Finally Melcor Developments (MRD) has offered to take Melcor REIT (MR-UN) private at $4.95 with a closing date of late Q4 2024.
I note there is a one month "go shop" for MR-UN to possibly find a better deal, however with MRD owing ~55 %; MRD being the manager of the REITs properties; and the year long Strategic Review Process - is it even a possibility that MR-UN could find another buyer?
With MR-UN trading ~$4.80 should I sell my holdings and move onto another REIT? With only a 3 % difference I think there are other opportunities in the REIT space to replace MR-UN.
What would be 5i top names in the REIT space to replace MR-UN (can be a different sub-sector from MR-UN's operations).
Q: Hello 5i, as there is a takeover offer for Melcor REIT could you offer an opinion as to is the offer a fair price for current shareholders and the possibility of a competing take over offer.
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Sept. 13, 2024 /CNW/ - Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX: CPH) (OTCQX: CPHRF) ("Cipher" or the "Company") announced today that its partner, Moberg Pharma AB ("Moberg"), issued a news release earlier today stating that it has received information about clinical cure in a subset of patients in the ongoing North American Phase 3 study for MOB-015, a product for the treatment of nail fungus. Moberg has noted that the number of patients who have achieved clinical cure in this blinded subset of patients is lower than its expectations, which necessitates that Moberg inform the market about this fact.
Moberg's full press release can be found here.
Cipher owns the Canadian marketing rights to Moberg's MOB-015 through a licensing agreement (the "Agreement") dated September 18, 2018, to commercialize, promote, sell and distribute the product exclusively in Canada. On signing the Agreement, the Company paid an upfront amount of US$0.5 million and any future additional payments of up to US$14.1 million are contingent upon successful achievement of certain clinical data results as well as development, regulatory and commercial sales milestones. Cipher has no further financial obligations in respect of the Agreement if the applicable development and regulatory milestones outlined in the Agreement are not attained.
The Company will continue to collaborate with its partner Moberg as full results from their clinical trial become available, however this pipeline product does not impact the sales and earnings profile of Cipher's existing business today.
The Company continues to be focused on its recent acquisition of the NatrobaTM business from ParaPRO LLC as announced on July 29, 2024, as well as other potential growth opportunities. The Company believes the growth potential for the NatrobaTM product in the U.S. market and other markets internationally is significant, and the integration of this business into its existing profitable North American platform remains Cipher's focus and priority in the near term.

Q: Hi Team,
after today's decline in DRX that seems overdone I am thinking to initiate a position in DRX. I am very tempted to sell my NFI stake and make the switch for shares of ADF Group. What would you think of the move and would you have any other suggestions to replace NFI in my Portfolio.
I’m a long term holder of NPI, of course it’s been very weak along with the renewable sector. Last several days it’s showing some life.
Is it just general movement with rest of the utilities in anticipation of lower interest rates or is there something else? Longer term HOLD ie. +3-5 years (also own CPX).
Q: TVK at $98+! Similar to an earlier question, is the valuation getting stretched at this point, or is it worth jumping in a bit? Given the current circumstances, what would be a good entry point price in your view? Thank you!
Q: Hi Peter, I've held EGLX since 2021 in my RRSP and my cost is 3.91 ( haha good for me) it's hard to let it go especially because it's in my RRSP. Is there even a chance of a slight recovery, takeover, if so what could they offer for it, or is it time to bite the bullet and sell. Thanks
Q: I wanted to push back a little on the last answer. You noted they have high debt. The release said they have over 200 million cash and no external debt. Also you referred to eps next year as dropping to 2020 levels. The company started in late 2022 and I see forecasts as growing. I do agree the sentiment is horrible and I believe it is tied to the short position and tactics. However I really think this is a great buying opportunity when this stops dropping and settles at an ridiculous level. I was hoping you would agree.

Q: Hi Team,
I do not own Tvk yet, mostly being hesitant that it would be tied to the oil and gas sector too much which is highly cyclical and I now mostly avoid resource stocks after being burned in the past. However Tvk has not fallen with the recent downturn in Canadian oil stocks. Still riding new highs daily here it seems. I guess my question is do you see a lag effect coming here in possible weakness coming for Tvk being that the oil sector is once again getting hit? Or is it diversified enough to completely avoid this? I am wondering if a better entry point might present itself down the road a quarter or 2? The
Thanks ,
Shane
Q: Is it possible for Sherritt to file bankruptcy due to debt and what would happen to assets/operations? Nickel prices have been poor. They have a complex asset structure entangled with Cuban businesses so it's not foreseeable to be bought out due to political risk but their large refinery in Fort Sask also poses a concern for environmental reclamation to the government.
