Exactly. The company would never agree to a hard amount. Minimum? Maybe, but that still takes away flexibility.

Even if it said “shall” offer SILs, the company could’ve offered 3 and been in compliance. Nothing changes the fact that the SIL language was negotiated on the basis of the company offering a substantial amount of them in what would’ve truly been a win/win scenario. They decided to welch on their end of the spirit of the deal. They anticipated a cost either way. It seems they underestimated the cost of the choice they made.
