Maybe it’s deferred from earlier in their tenure

Maybe it’s deferred from earlier in their tenure. Wouldn’t have looked good to accept anything, even if standard operating procedure, when the company was on hold and shedding dead weight. Now the safety hold is resolved and we’re about to be back to normal activities (you could argue we already are back to normal activities despite the new hold since we wouldn’t start a trial until the fda approved the protocol) so it’s a safer time to take some options.

That’s just a guess though. Only other option is bought out tomorrow for three digits plus a new microwave oven.
