Rhea-AI Filing Summary

POET Technologies Inc. is offering 20,689,656 common shares at US$7.25 per share to institutional investors on Nasdaq, for gross proceeds of US$150,000,006 and estimated net proceeds of about US$142,300,006 after fees and expenses. The company expects 152,711,182 common shares to be outstanding after the deal, compared with 132,021,526 as of December 31, 2025, so new investors will be diluted relative to existing holders. POET plans to use the cash for corporate development, targeted acquisitions, scaling research and development, accelerating its high-speed optical module and light source businesses, expanding operations, and general working capital. The company highlights significant risks around potential share sales pressure, broad discretion in how proceeds are used, complex U.S. and Canadian tax considerations, and possible PFIC and controlled foreign corporation tax treatment for U.S. investors.

Insights

Large primary share sale raises over US$142 million for growth but meaningfully dilutes existing holders.

POET Technologies is conducting a best-efforts primary offering of 20,689,656 common shares at US$7.25, generating gross proceeds of US$150,000,006 and estimated net proceeds of about US$142,300,006. A placement agent fee of 5.0% (US$7,500,000.30) plus roughly US$200,000 of issuer expenses explains the gap between gross and net proceeds.

Post-transaction, shares outstanding are expected to rise to 152,711,182 from 132,021,526 as of December 31, 2025, an increase that drives the stated US$4.36 per-share dilution versus the US$7.25 offering price. The filing also notes sizeable overhang from options, warrants and RSUs that are not part of this registration but could further expand the share count if exercised or vested.

Management plans to allocate the new capital across corporate development, potential acquisitions, R&D scale-up, and expansion of its high-speed optical module and light source businesses, while retaining flexibility to reallocate. The offering includes a 75-day company issuance restriction and 45‑day lock-ups for directors and officers, and details complex U.S. and Canadian tax topics such as potential PFIC status, controlled foreign corporation rules, and treaty-based withholding on dividends, which U.S. and other non-Canadian investors would need to evaluate with advisors.

Intercorporate Structure

S-4

Description of the Business

The Company is a design and development company offering photonic integrated packaging solutions based on the POET Optical Interposer™, a novel platform that allows the seamless integration of electronic and photonic devices onto a single chip using advanced wafer-level semiconductor manufacturing techniques. The semiconductor industry has adopted the term “Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Packaging” to describe similar approaches within the semiconductor industry. POET’s Optical Interposer eliminates costly components and labor-intensive assembly, alignment and testing methods employed in conventional photonics. We believe the cost-efficient integration scheme and scalability of the POET Optical Interposer brings value to devices or systems that integrate electronics and photonics, including high-growth areas of communications and computing. The emergence of artificial intelligence systems has placed extraordinary demands on cloud-based artificial intelligence service providers and hyperscale data centers for increases in network speeds and bandwidth. We believe that chip-scale integration is essential to developing hardware that can meet such demands and that the Company is on the forefront of providing scalable solutions for current and future artificial intelligence systems.

Optical Interposer and Optical Engines

The Company’s Optical Interposer is a platform technology; a technology on which specific products can be integrated and built. The optical interposer platform’s basic elements and built-in features allow the close integration of a wide variety of electronic and photonic components into an “optical engine.” The combination of the platform, selected platform features and a specific set of components define an optical engine product.

Utilizing the Optical Interposer platform, the Company has successfully developed several optical engine products. These products are in various stages of evaluation / qualification by major customers, which are primarily makers of optical modules and, therefore, are in the process of being commercialized. The evaluation / qualification process typically takes several months and often involves a request to make specific modifications to the optical engines or the optical interposer in order to meet either established industry standards or specific customer requirements.

Additional information regarding the business of the Company can be found in the documents incorporated by reference herein, copies of which are available for review under the Company’s issuer profile on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/EDGAR. See “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”

Risk Factors

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk, including those described below. Please see the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report and the “Key Business Risks and Uncertainties” section in the Third Quarter MD&A, along with any disclosure related to the risk factors contained in our subsequent reports, in each case which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as all other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. If any of the events described in such “Risk Factors” and “Key Business Risks and Uncertainties” sections occur, or the risks described herein or therein actually materialize, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or prospects could be materially adversely affected. Risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations, our financial results and the value of our securities.

Sales of a substantial number of our common shares, or the perception that such sales may occur, may adversely impact the price of our common shares.

Sales of a substantial number of our common shares in the public markets could depress the market price of our common shares and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Substantially all of our outstanding common shares may be sold in the public market. If substantial additional common shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our common shares could decline. Sales of a substantial number of common shares in the public market could occur at any time. In addition, the issuance of our common shares in this offering could result in resales of our common shares by our current shareholders who may be concerned about the potential ownership dilution of their holdings. In turn, these sales could have the effect of depressing the market price for our common shares. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our common shares would have on the market price of our common shares.

Our constating documents permit the issuance of an unlimited number of common shares, and any purchasers of our common shares will have no pre-emptive rights in connection with such further issuance. Our directors have discretion to determine the price and the terms of further issuances. We cannot predict the size of future sales and issuances of securities or the effect, if any, that such future sales and issuances of securities will have on the market price of our common shares. The issuance of additional securities and the exercise of common share purchase warrants, stock options and other convertible securities will result in dilution of the equity interests of any persons who are or may become holders of common shares. Sales or issuances of a substantial number of securities, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common shares.

The Company will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering.

The Company currently intends to allocate the net proceeds received from this offering as described under the heading “Use of Proceeds”; however, management of the Company will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as well as the timing of their expenditures. Given the broad discretion given to the Company’s management in the actual application of the net proceeds received from this offering, the Company may elect to allocate proceeds differently from that described under the heading “Use of Proceeds” if the Company believes it would be in its best interests to do so, which may be in ways that an investor may not consider desirable. The failure by the Company’s management to apply any funds received effectively could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations. The results and the effectiveness of the application of the net proceeds are uncertain. If the net proceeds received from this offering are not applied effectively, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer, which could adversely affect the price of the common shares on the open market.

S-9

Investors may not be able to obtain enforcement of civil liabilities against the Company.

The Company has subsidiaries incorporated in the U.S., Singapore, China and Malaysia. Certain directors and officers reside outside of Canada, and substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside of Canada. It may not be possible for Investors to effect service of process against the Company’s directors, officers and subsidiaries who are not resident or located in Canada. In the event a judgment is obtained in a Canadian court against one or more of the Company’s directors or officers for violations of Canadian securities laws or otherwise, it may not be possible to enforce such judgment against those directors and officers not resident in Canada. Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert Canadian securities law claims or otherwise in original actions instituted in the jurisdictions where the Company’s subsidiaries are located. Courts in these jurisdictions may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of Canadian securities laws or otherwise on the grounds that such jurisdiction is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. Even if a foreign court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that the local law, and not Canadian law, is applicable to the claim. If Canadian law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable Canadian law must be proven as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by foreign law.

In addition, the enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal or state securities laws may be adversely affected by the fact that the Company is governed by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (“OBCA”), that several of the Company’s officers and directors are residents outside of the United States and that all, or a substantial portion, of their assets and a substantial portion of the Company’s assets, are located outside the United States. It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States on, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against, the Company or certain of the Company’s directors and officers based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state of the United States.

There is doubt as to whether a judgment of a United States court based solely upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal or state securities laws would be enforceable in Canada against the Company or the Company’s directors and officers. There is also doubt as to whether an original action could be brought in Canada against the Company or the Company’s directors and officers to enforce liabilities based solely upon United States federal or state securities laws.

The Company may be classified as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the current and future fiscal years, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders of our common shares.

The Company would be classified as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year if, after the application of certain look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of the Company’s corporate subsidiaries in which the Company owns at least 25% (by value) of the stock, either: (i) 75% or more of the Company’s gross income for such year is “passive income” (as defined in the relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), or (ii) 50% or more of the value of the Company’s assets (generally determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. Whether the Company is treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 2025, the current taxable year or in the foreseeable future is a factual determination that must be made annually after the close of each taxable year and is dependent on many factors, including the value of the Company’s passive assets, the amount and type of the Company’s gross income and market capitalization. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be classified as a PFIC for the year ended December 31, 2025 or the current or future taxable years. Certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to a U.S. Holder (as defined under the heading “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) if the Company is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which such U.S. Holder holds our common shares. See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations – Passive foreign investment company”.

If a U.S. Holder is treated as owning at least 10% of the common shares, such holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

If a U.S. Holder is treated as owning, directly, indirectly or constructively, at least 10% of the value or voting power of the common shares, such U.S. Holder may be treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to each “controlled foreign corporation” in the Company’s group, if any. If United States shareholders collectively own more than 50% of the voting power or value of the Company or any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, the Company and such non-U.S. subsidiaries each would be classified as a controlled foreign corporation. Additionally, because the Company’s group includes one or more U.S. subsidiaries, the application of certain stock attribution rules under the U.S. tax laws in effect for taxable years of foreign corporations that begin before January 1, 2026 (the “Downward Attribution Rules”) could cause certain of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries to be treated as controlled foreign corporations, regardless of whether the Company is treated as a controlled foreign corporation. The Downward Attribution Rules were amended as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) that was enacted on July 4, 2025. Effective for taxable years of foreign corporations beginning after December 31, 2025, the OBBBA amendments generally prohibit downward attribution from a foreign person, such as the Company, to its non-U.S. subsidiaries for purposes of determining United States shareholder and controlled foreign corporation status. Consequently, the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries generally are not expected to be treated as controlled foreign corporations for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025 solely as a result of the Company’s ownership of U.S. subsidiaries.

