Vlad...if you were the head of the partner company and had to pay xxx millions to get the sales rights to Muse in the USA and Japan...you could also buy on the open market up to 5% of Vivus stock about 1.5 million shares in the $2.50 to $5 range if you do it over a month or so quietly. My understanding is the partner would only have to file a 13d report with the sec after they have acquired %5 of a company stock. 1.5 mill at adv $4...for $6 mill could be a quick jump to $8 stock value ($6 mill gain) to offset your cash investment. And lead to more in the future.
