Mixed bag of results from TRx-237-015

21%-owned TauRX released results for its mild to moderate Alzheimer’s study yesterday. It was unsuccessful overall as the drug, LMTX, did not work well with other drugs. That said, patients who treated with LMTX alone reported positive results. We believe LMTX will be commercialised eventually. Our TP employs 0% discount to SOP/sh to reflect potential monetization of LMTX. Also, downside risk appears limited as GENT is trading at 20% discount to SOP/sh or in-line with its historical mean.
