Hier ein paar Sätze die mir aufgefallen sind;
Seite 14/15
COVID-19 Research Efforts
"While our core mission is to find a cure for HBV, the magnitude of the coronavirus pandemic is undeniable. Given our proven expertise in the discovery of new antiviral therapies, we initiated a drug discovery effort for treating coronaviruses, including COVID-19, in 2020.
To that end, we have assembled an internal team of expert scientists under the direction of our Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Michael Sofia, to identify novel small molecule therapies to treat COVID-19 and future coronavirus outbreaks. Dr. Sofia, who was awarded the Lasker-DeBakey Award for his discovery of sofosbuvir, brings extensive antiviral drug discovery experience to this new program.
We are also a member of the COVID R&D consortium to address the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and any future coronavirus outbreaks. At this time, our COVID-19 research program is focused on the discovery and development of new molecular entities that address specific viral targets including the nsp12 viral polymerase and the nsp5 viral protease. These targets are essential viral proteins which we have experience in targeting. We are actively screening multiple new oral molecular entities."
Seite 17/18
"We have a portfolio of approximately 55 patent families, in the United States and abroad, that are directed to our therapeutic HBV product candidates, HBV technology and various aspect of LNPs and LNP formulations. The portfolio includes approximately 150 issued patents throughout the world and an extensive portfolio of pending patent applications.
The earliest any of the material patents with respect to our current product candidates will expire is 2037."
Seite 27/28
"..In February 2021, Arbutus Biopharma US Holdings, Inc. merged with Arbutus Biopharma, Inc. with Arbutus Biopharma, Inc. as the surviving entity."
Seite 100/101
Series A Participating Convertible Preferred Shares
"In October 2017, we entered into a subscription agreement with Roivant Sciences Ltd., or Roivant, for the sale of 1,164,000 Series A participating convertible preferred shares, or the Preferred Shares, for gross proceeds of $116.4 million. These Preferred Shares are non-voting and accrue an 8.75% per
annum coupon in the form of additional Preferred Shares, compounded annually, until October 18, 2021, at which time all the Preferred Shares will be subject to mandatory conversion into common shares (subject to limited exceptions in the event of certain fundamental corporate transactions relating to our capital structure or assets, which would permit earlier conversion at Roivant’s option).
The conversion price is $7.13 per share, which will result in the Preferred Shares being converted into approximately 23 million common shares. After conversion of the Preferred Shares into common shares, based on the number of common shares outstanding as of March 3, 2021, Roivant would hold approximately 33% of our common shares.
Roivant agreed to a four year lock-up period for this investment and its existing holdings in us. Roivant also agreed to a four year standstill whereby Roivant will not acquire greater than 49.99% of our common shares or securities convertible into common shares. The initial investment of $50.0 million closed in October 2017, and the remaining amount of $66.4 million closed in January 2018 following regulatory and shareholder approvals."
