I hope you all have paid close attention to XNPT today. The great news is they have entered into a license agreement pursuant to which Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals will be granted exclusive worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of XenoPort's clinical-stage oral product candidate arbaclofen placarbil for all indications. Under the terms, XenoPort is entitled to $20 million up front, followed by another $5 million upon the transfer of certain technology and materials and aggregate payments of up to $70 million upon Reckitt's achievement of development and regulatory milestones, and $50 million for commercial milestones. The stock has delivered a decent 6% intra-day potential gains, but I feel there is much more gains on the table. The technical chart of XenoPort, Inc. XNPT is now much improved after today's action. The MACD has reversed again the course and stock finally closed above its 9-day moving average with high volume. The price can move up to $4-4.25 in the short-term. I alerted my readers on XNPT via twitter.
