Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On May 16, 2012, MicroVision, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) advising the Company that the Company failed to comply with the minimum $50,000,000 market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A).

Nasdaq stated in its letter that in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until November 12, 2012, to regain compliance with the MLVS continued listing requirement. MVLS is calculated by multiplying the total shares outstanding by the daily closing bid price. The Nasdaq letter also states that if, at any time before November 12, 2012, the MVLS of the Company’s common stock closes at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the NASDAQ staff will provide the Company with written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the MVLS continued listing requirement and the matter will be closed. The Company could also regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements by reporting stockholders’ equity of $10 million or more.

The notification from Nasdaq does not impact the listing of the Company’s common stock at this time.

The letter from Nasdaq stated that in the event that the Company does not regain compliance by November 12, 2012, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written notice that its securities are subject to delisting. If the Company is unable to regain compliance with the listing requirement prior to November 12, 2012, the Company could apply to transfer its common stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market, provided that it satisfies the requirement for continued listing on that market, or could appeal the decision to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. In the event of an appeal, the Company’s securities would remain listed on The Nasdaq Global Market pending a decision by the panel following the hearing.

On May 22, 2012, the Company issued a press release, attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1, reporting that it had received the Notice from NASDAQ.
