This is a very intriguing development.
"Company completing certain corporate transactions involving specified third parties"
It looks like he came to them with a deal of some kind, for which he wanted to be compensated. From the size of the checks, it must be good. A company as small as POET and most recently nearly broke, is careful about throwing $1.5M at one "consultant".
Anyone have a guess as to what the guy is is doing for POET?
I'll go first. He is cutting a deal with a module maker that wants to mass produce 800G modules with POET.
Any other possibilities?
