There is uncertainty about the reason for the lateness of the PR, but it's not good to project into that vacuum an understanding that is favorable to our interests as fact. There are any number of reasons why it might have been late: 1) Solomon was traveling 2) Everyone forgot 3) No one particularly cares about observing timelines 4) EC was unavailable to consult 5) they were debating a 1% or 2% payout, etc.

Based on a reply I received from Peter in IR this afternoon, it would appear to be a matter of semantics regarding the meaning of the phrase or the words "by the end of 2Q."

They apparently believe they were correct, forthcoming and on schedule with the PR issued today. Or at least that is his story.
