Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 6, 2016, Vuzix Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (“Oppenheimer”), related to a public offering of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a public offering price of $5.75 per share, less $0.345 per share of underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Offering”). Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted Oppenheimer an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 150,000 shares of common stock. The Offering is expected to close on or about July 11, 2016, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering will be $5,750,000, prior to deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses associated with the Offering, assuming no exercise by Oppenheimer of its option to purchase additional shares. The Company expects to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including expanding the Company’s products, and for working capital.

The Offering is being made pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), dated July 6, 2016, and an accompanying prospectus dated February 4, 2016, pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-209304), which was filed with the SEC on February 1, 2016 and declared effective by the SEC on February 4, 2016.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions under which the Company has agreed to indemnify Oppenheimer against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that Oppenheimer may be required to make because of any of those liabilities. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement (i) were made only for purposes of such agreement and are as of specific dates, (ii) were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and (iii) may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. The representations and warranties have been made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreement and not to establish any matters as fact, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.

This description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the opinion of Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the common stock in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On July 6, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had priced the Offering described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company’s press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
