<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h3>
Joshua Robinson, co-founder of Darwin Financial Company, announced a $55-million financing deal with INYOAG LLC. The funds will help develop a solar-powered mine in Inyo County, California where there are proven reserves of silver, lead, zinc, tungsten, and copper. Here&#8217;s our conversation with Robinson:
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: What is the deal structure between Darwin Financial and base metals miner INYOAG? </h4>
Robinson: The deal structure is a $55M project financing package split into three components: $17.5 million and $12.5 million in six-year notes tied to sulfide and oxide production respectively, plus a $20-million conditional equity commitment that only triggers if the mine hits $10 million in monthly revenue. We get 17% of gross revenues from both production tracks, structured through secure lockbox arrangements. It&#8217;s not a straight equity investment, we specifically designed it this way to provide further upside exposure.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Are you looking for additional investors/joint venture partners? </h4>
Yes, we&#8217;ve deliberately structured this to create multiple layers of upside potential, which is pretty unique in the mining space. We&#8217;ve created a hybrid model that offers both near-term cash flow from production and significant expansion potential. We&#8217;re already seeing interest from established mining players, but we&#8217;re particularly excited about bringing new investors into the space who understand the strategic value of critical minerals.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">What are the downsides to depending on foreign sources of critical minerals?</h4>
China&#8217;s recent actions really highlight the urgency here. They&#8217;ve already implemented export controls on germanium and gallium, and just added antimony to that list. This isn&#8217;t theoretical anymore, it&#8217;s actively happening. We need to build regional resilience in our supply chains, particularly for these minerals that are crucial for defense and technology. The Darwin Mine gives us a unique opportunity to establish a domestic source for multiple critical minerals in a single asset, which is rare to find.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Will the mine be powered by solar? </h4>
The 100MW facility wouldn&#8217;t just power the mine. It would generate significant excess clean energy that we can sell back to the grid. What&#8217;s particularly interesting is that we can develop utility-scale energy storage systems using minerals we&#8217;re already producing. It creates a virtuous cycle where our mining operations directly support clean energy deployment
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">What are your 2025 goals?</h4>
For 2025, our key goals are reaching 300 tons per day on sulfide production within six months and 200 tons per day on oxide within nine months of funding. That puts us at $ 10 million in monthly revenue, which then triggers the deeper mine development program.

Alex Jones&#8217;s media company, Infowars, is now the property of satirical publication The Onion.

Sinclair, the parent company, took on $8 billion in debt to buy regional channels from Fox for $10.6 billion in 2019. That debt contributed to Diamond&#8217;s bankruptcy.

Confirms Continuation of Evaluation of Strategic Alternatives
MEI Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MEIP#NASDAQ">MEIP</a>) (the "Company") today reported results for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
Previously on July 22, 2024, the Company announced the commencement of an evaluation of strategic alternatives with the goal of maximizing the value of its assets for its stockholders. Subsequent to that date, the Company announced the engagement of Oppenheimer &amp; Co., Inc. to serve as the Company's exclusive financial adviser to assist in the review and evaluation of that process. As part of the review of strategic alternatives, the Company will consider options such as out-licensing opportunities for existing programs and merger and acquisition opportunities.
To best preserve the Company's existing cash, the Company commenced a reduction-in-force on August 1, 2024, which will continue in stages as the Company's operational and strategic direction evolves. Additionally, while the Company has discontinued the clinical development of voruciclib, certain non-clinical activities related to the Company's drug candidates continue to be conducted.

