Neonode Prices $16.0 Million Public Offering of Common Stock
SANTA CLARA, California – December 8, 2011
Neonode Inc. (NEON.OB) today announced the pricing of a $16.0 million underwritten public offering of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock, of which 3,000,000 shares are being offered by Neonode and 1,000,000 shares are being offered by Per Bystedt, its executive chairman, and Thomas Eriksson, its chief executive officer. The shares will be offered at a price to the public of $4.00 per share. The net proceeds to Neonode from this offering are expected to be approximately $11.2 million, after deducting the underwriting discount but before deducting other estimated offering expenses payable by Neonode. The selling stockholders have granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase, at the public offering price, up to an aggregate of 600,000 additional shares of its common stock to cover overallotments, if any. Neonode will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any shares by the selling stockholders or upon the exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option. The offering is expected to close on or about December 13, 2011, subject to customary closing conditions. Neonode anticipates using the net proceeds from the offering primarily for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and working capital.
