On December 1, 2022, MicroVision GmbH, a company organized under the laws of The Federal Republic of Germany and wholly owned subsidiary of MicroVision, Inc., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Ibeo Automotive Systems GmbH, a company organized under the laws of The Federal Republic of Germany, pursuant to which MicroVision has agreed to acquire from Ibeo certain assets related to Ibeo’s lidar sensor business. Ibeo Automotive Systems GmbH also operates in the ADAS industry providing Lidar based solutions to its customers.
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, the purchase price MicroVision agreed to pay to Ibeo is EUR 15.0 million or approximately $16.1 million, subject to potential reduction on the terms set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. MicroVision has also advanced operating funds to Ibeo during the
pre-Closing
period on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
On January 31, 2023, the acquisition of certain assets of Ibeo was completed. Through the closing date, Microvision has advanced operating funds to Ibeo totaling EUR 6.6 million or approximately $7.1 
million for its ongoing operations, of which $4.1 million was advanced prior to December 31, 2022 and the remaining amount was advanced during January 2023. These operating funds also included costs related to headcount reductions carried out by Ibeo management, decreasing the number of employees to transfer in connection with the acquisition to approximately 250 employees. These headcount reduction costs will be reimbursed to MicroVision by way of deduction from the purchase price in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement. In addition, upon closing, MicroVision has made payments of
EUR 7.0 million or approximately $7.6 million to Ibeo and EUR 3.0 million or approximately $3.3 million to an escrow account towards the purchase price. We expect to make the remaining final payment in Q2 2023 net of all such costs that will be reimbursed to MicroVision per the Asset Purchase Agreement.
