Sure looks like Maxine put the shackles on the Pooet for at least the next 12 months. I could be wrong ,but from reading the exemption clause, it would appear that the company may be entertaining an equity stake,a joint venture and or a sale of part or all of the company. I don't see any other way for POET to continue operating as a going concern,past the new year. THis small raise will

Financing with LMR is exempt. How long has Poet been talking with this British hedge fund?

[maestrodrumboe]

Bingo!! Never heard of them..but they manage 10.8 billion$$ US in Assets and a Company like POET may just blend well in their soup bowl. just speculating on my part,of course LMR Partners is a British multi-strategy investment firm. It has a focus on global macro and event-driven investment strategies and makes use of both systematic and discretionary trading strategies. The firm is

You guys are connecting dots better than other board! Not guud for the SH if any of this is turns out to be true.

[maestrodrumboe]

So back to my wild and far fetched theory.. Say a Hedge fund was willing to invest in Poet at X$, say around $1.50,but not @ $4 or $5 The Maxine offer is used to drive down the price from $4-5 dollars  to the currrent level, Poet releases the blank prospectus with no price and blank dollar amount,knowing that this will have a similar affect on the SP as it did back in 2016. and Whala!..

That is the only common sense CONCLUSION if take it all in, without hallucinating.

Guud god, I spit out my goat milk after reading this. Poet is Guud, management is not so Guud. SH will get decimated when this goes back to 10c.

To add to your conspiracy theory, why the hell did Zacks cut its target price so much? Yes, delays have pushed out revenues but the $200M no. it was using for 2026 is now going to happen in 2027 so just discount from that point in time. Present value is the sum of ALL future cash flows.

Poet has been in London before. In the Taylor days. Recording the infamous Nasdaq in June YT video. Or it is new contacts. About us. LMR Partners is a global alternative investment manager that was founded in November 2009. The firm manages over US$ 10 billion in assets and has offices in London, Hong Kong, New York, Zurich, Dubai and Glasgow.

A buyout at $15 would have been better. Right now Poet can be had for $1.50. Hey, they are in Dubai. Who else is in Dubai? Not a pretty picture.

And maybe explains which 1000 lb Elephant has been sitting on the shear price. The picture maybe getting clearer. Seen it whith a coal miner, that got absolutely decimated in shear price, just before a take over.

[wintersun10]

Any deals with such a Global Fund would not originate from Mika. That might come from the CEO or other BOD members. The disregard for the shear price does not bode well for the existing shear holders.