– MEI Pharma Board Unanimously Determines, Based on Clinical Data Results, Not to Proceed with Second Capital Return Under 2023 Anson and Cable Car Cooperation Agreement: Conserving Capital, Prioritizing Measured Investment, Extending Operational Runway –
MEI Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MEIP#NASDAQ">MEIP</a>), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company evaluating novel drug candidates to address known resistance mechanisms to standard-of-care cancer therapies, today reported that the Company's Board of Directors unanimously agreed on a strategic plan to leverage recent positive voruciclib and ME-344 clinical data to prioritize clinical development of voruciclib while enabling development of a new ME-344 formulation for Phase 1 study. Additionally, the Company's Board of Directors unanimously determined not to proceed with a second return of capital under the October 31, 2023 Anson Funds and Cable Car Capital cooperation agreement in order to conserve resources and align strategic investment, and thereby extend the Company's operational runway.
"We are very fortunate as a development-stage therapeutics company to have two very promising oncology candidates, voruciclib and ME-344, that continue to generate data supporting their potential as novel therapeutics to benefit patients with cancer. With the MEI Board aligned around our strategy, we have a productive framework to advance both clinical programs in a manner intended to address significant medical needs while prioritizing a measured and objective-based allocation of our resources," said David Urso, president and chief executive officer of MEI Pharma. "Voruciclib, our investigational oral CDK9 inhibitor, in combination with venetoclax is being developed to treat patients with relapsed/refractory AML without an actionable mutation, representing a potential opportunity to address more patients in a mutation agnostic approach than mutation specific therapies such as FLT3, IDH or menin inhibitors. In addition, investigational ME-344 has the potential to treat patients across many types of solid tumors through a novel therapeutic strategy in combination with VEGF inhibitors, such as Avastin&#xAE;, to create synthetic lethality in tumor cells."
"The entire MEI Board is pleased to unanimously align around a strategy that we believe is in the best interests of the Company's shareholders, with the intent to optimize the opportunity to judiciously advance both of the voruciclib and ME-344 development programs," stated Taheer Datoo, director of MEI Pharma and principal and portfolio manager of Anson Funds. "Under the strategy, use of capital is measured and balanced to achieve key clinical objectives designed to optimize the development potential these product candidates hold to advance the standard of care for patients with cancer while also optimizing the interests of our shareholders."
Mr. Datoo continued: "As we move forward, we have every confidence that execution of the strategy is in good hands with the MEI leadership team. They have significant experience in the clinical development of oncology therapeutics and are well suited to achieve success for patients and for the Company's shareholders."
Return of Capital Determination
As previously disclosed, the Company's October 31, 2023 Cooperation Agreement with stockholders, including Anson Funds and Cable Car Capital, provided that a potential second return of capital could be authorized by the Board under certain circumstances as outlined in that agreement, subject to the exercise of the Board's fiduciary duties. Since data reported from Cohort 1 of the Phase 1b study exceeded a criterion for the potential second return of capital stated in the Agreement, the trigger for a return of capital was not met. The Board further unanimously determined, after deciding not to proceed with Cohort 2, that in the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, and in light of its views on what path is in the best interests of the Company's stockholders, the Company would not proceed with any additional potential return of capital as permitted under the Cooperation Agreement.
Strategic Overview
The strategy unanimously approved by the MEI Board of Directors provides for advancing clinical development of voruciclib, an investigational selective oral cyclin-dependent kinase 9 ("CDK9") inhibitor, to new value inflection points by the end of calendar year 2025 and for enabling a new formulation of ME-344, an investigational inhibitor of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation ("OXPHOS"). The plan builds on encouraging recently reported voruciclib clinical data and ME-344 data separately reported today.
Specifically with respect to voruciclib, the development objective is to optimize voruciclib for a Phase 3 study in combination with venetoclax (Venclexta&#xAE;) in patients with relapsed and refractory ("R/R") acute myeloid leukemia ("AML"). Under the plan, the ongoing voruciclib development strategy will be guided by future clinical trial results and applicable regulatory authority advice. Subject to positive Phase 1 data later this year, MEI plans to amend the ongoing Phase 1 study to add a Phase 2 study arm, with enrollment in the Phase 2 arm anticipated to begin in 2025. This is anticipated to generate Phase 2 data by the end of 2025. Contingent on the success of the Phase 1/2 study, MEI plans to have the program ready to initiate a Phase 3 registration trial during 2026.
With regards to ME-344, the plan is to develop a new formulation for further clinical development to better leverage the opportunity to advance a novel approach to inducing synthetic lethality in tumors in combination with VEGF inhibitors such as bevacizumab (Avastin&#xAE;). The Company has already initiated research and development activity of the new formulation with encouraging results, with the goal of increasing biological activity, improving convenience of administration and increasing commercial opportunity. Interrupting ME-344 clinical activity and developing a new formulation will immediately reduce ME-344 expenditures.
Voruciclib
The Company recently reported initiation of enrollment in an expansion cohort of the ongoing Phase 1 study evaluating voruciclib plus venetoclax (Venclexta&#xAE;), a B-cell lymphoma 2 ("BCL2") inhibitor, in R/R AML. The decision to open the expansion cohort was based on encouraging initial data demonstrating anti-leukemic activity, including complete responses in heavily pretreated patients. Additionally, at doses of 100 mg or more, initial results from correlative biomarker assay analyses of available samples from patients treated with the combination demonstrated anticipated decreases of myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein ("Mcl-1"), including a greater decrease in Mcl-1 at higher doses. Reductions in Mcl-1 are consistent with the known mechanism of action of CDK9. Further, there was no evidence of overlapping toxicity with venetoclax and no dose limiting toxicities were observed.
Increasingly, venetoclax is being used as a standard treatment in patients with AML, but salvage therapy after venetoclax failure is common and yields limited benefit; only about 10% of patients respond to salvage therapy after venetoclax failure, representing a significant need for patients with AML. While mutation specific therapies, such as FLT3, IDH, and menin inhibitors, may be used in patients with such mutations, the majority of patients with AML do not have therapeutically actionable mutations. Thus, inhibition of CDK9 is a mutation agnostic therapeutic opportunity across the majority of patients with R/R AML, representing an addressable patient population larger than that of any mutation specific therapy.
ME-344
As separately reported today, based on initial study results, 25% of evaluable patients with relapsed metastatic colorectal cancer ("mCRC") enrolled in Cohort 1 of the ongoing Phase 1b study evaluating ME-344 in combination with bevacizumab (Avastin&#xAE;) reached a predetermined 16-week progression free survival ("PFS") threshold, exceeding the 20% threshold set in the Clinical Study Protocol. Patients were heavily pretreated and had failed standard therapies for their disease. The combination was also observed to have a generally well-tolerated safety profile.
The recently reported data represent new clinical support of the potential of ME-344 in combination with VEGF inhibitors such as bevacizumab to induce synthetic lethality in tumors; this is a novel therapeutic strategy to potentially provide benefit to patients in a well-tolerated manner. Further, there is a significant medical need to provide patients with colorectal cancer new treatment options in light of the fact that deaths from this disease are a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. and given that the incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing among those under 55.
While the threshold was met to proceed to Cohort 2, the Company believes the best approach to meet the need of patients with mCRC, and potentially patients with other cancers where VEGF inhibitors are standard-of-care, is to continue to advance ME-344 via development of a new formulation, building upon the ME-344 results to date. The Company believes that development of a new formulation represents the optimal approach to leveraging the potential of the program and the novel therapeutic strategy to induce synthetic lethality in tumors via the combination. The goal of the formulation effort is to increase biological activity, improve patient convenience of administration and increase commercial opportunity. This plan will reduce short-term expenditures on the ME-344 program and ultimately, if successful, create an enhanced formulation for continued clinical development

