CHINA Xiamen Sanan/POET JV Operations Office :
Production (POET expects to hire 15 people in the first year)

The JV will be based in Xiamen and it will be hiring its own management and staff. POET personnel will do the hiring. The company expects to hire 15 people in the first year, and five to ten more in the second year. POET will provide support to the JV from three locations: Allentown, Singapore and Shenzhen. POET's direct expense for specific designs of the interposer will be covered by NRE contracts, starting in Year 1 and for additional interposer designs in subsequent years.
