So the new CEO has not committed yet?
He is keeping one foot inside the door of his old company, and one foot in the door of his new company, and will lift one foot, or the other upon finding out what the prototype results are?
So if he is standing in this position, he is considered committed enough to taking a position with Poet that he is allowed to make the COO selection?
All highly unusual to picture this type of scenario, right?
So there must be more to it than that, but what is it?
