STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Report, contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s belief and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect our results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, those listed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Report, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this Report and the documents that we reference in this Report and have filed with the SEC as exhibits to this Report, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

the potential impact of prolonged inflation and supply chain disruptions on our revenues, cost of goods and margins;

eMAGIN CORPORATION 

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

 

 

Note 1 – Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

The Business 

eMagin Corporation, or the Company, designs, develops, manufactures and markets Active Matrix organic light emitting diode, or OLED, -on-silicon microdisplays used in military and commercial AR/VR devices and other near-eye imaging products which utilize OLED microdisplays. The Company’s products are sold mainly in North America, Asia, and Europe.

On May 17, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Samsung Display Co., Ltd., a Korean corporation (“Parent” or “Samsung Display”), Emerald Intermediate, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Silk USA”), and Emerald Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Silk USA (“Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”) (see Note 2).

Basis of Presentation 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of eMagin Corporation and its subsidiary reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company manages its operations on a consolidated, integrated basis in order to optimize its equipment and facilities and to effectively service its global customer base and concludes that it operates in a single business segment. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to instructions, rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and related disclosures, should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2022 are derived from audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

Use of estimates

In accordance with GAAP, management utilizes certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments related to, among others, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, inventory reserves, stock-based compensation expense, percentage of completion of contracts, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, litigation and other loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Intangible Assets – Patents

Acquired patents are recorded at purchase price as of the date acquired and amortized over the expected useful life, which is generally the remaining life of the patent.

The total intangible amortization expense was approximately $2 thousand and $4 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Product warranty

The Company generally offers a one-year product replacement warranty. The standard policy is to repair or replace the defective products. The Company accrues for estimated returns of defective products at the time revenue is recognized based on historical activity as well as for specific known product issues. The determination of these accruals requires the Company to make estimates of the frequency and extent of warranty activity and estimate future costs to replace the products under warranty. If the actual warranty activity and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from these estimates, adjustments to cost of revenue may be required in future periods.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and excludes any dilutive effects of common stock equivalent shares such as stock options, warrants, restricted stock units and convertible preferred stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. 

The Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred stock, or Preferred Stock – Series B, is considered a participating security as the preferred stock participates in dividends with the common stock, which requires the use of the two-class method when computing basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share must be calculated under both the treasury stock and two-class method, and the calculation that results in the most dilutive earnings per share amount for the common stock is reported. The Preferred Stock – Series B is not required to absorb any net loss. Although the Company paid a one-time special dividend in 2012, the Company does not expect to pay dividends on its common or preferred stock in the near future.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company reported a net loss and as a result, basic and diluted loss per common share are the same.

In calculating net loss per share amounts, all shares underlying the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share in both periods, because their effect was anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 that were not included in diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

Government Funding

The Company accounts for awards received from the U.S. Government for procurement of capital equipment after analysis of the terms of the underlying award contract, and in accordance with contract and equipment purchase milestones and accounting principles for grant accounting. For awards in which the Company will hold title to the underlying equipment, the Company initially records amounts invoiced to the U.S. Government for equipment progress payments on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Deferred Income – Government Awards – long term and Accounts Receivable – due from Government Awards. The Company records such progress payments made to capital equipment vendors in Property, plant and equipment. Amounts recorded in Deferred Income – Government Awards – long term are recognized as Other Income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations on a systematic basis as depreciation and other expenses are incurred over the useful life of the capital equipment.

10


Restricted Cash

The Company accounts for cash received pursuant to U.S. Government funding, that is legally restricted for procurement of capital equipment, as Restricted Cash on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Restricted Cash amounts are received from the U.S. Government in advance of progress payments required for various program related capital equipment purchases and are disbursed by the Company to related equipment vendors.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments and accounts payable are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The asset based lending facility, or the ABL Facility, is also stated at cost, which approximates fair value because the interest rate is based on a market based rate plus a margin.

The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities that are valued at fair value on a recurring basis into a three-level fair value hierarchy in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

Assets and liabilities recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value are categorized based on a hierarchy of inputs as follows:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets of identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The common stock warrant liability was the only financial asset or liability recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and was considered a Level 3 liability. The respective 2018 Warrants expired on January 29, 2023.

