3. STRATEGIC INVESTMENT FROM THEON

On August 8, 2025, Kopin Corporation announced certain strategic agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) for an aggregate of $15 million strategic investment from Theon International Plc (“Theon”). The Agreements closed on October 16, 2025, upon resolution of all related closing conditions, and the following related transactions were consummated:

	(i)	Theon acquired a 49% interest in Kopin’s subsidiary, Kopin Europe Ltd. for $8.0 million:
	(ii)	the parties entered into a licensing and collaboration agreement dated October 16, 2025 (the “License and Collaboration Agreement” or “LCA”) relating to the joint development of military products; and
	(iii)	Theon purchased $7.0 million for 1,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (Refer to Note 8 for further information).

As a result of the sale of equity interests in Kopin Europe Ltd. and the existence of certain substantive participating rights provided to Theon, Kopin Corporation lost its controlling financial interest in Kopin Europe Ltd., a variable interest entity, as of October 16, 2025. Accordingly, it was determined that for accounting purposes the Company is not the primary beneficiary and elected to account for its equity method investment in Kopin Europe at fair value (Refer to Note 4 for further information).

The License and Collaboration Agreement between Kopin Corporation, Kopin Europe, and Theon, together with associated side letters, established a framework for joint development and commercialization of multiple product categories, including the DarkWave module, DarkWave subsystem, Theon End Product, certain MicroLED displays, and OLED displays. As of March 28, 2026 total committed funding received by Kopin Corporation from Theon under the LCA was $1.0 million. During the three months ended March 28, 2026, $0.3 million was recognized as Collaboration arrangement income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
