Among other things, the financing PR contained very meaningful cautionary language what appears to be a "Bespeaks Caution Doctrine":

WE UNDERTAKE NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE OR REVISE ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT TO REFLECT EVENTS, CIRCUMSTANCES, OR NEW INFORMATION AFTER THE DATE OF THE FOREGOING OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF UNANTICIPATED OR OTHER SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.

Looks like the possibility exists there could be no 8-K filing whatsoever.

The Bespeaks Caution Doctrine

The bespeaks caution doctrine is a judicially created rule providing that cautionary language meeting the standards of the rule can render forward-looking statements inactionable under securities fraud laws if such forward-looking statements later prove to be incorrect. The rationale is that the cautionary language negates the reasonableness of reliance on the forward-looking statements as well as the materiality of such statements.
