Firstly I accept your comments re the quarterly etc, but that's not the issue i had.
Let me put it another way....
If you're invested in a company (A40 in this case) and have read the quarterly and news from day dot and assumed (Yes I know we should never assume), you were pretty much up to date with all the facts, then.....WAIT
A company (...Insert Name Here) comes out with an announcement that mentions the company you're invested in, about what may or may not be happening and and it's the first you've heard of (....Insert Name here) saying this or that about the company you're invested? .....almost like someone knows a secret and you're the last to know. In our case last to know said company's name because it could have been anyone who was selected or is being considered to do the job but again you were last to know. Wouldn't you be a bit annoyed?
Granted we know the history and past business relationship BUT I'd rather hear it from the company I've invested in or a joint statement.
