Pacific Channel has released its updated internal analysis of Living Cell Technologies (ASX:LCT).
LCT is an Australasian biotechnology company that is focused on developing a cell-based therapy for Parkinson’s Disease. The company announced on 23 July 2019 the outcome of its analysis work of the 2-year data, which showed a successful outcome of the Phase IIb trial. On 9 September LCT provided a newsletter to shareholders which noted that MedSafe has not accepted LCT’s filing for conditional approval which means LCT will be required to complete a Phase III trial in the normal way prior to commercialisation.
It is Pacific Channel’s view that NTCELL trial data has not been adequately communicated to LCT shareholders. Pacific Channel is also concerned that LCT has not produced a clear plan to scale up production and commercialise NTCELL. Additionally, LCT has not communicated a clear plan to seek further funding to pay for subsequent trials, nor a vision to drive growth and ultimately increase shareholder value.
Pacific Channel has released this report to provide the market with its views on the current status and potential of LCT and outline upcoming challenges that have not in our view been fully addressed by LCT’s board.
Pacific Channel is working as part of a group of interested LCT shareholders to recommend the need to appoint at least one new director with experience in biotechnology commercialisation, including capital markets and investor relations experience, who would be well regarded by specialist industry investors and investment banks.
To help inform existing LCT shareholders of the need for such an appointment, especially shareholders for who we are not currently in communication, we have released this report.
In consultation with other shareholders, we have asked LCT’s board to put resolutions to the AGM to remove 3 existing directors and appoint 2 news directors at its AGM on 7 November.
The form of the Statement to Members requisitioning these resolutions be put to the AGM can be found by accessing the following link. Section 249P Statement to Members
