Maybe it's just me...

The point seems to be a rate *increase*, yet nowhere in the press release is
it stated what the rate was originally. Was the quarter-mil the increase? or
was the rate increased from X to a quarter-mil? If the former, someone
please say that the word "more" should be inserted after "$250,000." If the
latter, what was X?

Puzzled,

Dov
