Everything became technically official yesterday via Form 3 filings.  The DEF-14 just needs to be submitted electronically.

The PRE-14 must be filed at least 20 business days prior...more precisely:

the prospectus is sent (by first class mail or any other means designed to assure reasonably prompt delivery) or given to prospective investors at least 20 business days prior to (a) the date on which the meeting of security holders is held or (b) if no meeting is held, the earlier of the date of the vote, consent or authorization, the date the transaction is consummated or the date the securities are purchased,

The Form3 must be filed within 10 business days of event...more precisely:

This Form must be filed within 10 days after the event by which the person becomes a reporting person (i.e.,officer, director, ten percent holder or other person). This Form and any amendment is deemed filed with the Commission or the Exchange on the date it is received by the Commission or the Exchange

..........I love the capitulation on the day after the Form 3's were submitted...not to mention the day that Fosgitt was to speak.  So Many......So Clueless.