S-10

A United States shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation may be required to annually report and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of “Subpart F income,” “net CFC tested income” and investments in U.S. property by controlled foreign corporations, regardless of whether the Company makes any distributions. An individual who is a United States shareholder with respect to a controlled foreign corporation generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a United States shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. Failure to comply with these reporting obligations may subject a United States shareholder to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the running of the statute of limitations with respect to such shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due. The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will assist its investors in determining whether it or any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries are treated as a controlled foreign corporation or whether any investor is treated as a United States shareholder with respect to it or any of such controlled foreign corporations. Further, the Company cannot provide any assurances that it will furnish to any U.S. Holder information that may be necessary to comply with the reporting and tax paying obligations described in this risk factor. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to their investment in our common shares.

As a foreign private issuer, the Company is subject to different U.S. securities laws and rules than a domestic U.S. issuer, which may limit the information publicly available to the Company’s U.S. shareholders.

The Company is a foreign private issuer under applicable U.S. federal securities laws, and, therefore, it is not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and related rules and regulations that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies. In addition, the Company is eligible to utilize the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System adopted by the United States and Canada (“MJDS”), which the Company elects to take advantage of in certain cases (including, for purposes of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part). As a result, the Company does not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC, although it is required to file with or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that it is required to file in Canada under Canadian securities laws. In addition, the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders are currently exempt from the reporting and “short swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. However, beginning on March 18, 2026, our officers and directors will become subject to the reporting requirements contained in Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. Therefore, the Company’s shareholders may not know on as timely a basis when its officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell securities of POET as the reporting periods under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are longer. In addition, as a foreign private issuer, the Company is exempt from the proxy rules under the Exchange Act.

In addition, on June 4, 2025, the SEC published a Concept Release on Foreign Private Issuer Eligibility, inviting public comment on potential amendments to the definition of “foreign private issuer” and the accommodations available for those issuers that qualify as such. If the SEC adopts rules amending the definition of “foreign private issuer” to include requirements that we may not currently comply with, we may lose our status as a foreign private issuer. Even if we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer, the accommodations available to us under applicable Securities Act and Exchange Act requirements may be adversely affected by rules adopted, and other actions taken, in the future by the SEC related to foreign private issuers.

The Company will likely lose its foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses associated with additional disclosure, reporting, and governance requirements under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq continued listing rules (the “Nasdaq Rules”).

The Company expects that, in the future, it may no longer qualify as a “foreign private issuer.” If the Company no longer qualifies as a foreign private issuer, the Company would become subject to the requirements imposed by the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq Rules on U.S. domestic reporting companies, including, but not limited to, the proxy disclosure requirements, events triggering shareholder approval and various corporate governance requirements. The Company would also be required to file annual, quarterly, and periodic reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, respectively, within the time periods required by the Exchange Act, which, in many instances, are significantly shorter than the time periods for foreign private issuers to file the less-extensive periodic reporting required of them. The Company’s directors, officers and 10% or greater holders of the Company’s securities would also become subject to all of the short-swing trading and other requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of their ownership of and transactions in our securities.

The regulatory and compliance costs to the Company under U.S. securities laws as a U.S. domestic issuer might be significantly higher than costs the Company currently incurs as a foreign private issuer, and such compliance could divert the time and attention of senior management from business strategy, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial results.

Capitalization and Indebtedness

The following table sets forth our capitalization and indebtedness as of September 30, 2025, the date of our most recent financial statements:

- on an actual basis ;

- on a pro forma, as adjusted basis after giving effect to issuances of our common shares after September 30, 2025, as of December 31, 2025;

The amounts shown below are unaudited and represent management’s estimate. The information in this table should be read in conjunction with and is qualified by reference to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and other financial information incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Use of Proceeds

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately US$142,300,006.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for corporate development, including targeted acquisitions, scaling up of our research and development, acceleration of our high-speed optical module and light source businesses, expanding operations, and general working capital. We do not have any agreements or commitments for any specific acquisitions at this time. Until the net proceeds have been used, we may invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments.

While we intend to use the net proceeds of this offering as stated above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a re-allocation of funds may be necessary or advisable. The actual amount that use in connection with each of the intended uses of proceeds will depend on a number of factors, including those listed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein.

S-13

Dilution

If you invest in our common shares, you will experience dilution to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering.

Our historical net tangible book value on September 30, 2025 was US$60,631,064, or US$0.66 per common share. “Net tangible book value” represents our total assets minus the sum of liabilities and intangible assets. “Net tangible book value per share” is net tangible book value divided by the total number of common shares outstanding. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of our common shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common shares immediately after completion of this offering. After giving effect to the securities issued by the Company between October 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025, our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 was approximately $300,266,498 or $2.27 per common share.

After giving effect to the sale of 20,689,656 common shares in this offering, and after deducting the placement agent fees and our estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 would have been approximately US$442,266,498, or US$2.89 per common share. This represents an immediate increase in the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of US$0.62 per share to our existing shareholders and immediate dilution of US$4.36 per share to the investors in this offering. The following table illustrates this calculation on a per share basis in U.S. dollars.

Public offering price per common share offered	$	7.25
Historical net tangible book value per common share as of September 30, 2025	$	0.66
Increase in net tangible book value due to the pro forma adjustments	$	1.60
Pro forma net tangible book value per common share as of September 30, 2025	$	2.27
Increase in as adjusted net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering	$	0.62
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering	$	2.89
Dilution per share to new investors in this offering ⁽¹⁾	$	4.36

⁽¹⁾ Dilution is determined by subtracting pro forma net tangible book value per share after giving effect to the offering from the public offering price per share paid by a new investor.

The above discussion and table are based on 91,010,598 common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025, and does not include:

● 8,556,349 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, at a weighted-average exercise price of $1.72 per share;

● 27,822,805 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.82 per share, which warrants are not included in the selling shareholder warrants; and

● 3,098,549 common shares issuable upon the vesting of outstanding restricted share units issued to certain directors and officers of the Company.

The above illustration of dilution per common share to investors participating in this offering assumes no further exercise of outstanding options, warrants or debentures to purchase our common shares. To the extent that any of our outstanding options, warrants or debentures are exercised, or we issue additional common shares, equity securities or convertible debt securities in the future, there may be further dilution to the new investors.

S-14

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion describes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations to U.S. Holders (as defined below) under current U.S. federal income tax law of an investment in the common shares acquired pursuant to this offering. The effects of any applicable state or local laws, or other U.S. federal tax laws such as estate and gift tax laws, or the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income or the alternative minimum tax, are not discussed. This summary applies only to investors who acquire and hold the common shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment) and who have the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency. This discussion is based on the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), all as in effect as of the date of this prospectus supplement. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could adversely affect the tax consequences described below.

The following discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to a holder’s particular circumstances or to holders subject to particular rules, including, without limitation:

	●	U.S. expatriates and certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

	●	persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

	●	persons holding the common shares as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment;

	●	banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions;

	●	real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;

	●	brokers, dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;

	●	S corporations or entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

	●	tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

	●	individual retirement accounts or other tax-deferred accounts;

	●	persons who acquired the common shares pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation;

	●	persons that own or are deemed to own 10% or more of the Company’s stock by vote or value directly, indirectly or constructively;

	●	persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the common shares being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;

	●	persons that hold common shares through a permanent establishment or fixed base outside the United States; and

	●	persons deemed to sell common shares under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.

U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX RULES TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AS WELL AS THE U.S. STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE OFFERED SHARES.

S-15

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of common shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following:

● an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

● a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

● an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

● a trust that (1) is subject to the supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If an investor is an entity taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such investor’s tax treatment generally will depend on the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding common shares and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to them.

Taxation of dividends and other distributions on the common shares

The discussion in this section “Taxation of dividends and other distributions on the common shares” is subject to the discussion regarding PFICs below.

The gross amount of any distribution to a U.S. Holder with respect to the common shares, including any non-U.S. taxes withheld from the amount paid, will be included in such U.S. Holder’s gross income as dividend income when actually or constructively received to the extent that the distribution is paid out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined applying U.S. federal income tax principles). To the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a return of a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the common shares, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds the tax basis, as capital gain. The Company does not intend to calculate its earnings and profits applying U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, a U.S. Holder should expect that distributions will generally be reported as ordinary dividend income. Dividends paid by the Company will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction available to corporations in respect of dividends received from U.S. corporations.

Subject to certain holding period and other limitations, dividends the Company pays to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders may be “qualified dividend income” taxable for regular U.S. federal income tax purposes at preferential tax rates. Non-corporate U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends.

Dividends paid by the Company will be includible in the income of a U.S. Holder in a U.S. Dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate on the day the distribution is received. A U.S. Holder that receives a foreign currency distribution and converts the foreign currency into U.S. Dollars subsequent to receipt may have foreign exchange gain or loss based on any appreciation or depreciation in the value of the foreign currency against the U.S. Dollar, which will generally be U.S. source ordinary income or loss. A loss might not be deductible due to certain limitations.

Dividends will generally constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Any tax withheld with respect to distributions on the common shares may, subject to a number of complex limitations, be claimed as a foreign tax credit against such U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability or may be claimed as a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends generally will constitute “passive category income.” The rules with respect to the foreign tax credit are complex and may depend upon a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisor regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

S-16

Taxation of disposition of the common shares

The discussion in this section “Taxation of disposition of common shares” is subject to the discussion regarding PFICs below.

