Maybe a new partner. Hmmmmm. Interesting.

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.

CLSN Confidential Treatment Order


Definition of 'Confidential Treatment Order - CTO'
An order that provides confidential treatment for certain documents and information, that a company would otherwise have to file. A confidential treatment order (CTO) is issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and may only be in effect for a certain period of time, rather than indefinitely.

Hate to burst your bubble, but usually they're nothing. CT Orders are usually just to keep bits and pieces of exhibits and things attached to and correlating with 8-K's, contracts, etc., that they don't want public; even if they have to disclose the document.

i.e. Me & you sign a clothing supply business contract, and you want to redact in the public document that you get your supplies from sweatshops in Korea. You'd file a CT order to redact an item like that.

Don't get me wrong, I hope it's something massive, but they're really usually nothing. Sorry.
