I think you will know when the QP is over by virtue of the announcement of the closing of the BSDS and Mobot deals.
On your second point it has been repeated here that material news must be disclosed during the QP. Therefore, by definition, that leaves the following to be disclosed after the end of the QP: 1."non-material" developments which have occurred during the QP; and 2. "Material" developments that were on ice and not consummated until the QP was over for fear it may boost the stock price before the closing of the mergers.
FWIW, I think JP and I are talking about the same thing.
