It can be their plan of course. If so, then they might want to wait with the cash dividend announcement till the Q3-report so that they don't push the PPS way up now only to have it fall down again after the distribution - they do need to find a way to keep fed-up longtimers...
However, that would mean that they are planning (and depending) on filing on time Might happen of course and they did choose to wait till the Q-report to declare the cash dividend policy, so they might be planning the same again
