Actually, Linda DID say “by around the end of the third quarter this year” at the ASM according to the transcript provided by IkeEsq:

5. Sawston

"The next category of subject matter that was asked about was the Sawston, UK facility. I think probably a number of the questions came before our announcement, our press release last week which was on this subject. And I hope everybody had a chance to see our press release last week. Because it was announcing that a quite important milestone was reached. The milestone was the completion and the submission to the UK regulatory authority, the FDA of the UK, of the whole application package for the initial licensing of the Sawston facility. I think everyone knows, but just to provide the background, all facilities that produce medical products for human patients are required to be licensed by the regulator in that country. Every facility has to go through this. And the application that was submitted and that we announced last week as we said in the announcement, was the culmination of more than two years of work by a large team and a whole lot of expert consultants. So that was a quite important step, a quite important milestone. Looking ahead, looking forward, we are hopeful that the process, the next steps are for the regulatory authority to make an on-site inspection, in person of the facility. There’s some lead-time for scheduling that, there’s some time involved in the regulatory authority writing up the results after the inspection and if there is anything to address then having that be addressed. So we are hopeful that that process those steps will proceed quickly over the coming months. And we hope to have the initial license for the Sawston facility by around the end of the third quarter this year. Something in that time frame. Once we have the initial license, then we expect to begin producing vaccine products for our existing programs as we’ve been doing at the small facility in London that we’ve been using up ‘til now. So that’s the update on the Sawston facility and the discussion related to the questions we got on that."
