Would not Management and all directors / advisors, with options/warrants assigned for them, go ahead and execute "all" warrants and options, in and out of the money to be the prime example?

All their options and warrants bring money into POET's bank as well.

LEAD by example. The excercise from SV and TM was only a small drop into a huge Warrant/Option pool that is assigned and granted. If money is needed, start the excersize of those.

And if they are too far out of the money, do everything to get the SharePrise to where it was when POET unlisted. This will also ensure to have Insti's buying in again that only opperate above the 5 USD threshold.

This will certainly incentivize the excersize of them. Or am I thinking wrong here?

Get the price up and let the warrant acceleration clause kick in.
