Absolutely right. It makes much sense.

It is a fact that interested, "big" investors (informed partners?) have three options to get into POET:

1.: Buying all they can get in this narrow market, which would make this investment very expansive, - as the shares are in long hands

2.: Doing direct deals with other highly invested shareholders (cross trades with e.g. the persons exercising options)

3.: shaking the tree and manipulating the SP until SL are triggered or hands get nervous.

I clearly can see that options 2 and 3 are used (in combination?) to gain big positions before AGM.

My questions:

A.: Why is the IR(CC) and management watching these activities without counter measurements? What can they do?

B.: Is there a notification of voting right in the TSX or IIROC or SEC? Are there certain trigger values that holders have to notify, when e.g. gaining more than 5% of the free float?

Long and strong – but getting also nervous… TF
