Rosen Law Firm Files Securities Class Action Lawsuit on Behalf of POET Technologies Inc Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces it has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of the securities of POET Technologies Inc. between April 1, 2026 and 08:57 AM ET on April 27, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for Poet Technologies investors under the federal securities laws. According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) POET Technologies misrepresented its tax status due to it likely being deemed a passive foreign investment company (or “PFIC”) under U.S. tax laws which, if not properly reported by each U.S. stockholder, would have negative tax implications for those U.S. stockholders; (2) the foregoing tax issue would, if discovered, make POET Technologies a less attractive investment than it would otherwise be, thus threatening POET Technologies’ valuation; (3) Defendant Thomas Mika, despite affirming that he was not violating a non-disclosure agreement, in fact violated a business agreement by speaking about POET Technologies’ business agreements in a public interview, thus endangering POET Technologies’ business prospects, and (4) as a result, defendants’ statements about POET Technologies’ business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company.

POET Technologies Inc. Demonstrates Extraordinary Hybrid Laser and Next-Generation High-Powered Light Sources for AI Applications POET Technologies Inc. announced it plans to perform live demonstrations of its two leading external light source (ELS) products at the annual Optical Fiber Communications (OFC) Conference, which will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from March 16-19, 2026. POET’s executive management team and engineers will be meeting customers and industry analysts at the Company’s Booth No. 339 during the exhibition. The products to be demonstrated include: POET Blazar™: A ground-breaking ELS solution, Blazar is a highly integrated hybrid laser that exemplifies the Company’s “semiconductorization of photonics” mission. Designed to power both co-packaged optics (CPO) and high-bandwidth, chip-to-chip, light-based data communications links, Blazar has rapidly advanced since it was first showcased in private meetings at last year’s OFC Conference. POET’s high-power, multi-channel light source is proving to be a viable alternative to traditional DFB laser-based solutions. Wafer-level chip-scale technology significantly lowers the cost of the light source, provides larger scale and better reliability, and increases the effective supply of Indium Phosphide. POET plans to demonstrate the high output power and multi-wavelength capabilities of Blazar. POET Starlgiht™: The next generation of POET’s first ELS solution will be revealed alongside Blazar. The POET Starlight demo will feature a compact engine solution with eight-channel high power lasers at multiple wavelengths. Starlight will be integrated into a working optical engine to show the commercial applicability of the solution to the industry standard ELSFP module. Lightwave Award: In addition, Company representatives will attend a ceremony to accept the recently announced Elite Score award at the Lightwave Innovations Reviews reception, which is scheduled to be held on March 16. POET earned the recognition for POET Teralight™, the Company’s multiple award-winning line of 1.6Tbps transmit and receive optical engines. In February, Lightwave Innovation Reviews announced its judges had given POET Teralight a score of 4.5, one of the highest received among winning entries. The 2026 OFC Conference will feature the Company’s largest booth presence in the history of its attendance. Meetings with current and prospective clients, analysts, media, and institutional investors will take place throughout the duration of the exhibition. Anuncio • Jan 24

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 39% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (39% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (US$199k revenue). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (US$6.0m net loss in 2 years).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 16% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 16% per year over the past 5 years.

