Deal with existing investor Azimuth Opportunity could free up cash to help develop company's laser-based microdisplay technology.
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MicroVision, Inc. (Nasdaq:MVIS - News) today announced that it has secured a committed equity financing facility under which it may sell up to $35 million of its shares of common stock to Azimuth Opportunity, Ltd. (“Azimuth”) over a 24-month period. MicroVision is not obligated to use the facility and remains free to enter into and consummate other equity and debt financing transactions.
“This facility provides additional flexibility to raise money to progress the development of the next-generation high-definition PicoP® display engine,” commented Jeff Wilson, Chief Financial Officer of MicroVision.
MicroVision will determine, at its sole discretion, the timing, dollar amount and floor price per share for any draw under this facility, subject to certain limitations. When and if MicroVision elects to use the facility, the number and price of shares sold in each draw will be determined by a contractual formula and the investor will purchase shares at a pre-negotiated discount to either the volume-weighted-average price of MicroVision’s common stock over a multi-day pricing period or the floor price determined by MicroVision. The actual amount of funds that can be raised under this facility will depend on the number of shares actually sold under the agreement and the market value of MicroVision’s stock during the pricing period of each sale.
MicroVision may not issue more than 22,030,737 shares in connection with the facility, which is less than 20% of MicroVision’s outstanding shares of common stock on September 8, 2011.
The shares of our common stock offered and sold to Azimuth have been registered on our existing registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-175419). The registration statement also covers the sale of those shares from time to time by Azimuth to the public.
Reedland Capital Partners, an Institutional Division of Financial West Group, member FINRA/SIPC, will act as placement agent and receive a fee for its services at the time of any draw under the facility.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
