Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.



On September 19, 2018, ParkerVision, Inc. (the “Company”) consummated the sale of a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) for aggregate proceeds of $425,000.   In connection with the transaction, the Company entered into a security purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor (“Holder”) which provides for the sale of a Note with an aggregate face value of $425,000.  The Note is convertible by the Holder into shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) at a fixed conversion price of $0.57 per share.  Any unconverted, outstanding principal amount of the Note is payable in cash on September 18, 2023.  

At any time following the one-year anniversary of the  issuance of the Note, the Company may prepay the then outstanding principal amount of the Note, along with any accrued interest, at cash premium of 125% prior to the two-year anniversary, 120% prior to the three-year anniversary, 115% prior to the four-year anniversary or 110% thereafter.  Interest of 8% per annum is payable on the Note beginning on March 18, 2019 and in quarterly installments thereafter at the Company’s option, subject to certain equity conditions, in either (i) cash or (ii) shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock.  

The note provides for events of default that include (i) failure to pay principal or interest when due, (ii) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in the Purchase Agreement or Note, (iii) events of liquidation or bankruptcy, and (iii) a change in control.  In the event of default, the interest rate increases to 12% per annum and the outstanding principal balance of the Note plus all accrued interest due may be declared immediately payable by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note.  

The Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Holder pursuant to which the Company will register the shares of Common Stock underlying the Note.  The Company has committed to file the registration statement by the 60th calendar day following the Closing Date and to cause the registration statement to become effective by the 120th calendar day following the Closing Date   The Registration Rights Agreement provides for liquidated damages upon the occurrence of certain events including failure by the Company to file the registration statement or cause it to become effective by the deadlines set forth above. The amount of the liquidated damages is 1.0% of the aggregate subscription amount paid by the Holder for the Note upon the occurrence of the event, and monthly thereafter, up to a maximum of 6%.

The Note was offered and sold solely to an accredited investor on a private placement basis under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.

The foregoing summaries of the Purchase Agreement, the Note and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, which are attached as part of Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
