"POET’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Suresh Venkatesan, commented, “We believe this offer, and the anticipated agreements, once completed, represent a compelling opportunity to leverage our assets and inject non-dilutive capital into POET.  The deal further allows POET to pursue a ‘fab-light’ strategy with a less capital-intensive business model that is focused on growing the Optical Interposer business through targeted investments in the design, development and sale of vertical market solutions.  At the same time, a well-funded partner capable of making investments in both DenseLight and in additional manufacturing capacity will both support the anticipated ramp of POET’s Optical Interposer and transform DenseLight into a world-class manufacturer with global market reach.  In addition to being one of its potentially largest customers, we expect to remain engaged with DenseLight and its partner over the long term for the benefit of both companies.  We are very excited about the potential that this represents for all parties to this proposed transaction.”

It might be a good idea for some new members of this board to go over some of POET's previous news releases.
