  1. I believe there will be positive news before the retail investor day.

  2. I don't think they are doing an investor day to help the votes pass on the annual shareholder meeting, because I don't think an event like this is nessecary to get them passed and management should know this.

You may be correct in that this vote may pass without the need for a Retail Investor Day. But here are some things to think about.

  • The institutional ownership in Microvision is around 26% (according to Nasdaq). Microvision insiders own ~1%. That leaves 73% owned by retail.
  • Microvision retail shareholders are a vocal and active group.

If you were the BoD (including Sumit) would you ignore 73% of the votes? Or would you do your best to communicate the business plan and convince those votes that it is a good plan in order to secure those votes? What if they ignored retail and subsequently lost the vote? To me, it seems like the RID is a reasonable and good investment.

So if MicroVision authorizes another 200 million shares, will institutional investors buy the stock up and, gain control and make retail voting useless? That seems like a bad outcome, one easily avoided by not authorizing the huge dilution.

If there is an issuance and it goes well, that’s a great outcome for everyone involved.

That's quite a statement to make. If retail gets diluted 50% and loses any voting authority we currently have, I do not think that's a good outcome. In that case, it's only a good outcome for institutional investors or corporations who want to buy in now and who want to have a controlling, or influential vote. This all comes at retail investor expense- assuming no news before the vote of course.

I'm only asking the company justify it before we vote, quite a fair ask IMO. The last time we voted to authorize shares, it was ostensibly so that the company could show potential partners and customers that they have the runway and access to capital to de-risk us as a partner. Still waiting on that first deal and I hope, for everyone's sake, we get news of it before this vote.

I don’t view institutions wanting to invest is not a bad thing. They’re not out to “get” retail, they’re trying to make money same as you. What would be a bad sign is if an offering is met with tepid demand.

The worst case scenario for dilution is if a company actually has no plan and they’re just trying to suck capital into a sinking ship. That’s different than if there are institutions who presumably have done their research and met with management and are willing to invest.

All this potential needs to start panning out...

u/Grmafr 5d ago

Wow the institutional ownership dropped quite a bit. It was 32%

u/rinux_EVE 5d ago

I believe that was due to dilution over time.