A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the common shares equal to the difference between the amount realized (in U.S. Dollars) on the disposition and such holder’s tax basis (in U.S. Dollars) in the common shares. Any such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if such U.S. Holder has held the common shares for more than one year at the time of the disposition. Otherwise, such gain or loss will be short-term capital gain or loss. Long-term capital gain recognized by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, generally will be taxable at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any such gain or loss generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the proper treatment of gain or loss in their particular circumstances.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

A non-United States corporation will be a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year if, after applying certain look-through rules with respect to subsidiaries in which the Company owns at least 25% (by vote or value) of the stock, either:

	●	at least 75% of its gross income for such taxable year is passive income, or

	●	at least 50% of the total value of its assets (generally based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during such year) is attributable to assets, including cash, that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income.

If the Company is classified as a PFIC for any year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period with respect to our common shares, then certain adverse rules could affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder resulting from the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the common shares. The Company has not made any determination relating to its PFIC status for the taxable year ended December 31, 2025, the current taxable year or any other year. Because the Company’s PFIC status for any taxable year can be determined only after the end of the year and will depend on the composition of its income and assets and the value of its assets from time to time, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be a PFIC for the year ended December 31, 2025 or the current or future taxable years, and neither the Company nor its U.S. counsel expresses any opinion with respect to the Company’s PFIC status or its expectations regarding its PFIC status.

If the Company is a PFIC for any taxable year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares, it generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such holder’s investment in the common shares for all succeeding years during which such holder holds the common shares. In that event, a U.S. Holder would (unless it made one of the elections discussed below on a timely basis) be taxable on gain recognized on a disposition of the common shares and upon receipt of certain “excess distributions” (generally, distributions that exceed 125% of the average amount of distributions in respect of the common shares received during the preceding three taxable years or, if shorter, during the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the distribution year) as if such income had been recognized ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period. Tax would be computed on such income at the highest ordinary income tax rate in effect for each taxable year to which income is allocated, and an interest charge on the tax as so computed would also apply.

A U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” (as defined below) in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election for such stock to elect out of the tax treatment discussed above. If a U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election for the common shares, such holder will include in income for each year that the Company is treated as a PFIC, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common shares as of the close of such holder’s taxable year over the holder’s adjusted basis in the common shares. Amounts included in a U.S. Holder’s income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of the common shares, will be treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment will also apply to the deductible portion of any mark-to-market loss on the common shares, as well as to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the common shares, in each case to the extent the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains for the common shares previously included in income. A U.S. Holder’s basis in the common shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts.

S-17

The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock,” which is stock that is regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market, as defined in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. The common shares are listed on Nasdaq, which is a qualified exchange. Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for equity interests in any lower-tier PFICs the Company owns, a U.S. Holder generally will continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such holder’s indirect interest in any investments held by the Company that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Investors should consult their tax advisor as to the availability and desirability of a mark-to-market election, as well as the impact of such election on interests in any lower-tier PFICs.

As an alternative to the tax treatment described above, a U.S. Holder could elect to treat the Company as a “qualified electing fund” (a “QEF”), in which case the U.S. Holder would be taxed currently, for each taxable year that the Company is a PFIC, on its pro rata share of the Company’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain (subject to a separate election to defer payment of taxes, which deferral is subject to an interest charge). A QEF election is only available if the PFIC provides timely annual U.S. tax information to a U.S. Holder that makes the election. Special rules apply if a U.S. Holder makes a QEF election after the first taxable year of its holding period in which the Company is a PFIC. In the event that the Company concludes that it will be classified as a PFIC, the Company will also determine at that time whether it will provide U.S. Holders with the information that is necessary to make a QEF election. Amounts includable in income as a result of a QEF election will be determined without regard to the Company’s prior year losses or the amount of cash distributions, if any, received from the Company. A U.S. Holder’s basis in its common shares will increase by any amount included in income and decrease by any distributions of amounts previously taxed under the QEF rules.

If the Company is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owns common shares, it generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to the U.S. Holder for all succeeding years even if it ceases to meet the requirements for PFIC status. Notwithstanding any election made with respect to the common shares, if the Company is a PFIC in either the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year, dividends received with respect to the common shares will not qualify as “qualified dividends” eligible for taxation at reduced federal income tax rates.

A U.S. Holder of a PFIC is required to file an IRS Form 8621. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to an investment in the common shares.

The PFIC rules are very complex. The Company offers no opinion or representation of any kind with respect to its PFIC status. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor with respect to the PFIC rules, including the impact of such status on such U.S. Holder, in light of such U.S. Holder’s particular tax situation, whether to make a QEF election with respect to the common shares and the consequences to such U.S. Holder of not making either a QEF election or a mark-to-market election.

Information reporting and backup withholding

Dividend payments (including constructive dividends) with respect to the common shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or other disposition of the common shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and U.S. backup withholding. Certain U.S. Holders are exempt from backup withholding, including corporations and certain tax-exempt organizations. A U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding if such holder is not otherwise exempt and such holder:

	●	fails to furnish the holder’s taxpayer identification number, which for an individual is ordinarily his or her social security number;

	●	furnishes an incorrect taxpayer identification number;

	●	is notified by the IRS that the holder previously failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or

	●	fails to certify under penalties of perjury that the holder has furnished a correct taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified the holder that the holder is subject to backup withholding.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.

Additional reporting requirements

Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals (and certain entities) that hold an interest in “specified foreign financial assets” (which may include the common shares) are required to report information relating to such assets, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for common shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions). Penalties can apply if U.S. Holders fail to comply with such reporting requirements. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of these requirements to their acquisition and ownership of common shares.

THE ABOVE SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF ALL TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO U.S. HOLDERS WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP, AND DISPOSITION OF THE OFFERED SHARES. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO THEM IN THEIR OWN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES .

S-18

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary, as of the date of this prospectus supplement, of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) and the regulations thereunder (the “Regulations”) generally applicable to an investor who acquires beneficial ownership of our common shares in this offering and who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, (i) deals at arm’s length with the Company and the Placement Agent, (ii) is not affiliated with the Company or the Placement Agent, (iii) acquires and holds the common shares as capital property, (iv) has not been and will not be (and has not been and will not be deemed to be) resident in Canada at any time, and (v) does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, the common shares in carrying on a business in Canada (a “Holder”). Generally, the common shares will be considered to be capital property to a Holder provided that the Holder does not use or hold such securities in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and such Holder has not acquired them or been deemed to have acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

Special considerations, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Holder that is an insurer that carries on (or is deemed to carry on) an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or that is an “authorized foreign bank” (as defined in the Tax Act). Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act and the Regulations in force as of the date hereof and our understanding of the administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) published in writing by the CRA prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the Regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”) and assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, although no assurance can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their current form, or at all. Other than the Tax Proposals, this summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, governmental, administrative or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account or consider any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax considerations, which considerations may differ significantly from the Canadian federal income tax considerations discussed in this summary. This summary also does not take into account or anticipate any change in the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA.

This summary is of a general nature only, is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder. Accordingly, Holders should consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to the tax consequences to them of acquiring common shares pursuant to this offering having regard to their own particular circumstances.

Currency

Subject to certain exceptions that are not discussed herein, for purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of common shares must be expressed in Canadian dollars. Amounts denominated in any other currency must generally be converted into Canadian dollars using the rate of exchange quoted by the Bank of Canada on the day the amount first arose, or such other rate of exchange as is acceptable to the CRA.

Taxation of Dividends

Dividends paid or credited (or deemed to be paid or credited under the Tax Act) to a Holder by the Company on common shares are subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% on the gross amount of the dividend unless such rate is reduced by the terms of an applicable tax treaty or convention. Under the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the “Treaty”), the rate of withholding tax on dividends paid or credited to a Holder who is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Treaty, who is the beneficial owner of the dividends and who is fully entitled to the benefits of the Treaty (a “U.S. Treaty Holder”) is generally limited to 15% of the gross amount of the dividend (or 5% in the case of a U.S. Treaty Holder that is a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10% of the Company’s voting shares). Holders should consult their tax advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under an applicable income tax treaty.

Disposition of Common Shares

A Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain (and will not be entitled to claim a capital loss) realized by such Holder on a disposition (or deemed disposition) of common shares unless such common shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Holder at the time of the disposition and such Holder is not entitled to an exemption from tax pursuant to the terms of an applicable income tax treaty or convention at the time of the disposition.

Generally, provided the common shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the Nasdaq) at the time of disposition, the common shares will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Holder at such time, unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition the following two conditions are met concurrently: (a) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of the capital stock of the Company were owned by or belonged to one or any combination of (i) the Holder, (ii) persons with whom the Holder did not deal at arm’s length (for the purposes of the Tax Act), and (iii) partnerships in which the Holder or a person described in (ii) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of such shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, “Canadian resource property” (as defined in the Tax Act), “timber resource property” (as defined in the Tax Act), and options in respect of or interests in, or for civil law rights in, any such property (whether or not such property exists). The Tax Act may also deem common shares to be taxable Canadian property in certain circumstances.

Even if the common shares are taxable Canadian property of a Holder, such Holder may be exempt from tax under the Tax Act on the disposition of such common shares by virtue of an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

Holders whose common shares are or may be taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.

Each prospectus supplement containing the specific terms of any offering of the Company’s securities, if any, will be filed with the SEC and will be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus as of the date of the prospectus supplement and only for the purposes of the offering of the Company’s securities to which that prospectus supplement pertains.

In addition, this prospectus shall also be deemed to incorporate by reference all subsequent annual reports filed on Form 20-F, Form 40-F or Form 10-K, and all subsequent filings on Forms 10-Q and 8-K (if any) filed by us pursuant to the Exchange Act prior to the termination of the offering made by this prospectus.

