Example of a Confidential Treatment Order For example, a company may apply for a confidential treatment order by completing a confidential treatment request to keep information regarding a pricing arrangement made with a potential acquisition target secret. This request could be made on the basis that the company's competitors may use this information to go after the target with a more competitive price. Other common items kept confidential include milestone payments and other technical specifications.
