Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (ABUS) ニュース

https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/03/03/3035733/14025/en/Genevant-Sciences-and-Arbutus-Biopharma-Initiate-International-Patent-Infringement-Enforcement-Actions-Against-Moderna.html

some scenarios(imo?):

BEST case scenario: A letter of intent to completely divest of the HBV assets 'prior' to Pfizer Markman ruling for a respectectable amount; this would put a solid floor at the purchase price and leave risk-free upside into Pfizer Markman result. HUGE cherry on top if result leaned heavily our way. This 'could be' a scenario where we see $15+ ??

WORST case scenario: Pfizer Markman comes out prior to HBV deal and leans towards Pfizer. Maybe temporarily drops share price to $2.50 to $2.75(?) Then we seem to be weak and lose some of our HBV bargaining power(?)


Timing?

HBV:
Based on commentary when the new directors were announced, 'possibly' hear about an HBV transaction prior to the annual general meeting in mid-March(?)
.. BUT obviously could drag out.... 'should be' this year????

Pfizer Markman ruling:
Supposedly 1st half 2025 but in looking at the Judge's past Markman rulings it could be ~8 months'ish???

Moderna Summary Judgement in regards to Gov't contracts..etc:
Q2/Q3 if i recall correctly

Moderna Hearing:
Sept 2025

Qilu payment:
1st half 2025



Would LOVE to have a bunch of solid wins in 1st half 2025....

tell me about it!?! ... and of course i keep rolling calls on her............. someday?!? 'i think' this will at minimum double this year with max downside to around $2.50ish 'if' they completely lost on pfizer markman(?)

long wait on this one. Maybe some day!

I'll look now 👍🏽

MWM see today’s update. Qilu milestones coming and no more atm

Pfizer Markman results ‘soon’. Assuming they are positive we should have liftoff. ATM program killed the Moderna Markman last year and won’t be used during Pfizer results it sounds like

Now to just get a decisive victory!?!???

The company’s will focus on clinical development of Imdusiran regimens for HBV, but will terminate research on new HBV compounds.

Oddly (for the reason mentioned at the bottom of #msg-174556022), ABUS opted to retain its oral PD-1 program.

Arbutus is waking up a little following yesterday's Motion to Dismiss with Acuitas:
https://www.law360.com/ip/articles/1839088/judge-tosses-acuitas-covid-biotech-ip-suit-

other important events of late include:

1) company stating they have stopped their ATM and don't see a need to use it the rest of this year

2) the Markman order against Moderna that went in their favor:

issue here, now, might be too many open $3 calls? will mm's hold her under....

mgmt killed this stock with that ATM; imo, used in a suspicious manner... ie: they put a lid on her on the markman order release at $3ish .. WHY would you do that? They could have raised same money at double the price

Nice!

from Whitefort's 13D filed today: "The Reporting Persons have conveyed their view to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) that the current market price of the Shares does not reflect the Issuer’s intrinsic value. The Reporting Persons have requested that the Board immediately terminate the Issuer’s ATM program and explore all strategic options for the Issuer’s hepatitis B virus (HBV) portfolio. The Reporting Persons hope to continue to work constructively and collaboratively with the Board on these critical initiatives and intend to actively engage with shareholders and others regarding their views."

07:15 AM EDT, 04/04/2024 (MT Newswires) -- A US court ruled against Moderna (MRNA) in a patent infringement case by Arbutus (ABUS) over its COVID-19 vaccines, Reuters reported Wednesday.

US District Judge Mitchell Goldberg interpreted the patents in ways that favored Arbutus' case and hurt Moderna', Reuters reported.

Arbutus sued Moderna in 2022, claiming the company's COVID-19 vaccine impinged on its patents for lipid nanoparticles that shield the vaccine's mRNA from the body's immune system.

Moderna and Arbutus did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment.