The modifying or superseding statement need not state that it has modified or superseded a prior statement or include any other information set forth in the document that it modifies or supersedes. The making of a modifying or superseding statement is not to be deemed an admission for any purposes that the modified or superseded statement, when made, constituted a misrepresentation, an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made. Any statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus.

Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events, conditions, results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events, conditions, results, performance or achievements to differ from what is anticipated, estimated or intended, including those factors described or referred to under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and in the Annual Report, in the Third Quarter MD&A and elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair the Company’s business operations.

All forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference are qualified by this cautionary statement. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Intercorporate Structure

Description of the Business

The Company is a design and development company offering photonic integrated packaging solutions based on the POET Optical Interposer™, a novel platform that allows the seamless integration of electronic and photonic devices onto a single chip using advanced wafer-level semiconductor manufacturing techniques. The semiconductor industry has adopted the term “Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Packaging” to describe similar approaches within the semiconductor industry. POET’s Optical Interposer eliminates costly components and labor-intensive assembly, alignment, and testing methods employed in conventional photonics. We believe the cost-efficient integration scheme and scalability of the POET Optical Interposer brings value to devices or systems that integrate electronics and photonics, including high-growth areas of communications and computing. The emergence of artificial intelligence systems has placed extraordinary demands on cloud-based artificial intelligence service providers and hyperscale data centers for increases in network speeds and bandwidth. We believe that chip-scale integration is essential to developing hardware that can meet such demands and that the Company is on the forefront of providing scalable solutions for current and future artificial intelligence systems.

Risk Factors

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Please see the “Risk Factors” section in any prospectus supplement and in our most recent Annual Report and Third Quarter MD&A, along with any disclosure related to the risk factors contained in our subsequent reports, in each case which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as all other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. If any of the events described in such “Risk Factors” section occurs or the risks described therein actually materialize, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or prospects could be materially adversely affected. Risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations, our financial results and the value of our securities. The prospectus supplement applicable to each type or series of securities we offer may contain a discussion of additional risks applicable to an investment in us and the particular type of securities we are offering under that prospectus supplement.

Offer Statistics and Expected Timetable

We may sell from time to time pursuant to this prospectus (as may be described in more detail in one or more prospectus supplements) an indeterminate number of securities. The actual per share price of the securities that we will offer pursuant hereto, if any, will depend on a number of factors that may be relevant as of the time of offer. See “Plan of Distribution” below.

Material Changes

Except as otherwise disclosed in this prospectus, there have been no material changes to our operations that have occurred since December 31, 2024, and that have not been described in a report on Form 20-F or Form 6-K, including the documents filed as exhibits thereto, filed or furnished under the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Reasons for the Offer and Use of Proceeds

Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of securities, the net proceeds to be received by us from the issue and sale from time to time of the securities, if any, will be used for general working capital purposes related to research and development of its optical engines for transceivers and light source modules for the AI market, capital asset purchases and selling and general and administrative expenses. The Company currently has a negative operating cash flow, which may continue for the foreseeable future. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company had negative cash flow from operating activities. The Company anticipates it will continue to have negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods until sustained profitable commercial production is achieved on its main products and projects. As a result, if necessary, certain of the net proceeds may be used to fund such negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods.

Additional information on the use of net proceeds we receive from the sale of securities covered by this prospectus may be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to a specific offering.

While the Company intends to spend the net proceeds of the offering of securities pursuant to this prospectus as stated above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a re-allocation of funds may be necessary or advisable. The actual amount that the Company spends in connection with each of the intended uses of proceeds will depend on a number of factors, including those listed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein.

Memorandum and Articles of Association

The Company was originally formed under the British Columbia Company Act on February 9, 1972 as Tandem Resources Ltd. (“Tandem”). The Company took its current form after Tandem amalgamated with Stanmar Resources Ltd. and Keezic Resources Ltd. pursuant to Articles of Amalgamation on November 14, 1985. Tandem moved to Ontario by Articles of Continuance on January 3, 1997. Tandem changed its name to OPEL International Inc. by Articles of Amendment on September 26, 2006. OPEL International Inc. was continued under the New Brunswick Business Corporations Act on January 30, 2007, then back to Ontario by Articles of Continuance on November 30, 2010, changing its name to OPEL Solar International Inc. By Articles of Amendment on August 25, 2011, OPEL Solar International Inc. changed its name to OPEL Technologies, Inc. By Articles of Amendment on July 23, 2013, OPEL Technologies Inc. changed its name to POET Technologies Inc. Today, the Company is an Ontario corporation governed by the OBCA. The following are summaries of material provisions of our Articles of Continuance, as amended from time to time, insofar as they relate to the material terms of our common shares. This is only a summary and is not intended to be exhaustive. For further information, please refer to the full version of our constating documents attached as exhibits to our Annual Report.

Register, Entry Number and Purposes

Our Articles of Continuance became effective on November 30, 2010. Our corporation number in Ontario is 641402. The Articles of Continuance do not contain a statement of the Company’s objects and purposes. However, the Articles of Continuance provide that there are no restrictions on business that the Company may carry on or the powers the Company may exercise as permitted under the OBCA.

Board of Directors

Pursuant to our By-laws and the OBCA, a director or officer who is a party to, or who is a director or officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to, a material contract or proposed material contract with the Company, shall disclose the nature and extent of his interest at the time and in the manner provided by the OBCA. Any such contract or proposed contract shall be referred to the Board or shareholders for approval even if such contract is one that in the ordinary course of the Company’s business would not require approval by the Board or shareholders, and a director interested in a contract so referred to the Board shall not vote on any resolution to approve the same unless the contract or transaction: (i) relates primarily to his or her remuneration as a director of the Company or an affiliate; (ii) is for indemnity or insurance of or for the director or officer as permitted by the OBCA; or (iii) is with an affiliate.

Directors shall be paid such remuneration for their services as the Board may determine by resolution from time to time, and will be entitled to reimbursement for traveling and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending meetings of the Board or any committee thereof. Neither the Company’s Articles nor By-laws require an independent quorum for voting on director compensation. Directors are not precluded from serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving remuneration therefor. A director is not required to hold shares of the Company. There is no age limit requirement respecting the retirement or non-retirement of directors.

The directors may sign the name and on behalf of the Company, or appoint any officer or officers or any other person or persons on behalf of the Company either to sign on behalf of the Company, all instruments in writing and any instruments in writing so signed shall be binding upon the Company without further authorization or formality. The term “instruments in writing” includes contracts, documents, powers of attorney, deeds, mortgages, hypothecs, charges, conveyances, transfers and assignments of property (real or personal, immovable or movable), agreements, tenders, releases, receipts and discharges for the payment of money or other obligations, conveyances, transfers and assignments of shares, stocks, bonds, debentures or other securities, instruments of proxy and all paper writing.

Nothing in the Company’s By-laws limits or restricts the borrowing of money by the Company on bills of exchange or promissory notes made, drawn, accepted or endorsed by or on behalf of the Company.

Each director serves until the next Company’s annual general meeting or until a successor is duly elected, unless the office is vacated in accordance with the Articles of Continuance.

Rights, Preferences and Restrictions Attaching to Each Class of Shares

The holders of common shares are entitled to vote at all meetings of the shareholders, except meetings at which only holders of a specified class of shares are entitled to vote. Each common share carries with it the right to one vote. Subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other class or series of shares of the Company, the holders of the common shares are entitled to receive any dividends declared and payable by the Company on the common shares. Dividends may be paid in money or property or by issuing fully paid shares of the Company. Subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other class or series of shares of the Company, the holders of the common shares are entitled to receive the remaining property of the Company upon dissolution.

No shares have been issued subject to call or assessment. There are no pre-emptive or conversion rights and no provisions for redemption or purchase for cancellation, surrender, or sinking or purchase funds. The common shares must be issued as fully-paid and non-assessable, and are not subject to further capital calls by the Company. The common shares are without par value. All of the common shares rank equally as to voting rights, participation in a distribution of the assets of the Company on a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company and the entitlement to dividends.

The Company does not currently have any preferred shares outstanding.

Ordinary and Special Shareholders’ Meetings

The OBCA provides that the directors of a corporation shall call an annual meeting of shareholders not later than 15 months after holding the last preceding annual meeting. The OBCA also provides that, in the case of an offering corporation, the directors shall place before each annual meeting of shareholders, the financial statements required to be filed under the Ontario Securities Act and the regulation thereunder relating to the period that began immediately after the end of the last completed financial year and ended not more than six months before the annual meeting and the immediately preceding financial year, if any.

The Board has the power to call a special meeting of shareholders at any time.

Notice of the date, time and location of each meeting of shareholders must be given not less than 21 days nor more than 50 days before the date of each meeting to each director, to the auditor of the Company and to each shareholder who at the close of business on the record date for notice is entered in the securities register as the holder of one or more shares carrying the right to vote at the meeting.

Notice of a meeting of shareholders called for any other purpose other than consideration of the minutes of an earlier meeting, financial statements, reports of the directors or auditor, setting or changing the number of directors, the election of directors and reappointment of the incumbent auditor, must state the general nature of the special business in sufficient detail to permit the shareholder to form a reasoned judgment on such business, must state the text of any special resolution to be submitted to the meeting, and must, if the special business includes considering, approving, ratifying, adopting or authorizing any document or the signing of or giving of effect to any document, have attached to it, a copy of the document or state that a copy of the document will be available for inspection by shareholders at the Company’s records office or another accessible location.

