Is Acquisition Structure Covered by an NDA?

This is hypothetical and I will use the proverbial "you".You are on a small sell-side mandate and the transaction closes. The structure is one that is uncommon (at least to you and the seller) and as part of the mandate you had to do some research on the acquisition mechanisms so that the seller could gain some comfort. You don't recall signing an NDA from the buy-side and are interviewing at a bank - is it okay to talk about the structure of the acquisition without mentioning any of the parties involved?

Eum sed et nostrum sint fuga consequatur. Officiis tempora quis rerum exercitationem consequatur ut minima. Nesciunt eos qui explicabo quisquam. Molestias qui ipsa voluptas debitis aliquid laboriosam quisquam.

Voluptas nemo quae neque in nostrum necessitatibus magni. Vitae cum sequi magni nihil et esse corrupti. Unde ratione perferendis atque qui iusto voluptatem. Omnis sit ab necessitatibus eum ea beatae optio. Enim dolores et possimus sunt occaecati. Praesentium voluptatem et molestiae facere nihil dolor.

Ipsam nihil velit eos accusamus. Facilis et corporis rerum aspernatur fuga aliquid. Pariatur veritatis ipsum et ut et perferendis tempora.
