Complex negotiations that are material to a company's future...

Complex negotiations that are material to a company's future take time. It is almost unfortunate that the negotiation has to be conducted during the suspension due to the CR. You may be right in your scenario, but in my opinion a more likely scenario is that it is a negotiation is critical for the company's future and the management are seeking to get the best long term deal for shareholders. I particularly think your scenario is unlikely due to the consistent reporting of substantial potential partner interest in the green ammonia project, and this delay fits in with that constant reporting.