The only persons entitled to be present at a meeting of shareholders are those entitled to vote, the directors of the Company and the auditor of the Company. Any other person may be admitted only on the invitation of the chairman of the meeting or with the consent of the meeting. In circumstances where a court orders a meeting of shareholders, the court may direct how the meeting may be held, including who may attend the meeting.

Limitations on Rights to Own Securities

No share may be issued until it is fully paid.

Neither Canadian law nor our Articles or By-laws limit the right of a non-resident to hold or vote common shares of the Company, other than as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the “Investment Act”), as amended by the World Trade Organization Agreement Implementation Act (the “WTOA Act”). The Investment Act generally prohibits implementation of a direct reviewable investment by an individual, government or agency thereof, corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is not a “Canadian,” as defined in the Investment Act (a “non-Canadian”), unless, after review, the minister responsible for the Investment Act is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. An investment in the common shares of the Company by a non-Canadian (other than a “WTO Investor,” as defined below) would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it were an investment to acquire direct control of the Company, and the value of the assets of the Company were CA$5.0 million or more (provided that immediately prior to the implementation of the investment the Company was not controlled by WTO Investors). An investment in common shares of the Company by a WTO Investor (or by a non- Canadian other than a WTO Investor if, immediately prior to the implementation of the investment the Company was controlled by WTO Investors) would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it were an investment to acquire direct control of the Company and the value of the assets of the Company equaled or exceeded certain threshold amounts determined on an annual basis.

The threshold for a pre-closing net benefit review depends on whether the purchaser is: (a) controlled by a person or entity from a member of the WTO; (b) a state- owned enterprise (SOE); or (c) from a country considered a “Trade Agreement Investor” under the Investment Act. A different threshold also applies if the Canadian business carries on a cultural business. The 2025 threshold for WTO Investors that are SOEs will be CA$551 million based on the book value of the Canadian business’ assets, up from CA$528 million in 2024. The 2025 thresholds for review for direct acquisitions of control of Canadian businesses by private sector investor WTO Investors is $1.386 billion and private sector trade- agreement investors is $2.079 billion and are both based on the “enterprise value” of the Canadian business being acquired.

A non-Canadian, whether a WTO Investor or otherwise, would be deemed to acquire control of the Company for purposes of the Investment Act if he or she acquired a majority of the common shares of the Company. The acquisition of less than a majority, but at least one-third of the shares, would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of the Company, unless it could be established that the Company is not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of the shares. In general, an individual is a WTO Investor if he or she is a “national” of a country (other than Canada) that is a member of the WTO (“WTO Member”) or has a right of permanent residence in a WTO Member. A corporation or other entity will be a “WTO Investor” if it is a “WTO Investor-controlled entity,” pursuant to detailed rules set out in the Investment Act. The U.S. is a WTO Member. Certain transactions involving our common shares would be exempt from the Investment Act, including:

	●	an acquisition of the shares if the acquisition were made in the ordinary course of that person’s business as a trader or dealer in securities;

	●	an acquisition of control of the Company in connection with the realization of a security interest granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for any purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Act; and

	●	an acquisition of control of the Company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization, following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of the Company, through the ownership of voting interests, remains unchanged.

Procedures to Change the Rights of Shareholders

In order to change the rights of our shareholders with respect to certain fundamental changes as described in Section 168 of the OBCA, the Company would need to amend our Articles to effect the change. Such an amendment would require the approval of holders of two-thirds of the votes of the Company’s common shares, and any other shares carrying the right to vote at any general meeting of the shareholders of the Company, cast at a duly called special meeting. The OBCA also provides that a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property of a corporation other than in the ordinary course of business of the corporation likewise requires the approval of the shareholders at a duly called special meeting. For such fundamental changes and sale, lease and exchange, a shareholder is entitled under the OBCA to dissent in respect of such a resolution amending the Articles and, if the resolution is adopted and the Company implements such changes, demand payment of the fair value of the shareholder’s common shares.

Impediments to a Change of Control

The take-over bid regime in Canada is governed by, among other things, National Instrument 62-104 – Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids (“NI 62-104”). Under NI 62-104, a “take-over bid” is defined as an offer to acquire the outstanding voting securities or equity securities of a class made to one or more persons or companies in a jurisdiction of Canada (also referred to as a local jurisdiction) or whose last address on the books of the target company is in the local jurisdiction, where the securities subject to the offer, together with the offeror’s securities, constitute 20% or more of the outstanding securities of the class.

Pursuant to NI 62-104, all non-exempt take-over bids are required to abide by certain technical requirements, including:

	●	Initial Deposit Period – The offer must remain open for an initial deposit period of at least 105 days from the date of the bid. A shorter initial deposit period (not less than 35 days from the date of the bid) is available in circumstances where a target company issues a deposit period news release in respect of a proposed or commenced take-over bid. In this circumstance, an outstanding or subsequent competing take-over bid may avail itself of the shorter deposit period specified in the bid referred to in the deposit period news release. A shorter initial deposit period (of at least 35 days from the date of the bid) is also available in the case of an outstanding or subsequent competing bid in circumstances where a target company issues a news release announcing its intention to effect a negotiated alternative transaction.

	●	Minimum Tender Requirement – An offeror may not take up securities under the terms of its take-over bid unless the bid has met a minimum tender requirement consisting of more than 50% of the outstanding securities of the class that are subject to the bid (excluding securities beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised by the offeror or by any person acting jointly or in concert with the offeror) having been deposited under the bid and not withdrawn.

	●	Mandatory 10-day extension period – If, at the end of the initial deposit period, an offeror is obligated to take up securities deposited under the terms of a take-over bid, the offeror must extend the period during which securities may be deposited under the period of the bid for a mandatory 10-day extension period and promptly issue a news release announcing that, among other things, the minimum tender requirement has been satisfied, the number of securities deposited and not withdrawn as at the expiry of the initial deposit period and the period during which securities may be deposited under the bid has been extended for the mandatory ten-day extension period.

	●	Equal Treatment – The take-over bid rules require that all holders of the same class of securities be offered identical consideration (or an identical choice of consideration). If a bidder increases the consideration to be paid for the securities during a take-over bid, this consideration must be increased for all shareholders, even if the bidder has already taken up and paid for some shares. The bidder (and anyone acting jointly or in concert with the bidder) is prohibited from entering into any collateral agreements or understanding that will (directly or indirectly) provide a shareholder of the target company with consideration of greater value than that paid or payable to other shareholders of the same class, subject to certain exemptions.

In addition to NI 62-104, there are also further regulations and guidance (including certain disclosure requirements) provided pursuant to National Instrument 62-103 – The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues (“NI 62-103”), National Policy 62-202 – Take-Over Bids – Defensive Tactics, National Policy 62-203 – Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids, and applicable exchange rules.

Shareholder Ownership Disclosure Threshold in Bylaws

Neither our Articles nor By-laws contain a provision governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. Pursuant to securities legislation, an Early Warning Report and an Insider Report must be filed if a shareholder obtains ownership on a partially diluted basis of 10% or greater of the Company.

Special Conditions for Changes in Capital

The conditions imposed by the Company’s Articles are not more stringent than required under the OBCA.

Comparison of Ontario and Delaware Corporate Law

The Company is a corporation governed by the OBCA. The OBCA differs in some material respects from the laws generally applicable to Delaware corporations under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Below is a summary of certain of those material differences. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL, the OBCA and the Company’s Articles and bylaws.

Delaware

OBCA

Stockholder/ Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations; Fundamental Changes

Under the DGCL, certain fundamental changes, such as amendments to the certificate of incorporation, a merger, consolidation, sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property of a corporation not in the usual and regular course of the corporation’s business, or a dissolution of the corporation, are generally required to be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or the bylaws require a higher percentage.

However, Section 251(h) of the DGCL provides that stockholders of a constituent corporation need not vote to approve a merger if: (i) the merger agreement permits or requires the merger to be effected under Section 251(h) and provides that the merger shall be effected as soon as practicable following the tender offer or exchange offer, (ii) a corporation consummates a tender or exchange offer for any and all of the outstanding stock of such constituent corporation that would otherwise be entitled to vote to approve the merger, (iii) immediately following the consummation of the offer, the stock accepted for purchase or exchange plus the stock owned by the consummating corporation equals at least the percentage of stock that would be required to adopt the agreement of merger under the DGCL, (iv) the corporation consummating the offer merges with or into such constituent corporation and (v) each outstanding share of each class or series of stock of the constituent corporation that was the subject of and not irrevocably accepted for purchase or exchange in the offer is to be converted in the merger into, or the right to receive, the same consideration to be paid for the shares of such class or series of stock of the constituent corporation irrevocably purchased or exchanged in such offer.

Under the OBCA, certain corporate alterations, such as changes to authorized share structure, continuances, into or out of province, certain amalgamations, sales, leases or other dispositions of all or substantially all of the property of a corporation (other than in the ordinary course of business) liquidations, dissolutions and certain arrangements are required to be approved by ordinary or special resolution as applicable.

An ordinary resolution means a resolution that is (i) submitted to a meeting of the shareholders of a corporation and passed, with or without amendment, by at least a majority of the votes cast, or (ii) consented to in writing by each shareholder of the corporation (or their authorized attorney) entitled to vote at such a meeting.

A special resolution means a resolution that is (i) submitted to a special meeting of the shareholders and passed, with or without amendment, by at least two-thirds of the votes cast, or (ii) consented to in writing by each shareholder of the corporation (or their authorized attorney) entitled to vote at such a meeting.

Under the OBCA, unless otherwise provided for in the articles, an action that adds to, removes or changes the rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions attached to issued shares of a class or series must be approved by a special separate resolution of the holders of the class or series of shares being affected.

