Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 26, 2018, ParkerVision, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC (“Aspire Capital”) whereby the Company agreed to sell to Aspire Capital up to $2.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) and warrants, in two tranches.

On July 26, 2018, the Company sold to Aspire Capital (i) a pre-funded warrant to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $.01 per share (“Pre-Funded Warrant”) and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $.74 per share (a “Warrant”), for a purchase price of $975,000. In addition, the Agreement provides that on the day following the effectiveness of the registration statement described below, provided that the closing price of the Company’s common stock on such date is equal to or greater than $.50 per share, a second purchase shall occur whereby the Company will sell to Aspire Capital (i) an additional 2,500,000 shares of common stock (or a Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu thereof to the extent Aspire Capital elects or to the extent such purchase would result in Aspire Capital owning over 14.99% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock) and (ii) a Warrant to purchase an additional 2,500,000 shares of common stock, for a purchase price of $1.0 million (or at least $975,000 if Aspire Capital purchases a Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu of common stock). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sales for general corporate purposes.

The Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants expire five years after their issuance and have substantially similar other terms, except (i) for exercise price and (ii) that the Warrants are exercisable on the date that is six months after issuance and the Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable after issuance. The Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock and also upon any distributions of assets to the Company’s stockholders. The Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants contain provisions that prohibit exercise if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The holder of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants may increase (up to 14.99%) or decrease this percentage by providing at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company. In the event of certain corporate transactions, the holder of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of such Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants immediately prior to such transaction. The Warrants and Pre-Funded warrants do not contain voting rights or any of the other rights or privileges as a holder of the Company’s common stock.  Upon the holder’s notice of exercise of the Warrant or Pre-Funded Warrant, the Company has the option, but not the obligation, to deliver to the holder in lieu of shares of common stock to which holder is entitled, a cash payment equal to the market value of the shares of common stock based on the preceding trading day’s closing sales price.

The Company has agreed to file a registration statement as permissible and necessary to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the resale by Aspire Capital of the shares of the Company’s common stock and the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants which have been or which may be issued under the Agreement.
