I believe this will work fo you:
=IF(ISERROR(IF(A3="Yes","Latest Update",IF(MID(A3,FIND("/",A3,FIND("/",A3)+1)+1,4)>=2017,IF(MID(A3,FIND("/",A3)+1,2)>="05",IF(MID(A3,FIND("/",A3)-2,2)>"12","Latest Update","Pending"),"Pending")))),"Pending",IF(A3="Yes","Latest Update",IF(MID(A3,FIND("/",A3,FIND("/",A3)+1)+1,4)>=2017,IF(MID(A3,FIND("/",A3)+1,2)>="05",IF(MID(A3,FIND("/",A3)-2,2)>"12","Latest Update","Pending"),"Pending"))))

Just put it in C and then copy it down.