	Delaware	OBCA
	The DGCL does not contain a procedure comparable to a plan of arrangement under the OBCA.	Arrangements are permitted under the OBCA. In general, a plan of arrangement is approved by a corporation’s board of directors and then is submitted to a court for approval. It is customary for a corporation in such circumstances to apply to a court initially for an interim order governing various procedural matters prior to calling any security holder meeting to consider the proposed arrangement. Subject to any order of the court, a plan of arrangement must be approved, in each case by special resolution, by (i) the shareholders of a corporation, and (ii) holders of shares of each class or series entitled to vote. The court may determine, among other things, to whom notice shall be given and whether any shareholders may dissent from the proposed arrangement and receive payment of the fair value of their shares. Following compliance with the procedural steps contemplated in any such interim order (including as to obtaining security holder approval), the court would conduct a final hearing, which would, among other things, assess the fairness of the arrangement and approve or reject the proposed arrangement. The OBCA does not contain a provision comparable to Section 251(h) of the DGCL.

Special Vote Required for Combinations with Interested Stockholders/ Shareholders	Unless a Delaware corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides that it elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL, a Delaware corporation may not engage in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the time of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless (i) the board of directors of the corporation, prior to the time of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, approves either the business combination or the transaction in which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder; (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding shares owned by directors and officers of the corporation and shares held in certain types of employee stock plans); or (iii) the board of directors and the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder approve the business combination on or after the time of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder. For purposes of Section 203, the DGCL, subject to specified exceptions, generally defines an interested stockholder to include any person who, together with that person’s affiliates or associates, (i) owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (including any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant, agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion or exchange rights, and stock with respect to which the person has voting rights only), or (ii) is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and owned 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the previous three years.	The OBCA does not contain a provision comparable to Section 203 of the DGCL with respect to business combinations.

	Delaware	OBCA
Appraisal Rights; Rights to Dissent	Under the DGCL, a stockholder of a corporation participating in some types of major corporate transactions may, under varying circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which the stockholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair market value of such stockholder’s shares in lieu of the consideration such stockholder would otherwise receive in the transaction. For example, a stockholder is entitled to appraisal rights in the case of a merger or consolidation if the shareholder is required to accept in exchange for the shares anything other than: (i) shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from the merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof; (ii) shares of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, that on the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 shareholders; (iii) cash instead of fractional shares of the corporation or fractional depository receipts of the corporation; or (iv) any combination of the foregoing.	The OBCA provides that shareholders of a corporation are entitled to exercise dissent rights in respect of certain matters and to be paid the fair value of their shares in connection therewith. Dissent rights are applicable when a corporation resolves to (i) amend its articles to change the restrictions on the issuance, transfer or ownership of the corporation’s shares; (ii) amend its articles to alter the restrictions on the powers of the corporation or on the business it is permitted to carry on; (iii) amalgamate with another corporation; (iv) continue the corporation into another jurisdiction; (v) continue the corporation under the Co-Operative Corporations Act or the Not-For-Profit Corporations Act, 2010; or (vi) sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all its property. A court may also make an order permitting a shareholder to dissent in certain circumstances.

Compulsory Acquisition	Under the DGCL, a merger in which one corporation owns, prior to the merger, 90% or more of each class of stock of a second corporation may be completed without the vote of the second corporation’s board of directors or shareholders.	The OBCA provides that if, within 120 days after the making of a bid to acquire shares, the offer is accepted by the holders of not less than 90% of the shares (other than the shares held by the offeror or an affiliate or associate of the offeror) of any class of shares to which the bid relates, the offeror is entitled, upon complying with the section, to acquire the shares held by dissenting offerees. An offeror may acquire the shares held by a dissenting offeree by sending, on or before the earlier of the sixtieth (60th) day following the termination of the bid and the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day following the date of the bid, an offeror’s notice to each dissenting offeree. Dissenting offerees who have demanded payment for the fair value of his or her security may, within 30 days of receiving the offeror’s notice, apply to the court for additional security of payment for the fair value of their shares.

	Delaware	OBCA
Stockholder/ Shareholder Consent to Action Without Meeting	Under the DGCL, unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, any action that can be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if written consent to the action is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting of the stockholders.	Under the OBCA and the Company’s bylaws, and subject to certain exceptions, shareholders may take action without a meeting by executing a written resolution signed by all of the shareholders (or their authorized attorney) entitled to vote on that resolution. A resolution in writing is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of the shareholders.

Special Meetings of Stockholders/ Shareholders	Under the DGCL, a special meeting of shareholders may be called by the board of directors or by such persons authorized in the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws.	Under the OBCA, the directors of the corporation may, at any time, call a special meeting of shareholders. In addition, the holders of not less than five percent of the issued shares of a corporation that carry the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held may requisition the directors to call a meeting of shareholders for the purposes stated in the requisition. All shareholders entitled to vote as of the record date are entitled to notice of the meeting. Subject to certain conditions, if the directors do not call a meeting within twenty-one days after receiving the shareholder’s requisition, any shareholder who signed the requisition may call the meeting.

Distributions and Dividends; Repurchases and Redemptions	Under the DGCL, subject to any restrictions contained in the certificate of incorporation, a corporation may pay dividends out of its capital surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared or the preceding fiscal year, as long as the amount of capital of the corporation following the declaration and payment of the dividend is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by issued and outstanding shares having a preference upon the distribution of assets. Surplus is defined in the DGCL as the excess of the net assets over capital, as such capital may be adjusted by the board. A Delaware corporation may purchase or redeem shares of any class for cash or other property except when its capital is impaired or would be impaired by the purchase or redemption. A corporation may, however, purchase or redeem out of capital shares that are entitled, upon any distribution of its assets, to a preference over another class or series of its shares or, if no shares entitled to a preference are outstanding, any of its shares if such shares will be retired and the capital reduced.	Under the OBCA, and subject to a corporation’s articles or any unanimous shareholder agreement, a corporation may pay a dividend in money or other property (including by issuing shares or warrants by way of dividend) unless there are reasonable grounds for believing that the corporation is insolvent, or the payment of the dividend would render the corporation insolvent. The OBCA provides that no rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions attached to a series of shares shall confer on the series a priority in respect of dividends or return of capital over any other series of shares of the same class. Under the OBCA, a corporation may purchase or otherwise acquire any of its issued shares or warrants. However, the acquisition is generally subject to solvency tests similar to those applicable to the payment of dividends (as set out above). A corporation may also redeem, on the terms and in the manner provided in its articles, any of its shares that has a right of redemption attached to it, subject to similar solvency tests (as set out above).

	Delaware	OBCA
Vacancies on Board of Directors	Under the DGCL, a vacancy or a newly created directorship may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws. Any newly elected director usually holds office for the remainder of the full term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of the class of directors to which the newly elected director has been elected expires.	Under the Company’s bylaws, a director ceases to hold office if he or she dies, is removed from office by the shareholders, ceases to be qualified for election as a director or, subject to the OBCA, resigns by a written resignation received by the Company. Also under the Company’s bylaws, but subject to the OBCA, a quorum of directors may fill a vacancy on the board of directors. A director appointed or elected to fill a vacancy holds office for the unexpired term of his predecessor. Under the OBCA, if there is not a quorum of directors, or if there has been a failure to elect the number of directors required by the articles or the OBCA, the directors in office shall call a special meeting of shareholders to fill the vacancy. If the directors fail to call a meeting, a shareholder may call the meeting. In accordance with the OBCA and the Company’s bylaws, the board of directors may appoint an additional director provided that the total number of directors, after that appointment, would not be greater than one and one-third times the number of directors required to have been elected at the last annual meeting of shareholders.

Removal of Directors; Terms of Directors	Under the DGCL, except in the case of a corporation with a classified board or with cumulative voting, any director or the entire board may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors. If a Delaware corporation has a classified board, unless its certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, any director or the entire board may only be removed by stockholders for cause.	Under the OBCA, and the Company’s bylaws, the shareholders of the corporation may by ordinary resolution remove any director(s) from office. If the holders of any class or series have an exclusive right to elect one or more directors, a director may only be removed by an ordinary resolution of that class or series. A director’s vacancy may be filled at the meeting at which a director was removed. According to the Company’s bylaws, the board of directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of shareholders, and each director will hold office until the close of the first annual meeting following his or her election, subject to certain exceptions. All directors are eligible for re-election or re-appointment.

Inspection of Books and Records	Under the DGCL, any holder of record of stock or a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person has the right during usual business hours to inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose.	Under the OBCA, directors, registered holders of shares, beneficial owners of shares and creditors of the corporation (including their agents and legal representatives) may examine and take extracts of certain corporation records free of charge. Public companies will allow any other person to examine certain records of the corporation upon payment of a reasonable fee.

