Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 25, 2021, Vuzix Corporation (the “Company”) entered
into an underwriting agreement with BTIG, LLC, as representative of the underwriters identified therein (the “underwriters”),
pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the underwriters, in an underwritten public offering 4,146,342 shares of common
stock, at a public offering price of $20.50 per share (the “Offering”), less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company
has also granted to the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 621,951 additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments,
if any. The Company expects to receive approximately $85 million in gross proceeds from the Offering, before deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The shares are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s effective registration
statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-252673), which was declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 9, 2021, and the base prospectus included therein, as supplemented by the
preliminary prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on March 25, 2021, and the final prospectus supplement expected to be filed with
the SEC on or about March 26, 2021. The Offering is expected to close on or about March 30, 2021, subject to satisfaction of customary
closing conditions. The Company intends to use net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital
to accelerate the building of finished goods inventory to address increasing customer demand, new technology development, new product
development, purchases of technology, expansion of the Company’s software offerings, and possible related acquisitions of other
firms.
The underwriting agreement contains customary representations, warranties
and covenants of the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the underwriter, including
for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and termination and other provisions customary for transactions of this
nature. All of the Company’s executive officers and directors have also agreed not to sell or transfer any securities of the Company
held by them for a period of 90 days from March 25, 2021, subject to limited exceptions.
The above description of the underwriting agreement is qualified in
its entirety by the underwriting agreement, which is attached to this report as Exhibit 1.1 and which is incorporated by reference into
the Registration Statement.
Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP, counsel to the Company, has issued an opinion
to the Company regarding the validity of the securities to be issued in the Offering. A copy of the opinion is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to
this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements related to the anticipated closing of the Offering and the amount of proceeds
expected from the Offering. The risks and uncertainties involved include the Company’s ability to satisfy certain conditions to
closing on a timely basis or at all, as well as other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. You
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are based on the Company’s current expectations and
assumptions and speak only as of the date of this report. The Company does not intend to revise or update any forward-looking statement
in this report to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date hereof, except as may be required by law.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 26, 2021, the Company issued a press release regarding the
pricing of the underwritten public offering. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
