The supply should have no impact in the price - the price should reflect the net present value of the expected dividends.  Increasing the supply doesn't change that.  The only purpose of the announcement it to put a time certain for when the hashing provider is supposed to accrue an additional dividend for remittance back to Bitfinex.

We would strongly caution anyone from continuing to be long TH1 unless you believe that the dividends that you will receive through Dec 15 is more than the current bid price.  For that to be true, BTW, difficulty would have to *drop* 10% every 2 weeks until Dec 15 - so - stay long at your own risk and remember that this is a BETA PRODUCT and Bitfinex will do what it needs to to keep the market rationally priced.  This product is intended as a way to speculate on future difficulty.  Substantial distortions and manipulations will not be tolerated.
