I didn't think the announcement had to be that far in advance, but announcing beforehand is required so it's considered an actual "public dissemination of information." otherwise, someone in a company could tip off some hedge fund buddies to be ready to buy a bunch of stock, announce a call and have it before the rest of the market could attend / listen in, and say the purchases were based on "public information." I don't recall hearinf this, but from the board earlier this morning...
