NO, $1.32 doesn't cut it for me either ).

BTW, the share price closed at $1.10 on December 01, 2015.

I know you might not be interested in this information but I thought I would go ahead and share this info at this moment. It might become important in the future.

Assuming that Apricus receives our approval ( and it will pass as Sarissa is the Elephant in the room ), Sarissa will own :

1,030,000 Bought in the open market in the 4Q 2014.
5,494,505 Bought at $1.82 in the February 2015 Direct Offering.
2,528,411 Bought today at $0.88.
7,073,865 Subsequent Closing Shares at $0.88.
( 1,264,204 ) Warrants issued today and exercisable at 0.88 in 6 months.
( 3,536,932 ) Warrants that will be issued with the Subsequent Closing Shares at 0.88.
( 2,747,252 ) Warrants that were originally issued at $1.82 and now will be exercisable at 0.88.
____________
9,052,916 Shares that Sarissa owns after today.
+
7,073,865 Shares that Sarissa will own after Apricus gets Shareholder approval.
7,548,388 Shares that they will own when they exercise the warrants in their entirety.
_____________

23,675,169 Shares owned after fully exercising warrants and Subsequent Closing.

I believe that there are about 83,900,000 Shares Fully Diluted after it's all said and done. And that includes warrants that are way out of the money.

As of right now, we have 52,942,892 Shares Outstanding. And Sarissa owns 9,052,916 of those shares. That is 17% + of the total shares outstanding. No warrants included!
