The real beauty behind what the company did was they don't even have to pay that shift in PS money to the Noncons. They slapped them with a new program however our share will be calculated using the contractual formula as if they were still in the original program. There were several threads on this and others besides me verified the facts.
In practical terms it will reduce our PS payment for this year just over 2%.
