      (NASDAQ: KOPN) today announced, as required by NASDAQ Listing Rule
      5635(c)(4), that it has granted restricted stock to Mr. Dashen Fan (&#8220;Mr.
      Fan&#8221;), a new employee, as a material inducement for Mr. Fan to enter
      into employment with Kopin. Mr. Fan is not related to Dr. John C.C. Fan,
