Given that Oklo is a publicly traded company, and major financial deals may have material effects on stock, there are procedures for handling those deals as if some folks know about a (potential) deal but others do not, you can get into trouble with insider information. By public announcing the negotiations and intent then the handling of information—especially with-in Oklo—can perhaps be more flexible and less siloed, which allows more folks to talk about what's going (both internally and externally). This way the negotiating team can (e.g.) pull in any random employee into a meeting to talk about (say) technical details about connections, power factors, support, without having to worry about 'internal embargoes'.
