If I understand everything correctly we have reached 250 events, with more than 90% being adjudicated and confirmed...so that's 225+ confirmed MACE with others still undergoing adjudication. I think its obvious that the unconfirmed pile has more than 25 in it....all good. Further the company is expecting that once all the adjudication is done that they'll end up with 260 events or more.
I like the choice of today for the release of the news....I'm operating under the assumption that the company had some wiggle room in terms of timing today's PR. I don't think its unreasonable to suspect that they could perhaps have released this news a few days earlier, or that they could have waited for Monday.
By doing it on the Thursday before Good Friday...a market holiday, it strikes me that the company in no way can be accused of timing the news for maximum impact. Its that whole 'walk softly and carry a big stick' line of reasoning....too often I think they've dropped the stick.
The market now will have 3 days to digest this news.....hopefully they like what they see over the weekend and today proves to be just the start.
Happy Easter all....a time when we are reminded of re-birth and renewal, and that past transgressions are wiped clean.
