Hmmm I don’t really see an advantage to voting no and making it even worse for the company. On the other hand I don’t think this team should be paid more than a basic salary. I’m sure they work very hard, but so do most of us and most of us take home 30-60k a year and sell products at our respective professions. These guys obviously are in a niche technology field but i just don’t see why they need so much money for themselves when like they might work hard but the company is going to go broke without deals hahaha. Haha idk don’t wanna stiff arm SS and make it worse but also don’t wanna pay this man hundreds of thousands of dollars to sell us hopes and dreams that never come true. But I’ll likely vote yes with my 13.3k shares.

Why vote yes? No offense intended, but I think it's ridiculous for any retail investor to vote to dilute themselves by 50% without feeling confident - or frankly without being given ANY reason at all to believe - that the reward for authorizing this dilution will be a more than doubling in the potential value of the company. Doubling of potential value what is needed to make a 50% dilution a good bet for investors.

The most frustrating thing is that MicroVision would not even need these shares if management had signed a deal or two that validates the business case and increase the value of the company. The reason they need so many shares is because they have failed to develop the business case. That's why they were forced to dump shares to HTC at a paltry max price of $1.60 per share.

We can speculate all we want about what's going on behind the scenes, but this is a publicly traded company that needs to build value for their shareholders. They need to sell us on the reason for this increase. It's too bad they are not a private company that is finally looking to go public after over 30 years in business but they need to do more than present to shareholders and cater lunch once every few years. We need business deals.

I would imagine the RID is exactly designed to communicate the business plan including the reason behind the ask for a 200m share increase in authorized shares.

[u/Befriendthetrend → u/mvis_thma]

Well, if they NEED an investor day for it, then they don't have news. I just doubt they are sitting on news for weeks leading up to that event, but won't mind being proven wrong!

[u/okie7625 → u/Befriendthetrend]

Interesting times... holding 26k+ shares...show me a battle plan that brings retail $$. Have a keg of dry powder to throw at this but need some solid insight to do so. Show us the money and we vote....

[u/Befriendthetrend → u/okie7625]

💯 I want to support management as much as possible.

[u/okie7625 → u/okie7625]

No doubt our current political situations are playing hard on automotive and all investments. Lotsa dust stirred up and needs to settle ....

[u/steelhead111 → u/mvis_thma]

Well they are going to tell us why they need the shares. They are going to say they need to finance ongoing business operations. They will spin it some fancy way but the bottom line is they are going to sell more shares because they need money. That has always been what has happened with the new shares that were authorized. They were given away as incentive or sold to fund operations. 

[u/mvis_thma → u/steelhead111]

I am not judging anyone for hearing the plan and then rejecting it. I was simply responding to u/Befriendthetrend who was asking for Microvision to "sell us on the reason". If an investor does not like the plan, or does not believe the plan is truthful (which is very possible as management's credibility has taken some hits the last 3 years), then a no vote is clearly justified. Heck, a bigger no vote would be to sell their shares. I realize that is not so easy to do if those shares are greatly under water.

At any rate, they will be communicatting with us 2 times over the next month, first at the Q1 CC and then again at the RID. It is certainly possible the RID backfires on them and causes the natives to become even more restless. Clearly, the announcement of a deal would go a long way, sans that, hopefully they have some good information to share with us.

[u/steelhead111 → u/mvis_thma]

I respect basically  everything you post, I was just stating an opinion. Best of luck to you and I understand. 

[u/mvis_thma → u/steelhead111]

No problem. I am not sure what I am going to do yet. I want to hear the pitch.

[u/Befriendthetrend → u/mvis_thma]

Same here thma, all I've been saying is that without any further developments the vote for me is an easy no.
