Just thinking logically, unless the offer from a BP was so incredibly "off the charts" huge that no one else could match, why would CYDY agree to limit competition on bidding for a NASH partnership? That doesn't seem like a good strategy to me, if one really has a game changing treatment that every BP would fall all over themselves to be a part of. CYDY loses every shred of leverage that way.
Sure, if I was the BP, I would ask for no competition, but again, how does it make sense to actually allow that?
