Very quiet now. Look like the Wangs want a holding. It's never ending.
Sydney - Monday - May 18: (RWE Aust Business News) - Progen Pharmaceuticals (ASX:PGL) has entered into a binding terms sheet for an exclusive licence agreement which provides for the global licensing of its anti-cancer product, PI-88, and progresses commercialisation of the product. Progen maintains an option to commercialise PI-88 in Australia and to participate directly in a co-development structure with the clinical development, registration and commercialisation of PI-88 in Taiwan while its partner pursues the development and commercialisation of PI-88 elsewhere independently. Finalisation of the partnering arrangement is subject to the completion of negotiations of the licensing agreement, incorporating the key terms set out in the terms sheet. Justus Homburg said the partner is based in North America with strong ties to Asia, the latter being a primary target for PI-88, providing significant value to this partnership. "The arrangement has the potential to expand the market opportunity beyond what we could do on our own or with other potential partners whom we have been in discussions with," he said. "The arrangement is expected to reduce the costs involved in developing and then marketing our product and provides us with greater financial opportunity. "The milestone and royalty payments which can be provided through the partnering arrangement will help fund the progression of our broader product pipeline, including the 500 series, the epigenetics technologies and the cell proliferation compounds."