	Delaware	OBCA
Amendment of Governing Documents	Under the DGCL, a certificate of incorporation may be amended if: (i) the board of directors adopts a resolution setting forth the proposed amendment, declares the advisability of the amendment and directs that it be submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders; provided that, unless required by the certificate of incorporation, no meeting or vote is required to adopt an amendment for certain specified changes; and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter approve the amendment, unless the certificate of incorporation requires the vote of a greater or, if permitted by the DGCL, a lesser number of shares. If a class vote on the amendment is required by the DGCL, a majority of the outstanding stock of the class is required, unless a greater proportion is specified in the certificate of incorporation or by other provisions of the DGCL. Under the DGCL, the board of directors may amend a corporation’s bylaws if so authorized in the certificate of incorporation. The shareholders of a Delaware corporation also have the power to amend bylaws.	Under the OBCA, amendments to the articles of incorporation generally require the approval of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution. The directors may, by resolution, make, amend or repeal any bylaws that regulate the business or affairs of a corporation. The directors must submit the bylaw, amendment or repeal to the shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders, and the shareholders may confirm, reject or amend the bylaw, amendment or repeal.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers	Under the DGCL, subject to specified limitations in the case of derivative suits brought by a corporation’s stockholders in its name, a corporation may indemnify any person who is made a party to any action, suit or proceeding on account of being a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or was serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, provided that there is a determination that: (i) the individual acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (ii) in a criminal action or proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Without court approval, however, no indemnification may be made in respect of any derivative action in which an individual is adjudged liable to the corporation, except to the extent the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. The DGCL requires indemnification of directors and officers for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably relating to a successful defense on the merits or otherwise of a derivative or third-party action. Under the DGCL, a corporation may advance expenses to any director or officer relating to the defense of any proceeding upon the receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified.	Pursuant to the Company’s bylaws, the Company will indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the Company’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, to the fullest extent permitted by the OBCA. Under the OBCA, a corporation may indemnify a present or former director or officer or another individual who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer, or in a similar capacity, of another entity (the “indemnified individual”), against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment reasonably incurred by the indemnified individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the indemnified individual is involved because of that association with the Company or such other entity, and provided that the indemnified individual (i) acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company, and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, such indemnified individual had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. The Company may indemnify, with court approval, an indemnified individual in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Company or such other entity to obtain a judgment in its favor, to which the indemnified individual is made a party because of their association with the Company or such other entity. An indemnified individual is entitled to indemnification from the Company as a matter of right if such indemnified individual was not judged by a court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the indemnified individual ought to have done and fulfilled the conditions set forth above.

	Delaware	OBCA
Limited Liability of Directors and Officers	The DGCL permits the adoption of a provision in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its shareholders by reason of a director’s breach of such director’s fiduciary duties, except for (i) any breach of the duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii) any act or omission not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a known violation of law; (iii) any breach in which a director obtains an improper personal benefit from the corporation; or (iv) the unlawful payment of a dividend or the unlawful approval of a stock repurchase. The DGCL also permits the adoption of a provision in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of an officer to a corporation’s shareholders by reason of an officer’s breach of such officer’s duty of care to the corporation, except for (i) any such monetary liabilities that result from any actions brought by or in the right of a corporation; (ii) any act or omission not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a known violation of law; or (iii) any breach in which an officer obtains an improper personal benefit from the corporation.	Under the OBCA, every director and officer of a corporation in exercising his or her powers and discharging his or her duties to the corporation shall (i) act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation, and (ii) exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Subject to the OBCA’s unanimous shareholder agreement provisions, no provision in a contract, the articles of amalgamation, the bylaws or a resolution relieves a director or officer from the duty to act in accordance with the OBCA and the regulations thereunder or relieves him or her from liability for a breach thereof.

Stockholder/ Shareholder Lawsuits	Under the DGCL, a stockholder may bring a derivative action on behalf of the corporation to enforce the rights of the corporation; provided, however, that under Delaware case law, the plaintiff generally must be a stockholder not only at the time of the transaction that is the subject of the suit, but also throughout the duration of the derivative suit. Delaware law also requires that the derivative plaintiff make a demand on the directors of the corporation to assert the derivative claim before the suit may be prosecuted by the derivative plaintiff, unless such demand would be futile. An individual also may commence a class action suit on behalf of himself or herself and other similarly situated stockholders where the requirements for maintaining a class action have been met.	Under the OBCA, (i) a current or former shareholder (including a beneficial shareholder); (ii) a current or former director of a corporation; or (iii) any person who, in the discretion of the court, is an appropriate person (a “complainant”) may bring an application to prosecute, defend, or discontinue an action on behalf of a corporation (a derivative action). A complainant may apply to the court for leave to bring an action in the name and on behalf of a corporation or any of its subsidiaries or intervene in an action in which any such body corporate is a party, for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or discontinuing the action on behalf of a body corporate if the complainant has given fourteen days’ notice to the directors of the corporation, and the court is satisfied that (i) the directors of the corporation will not bring, prosecute, defend or discontinue the action; (ii) the complainant is acting in good faith; and (iii) it appears to be in the best interest of the corporation for the action to be prosecuted or defended. Under the OBCA, upon the final disposition of a derivative action, the court may make any order it determines to be appropriate, including an order requiring the corporation to pay reasonable legal fees and any other costs reasonably incurred by the complainant in connection with the action.

	Delaware	OBCA
Oppression Remedy	Although the DGCL imposes upon directors and officers fiduciary duties of loyalty (i.e., a duty to act in a manner believed to be in the best interest of the corporation and its stockholders) and care, the DGCL does not provide for a remedy for a breach of fiduciary duties that is comparable to the OBCA’s oppression remedy.	The OBCA’s oppression remedy enables a court to make an order (interim or final) to rectify conduct that is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to or that unfairly disregards the interests of any security holder, creditor, director or officer of the corporation. To determine whether the oppression remedy is appropriate, the court will consider the corporation’s actions and/or omissions (including decisions made by the directors), and the business and affairs of the corporation. Under the OBCA, a complainant (as defined above) may bring an oppression application. The oppression remedy provides the court with extremely broad and flexible jurisdiction to intervene in corporate affairs to protect shareholders.

Blank Check Preferred Stock/Shares	Under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation of a corporation may give the board the right to issue new classes of preferred shares with voting, conversion, dividend distribution, and other rights to be determined by the board at the time of issuance, which could prevent a takeover attempt and thereby preclude shareholders from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their shares. In addition, the DGCL does not prohibit a corporation from adopting a shareholder rights plan, or “poison pill,” which could prevent a takeover attempt and preclude shareholders from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their shares.	According to the Company’s bylaws, shares of the Company may be issued at such times and to such persons and for such consideration as the directors determine. Under the OBCA, the articles of a corporation may authorize the issuance of any class of shares in one or more series and may determine the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the shares of each series. Under the OBCA, each share of a series of shares must have the same special rights or restrictions as are attached to every other share of that series of shares. In addition, the special rights or restrictions attached to shares of a series of shares must be consistent with the special rights or restrictions attached to the class of shares of which the series of shares is part. In addition, the OBCA does not prohibit a corporation from adopting a shareholder rights plan, or “poison pill,” which could prevent a takeover attempt and preclude shareholders from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their shares.

OBCA

Advance Notification Requirements for Proposals of Stockholders/Shareholders

Delaware corporations typically have provisions in their bylaws, often referred to as “advance notice bylaws,” that require a stockholder proposing a nominee for election to the board of directors or other proposals at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders to provide notice of any such proposals to the corporation in advance of the meeting for any such proposal to be brought before the meeting of the stockholders. In addition, advance notice bylaws frequently require the stockholder nominating a person for election to the board of directors to provide information about the nominee, such as his or her age, address, employment and beneficial ownership of shares of the corporation’s capital stock. The stockholder may also be required to disclose information about the stockholder, including, among other things, his or her name, share ownership and agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to such nomination.

For other proposals, the proposing stockholder is often required by the bylaws to provide a description of the proposal and any other information relating to such stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf that proposal is being made, required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the proposal and pursuant to and in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Under the Company’s bylaws, a shareholder may nominate a director pursuant to a proposal or requisition made in accordance with the provisions of the OBCA.

In addition, any person who at (i) the close of business on the date of giving notice; and (ii) on the record date for notice of such meeting, is a registered security holder of one or more shares carrying the right to vote, or who beneficially owns shares that are entitled to be voted (“Nominating Shareholder”), may elect a director, subject to fulfilling certain notice procedures. A Nominating Shareholder is required to give timely notice in the proper written form, as outlined in the bylaws.

To be in proper form, the notice of the Nominating Shareholder must set forth, amongst other things, (i) each proposed director nominee, and any other information relating to the nominee that would be required to be disclosed in a dissident’s proxy circular under the OBCA and applicable security laws, and (ii) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which such Nominating Shareholder has a right to vote any shares of the Company and any other information relating to such Nominating Shareholder that would be required to be made in a dissident’s proxy circular under the OBCA and applicable security laws.

In certain circumstances, the corporation may refuse to process a proposal.

The particular terms and provisions of the debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply thereto, will be described in a prospectus supplement filed in respect of such debt securities.

Debt securities may be offered separately or in combination with one or more other securities. The Company may, from time to time, issue debt securities and incur additional indebtedness other than through the issue of debt securities pursuant to this prospectus.

Debt securities will be issued under one or more indentures (each, a “debt indenture”), in each case between the Company and an appropriately qualified entity authorized to carry on business as a trustee. The description below is not exhaustive and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the detailed provisions of the applicable debt indenture.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities and is not intended to be complete. We have filed a form of indenture as Exhibit 4.4 to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. When debt securities are offered in the future, the prospectus supplement will explain the particular terms of those securities and the extent to which these general provisions may apply. Capitalized terms used in the summary have the meanings specified in the indenture.

General

The debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series and may be convertible into other securities. The Company may specify a maximum aggregate principal amount for the debt securities of any series and, unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, a series of debt securities may be reopened for issuance of additional debt securities of such series.

	●	if applicable, the provisions for subordination of such debt securities to other indebtedness of the Company;

	●	any redemption term or terms under which such debt securities may be defeased whether at or prior to maturity;

	●	any repayment or sinking fund provisions;

	●	any other specific terms or covenants applicable to such debt securities.

