I'd have thought AZN would have had a nod and a wink before going for this deal.

EU's actions may have damaged the Oxford vaccine take up in EU yet other countries are willing to put their faith in the vaccine. The court will judge the facts but the court of the people could have already decided EU have a case to answer re damaging the vaccine safety protocol to hide poor leadership, etc?

Japan's approval of the COVID 19 vaccine is good news given the European backdrop.

I see Alexion is over $175 per adr - yet AZN remains below £86 per share.

In one way the CEO's pay is, in my opinion, a deliver or be sacked for under performing ultimatum; interestingly the ultimatum being set by the Board.

The Alexion deal received shareholders' approval. The drop in the share price, initially put down to the price and fears over integration, remains in part.

I think it could take a few quarters before the City warms to the deal?

Firstly I accept executive pay should be fair. What I don't accept, if a company buys another then pay shouldn't go up to reflect a bigger business - if an executive works 12hrs for the firm buying the company, after the merger does it mean the executive has to work 15 hrs+ day , more than likely executive(s) are appointed to take the burden off the CEO.

If Alexion needs AZN to bankroll its pipeline then the balance of power is with AZN - AZN doesn't need to buy 100% of Alexion but a smaller % and access to the future pipeline.

Live Coronavirus latest news: Europe will not renew order for extra AstraZeneca vaccine doses

The European Commission has not renewed its order for AstraZeneca vaccines beyond June, amid legal disputes and a pivot towards the Pfizer jab.

According to the European Internal Market Commissioner, Thierry Breton, Europe will not order additional doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab moving forward. The European Commission could have triggered a clause for additional 100 million doses of the vaccine.

"We did not renew the order after June. We’ll see what happens," said Breton, adding that it was "a very good vaccine".

Such a move is not unexpected amid fraught relations. Last month the Commission launched legal action against AstraZeneca for not respecting its contract for the supply of Covid-19 vaccines and for not having a "reliable" plan to ensure timely deliveries.

And this week the bloc cemented its desire to use the Pfizer-BioNTech for the bulk of its rollout moving forward. Yesterday, the European Commission agreed to a massive contract extension for a potential 1.8 billion doses of the mRNA vaccine through 2023.

Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, said her office has approved a contract for a guaranteed 900 million doses with the same amount of doses as a future option.

The new agreement, which has the unanimous backing of the 27 EU member nations, will entail not only the production of the vaccines but also making sure that all the essential components are sourced from the EU.

Meanwhile the head of the Oxford University vaccine group urged wealthy countries, including the UK, to share available vaccines with the rest of the world before pursuing plans to offer citizens booster shots.

"We're facing an absolute calamity," Prof Pollard told BBC, pointing to research which shows that around 30,000 people around the world will die from Covid-19 today alone.

Maybe it is just that nutters have appeared? (not you Beckers).
