Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 5, 2011, Mitek Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which, on May 6, 2011, the Company sold to the Investors an aggregate of 2,857,143 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a purchase price of $5.25 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $15 million (the “Financing”).

The Company paid cash compensation of approximately $1,050,000 in placement agent fees and agreed to reimburse up to $25,000 of placement agent out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Financing, including fees and expenses of legal counsel and other advisors of the placement agent.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Financing to fund ongoing operations.

The summary of the terms of the Purchase Agreement included herein is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the Financing is filed as exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The securities described in Item 1.01 above were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The Purchase Agreement executed in connection with the Financing contains representations to support the Company’s reasonable belief that the Investors had access to information concerning the Company’s operations and financial condition, the Investors acquired the securities for their own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof in the absence of an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration, and that the Investors are sophisticated within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and are “accredited investors” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act). In addition, the issuances did not involve any public offering; the Company made no solicitation in connection with the Financing other than communications with the Investors; the Company obtained representations from the Investors regarding their investment intent, experience and sophistication; and the Investors either received or had access to adequate information about the Company in order to make an informed investment decision.

At the time of their issuance, the securities were deemed to be restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act, and the certificates representing the securities bear legends to that effect.  The securities may not be resold or offered in the United States without registration or an exemption from registration.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference.