Concentrations

The Company purchases principally all of its silicon wafers, which are a key ingredient in its OLED production process, from two suppliers located in Taiwan and Korea.

For the three months, ended June 30, 2023, two customers of 15.96% and 10.93% accounted for over 10% of net revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, one customer of 10.11% accounted for over 10% of net revenues. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had accounts receivable from one of these customers that accounted for 9.6% of total accounts receivable, the other customer had no accounts receivable balance. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, one customer of 11.0% and a different customer of 12.5% accounted for over 10% of the Company’s net revenues, respectively.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As described in Note 2 - Merger, on May 17, 2023, the Company signed a Merger Agreement pursuant to which it will be acquired by Samsung Display, in a transaction expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023. As described in Note 6 – Debt, concurrently with the signing of the Merger Agreement the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Samsung Display that provides for two advances of up to $5 million each and a third advance of $3 million with an increase to $5 million upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $13.8 million, including approximately $7 million of investment banking, legal and other Merger related expenses and used cash in operating activities of $5.3 million. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $3.3 million of cash, no outstanding indebtedness under its ABL Facility and borrowing availability of $0.8 million under its ABL Facility. In June 2023, the Company received the first $5 million advance under the Loan and Security Agreement with Samsung Display. In August 2023, the Company received the second $5 million advance under the Loan and Security Agreement and is eligible to borrow the third installment of $3 to $5 million in January 2024.

11


The Company’s ABL Facility expires on December 31, 2023, and renews automatically for another year unless terminated pursuant to its terms. The ABL Facility agreement contains certain lenders remedies that give the bank the ability to impose discretionary reserves against our borrowing availability or terminate the facility upon events of default. Although our relationship with the lender is positive, there is no assurance the lender will renew or extend this facility or continue to make funds available during 2023 and beyond at present availability levels, or at all.

Should the merger with Samsung Display not occur the Company may not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due without additional financing or sources of capital. This is due to continuing losses, the Company’s financial position, and uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to borrow under its ABL Facility, or continue to raise funds under its ATM facility. Although demand for the Company’s products has remained steady, due to inflationary pressures the Company’s costs to obtain components and other materials has increased and ongoing equipment failures and lower than expected yields have resulted in higher material costs and delays in quarterly revenue. If these trends worsen or result in lost orders it could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Company has taken actions to increase revenues and to reduce expenses and is considering financing alternatives. The Company’s plans with regard to these matters include the following actions if the merger with Samsung Display is delayed beyond the fourth quarter of 2023 or does not close: 1) focus production and engineering resources on improving manufacturing yields and increasing production volumes, 2) continue the Work Status Reduction program that began in October 2019 for certain members of senior management pursuant to which their work status is reduced by approximately 20%, 3) continue to utilize government grants for purchase of capital equipment and funding manufacturing personnel, 4) reduce discretionary and other expenses, 5) seek to enter new markets, 6) sell shares under its At the Market or ATM equity facility entered into in November 2021, 7) consider additional financing and/or strategic alternatives, and 8) borrowings under its line of credit per the Samsung Display Merger agreement discussed in Note 6.

The Company is reassessing its business plans and forecasts over the next two years. Based on its known cash needs as of August 2023, and the anticipated availability of its ABL facility, the Company has developed plans to extend its liquidity to support its working capital requirements through the third quarter of 2024.

However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s plans will be achieved and the Company will be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due without obtaining additional financing or sources of capital. Therefore, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, and based on the Company’s current financial condition and availability of funds, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date these financial statements were issued.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

The Company's accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and subsequently issued amendments. The guidance affects the Company's accounts receivable, and it requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2023, on a prospective basis and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements but did change how the allowance for credit losses is determined.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. This guidance changes how entities account for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models for convertible instruments. This guidance also modifies the guidance on diluted earnings per share calculations. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2 – Merger

On May 17, 2023, the Company, agreed to be acquired by Samsung Display. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a subsidiary of Samsung Display. At the closing of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each holder of the Company’s common stock, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be entitled to receive $2.08 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (the “Per Share Merger Price”) for each share of common stock held by such holder, and each holder of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be entitled to the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of such holder’s preferred stock multiplied by the Per Share Merger Price.

