Recall that management was a big buyer of the debentures and had to get regulatory approval to exceed participation beyond 25% of the first tranche and basically took down 50% at a time when there was a lack of interest by market participants.
So in buying the company debt they are hanging their hat on the success of POET. They do have a lot of options which is certainly a safe way of participating in the future of the company but to also participate heavily in the debenture I think was very indicative of their confidence in the future of this company.
"I wish I could buy stock" was a statement I heard at the last meeting I was at. I do not know whether that was due to regulatory issues and a timing thing or "no cash to buy more". I think they are not allowed to buy at this time.
