seems that if POET is going to grow at the rate some anticipate on this board it is likely that POET has a medium and long term financial model that they have developed for multiple scenarios. Unlikley we would see a reverse split unless there is a serious negative regarding the technology. They have suffiicent money to fund their historical activity but given where they want to go, the anticipated executive and CEO hirings, new offices, new Board and significantly more R&D, legal, patents etc it is likely that in some of ther financial scenarios they have modelled a need for a significant capital and debt raise to put them on solid financial footing for the next 5 yeras or so so that they have more options and flexibility. What better time to do that then at the time of announcing their completion of milestones, new CEO, NRE, and new contracts and partners. This could all probably be coincident with a NASDAQ listing. My guess is that POET at the SAGM may seek approval to become an American corporation listed on NASDAQ. They might not pursue this if they were bought by Apple as a foreign company to allow Apple to acquire them with their foreign funds.
