I'm updating you guys on a warning issued in this video about POET Technologies.
http://www.bnn.ca/Video/player.aspx?vid=548903
An investment manager warns about the risk of Pinetree (PNP) liquidating their stake in PTK/POETF.
Its true, Sheldon Inwentash the (ex)CEO of Pinetree was recently removed as CEO because his Fund was in breach with a debt covenant. They negotiated a Forbearance Agreement, which gave him more time, but he has to come up with +- $20 mil by this summer, so the chance is more than likely that PNP needs to sell some of their assets to cure the default on that debenture.
I hope my succinct explanation is accurate, correct me if I'm wrong, but thats how I understand it.
If you wish to know more please research this whole issue in detail. (I'm no expert in these matters)...
Whatever the outcome, Sheldon & PNP hold a substantial amount of Common shares, as well as Warrants & Options. (See below) He/they could do some serious damage if they were somehow forced to sell. Don't know if they'll sell PTK/POETF but lets not be naive either. With a grand total of nearly 30 mil shares that does pose a potential threat that can't be denied. Matter of fact he did sell a portion 10 days ago or so, tho this was a private transaction, not affecting the public market. We shall see how this pans out...
