"....I'm parsing words here again, but it is interesting to note that they used the plural "they" but the singular "transaction." Hmmmm. Not sure what that means. Maybe nothing...."
Definitely means nothing. And it was in reference to "financing options". You could spin it into meaning multiple financings.
"....And it is interesting that they are talking about something - perhaps - being "duly executed." That sort of makes me think that they are moving towards agreement execution...."
C'mon. As a lawyer you know that "duly executed" simply means that all the legal stuff has been completed. In other words, "When something happens, we'll let you know about it.".
