Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Results of Operations and Financial Condit
On July 30, 2009, Kopin Corporation (the "Company") purchased 19,572,468 shares of Kopin Taiwan Corporation, ("KTC") common stock for approximately $5,975,000. The Company has also agreed to purchase 128,226 shares of KTC from Microelectronics Technology Inc. ("MTI") as described below. As a result of these two transactions and the Company's previous investments in KTC, the Company will own approximately 87% of the outstanding common stock of KTC. The remaining 13% will be held by other investors and employees of KTC. In conjunction with this financing, KTC has agreed to repay the outstanding balance of the loans due to the Company from KTC in the aggregate amount of approximately $2,000,000. As a result of the Company's increased ownership position in KTC, on a going forward basis the Company plans to consolidate KTC's financial statements with the Company's own financial statements.
The Company issued a press release on August 4, 2009, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by this reference, in which the company announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 27, 2009. This information shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In connection with the acquisition of shares of KTC stock, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Audit Committee") waived the potential application of the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to the Company's purchase of the KTC shares of capital stock described in Item 1.01 above. The Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics generally prohibits conflicts of interests. The Company notes that one of its directors, Dr. Chi Chia Hsieh, is also the Chairman of KTC and the Vice Chairman of MTI. While the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics may consider Dr. Hsieh's position in KTC and MTI to be a conflict of interest, the Audit Committee has determined that the transaction is advisable to the Company and has determined that a waiver of such requirements is appropriate in this instance.
(d) Exhibits.
99.1 Press Release dated August 4, 2009, announcing Kopin Corporation's financial results for the second quarter ended June 27, 2009.
