Q: Good morning, my question is regarding PBH's recent 5 year outlook. " achieving over the next five years annual sales of $6.0 billion and an
EBITDA margin of 10%." I am wondering if this goal were to be achieved do you think this is ambitious? They estimate sales to go from 3 billion to 3.7 billion a 23% increase, so that would mean if sales are 6 billion at end of 2023 then revenue only grows at 13% per year 2020-2023 which is quite the decrease or would this be their goal without taking into account growth by acquisitions? They do note EBITDA margins would improve to 10% so maybe I am missing the importance of this.

Q: I completely understand your support for Johnathan Goodman at Knight as his history is beyond impressive. However, I think Mr. Jakobsohn's proposal asks some significant questions that, as a shareholder, I would like to hear answers for. It does make me uncomfortable that his family company got involved in four deals and he will benefit more than if he had Knight involved. That seems like a legitimate concern as is the puny revenues generated in four years since Knight's launch. Conversely, Knight provided Medisen the opportunity to thrive and succeed and it is not the first time I have seen beneficiaries conveniently forget who helped them become successful once they have achieved momentum and no longer need their benefactor.
Ultimately, I do hope this exercise will help Goodman see some valid points in Jakobsohn's presentation and diversify his board and spend some cash. The articles that have appeared about Goodman detail his bargaining savvy but who would want to deal with him when it is public knowledge he has a desire to buy for nothing... I wish he would forget about his famous "grandchildren" analogy and show the investors who have supported his financings and bought the stock at $10 plus that he can still discover companies with potential and make mutually beneficial deals so Knight can thrive and grow.
I doubt Jakobsohn's proposal will go anywhere but perhaps it will reinforce to Goodman that his approach could be a little more "in the present" to his many investors/supporters.
I have a bad case of FOMO when it comes to Knight. If I liquidate part or all of my shares, I stress about Goodman making a blockbuster deal the next day!!
Would you agree with anything I have said and please provide an opinion on any value in the dissenting proposal.

Thanks.

Q: Hi, Constellation's COO Mr Miller also announced an ASPD agreement for acuisition/disposal of his company shares but at a much larger scale of 10,000 shares a week for price range above $1,000 and below $800. It could be some sort of management plan approved for its top executives/large holders to generate personal liquidity. But, how do you view it from investors' perspective ? There could by as well more of these disclosures in the future. Would such initiatives not put a pressure/cap on stock price ? Thanks

Q: Not a question just a statement. Here is a reminder for us long term holders of Knight Therapeutics on what the investment horizon may be.

"For investors, if their investment horizon is not their grandchildren, we are not the right company for them. Paladin had 19 years of record revenues but for 12 of those years, our stock was flat. It took us 19 years to become an overnight success." - Jonathan Ross Goodman
