Sag4tag, you asked the following question:

Can NOT make a PP  with one of these majors while sharing information that is not yet public? 

The answer is absolutely.

Otherwise, what benefit would there be for a major to sign a confidentiality agreement? There are both Pros and Cons from a major's perspective for signing such an agreement. It has been discussed previously here on the forum that once a major signs an agreement, one of the conditions is that they are no longer able to buy shares on the open market. After signing this agreement, their only alternative for acquisition of shares is either through a announced PP or via a direct ownership acquisition with the company.

If a major was not able to act on information "yet to be made public", and had to wait for information as it is released,  like the rest of us, there would be zero benefit for them to sign in the first place.

On another note, I see that there are many views as to what will transpire regarding the warrant exercise/expiration date. After reading all your responses and taking everything into account, my feeling is that yes indeed, it will be a "barn burner"of a week.

Time will tell and good luck to all.

Cheers,
