Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Letter Agreement
As previously reported, on October 14, 2024, MicroVision, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with High Trail Special Situations LLC (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company issued senior secured convertible notes (the “Convertible Note”) to the Investor. The principal amount for the initial note was $45 million . On February 3, 2025, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the Investor (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which the Investor elected to receive Partial Redemption Payments for the total aggregate amount of $11,550,000 with respect to Partial Redemption Dates for June 1, 2025, July 1, 2025 and August 1, 2025, and to defer such Partial Redemption Payments to subsequent Partial Redemption Payments Dates beginning on September 1, 2025 and ending on March 1, 2026. Furthermore, the Investor has agreed to convert $2,750,000 of the currently outstanding Initial Principal Amount, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to convert the remaining $5,975,000 of the currently outstanding Initial Principal Amount by March 15, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter, but subject to their Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth in the Convertible Note. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Convertible Note.
The above description of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of such agreement, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
The terms and conditions of the Convertible Note and the agreements, instruments and documents entered into in connection with the Convertible Note are further described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2024.
Registered Direct Offering
Securities Purchase Agreement
On February 3, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor 5,750,225 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”) and warrants to purchase up to 5,750,225 shares of our common stock (the “Warrants,” and together with the Shares, the “Securities”), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8 million. The sale of the Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is expected to close on or about February 4, 2025.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares for general corporate purposes.
The Securities (including the common stock issuable upon exercise or exchange of the Warrants) are being issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-272616) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 4, 2024. A prospectus supplement relating to the sale of the Securities (including the common stock issuable upon exercise or exchange of the Warrants) will be filed with the SEC.
Warrant
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company will issue the Warrants to the Investor. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $1.57 per share. The Warrants will be exercisable at any time on or after the earlier of (i) the date that is six months after the date of issuance and (ii) the date that the Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Convertible Note) is obtained. 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. We may, in connection with certain fundamental transactions, be required to pay an amount in cash equal to the value of the warrant as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model.

Holders of the Warrants may exercise their Warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock on or before the termination date by delivering an exercise notice, appropriately completed and duly signed, and payment of the exercise price for the number of shares for which the Warrant is being exercised in cash. If, and only if, a registration statement relating to the issuance of the shares underlying the Warrants is not then effective or available or such shares would not be freely tradable, a holder of Warrants would 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.
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 Shares and Warrants is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto. Copies of the Purchase Agreement and the Form of Warrant are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.2 and 4.1, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.
