That $.60 to $6.00 so-called "pump and dump" you all are grousing about saved the company. We don't owe them a 30 min. presentation once a year?
I don't think that's correct. MNKD was failing again soon after the 2017 Wainwright pump/dump. The Christmas massacre was a few months later. You may also recall the hit articles during the summer of 2018 calling for imminent bankruptcy. Then the UTHR deal emerged @ Sept of 2018. It's just my opinion, but Martine "saved the company."
I don't believe Martine works for, or has ever worked for Mannkind. Any saving of the company took correct internal decision making. Yes, the United partnership is beneficial to both Mannkind and UTHR, it will be the first of many external technosphere applications. IMHO |

What a load of fertilizer. Dr. Rothblatt is a shrewd attorney as well as a doctor and did not “save” Mannkind but negotiated a deal good for UTHR which of course was also good for MNKD. I’ve every confidence MNKD managmenet has been low-balled so many times it would make our heads spin, and yet they’ve never sold out. They’re holding on for a reason and you should assume that stubborness also came into play during negotations with UTHR for TreT which MNKD on their own had made an effort to test which led to the successful negotiation with UTHR. To continue to attempt to cast that work and those negotations as charity is just a bunch of foolishness. |

Have there been any reports supporting that notion? Seems we’d have heard if there were anything to that.

Seems we’d have heard if there were anything to that. Oh you would be wrong oh cretin11. There was an earnings conference call. When Matt was still CEO, after the drop from Sanofi. Perhaps prior to the Sanofi settlement. A Chinese individual on the conference call offered to acquire shares..... Not only did we hear it, some of us remember it. Respectfully.  |

That was a long time ago. I also remember an Asian guy (who claimed to be good friends with Al Mann) at one of the Annual Shareholder Meetings announcing they wanted to take an equity position of ~55% in MNKD. |

Yes peppy I remember that well. If I recall, he offered $500 mil. Not sure anyone took that seriously. However, I was responding to the statement that we’ve had low ball offers “so many times it would make our heads spin.” Even if we count that single time as a legitimate offer, is that the only one you know about? That doesn’t make any heads spin, with all due respect. |

LOL I remember watching the video of that shareholders meeting. Wish I could remember that old timer’s name who stood up and made that proposal. Henry something? |

So peppy you agree there have been no “low ball offers” since MC became CEO?

Seems we’d have heard if there were anything to that. Hi Cretin, did you hear about the UTHR partnership before it was announced? The RLS partnership? The Qrum acquisition? Could you name any of the partners with whom we are working on formularies? “10+ formulations in 2021, majority are external.” - MNKD Ok, next set of questions. We have finalized terms with 2 public partners and a number for formularies - have you heard of other partners we’ve had discussions with that did not progress? We finalized terms for acquisition of 1 company, have you heard of other targets we’ve looked at? Landing this plane - if you hadn’t heard of any of the announcements that became final before they happened, nor about the exploratory conversations we have had that did not go anywhere, why do you think you would have heard of offers we’ve gotten that did not progress? |

So many lowball offers that it would make our heads spin? The one guy who stood up at the ASM six years ago. Any others? Crickets.
Speculation is fun, but some of us prefer facts.

Cool. Well it seem like you replied to his speculation with your own speculation. If we stick to known facts, we’d say “we have received at least one low-ball offer over the past 6 years, and may have received more, but if so we’ve not heard of them”. Is that fair?
