INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Confidential Treatment Order - CTO'
Companies would typically seek a CTO in order to keep information that would otherwise put it at a disadvantage, a secret. For example, a company may apply for such an order to keep information regarding a pricing arrangement made with a partner, secret, since competitors finding out this information may go after the partner with a more competitive price.

Is this all that unusual when there is a partnership arrangement? As I understand it, a CTO is authorized by the SEC mostly to avoid putting a company, or companies involved in partnership, at undue risk from competitors.

GERN filed the CTO to exclude an exhibit from the 10K statement. That is all.
