Often filings coincide w/ deals closing. Everything else gets teed up and when it all looks like a go (signature pages in hand), filings get filed, then the wires move... I think this is a positive in terms of the timing of events.
Acquisitions are being paid for with cash, at least the ones we know about. Cash comes from $350M funding deal. Funding deal requires restricted shares as collateral which can be issued at anytime now that A/S increase is official.
I don't see any more delays and suspect we start seeing a slew of pr's announcing closings once Dean gets the money any day now.
