This is not entirely correct. In many jurisdictions, if I stand up in a
press conference and say "I will give $10 to someone who can show me I'm
wrong" and someone does, then I am in a legally binding oral contract.
A written press release made by a legally authorized agent of a corporation,
when it is sufficiently explicit that the person is acting in that capacity,
would probably stand binding as a contract.

Warning: I am not a lawyer, and you are not paying me for this advise, so
DON'T TRUST IT.
