Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On March 21, 2013, ParkerVision, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. as the sole bookrunning manager (the “Underwriter”), related to the public offering by the Company (the “Offering”) of an aggregate of 4,100,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”). The Company also granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an aggregate of 615,000 additional shares (together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”) of Common Stock as may be necessary to cover any over-allotments made in connection with the Offering. The Shares are being sold to the public at a price of $3.25 per share. The Underwriter has agreed to purchase the Shares at a discount of $0.182 per share, representing 5.6% of the public offering price, for an aggregate discount of $746,200 (or $858,130 assuming the over-allotment option is exercised in full). After deducting underwriting discounts and estimated expenses payable by the Company associated with the Offering, the net proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $12,433,800, (or $14,320,620, assuming the over allotment option is exercised in full).
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants of the Company and is subject to customary closing conditions. In addition, the Company and Underwriter have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including indemnification of the Underwriter by the Company for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and for liabilities arising from breaches of the representations, warranties or obligations contained in the Underwriting Agreement. The Company anticipates that the Offering will close on March 26, 2013, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions.
The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-183713), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 4, 2012 and declared effective by the SEC on September 11, 2012, and the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-187403), which became effective immediately upon filing with the SEC on March 21, 2013, pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act, and is described in more detail in a prospectus supplement dated March 21, 2013 and an accompanying base prospectus dated September 11, 2012.
The Underwriting Agreement has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Underwriting Agreement.
