Poetry n Pain,

The deal needs POET shareholders to approve, agree, that will NOT be a problem.  But that does not insure that the deal closes - the buyer can step away from the deal under some circumstances, or delay the closing.  I just don't want people to be misled into thinking the shareholder approval is the final step - the final step will be the deal actually closes and the agreed upon consideration changes hands.

If all that was left was the POET shareholders approval, this stock would not be trading in such moribund fashion.  The closing of that deal is worth some material upgrade to our market cap, IMO., even with knowledge that qualifications are not yet final.  If that news of final acceptance by various customers comes along as part of the deal closing news, then we're really talking!
