sears canada put out their earnings a week earlier than scheduled; any thoughts on why?

given shld own cash position (ie w/o scc) and their recent purchases of sears canada stock perhaps some buyout offer is coming?

shld is scheduled to release earnings 5/28

perhaps they wanted the earning out for a while prior to making an offer?

also one would think any offer would be w ackman already on board and as such, they would probably need to release latest earnings for him to look at, prior to agreeing to anything

thoughts??
