For the record, the exact same alinea (word by word) was in the PI press release back in 2011.

It is important to note that a third party valuation is not an indication of interest by any party, nor does it represent an actual offer to purchase the POET intellectual property. As indicated in the report, the POET Technology is still under development, and no assurances can be given that such development will be successfully completed, that the technology will be brought to commercial realization or that the Company’s target markets will adopt this technology. Commercial applications of the technology will likely not be available for several years, if ever.

I wasn't invested in POET/OPEL at the time, so I don't know if there was a lot to do about this text back then.
