• Reverse Stock Split Proposal

  Shareholders will vote on authorizing a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-5 and 1-for-15. This is a critical step to regain compliance with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement by the July 13, 2026 deadline, following a notice of non-compliance received on January 12, 2026. This formalizes the plan announced in a concurrent 8-K filing.

• Convertible Note Conversion Approval

  The company is seeking approval for the issuance of shares upon conversion of $43 million in senior secured convertible notes, issued on February 23, 2026, at an initial conversion price of $0.8819 per share. This approval is required by Nasdaq rules due to the potential issuance of over 61 million shares (approximately 20% of outstanding shares prior to the notes' issuance). Without approval, the company would be forced to make substantial cash payments instead of issuing shares.

• Significant Potential Dilution

  The conversion of the $43 million in convertible notes could result in the issuance of approximately 61.3 million shares, representing about 20% dilution based on shares outstanding prior to the notes' issuance. While the conversion price is at a premium to the current stock price, the overall dilution is substantial.

• Annual Meeting Agenda

  The PRE 14A outlines the agenda for the Annual Meeting on July 10, 2026, which also includes the election of seven director nominees, a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, and the ratification of Baker Tilly US, LLP as the independent auditor.

MicroVision is seeking shareholder approval for two critical proposals: a reverse stock split to regain Nasdaq compliance and the conversion of $43 million in senior secured convertible notes into shares. Failure to approve the note conversion would require substantial cash payments, while failure to approve the reverse split could lead to delisting. These actions are vital for the company's financial stability and market presence, reflecting ongoing challenges with its stock price and capital structure.
