OPL Poet Technologies, Inc.

OPEL Technologies Inc. ("OTI") (TSX VENTURE:OPL) and OPEL Solar Inc. ("OSI")
(collectively "OPEL" or "the Company"), a leading global supplier of solar
tracker systems and other solar related products, and a semiconductor device and
process developer, announced today the resignation of Dr. Samuel Peralta from
the Board of Directors. Dr. Peralta advised the Company that he has had to take
on expanded responsibilities on the Boards of other companies, which
responsibilities are incompatible with remaining on the Board of OPEL. Dr.
Peralta has served on the Board of Directors of OTI since 2007 and of OSI since
2005. He has also served the Company as Chairman of Corporate Governance
Committee since June 2008. We wish Sam well in his future endeavors. 


In his letter of resignation, Dr. Peralta stated, "For the record, my confidence
remains unshaken in the abilities of POET's core team, and in the potential of
OPEL's POET platform to make significant inroads in integrated systems. I wish
OPEL success in this pursuit."


Management and the Board are reviewing potential candidates to fill the vacancy
created by Dr. Peralta's resignation, and the Board will be announcing its
decision next week.
