J.Jill, Inc. (JILL) shares are coming back to life, up over 80% today, on news of getting 10 more days to avoid bankruptcy. In order to extend debt maturities, it would need to sign a deal with the vast majority of its lenders. That excuses the company from financial agreements and provides it with fresh money.
Jounce Therapeutics, Inc. (JNCE) is a top performer today and is up by over 45%. This comes after the company announced that it had entered into a license contract with Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD). Under the deal, GILD will receive exclusive license for JTX-1811 program.
Gilead pays $85 million in advance, making an investment of $35 million when the deal ends. Additionally, JNCE will be provided up to $685 million in milestone payments.
This is not the first oncological deal by GILD in 2020 as it has already acquired Forty Seven Inc. for $4.7 billion and Pionyr Inc. in a deal valued at $275 million. However, GILD investors look unimpressed by the deal as the stock is down 2%, at last check.
