New Issue: Microvision sells $10 million convertible preferreds at 3.5%

Nashville, Sept. 10 - Microvision Inc. announced Friday that it has issued $10 million of three-year convertible preferred stock at 3.5% plus five-year stock warrants to a single institutional investor, Satellite Strategic Finance Associates, LLC.

Microvision can force conversion if its common stock exceeds $12.09 per share.

Microvision stock closed at $7.00 Thursday.

The warrants will be exercisable for 361,795 shares of common stock at $8.16 per share through Sept. 10, 2009.

"We are pleased to be strengthening our balance sheet and working with a new institutional investor," said Microvision chief executive Rick Rutkowski.

"Establishing long-term relationships with high-quality investors is an important piece of our overall financing strategy. We believe that a stronger balance sheet, an expanded investor base and our equity position in Lumera should enable us to pursue a variety of alternatives in future financings. We are particularly excited about the growth opportunities we are seeing now and we look forward to continuing to report on our successes."
