Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On December 30, 2016, ParkerVision, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with FBR Capital Markets & Co. (“FBR”) pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $10,000,000 (the “Shares”) through FBR.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Agreement, FBR will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell, on the Company’s behalf, the shares of common stock offered by the Company under the ATM Agreement. Sales of the Company’s common stock, if any, made under the ATM Agreement may be made in sales deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including without limitation sales made directly on the Nasdaq Capital Market Exchange, on any other existing trading market for the common stock or to or through a market maker. In addition, FBR may also sell Shares, with the Company’s consent, by any other method permitted by law, including but not limited to negotiated transactions.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for research and development, sales and marketing activities, and for other working capital and general corporate purposes. The ATM Agreement provides that FBR will be entitled to compensation for its services of 3.0% of the gross sales price of all Shares sold through FBR under the ATM Agreement. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares under the ATM Agreement, and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers under the ATM Agreement.
The Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-214598). The Company filed a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”), dated December 30, 2016, with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.
The ATM Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and FBR, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The ATM Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the descriptions of the material terms of the ATM Agreement in this Item 1.01 are qualified in their entirety by reference to such Exhibit, which is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the opinion of Graubard Miller relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.01.
This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
