Due to delayed ingest of a small amount of data from the Pan-STARRS1 telescope
(Chambers et al. 2016, arXiv:1612.05560C), we report 5 candidates in addition
to those already announced in GCN 24210. bPC denotes the probability
contour within which the transient is found according to the S190425z LAL
Interference map (Singer, GCN 24228).
