The statements are contradicting. You don't announce that a deal is on hold unless you're questioning whether you're committed. That is like telling your fiance the wedding is on hold. I'm hopeful just the tweet saying the deal was on hold will be considered a violation of the agreement as it will clearly affect the stock price.
