I think the most appropriate course of action would be for management to release an update that clearly lists every party either by name (where possible e.g. GSK) or a common tag that they will use in all future announcements (e.g. US FMCG or EURO FMCG).

Under each of those headings they should list each project that is currently being worked on and its status.

E.g. it would go something like this:

Company Name 1

> Project Name 1
>> Status of Project Name 1

>Project Name 2
>> Status of Project Name 2

Company Name 2

> Project Name 1
>> Status of Project Name 1

etc, etc....

This will clearly outline where everything is up to and doesnt have to breach any confidentiality clauses.
