POET Technologies: Our business could be negatively impacted as a result of shareholder activism.

Hi POET Technologies, welcome to the Internet!

Yes, you are right, this is a risk. And your closed-lips policy might indeed be a way to mitigate it, because shareholder activists won't be able to comment on any facts they don't know about. On the other hand, it could create the impression that there are no facts at all, no progress, no nothing. Well, there might be better ways to handle shareholder activists than repulsing them.

Anyway, the problem won't go away. Learn to deal with it!
