Microvision Completes $3 Million Private Equity Placement

July 23, 2002 By JSMT Media

Microvision Completes $3 Million Private Equity Placement
7/23/2002 6:33:00 AM
BOTHELL, Wash., Jul 23, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Microvision, Inc.
(Nasdaq:MVIS), a leader in light scanning technologies, today announced that is
has completed a $3 million equity placement, consisting of common stock and
common stock purchase warrants.

The offering consisted of 937,500 shares of registered common stock and 234,375
shares of common stock purchase warrants exercisable at $4.80 per share through
July 22, 2007. The shares were offered under a shelf registration, which allows
the Company to issue up to $20 million of various types of securities. The
Company now has $15.9 remaining under its shelf registration. Two institutional
investors participated in the placement.

“Maintaining a strong balance sheet has been — and will continue to be — a
core strategy for the Company,” said Microvision CEO Rick Rutkowski. “We believe
that raising a modest amount of capital, combined with our recent cost
reductions of $2 million per quarter, is prudent given the current adverse
market conditions. With a reduced cash burn and the availability under the shelf
registration, we have the flexibility to raise smaller amounts of capital to
fund our future operations. We have a good track record of raising capital, even
during difficult market conditions, and we continue to be very excited about our
growth prospects.”
