The value of a "we're aware of the situation" is basically nil as it's inconceivable that they're not aware of it (unless you hold them to be utterly incompetent or living in some sort of a bubble). The law (and lawyers) move slowly so I suspect it's going to be some time before they have anything useful and if you can't say anything useful why say anything at all?