Chengdu Insiga Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. and POET Technologies Inc. to Demonstrate Laser Driver and Optical Engine Combinations for 800G and 1.6T Optical Modules At Cioe Chengdu InSiGa Semiconductor Technologies Co., Ltd. and POET Technologies Inc. announced that they have developed and will showcase in a live demonstration the combination of POET's 200Gx4 transmit optical engine using InSiGa's 200G/lane EML driver ISG-D9616 for 800G and 1.6T modules at the 2024 China International Optoelectronic Expo (CIOE) from September 11-13 at POET booth 11B59. AI and big data have led to significant increase in bandwidth in recent times and this higher bandwidth requirement can be supported by next generation 800G/1.6T optical modules. 200Gbs/lane requirement is now required to achieve the highest bandwidth modules that can be used to support AI and emerging datacenter applications. POET and InSiGa have developed a unique solution for 200Gx4 applications based on POET’s revolutionary Silicon based optical interposer technology using InSiGa’s patented DC coupled 200G/lane EML driver. This approach provides the most compact solution and allows for optimal performance as no external components are required between the EML and the driver. This design is built upon the successful implementation of similar optical engines using 100G/lane EML driver ISG-D5616 used in 400G optical engines designed by POET. ISG-D9616 is a single channel DC coupled EML driver that can be flip-chipped or wire bonded directly to the EML. This differential input and single ended output driver does not need any bias-T or capacitor between the driver and the EML. The differential input to the driver also offers cross-talk immunity especially for 112Gbaud/s applications. The driver is very compact with a die size of 0.7x0.9mm. The driver needs no external 50ohm termination for the EML making the design very simple and eliminating RF degradation due to extra bond wire inductance between the EML and the 50ohm termination. ISG-D9616 is sampling to customers now. POET’s 800G FR4 and DR4 transmit optical engines (OE) consist of high-speed externally modulated lasers (EMLs), integrated EML drivers (ISG-D9616) and optical multiplexer (for FR4) assembled on POET’s optical interposer. The drivers and lasers are flip chip attached at wafer scale and passively aligned to waveguides and multiplexer. The OEs have been designed specifically for use in 800G FR4 & 1.6T 2xFR4 and 800G DR4 & 1.6T DR8 OSFP and QSFP-DD pluggable transceivers. Reported Earnings • Aug 16

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 51% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (22% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 16% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (51% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (US$294k revenue). Reported Earnings • May 17

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 12% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$16m free cash flow). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 2.0% per year for the foreseeable future. Revenue is less than US$1m (US$791k revenue). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$19m net loss next year). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (12% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (11% increase in shares outstanding). New Risk • Sep 13
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 2.0% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$16m free cash flow). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 2.0% per year for the foreseeable future. Revenue is less than US$1m (US$791k revenue).

POET Technologies Inc. Creates Platform for 1.6T Transceivers Using 200G Per Lane Technology POET Technologies Inc. announced its development of an optical interposer platform for 1.6T transceivers and beyond using 200G per lane technology for next generation data center and AI networks. Migrating from 100G per lane to 200G per lane doubles the bandwidth with the same face plate density as 100G per lane, lowers the overall system power consumption and reduces the solution cost. Cloud and other service providers can continue to reap the benefits of pluggable transceivers in their networks and deploy pluggable solutions at bandwidths of 1.6T (and beyond) with 200G per lane technology utilizing POET’s enhanced interposer-powered optical engines. Enhancements to the Optical Interposer now support 200Gbps per lane speed for both the transmitter and the receiver. The transmit optical engine has been modified for externally modulated lasers (EML), EML drivers and monolithically integrated multiplexers for single mode fiber applications for up to 10km reach. The receive optical engine can now incorporate the next generation higher speed photodiodes, trans-impedance amplifiers and monolithically integrated low-loss polarization-insensitive demultiplexers for 1.6T transceivers and beyond. The newly-designed Optical Interposer architecture enables seamless wafer-scale passive assembly of externally modulated lasers from multiple suppliers, providing maximum flexibility for customer requirements. Among the new features of the Optical Interposer, the most important include: Novel transmission line designs to supply low-loss, high-speed electrical interconnects with bandwidth greater than 75GHz, a requirement of next generation of high-speed lasers and drivers. Adaptations to support the integration of conventional surface mount device (SMD) components, which improve RF performance that is crucial at such high speeds. New, proprietary demux architectures and assembly techniques to allow passive, wafer-level assembly of the next generation of high-speed photodiodes. Through-Silicon-Vias (TSVs) on the Optical Interposer platform for integration of high-speed electrical and optical components while eliminating wire bonds – one of the primary sources of signal noise and interference in transceivers. The overall effect of these improvements to the Optical Interposer platform is to achieve superior performance in a power-optimized solution at 200G per lane that can be included in 1.6T pluggable transceivers. The small form factor of POET Optical Engines makes the solution scalable to 3.2T pluggable transceivers in current industry standard form factors. POET expects to complete the design of 1.6T Transmit and Receive optical engines with 200Gbps per lane technology based on the new generation of Optical Interposer designs by early 2024. It plans to demonstrate these products at major tradeshows and start customer sampling by first half of 2024. Price Target Changed • Aug 07
