* *The offering is being fully subscribed by two new fundamental investment managers* 

* *Company's pro-forma cash position expected to be in excess of US$300 million following closing*

TORONTO, Oct. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- POET Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: POET) (the "Company"), the designer and developer of the POET Optical Interposer™, Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) and light sources for the data center, tele-communication and artificial intelligence markets, today announced that it has entered into securities purchase agreements with institutional investors for the purchase and sale of 20,689,655 common shares in an oversubscribed registered direct offering. The offering is expected to result in gross proceeds of approximately US$150 million, before deducting offering expenses. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about October 28, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Participants in the offering include two new fundamental investment managers.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this investment for corporate development, including targeted acquisitions, scaling up of R&D, acceleration of the light source business, expanding operations, and general working capital.

Titan Partners Group, a division of American Capital Partners, is acting as the sole placement agent for the offering.

"POET's Optical Interposer platform is a singularly elegant solution to connectivity challenges at each level of AI infrastructure, from chip-to-chip data communications to data transfer within the datacenter to the mobile networks that deliver that data to users", said Dr. Suresh Venkatesan, Executive Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of POET. "In each of these areas, we transform information bottlenecks into data highways by marrying what is possible in silicon to what is powerful in light. This additional investment by two leading global investment funds adds immeasurably to POET's ability to deliver advanced photonic solutions. With over US$300 million in cash, we can accelerate our pursuit of targeted acquisitions, enhance our capabilities and talent, vertically integrate our products to improve cost and performance, and expand operations to pursue revenue opportunities across the board, bringing long-term value to shareholders."

This offering is being made in the United States only pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-280553) previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and declared effective on September 10, 2024. The offering is made only by means of a prospectus supplement, which will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC's website located at www.sec.gov. Electronic copies of the prospectus supplement may be obtained, when available, by contacting Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC, 4 World Trade Center, 49th Floor, New York, NY 10007, by phone at (929) 833-1246 or by email at prospectus@titanpartnersgrp.com.
