This is a very bad deal for DEPO stockholders. Skye is getting DEPO for book value and nearly cash value. in addition there will be very little premium paid for success of DepoCyt or DepoMorph. Those of us who absorbed all of the risk and took a beating, will now get virtually none of the benefit. I am completely exasperated. Fred Middleton and John Longenecker should be drawn and quartered for entering into such a deal. I'll bet they have arranged a hell of a deal for themselves. One of them will probably get the cushy seat on the Skye board and who knows what else.

It is clear however, that we're getting screwed.

Interesting that Europeans seem to like this Depotech business.
Hope it works out well for both parties.

As someone noted earlier, I agree that anyone buying this stock makes a favor to DEPO management and other salaried employees. There's no indication that science gets better.
As of Skyepharma, I'm not sure about their motivations. They might aim at the DURA path (expansion by cheap acquisition of anything for sale) with short term gains in mind. Nothing wrong with that if you know when to get out. There's no medical need for sustained release oral paroxetine.
