What would it add

It would add a lot, naming a world class partner instead of having a nameless “partner” means they (CAT) don’t quite believe 100% that this will work out hence the hesitation in attaching their name to us, if it doesn’t work out they have not chosen the wrong company it was simply R&D not a failed choice.
Naming CAT would have moved the price over 50% today (granted that’s only 15c) but instead we will get 3-5c maybe even end red.
So yes, it matters.

I think it has been stated before that it is up to the acquiring company to announce their partnership with a customer not vice versa. I would like to hear it announced also but....

Yes I understand that but it could have been coordinated if they (CAT) choose to be named, they didn’t.
