Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 21, 2021, MicroVision, Inc. (the Company) entered into an
At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the Sales Agreement) with Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (Craig-Hallum) pursuant to which the Company may
sell, at its option, up to an aggregate of $140 million in shares of its common stock through Craig-Hallum, as sales agent. Sales of the common stock made pursuant to the Sales Agreement, if any, will be made under the Companys effective
Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on February 16, 2021 (the Registration Statement). Prior to any sales under the Sales Agreement, the Company will deliver a placement notice to
Craig-Hallum that will set the parameters for such sale of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in any one trading
day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Craig-Hallum may sell the shares, if any, only by methods deemed to be an at the market offering as defined in Rule
415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including without limitation sales made directly through The Nasdaq Global Market, by means of ordinary brokers transactions, in negotiated transactions, to or through a market
maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices and/or any other method permitted by law. Craig-Hallum will use commercially
reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the shares in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement and any applicable placement notice. The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will issue any
shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement.
The Company will pay Craig-Hallum a commission equal to (i) 2.35% of the first $50 million of gross proceeds
from the sale of shares of the Companys common stock under the Sales Agreement and (ii) 2.00% of any additional gross proceeds from the sale of shares of the Companys common stock under the Sales Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the
Sales Agreement, the Company also provided Craig-Hallum with customary indemnification rights. The offering of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all of the common stock subject to
the Sales Agreement and (ii) the termination of the Sales Agreement by the Company or Craig-Hallum. Either party may terminate the agreement in its sole discretion at any time upon written notice to the other party.
The Company currently anticipates that the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered under the Registration Statement will be used for general
corporate purposes, which may include, but are not limited to, working capital and capital expenditures.
