Overpaid? Perhaps. But hopefully the AGPH scientists saw something in the preliminary data they liked. AGPH needed to position themselves with regard to the next generation of PIs -- and they did. As for Remune -- originally it seemed the street thought Remune was already an also-ran (following Geneva), but on further review it might just be a keeper.

Nate,

I doubt they overpaid for any of the three inlicensed products. I'm sure they paid a fair price, but one that had a significant payback on a risk adjusted basis. These guys are very conservative, do their homework, and know the HIV market and technology very well.
