Q: What do you think about their announced NCIB? Since they are a growth by acquisition growth company, they have a tendency to issue shares and they need their available cash. Why would they start buying back shares in this case? Are they just trying to ‘stick it’ to the short sellers? Seems like a weird capital allocation strategy to me.

Q: ABBV is mentioned and recommended frequently in the 5I questions. I have heard that Humira is its strongest asset; is that the case? A BNN guest the other day referred to Humira coming off patent in 2023; does this affect its long term prospects? The company has a very healthy dividend, especially for a US entity; is this sustainable in the long term? Any other comments about ABBV? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: I was interested in Jeff's follow-up comment on Excelon sales declining. Who sold it before Knight in Latam and Canada? Perhaps the reason the company made a deal with Knight is to improve visibility and awareness while giving Knight's sales force new avenues for it's other products.
The price tag does not appear to be a bargain (Knight paid $360M or double for $250M sales in Biotoscan). Surely Goodman sees value in this deal. If there was no effort before then potential must be factored in and I suspect Latam is the more coveted marketplace. Can you comment and provide any previous history with sales of this product. Alzheimers us unfortunately, not going anywhere soon.

Q: Just a further comment to James' question and your answer regarding the Exelon purchase. This purchase left me scratching my head. I am a healthcare provider who works in the area where Exelon would be used. I don't see much Exelon used. As you indicated, it is a mature product. However, revenues have been declining over several years, at least according to Macrotrends (available at https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/EXC/exelon/revenue) so I don't know what rabbit GUD can pull out to wring increased revenues from this medication.
