Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Underwriting Agreement

On March 13, 2014, MicroVision, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (the “Underwriter”). The Underwriting Agreement provides for the sale of (i) an aggregate of 7,160,000 shares (“Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,148,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). The shares of Common Stock and Warrants are being sold as units (“Units”), with each Unit consisting of one Share and one Warrant to purchase 0.3 shares of Common Stock, at a public offering price of $1.94 per Unit, less the underwriting discounts and commissions payable by the Company (the “Offering”). The Underwriter will purchase the Units at a discounted price of $1.8236 per Unit. The transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement are expected to close on March 18, 2014, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Shares and the Warrants are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s registration statements on Form S-3 (Registration Nos. 333-192864 and 333-184703 and the Registration Statement filed on March 13, 2014 pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 relating thereto).

Warrant Agreement

Upon closing of the Offering, the Company will enter into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) pursuant to which the Warrants will be issued at an exercise price equal to $2.47 per share. The warrants will be exercisable at any time beginning six months from the date of issuance and until the five-year anniversary of the date of initial issuance. The warrants may be exercised by surrendering to the warrant agent the warrant certificate evidencing the warrants to be exercised with the accompanying exercise notice, appropriately completed, duly signed and delivered, together with cash payment of the exercise price, if applicable.

In the event of an extraordinary transaction, as described in the warrants and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of our common stock, in which the amount of the alternate consideration is less than the exercise price of the warrant, then we or any successor entity shall pay at the holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with or within thirty (30) days after the consummation of the fundamental transaction, an amount of cash equal to the value of the warrant as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model.

Upon surrender of the warrant certificate, with the exercise notice appropriately completed and duly signed and cash payment of the exercise price, if applicable, on and subject to the terms and conditions of the warrant agreement, we will deliver or cause to be delivered, to or upon the written order of such holder, the number of whole shares of common stock to which the holder is entitled, which shares may be delivered in book-entry form. If fewer than all of the warrants evidenced by a warrant certificate are to be exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining number of warrants.

If, and only if, a registration statement relating to the issuance of the shares underlying the warrants is not then effective or available, a holder of warrants would only be entitled to exercise the warrants on a cashless basis, where the holder receives the net value of the warrant in shares of common stock. Holders of warrants also will be able to exercise their warrants only if the shares of common stock underlying the warrant are qualified for sale or are at the time exempt from qualification under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of the states in which such holder (or other persons to whom it is proposed that shares be issued on exercise of the warrants) reside. Shares issued pursuant to a cashless exercise would be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) by persons other than our affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act).

The exercise price and the number and type of securities purchasable upon exercise of warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain corporate events, including certain combinations, consolidations, liquidations, mergers, recapitalizations, reclassifications, reorganizations, stock dividends and stock splits, a sale of all or substantially all of our assets and certain other events.


No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. The warrants do not confer upon holders any voting or other rights as stockholders of the Company.

A copy of the opinion of Ropes & Gray LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the securities in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto. Copies of the Underwriting Agreement and the Warrant Agreement are filed herewith as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Offering by the Company and the documentation related thereto does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