At the Effective Time, all of the Company’s equity award programs will terminate. All equity awards with an exercise price below the Per Share Merger Price will immediately vest and the holders thereof will receive cash compensation for the in the money portion of their awards. All restricted stock unit awards, including those with performance conditions will be deemed to be fully earned and vest as of the Effective Time and holders thereof will receive cash compensation equal to the Per Share Merger Price for each share of common stock underlying such holders restricted stock unit awards.

The closing of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including approvals by the Company’s stockholders, the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and receipt of any other required governmental approvals or waivers thereof, including clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, and other customary conditions for a transaction of this type.

The Merger Agreement provides for certain termination rights for the Company and Samsung Display, including by mutual written consent and if the closing does not occur on or prior to May 17, 2024 (the "Outside Date"), provided that the Outside Date may be extended by either party for up to 90 days if, all closing conditions other than regulatory approval have been satisfied. Under terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company would be required to pay Samsung Display at termination fee of $9 million, if the Company entered into a transaction with another buyer, or if the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) changes its recommendation to shareholders to vote in favor of the transaction with Samsung Display.

Note 3 – Revenue Recognition

All of the Company’s revenues are earned from contracts with customers and are classified as either Product or Contract revenues. Contract revenues include R&D activities performed pursuant to written agreements and purchase orders, as well as arrangements that are implied by customary practices or law.

Product revenue is generated primarily from contracts to produce, ship and deliver OLED microdisplays. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, control of our products is transferred, and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when control transfers to our customer for product shipped. The Company’s customary terms are FOB our factory and control is deemed to transfer upon shipment. The Company has elected to treat shipping and other transportation costs charged to customers as fulfillment activities and are recorded in both revenue and cost of sales at the time control is transferred to the customer. As customers are invoiced at the time control transfers and the right to consideration is unconditional at that time, the Company does not maintain contract asset balances for product revenue. Additionally, the Company does not maintain contract liability balances for product revenues, as performance obligations are satisfied prior to customer payment for product. The Company generally offers a one year product warranty, for replacement of product only, and does not allow returns. The Company offers industry standard payment terms that typically require payment from our customers from 30 to 60 days after title transfers.

The Company also recognizes revenues under the over time method from certain research and development, or R&D, activities (contract revenues) under both firm fixed-price contracts and cost-type contracts. Progress and revenues from research and development activities relating to firm fixed-price contracts and cost-type contracts are generally recognized on an input method of accounting as costs are incurred. Under the input method, revenue is recognized based on efforts expended to date (e.g., the costs of resources consumed or labor hours worked, or machine hours used) relative to total efforts intended to be expended. Contract costs include all direct material, labor and subcontractor costs and an allocation of allowable indirect costs as defined by each contract, as periodically adjusted to reflect revised agreed upon rates. These rates are subject to audit by the other party. Any changes in estimate related to contract accounting are accounted for prospectively over the remaining life of the contract. Under the over time method, billings may not correlate directly to the revenue recognized. Based upon the terms of the specific contract, billings may be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in deferred revenues as a liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Likewise, revenue recognized may exceed customer billings in which case the amounts are reported as unbilled receivables. Unbilled revenues are expected to be billed and collected within one year.

13


Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

The incidental costs related to obtaining product sales contracts are non-recoverable from customer and, accordingly, are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes costs incurred to fulfill its R&D contracts that i) relate directly to a contract or anticipated contract, ii) are expected to satisfy the Company’s performance obligation under the contract, and iii) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contract. Contact fulfillment costs are expensed to cost of revenue as the related performance obligations are satisfied.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company sells products directly to military contractors and OEM’s who use the Company’s displays in a diverse range of applications encompassing the military and commercial, including medical and industrial, market sectors. Revenues are classified as either military, commercial, consumer or multiple based on management’s knowledge of the customer’s products and markets served by displays or the R&D contract work. Revenues classified as multiple are for sales to customers that incorporate the Company’s displays in products that could be used for either military or commercial applications. R&D activities are performed for both military customers and U.S. Government defense related agencies and consumer companies. Product and contract revenues are disclosed on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accounts Receivable from Customers

Accounts receivable, net of allowances, were $3.9 million and $7.0 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Unbilled Accounts Receivables (Contract Assets) - Pursuant to the over time revenue recognition model, revenue may be recognized prior to the customer being invoiced. Unbilled accounts receivable is recorded to reflect revenue that is recognized when the cost based input method is applied and such revenue exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer. Unbilled receivables are disclosed on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. With the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company considered the risk of credit loss related to its contract assets. Our analysis was performed by type of accounts receivable (commercial vs. government) and geographic location. We did not record an adjustment to retained earnings as this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated allowance for credit losses.

