Greg, I think that today's announcement was to secure cash for the development of ONTAK and Panretin. I would think that a buyout would be several years in the future, and that the likelihood of such a deal would be dependent on how the new drugs sell. LGND anticipates $200-300 million in sales by 2001 with a profit margin of 40%. If they hit those numbers (or even come close), I would expect them to stay independent.
