Explanation:
This is the only date mentioned.

Asker: Thanks a lot! Makes sense, although I have never heard such wording in English. Thank you for your speedy reaction.

Asker: Sorry, I have to retract my earlier agreement with this solution. Big apologies, but now I believe your solution is not what is meant here.

Asker: I think this is to vague. I believe it should mean "after this information becomes publicly known".
