They did announce this a while ago. It could be that it was not clearly worded in the PR.
#1- they applied for this months ago and by next week the name and symbol change is enacted.
#2- they submit the application.
Why make a big deal out of it? In time it will be done. In the mean time company is active and news is forthcoming.
The name and symbol change is less relevant than the core business activity. I'm not saying its irrelevant but it's merely the window dressing for traders not what is establishing value.
I for one would like to know what the asset valuation is much more than I care about seeing a name/symbol change come to fruition.
