Part of it is regulatory for public companies.....I forget the exact deadline but it's a few days. However, your legal advisors, who are always overly concerned with legal tail risks, want it out right away.

Now, if you're really close to the deadline, the difference of one hour could be the difference between making a SEC violation or not.