The Company may include in a prospectus supplement specific terms pertaining to the debt securities that are in addition to, or in lieu of, the terms debt securities as described in this prospectus. To the extent that any particular terms of the debt securities described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms of the debt securities described in this prospectus, the description of such terms set forth in this prospectus shall be deemed to have been superseded by the description of such differing terms set forth in such prospectus supplement with respect to such debt securities.

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be direct unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank pari passu (except as to sinking funds) with all other unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness of the Company, including other debt securities issued under the debt indenture.

If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than our existing securityholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Description of Warrants

This section describes the general terms that will apply to any warrants for the purchase of common shares (the “equity warrants”) or for the purchase of debt securities (the “debt warrants”).

Warrants may be offered separately or together with other securities, as the case may be. Each series of warrants may be issued under a separate warrant indenture or warrant agency agreement to be entered into between the Company and one or more banks or trust companies acting as warrant agent or may be issued as stand-alone contracts. The applicable prospectus supplement will include details of the warrant agreements governing the warrants being offered. The warrant agent is expected to act solely as the agent of the Company and will not assume a relationship of agency with any holders of warrant certificates or beneficial owners of warrants. The following sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the warrants that may be offered hereunder. The specific terms of the warrants, and the extent to which the general terms described in this section apply to those warrants, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, if any.

Description of Subscription Receipts

The Company may issue subscription receipts, independently or together with other securities. Subscription receipts will be issued under one or more subscription receipt agreements.

A subscription receipt is a security of the Company that will entitle the holder to receive one or more common shares or a combination of common shares and warrants, upon the completion of a transaction, typically an acquisition by the Company of the assets or securities of another entity. After the offering of subscription receipts, the subscription proceeds for the subscription receipts are held in escrow by the designated escrow agent, pending the completion of the transaction. Holders of subscription receipts will not have any rights of shareholders of the Company. Holders of subscription receipts are only entitled to receive common shares or warrants or a combination thereof upon the surrender of their subscription receipts to the escrow agent or to a return of the subscription price for the subscription receipts together with any payments in lieu of interest or other income earned on the subscription proceeds.

Selected provisions of the subscription receipts and the subscription receipt agreements are summarized below. This summary is not complete. The statements made in this prospectus relating to any subscription receipt agreement and subscription receipts to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable subscription receipt agreement.

A prospectus supplement will set forth the following terms relating to the subscription receipts being offered:

	●	the designation of the subscription receipts;

	●	the aggregate number of subscription receipts offered and the offering price;

	●	the terms, conditions and procedures for which the holders of subscription receipts will become entitled to receive common shares or warrants or a combination thereof;

	●	the number of common shares or warrants or a combination thereof that may be obtained upon the conversion of each subscription receipt and the period or periods during which any conversion must occur;

	●	the designation and terms of any other securities with which the subscription receipts will be offered, if any, and the number of subscription receipts that will be offered with each security;

	●	the gross proceeds from the sale of such subscription receipts, including (if applicable) the terms applicable to the gross proceeds from the sale of such subscription receipts, plus any interest earned thereon;

	●	the material income tax consequences of owning, holding and disposing of such subscription receipts;

	●	whether such subscription receipts will be listed on any securities exchange;

	●	any terms, procedures and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange or conversion of the subscription receipts; and

	●	any other material terms and conditions of the subscription receipts.

Description of Rights

We may issue rights to purchase our securities. The rights may or may not be transferable by the persons purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered Securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agent agreement to be entered into between us and one or more banks, trust companies or other financial institutions, as rights agent, which we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the rights and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.

The prospectus supplement relating to any rights that we offer will include specific terms relating to the offering, including, among other matters:

	●	the date of determining the security holders entitled to the rights distribution;

	●	the aggregate number of rights issued and the aggregate amount of Securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;

	●	the exercise price;

	●	the conditions to completion of the rights offering; and

	●	the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the rights will expire.

Each right would entitle the holder of the rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of Securities at the exercise price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.

Description of Units

The Company may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described herein in any combination. A prospectus supplement relating to the particular units offered, if any, will describe the terms of such units and, as applicable, the terms of such other securities.

Each unit is expected to be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit is expected to have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued, as the case may be, may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

The applicable prospectus supplement may describe:

	●	the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

	●	any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and

	●	any other material terms and conditions of the units.

The preceding description and any description of units in an applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the unit agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such units.

Plan of Distribution

We may sell the securities covered by this prospectus from time to time by one or more of the following methods, or any combination thereof, or through any other method permitted by law: to or through underwriters, brokers or dealers, with or without an underwriting syndicate, for them to offer and sell to the public; directly to one or more purchasers in negotiated purchases or in competitively bid transactions; through designated agents; directly to holders of warrants exercisable for our securities upon the exercise of warrants; to our existing securityholders in a rights offering; or through a combination of any of these methods of sale. We reserve the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of securities, whether the purchase is to be made directly or through agents.

Each time that we use this prospectus to sell our securities, we will also provide a prospectus supplement that contains the specific terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents and the types and amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by each of them; the public offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us; any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us; any agency fees or underwriting discounts or other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation; any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to underwriters, agents or dealers; any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed; and any delayed delivery arrangements.

The offer and sale of the securities described in this prospectus by us, the underwriters, or the third parties described above may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions: at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange, or otherwise; at prices related to the prevailing market prices; or at negotiated prices.

Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, each series of securities will be a new issue with no established trading market, other than our common shares, which are listed on Nasdaq. We may elect to list any securities on an exchange, but we are not obligated to do so. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, any offered securities.

If underwriters are used in the sale of any securities, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters’ obligations to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of the securities. Only underwriters that we have named in the prospectus supplement will be underwriters of the securities offered by that prospectus supplement.

If we use dealers in the sale of securities, we may sell securities to such dealers as principals. The dealers may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealers at the time of resale. If we use agents in the sale of securities, unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, they will use their reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment. We may solicit offers to purchase the securities directly, and we may sell the securities directly to institutional or other investors, who may be deemed underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resales of those securities. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, if we sell directly, no underwriters, dealers or agents will be involved. The terms of these sales will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will not make an offer of securities in any jurisdiction that does not permit such an offer.

We may authorize underwriters, dealers, or agents to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase our securities at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions or discounts we pay for solicitation of these contracts.

Agents and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

In connection with any offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, over-allotment, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales and penalty bids. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in an offering. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases of the offered securities or any underlying securities made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while an offering is in progress. Short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of the securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on an exchange (if the securities are listed on an exchange) in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates in connection with those derivatives, then the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of shares, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of securities. The third party in any such sale transaction will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).

In connection with the distribution of the securities offered under this prospectus, we may enter into swap or other hedging transactions with, or arranged by, underwriters or agents or their affiliates. These underwriters or agents or their affiliates may receive compensation, trading gain or other benefits from these transactions.

Under the securities laws of some states, to the extent applicable, the securities may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states, certain of the securities may not be sold unless such securities have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

Secondary Offerings by Selling Securityholders

Securities may be sold under this prospectus by way of a secondary offering by or for the account of Selling Securityholders. The prospectus supplement for or including any offering of securities by Selling Securityholders will include the following information, to the extent required by applicable securities laws:

	●	the name of each Selling Securityholder:

	●	the number or amount of securities beneficially owned by each Selling Securityholder prior to the applicable offering;

	●	the number or amount of securities being offered for the account of each Selling Securityholder;

	●	the number or amount of securities to be beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholders immediately following the offering and the percentage that number or amount represents of the total number of the Company’s outstanding securities; and

	●	all other information that is required to be included in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Expense of the Issuance and Distribution

The following table sets forth those expenses to be incurred by us in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered, other than underwriting discounts and commissions.

SEC registration fee	(1	)
Legal fees and expenses	(2	)
Accounting fees and expenses	(2	)
Miscellaneous	(2	)
Total	(2	)

(1) Pursuant to Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the Securities Act, we are deferring payment of all applicable registration fees.

(2) These expenses are not presently known and cannot be estimated at this time as they are based upon the amount and type of security being offered, as well as the number of offerings. The aggregate amount of these expenses will be reflected in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Certain Income Tax Considerations

Material Canadian and/or U.S. income tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of any of the securities offered by this prospectus will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering of those securities. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors prior to any acquisition of our securities.

Enforceability of Civil Liabilities

The Company is incorporated under and governed by the OBCA. Some of the directors and officers of the Company, as well as some of the entities named as experts in this prospectus, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside of the U.S., and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the U.S. It may be difficult for investors who reside in the U.S. to effect service within the U.S. upon those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the U.S. It may also be difficult for investors who reside in the U.S. to realize in the U.S. upon judgments of courts of the U.S. predicated upon our civil liability and the civil liability of the Company’s directors, officers and experts under the U.S. federal securities laws. A final judgment for a liquidated sum in favor of a private litigant granted by a U.S. court and predicated solely upon civil liability under U.S. federal securities laws would, subject to certain exceptions identified in the law of individual provinces and territories of Canada, likely be enforceable in Canada if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained had a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by the domestic Canadian court for the same purposes. There is a significant risk that a given Canadian court may not have jurisdiction or may decline jurisdiction over a claim based solely upon U.S. federal securities law on application of the conflict of laws principles of the province or territory in Canada in which the claim is brought.

Legal Matters

Certain legal matters in connection with the securities offered hereby will be passed upon on behalf of POET by Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP with respect to U.S. legal matters and by Bennett Jones LLP with respect to Canadian legal matters. In addition, if legal matters in connection with any offering of securities made pursuant to this prospectus are passed upon by counsel for any underwriters, dealers or agents, such counsel will be named in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering.
