RE: I WONDER WHYI'm pretty sure it is a case of being able to release one or the other. Either they can release the company or they release the $$$$ amount. This way it keeps the competition from knowing IDC's bidding strategy and pricing.
Releasing the $$$ amount is better for the stock price as it gets more of a reaction (typically) than just stating a new contract with company X but the dollar figures are kept quiet for competitive reasons. Thats a pretty boring release.
Just another example of the change in management and strategies.
