Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 9, 2016, MicroVision, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (the “Underwriter”). The Underwriting Agreement provides for the sale of 12,149,533 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $1.07 per share, less an underwriting discount of $0.0749 per share. The Company also granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,822,430 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any. The sale of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement is expected to close on or about December 14, 2016, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-211869) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘SEC”) on June 22, 2016. A prospectus supplement relating to the sale of the shares of Common Stock will be filed with the SEC.
The Company expects to receive net proceeds from the offering of approximately $11.8 million, or approximately $13.6 million if the Underwriter exercises its option to purchase additional shares in full, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes.
A copy of the opinion of Ropes & Gray LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the securities is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and 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.
