As Rainer previously suggested:  Give shareholders tradable subscription rights for new shares, so that everyone has a fair chance to participate in the capital raise themselves.

Rainer and IAS I agree. That is what POETs long term and loyal shareholders deserve. What all of us deserve and what we can get are often disconnected but I think this is doable.

Shareholders here have become friends and kind of like family. We all don’t  think the  same  way  and  that  is for sure  but  I  think we all have common interests to participate in the success of this  company. I think there is a lot of trust that has been earned by management in making the steps necessary to bring this technology to market ASAP as required by the customers who need this this platform to recover profitability.  And most certainly the world needs to find solutions to limit the growing energy demands of the digitally connected society and the growth of IoT.  

In talking with a POET friend recently when speculating on the special meeting my comment still holds true: Suresh would not do anything that would put us in harm's way. He is leading this company to greatness and devoted shareholders have remained here for so long because we believe in Suresh.

It feels like POET is on the verge of great success but there have been many loyal shareholders who have suffered along the way.

Clearly there are many on this forum that are afraid of the unknown. So number one need will be for management to explain how an uplisting would work in detail. Next I think we need to ensure that in the short term shareholders do not suffer any harm.

As stated a possible solution to providing fairness to all existing shareholders is to offer rights. And those rights should be tradable.  

I hope that management will give this careful consideration. Your shareholders deserve this.

I am  in full support unless  management can provide a reasonable explanation why not.
