I can't find the PR that says he will retire in January either. I think the January 2020 time frame for his retirement was probably an earliest possible date he could retire without losing the $2.5M.
Here's a 3rd party link that discusses Frazier and the $2.5M benefit:

Quote:
In September, the Board made the decision to eliminate the Mandatory CEO Retirement Policy, facilitating Mr. Frazier’s continued
leadership as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. As a result of the elimination of the Mandatory CEO Retirement
Policy, Mr. Frazier lost a pension benefit from his tenure prior to becoming CEO. To restore the loss of the benefit, the Board
approved a $2.5 million credit to Mr. Frazier’s deferred compensation account. The credit will be forfeited if his employment ends
before January 2020 (unless due to his earlier death or disability).
