This settlement occurred during Patriot's current financial quarter, which ends February 28, 2008, and for which financial reports will be due for filing with the SEC by the second week of April, 2008. Information applicable to this settlement will be included in those reports to the extent required of the company, yet consistent with the confidentiality restrictions imposed by the settlement pursuant to guidance from Patriot's professional legal and accounting advisors.
My guess is that there will be an attempt to hide amounts within the overall numbers and not allow for an ability for anyone to distinguish the specific amounts paid by any 1
company. I think we'll see quit a few more signings between now and Feb 28.
This is all in line with the spike we'll see in late march when the monsterously large earnings and or dividends are preannunced.
