no cash payment, page-10

You only need a do a trading halt for an announcement such as a payment if it could be leaked before the planned announcement date. And when you are in the final steps of negotiating a deal, or when something has gone wrong which could crash the SP and you need a few days to sort it out, from here they have a few days before the stock must re enter trade….
