Did you read the whole document?
The correspondence from the DOE stated that NVX was prohibited from
disclosing its selection for negotiation of a financial award prior to the DOE
making a public announcement about the matter. NVX was advised by DOE that
failure to abide by this requirement could result in forfeiture of the opportunity.
In the opinion of NVX, a reasonable person would not have expected NVX to
disclose its selection for grant funding by the DOE while that selection remained
confidential and subject to further negotiations with the DOE, if the
consequence of such disclosure was loss of the opportunity to secure the grant
from the DOE.