This landmark analysis exceeded the 20% threshold set in the Clinical Study Protocol to add an additional 20 patients to the study via the initiation of Cohort 2. The combination was also observed to be generally well-tolerated to date. While the threshold was met to proceed to Cohort 2, it was separately reported today that following a strategic review, the Company decided to continue to advance ME-344 development via its ongoing development of a new formulation rather than through the addition of a new cohort. The Company believes this represents the optimal approach to leveraging the potential of the program. The Company has already initiated research and development activity of the new formulation with encouraging results, with the goal of increasing biological activity, improving convenience of administration and increasing commercial opportunity.
"The data reported today, including progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety results of the combination, represent an important development supporting the potential of ME-344 in combination with Avastin to induce synthetic lethality in tumors using a completely novel therapeutic strategy," said Richard Ghalie, chief medical officer of MEI Pharma. "The development of a new formulation with enhanced biologic activity is aimed at further improving patient outcomes and treatment convenience in a well-tolerated manner."
"At MEI we are committed to our mission of developing novel drug candidates to address known resistance mechanisms to standard-of-care cancer therapies, and ME-344 holds significant potential as a novel therapeutic strategy to advance this mission," said David Urso, president and chief executive officer of MEI Pharma. "We believe that the best approach to optimize the potential of ME-344 for patients, prioritize resource utilization, and build value for shareholders, is to continue advancing the program via development of a new formulation of ME-344. In the short term, this plan will reduce expenditures on the ME-344 program and ultimately, if successful, create an improved formulation for continued clinical development."

<h3>What is a Value Stock?</h3>
A value stock is traditionally defined in terms of how investors in the marketplace are valuing that company's future growth prospects. Low P/E multiples are good base indicators that the company is undervalued and can most likely be labelled as a value stock. 
<h2>The following stocks are considered to be notable value stocks in the healthcare sector:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Spok Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOK#NASDAQ">SPOK</a>) - P/E: 8.96</li>

