version follows. 


POET Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PTK)(OTCQX:POETF) ("POET" or "the Company"),
make the following announcements.


Annual General Meeting

The Company announces that the Board of Directors met on April 3, 2014 and
scheduled its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") for Tuesday, August 12, 2014 in
Storrs, Connecticut. The Company anticipates that Proxy Material will be mailed
to Shareholders by mid-July. 


The AGM is being held at Storrs to allow shareholders to visit the lab
facilities and be provided an updated overview of the ODIS facility, including
any new advances achieved through the installation of new equipment, including
the upgraded molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) facility. The overview will further
reinforce the Company's drive to commercialize the POET platform, and we welcome
the opportunity to showcase these developments to shareholders. Further details
of the AGM will be announced as they become available.


Option Grant

As previously announced, Mr. Daniel DeSimone, joined the staff at the POET
laboratories as Senior Vice President, Product Development of ODIS Inc. The
Board of Directors approved the grant of 200,000 stock options pursuant to the
Company's stock option plan. The stock options are exercisable at a price of
CA$1.44 per share expiring April 3, 2019. Pursuant to the TSX Venture Exchange
policies, the exercise price was fixed by the closing market price of April 2,
2013. The options will vest and be exercisable on the basis of 25% in 90 days
and 25% every six months thereafter. 


Deferral of Board Fees Increase and Options

In addition with the above options grant, and in accordance with its Corporate
Governance and Compensation Charters, the Board considered the compensation
framework of its members. Despite various indicators - an increase in Director
workload due to regulatory requirements, and industry increases in Directors'
fees as documented by the National Association of Corporate Directors of between
4 and 13% - the Board has again deferred an increase in Directors' fees and
deferred options grants for the Board.


Peter Copetti, Executive Chairman and interim CEO, noted "This Board has added,
and continues to add, great value to the Company. Their commitment to POET
shareholders, and to the POET technology and vision, is steadfast and their
actions over the last two years have proven so. I thank them all personally for
their time and energy."
