Actually, even that's not *completely* correct.
You need to be "compliant with the act" by the 13th. If you WON'T be fully 
compliant by then, you have the option of submitting a DRIP (details of 
how you INTEND to be compliant, timeframes, etc). IF your DRIP is 
submitted and accepted/approved by the 13th (remember they need 60 days to 
assess it), then you are still compliant.

The remaining condition is that you DON'T submit a DRIP, you are then 
ASSUMED to be fully compliant by the 13th - and you had better be!
