I used to do this all the time back in the day, it was rare to cut checks on the spot.
Yes, that seems to be the case. It sounded less "contingency" and more bureaucracy. They even showed me the check, but somehow they can't give it out. Liquidity?

Anyway, pickup was smooth and uneventful. The only negative surprise was finding out that CPO is non-transferable.