다윈 파이낸셜 컴퍼니(Darwin Financial Company)의 공동 설립자 조슈아 로빈슨(Joshua Robinson)은 INYOAG LLC와의 5,500만 달러 자금 조달 거래를 발표했다. 이 자금은 캘리포니아 이노 카운티에 있는 태양열 발전 광산 개발에 사용될 예정이며, 해당 지역에는 은, 납, 아연, 텅스텐 및 구리 매장량이 확인되어 있다. 로빈슨과의 대화 내용은 다음과 같다:
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: 다윈 금융과 기초 금속 광산업체 INYOAG 간의 거래 구조는 어떻게 되나요? </h4>
로빈슨: 이번 거래 구조는 5,500만 달러 프로젝트 자금 조달 패키지로, 세 가지 구성 요소로 나누어진다: 황화물 및 산화물 생산에 각각 1,750만 달러 및 1,250만 달러의 6년 만기 채권, 그리고 광산이 월 1,000만 달러의 매출을 달성할 경우에만 발동되는 2,000만 달러의 조건부 주식 투자이다. 우리는 두 생산 트랙에서 총 매출의 17%를 확보하며, 이는 안전한 록박스 방식으로 구조화된다. 이것은 단순한 주식 투자가 아니며, 우리는 추가적인 상승 가능성을 제공하기 위해 특별히 이렇게 설계했다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">추가 투자자/합작 투자 파트너를 찾고 있나요? </h4>
네, 우리는 이것을 여러 층의 상승 가능성을 창출하기 위해 고의적으로 구조화했다. 이는 광산 분야에서 꽤 독특한 접근 방식이다. 우리는 생산에서의 단기 현금 흐름과 상당한 확장 가능성을 제공하는 하이브리드 모델을 만들었다. 우리는 이미 기존 광산 업체들로부터 관심을 받고 있지만, 특히 중요한 광물의 전략적 가치를 이해하는 새로운 투자자들을 이 분야에 끌어들이는 것에 대해 기대하고 있다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">중요 광물의 외국 공급원에 의존하는 것의 단점은 무엇인가요? </h4>
중국의 최근 움직임은 여기서 긴급성을 강조한다. 중국은 이미 게르마늄과 갈륨에 대한 수출 통제를 시행했고, 최근 안티모니도 목록에 추가했다. 이는 더 이상 이론적인 문제가 아니라, 실제로 발생하고 있다. 우리는 방산 및 기술에 필수적인 이러한 광물에 대해 공급망의 지역적 회복력을 구축해야 한다. 다윈 광산은 단일 자산에서 여러 중요한 광물의 국내 공급원을 구축할 수 있는 독특한 기회를 제공한다. 이는 찾기 어려운 일이다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">광산은 태양열로 운영되나요? </h4>
100MW 시설은 광산만을 전력 공급하는 것이 아니라, 우리가 생산하는 광물로 발전소 규모의 에너지 저장 시스템을 개발할 수 있는 충분한 청정 에너지를 생성할 것이다. 이는 우리의 광산 운영이 청정 에너지 배치를 직접 지원하는 선순환을 만든다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2025년 목표는 무엇인가요? </h4>
2025년의 주요 목표는 자금 지원 후 6개월 이내에 황화물 생산을 하루 300톤으로, 9개월 이내에 산화물 생산을 하루 200톤으로 끌어올리는 것이다. 이는 월 1,000만 달러의 매출을 달성하게 되며, 그 후 심화된 광산 개발 프로그램이 발동다.

다이아몬드 스포츠 그룹(Diamond Sports Group)의 구조 조정에는 부채를 약 90억 달러에서 2억 달러로 줄이는 것이 포함될 것이라고 <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/42388454/diamond-sports-group-emerges-bankruptcy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ESPN</a>이 보도했다. 구조조정 계획은 다이아몬드가 부채 보유자들로부터 &#8220;거의 만장일치의 지지&#8221;로 분류한 것을 받았다. 현재 1억 달러의 유동성을 보유하고 있는 다이아몬드는 파산 상태에서 벗어나 독립 기업으로 운영될 예정이다. 모회사인 싱클레어(Sinclair)는 2019년에 폭스(Fox)로부터 지역 채널을 106억 달러에 인수하기 위해 80억 달러의 빚을 졌다. 그 빚은 다이아몬드의 파산에 기여했다.

월스트리트는 공화당이 의회를 장악하고 규제를 완화함에 따라 M&amp;A가 급증할 것으로 예상하고 있다. 분석가들은 리나 칸(Lina Khan) 연방거래위원회(FTC) 위원장의 해임으로 인해 독점 금지 조사가 쉬워질 것으로 예상하고 있다. 뱅크 오브 아메리카는 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선자와 같은 공화당 행정부가 역사적으로 민주당 행정부에 비해 금융 부문 M&amp;A 활동을 50% 이상 육성했다는 점을 강조한다.
뱅크 오브 아메리카는 또한 금리 인하가 발효되고 경제 상황이 안정화됨에 따라 2025년은 M&amp;A에 있어 더 좋은 해가 될 수 있다고 예측한다. 다음은 은행이 수집한 5가지 잠재적 목표 목록이다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">전체 목록</a>을 보려면 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">여기를 클릭</a>하세요.
