Ann: Extension to Closing Date of Share Purchase Plan, page-124

Nor has to be one of the only stocks that continuously releases announcements about their sales pipeline, most just announce deals when they are done. I honestly believe it is hurting their chances of landing deals.

Imagine being IT director at a bank and seeing these announcements about how you're weeks away from signing with them. Or being MasterCard/visa and seeing announcements about a major credit card company looking to do business, or the blurred bt logo a while back.

If nothing else they are putting themselves in a very weak negotiating position as it's obvious they need these deals more than the people they are negotiating with.
