    <p>
      REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 27, 2017--MicroVision, Inc.
      (NASDAQ: MVIS), a leader in innovative ultra-miniature projection
      display and sensing technology, today announced that Colonel (Ret.)
      Richard A. Cowell will not stand for re-election to the board of
      directors and will step down when his current term expires at the
      company&#8217;s 2017 annual meeting of shareholders.

      it first became a publicly traded company. His extensive military
      experience, from 25 years of service in the US Army and later as a
      Principal at Booz Allen Hamilton focused on Department of Defense and
      other agency contracts, aided MicroVision in its first ten years which
      were characterized by defense-related contracts. As the company turned
      its focus in 2006 to consumer electronics and other commercial markets,
      Colonel (Ret.) Cowell&#8217;s administrative and executive experience
      continued to benefit the company.

      &#8220;Rich Cowell has been a cornerstone of MicroVision&#8217;s board, and we wish
      him well,&#8221; said Brian Turner, Chairman and Independent Director at
      MicroVision. &#8220;Not only has he provided great insight and guidance from
      his distinguished service in the Army and his experience as a Principal
      at Booz Allen Hamilton, but he is a fantastic person to know and work
      alongside and will be greatly missed.&#8221;

    <p>
      &#8220;Watching the evolution of MicroVision and its laser beam scanning
      technology for these many years has been an extraordinary experience,&#8221;
      said Colonel (Ret.) Cowell. &#8220;I plan to continue watching the company&#8217;s
      progress as it looks to broaden its applications beyond projection to 3D
      sensing and exciting new applications like autonomous vehicles. It is
      also gratifying to see the company engage in augmented and virtual
      reality eyewear, an application with roots in the early days of
      MicroVision when I joined the board.&#8221;
