buy ml labs ahead of deal (MLB)     

ssanebs - 24 May 2004 08:44

ML signed the awaited deal for its inhaler drug last week. expect the announcement in a week.

Dil - 01 Mar 2005 23:54 - 9 of 69

Well it aint mine :-)

Troys - 02 Mar 2005 08:29 - 10 of 69

Personally Dil I think a lot of games are being played behind the scenes. Straight talking is what is required if things are going to get any better !!

HUSTLER - 02 Mar 2005 17:45 - 11 of 69

Fully agree with hangon
pay by preformance only, shareholders would welcome
high saleries if they were being rewarded by an increase
in profit and share price, but as usual shareholders get
stuffed sideways with no redress on the board it would seem.
Then when they ousted for non preformance they expect a kings
ransom for there trouble meanwhile shareholders have to suffer
for years just to recoup thier investment as is the case with ML

regards - long term investor still 57% down - pissed right off.
Will it ever bear any good news or will it come to shareholders
to stump up yet more millions just to pay the boards wages.

Rumours & Shakers 4/3/2005

Shares in ML Labs rose 2p to 23.25p today after specialist small cap website WatsHot.com reported market talk that someone might be stake-building in the healthcare technology group. It said that Thursday's announcement from the company that its chairman and chief executive had finally been ousted was expected - so why the large number of trades after the fact? Well, the word on the street is that someone has been making offers to big holders of the stock to purchase the shares at a premium to the current market price. Market talk suggests that a bidder is stake-building on the sidelines ahead of launching a full offer for the group.


Troys - 07 Mar 2005 11:34 - 19 of 69

We need some more news to keep this one going. LOL

ML Laboratories plc



Marketing Approvals Received for Two Separate Asthma Compounds in First European
Market



ML Laboratories plc (MLB.L) has received news from its licensing partner that
its innovative dry powder inhaler, Clickhaler(R), has been granted two marketing
approvals in its first European market for use with budesonide and formoterol
respectively, two widely-prescribed asthma therapies. This is the first country
in Europe to approve these two Clickhaler products and applications in other
European markets are progressing.



The budesonide and formoterol Clickhaler products were licensed by ML to an
undisclosed major pharmaceutical partner in September 2002. Under the terms of
this agreement, ML receives milestone payments on receipt of marketing
approvals, followed by further milestones on product launches and double digit
royalties on sales.



Sales of comparable budesonide products in Europe total 200 million while the
European market for comparable formoterol products is estimated at more than
100 million. Both Clickhaler products will be launched at the earliest
opportunity.



Clickhaler products are now approved in one or more European countries for
salbutamol, beclomethasone, budesonide and formoterol, with the Meptin
Clickhaler (Otsuka's procaterol) recently approved in Japan.



Paul Ballington, Director of Marketing and Business Development, commented:



'Clickhaler has now been approved with a number of asthma treatments, each
representing a substantial market opportunity. The European markets for both
budesonide and formoterol are predominantly in dry powder delivery devices and
we believe that Clickhaler's ease of use and reliability will enable it to gain
a significant share of these markets.'