Customer Advances and Deposits (Contract Liabilities) - The Company recognizes a contract liability when it has billed and received consideration from the customer pursuant to the terms of a contract but has not yet recognized the related revenue. These billings in excess of revenue are classified as deferred revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company has elected the practical expedient, which allows disclosure of remaining performance obligations only for contracts with an original duration of greater than one year. Such remaining performance obligations primarily relate to engineering and design services. As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $1.2 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue on all of its remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months.

Note 4 – Accounts Receivable

Allowance for Credit Losses

Our provision for credit losses represents the periodic expense of maintaining an allowance sufficient to absorb lifetime expected credit losses in trade receivables. The evaluation of the allowance for credit losses is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that may be susceptible to significant changes. We believe the allowance for credit losses is appropriate to cover lifetime losses expected to be incurred in our trade receivables. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the allowance for doubtful accounts was determined based on a variety of factors, including the length of time receivables were past due, historical experience, the customer's current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. With the adoption of ASU 2016-13, we amended our loss model to include analysis of domestic and international political and economic conditions and future trends. Our analysis was performed by accounts receivable aging, type of accounts receivable and geographic location. We did not record an adjustment to retained earnings as this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated allowance for credit losses.

On December 21, 2016, the Company entered into the ABL Facility with a lender that provides for up to a maximum amount of $5 million based on a borrowing base equivalent to 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of $2 million or 50% of eligible inventory. The interest on the ABL Facility is equal to the Prime Rate plus 3% but may not be less than 6.5% with a minimum monthly interest payment of $2 thousand. The Company is also obligated to pay the lender a monthly administrative fee of $1 thousand and an annual facility fee equal to 1% of the maximum amount borrowable under the facility.

The ABL Facility renewed on December 31, 2022 and will automatically renew on December 31, 2023 for a one year term unless written notice to terminate the agreement is provided by either party. The ABL Facility agreement contains certain lenders remedies that upon events of default, give the bank the ability to terminate the facility before the scheduled maturity date. Accordingly, the Company classifies borrowing under the ABL Facility as current liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The ABL Facility is secured by a lien on all receivables, property and the proceeds thereof, credit insurance policies and other insurance relating to the collateral, books, records and other general intangibles, inventory and equipment, proceeds of the collateral and accounts, instruments, chattel paper, and documents. Collections received on accounts receivable are directly used to pay down the outstanding borrowings on the credit facility.

The ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The Company is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $13 million and a minimum working capital balance of $4 million at all times. As of June 30, 2023 the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility, had unused borrowing availability of $0.8 million under the ABL Facility and was in compliance with all financial debt covenants under the ABL Facility.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Company and Samsung Display entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 17, 2023. Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, Samsung Display agreed to provide a long term line of credit to the Company, including two advances to the Company of up to $5 million each, and a third advance to us of up to $3 million with an increase up to $5 million upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest under the Loan and Security Agreement is payable semi-annually on the advances at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (to be set on the first day of each semi-annual interest period), and is payable at the Company’s option either in cash or in kind by adding to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loan on each semi-annual interest payment date an amount equal to the amount of interest accrued and unpaid as of such date. In the event the Merger does not close, the loan balance, including any accrued by unpaid interest is payable upon the five year anniversary of the termination of the Merger Agreement. On June 15, 2023, the Company received the first advance of $5 million provided for under the Loan and Security Agreement.

16


The long term line of credit is subordinated to the ABL facility and secured by certain collateral, including a second lien on all receivables, inventory, fixed assets other general intangibles (but excluding all rights in intellectual property). The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and termination provisions.

Note 7 – Stock Compensation 

The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Stock-based compensation expense is reduced for estimated forfeitures and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method.

The fair value of Restricted Stock Units, or RSU’s is established by the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant and for time based grants, is amortized over the vesting period using the straight line method. Certain Performance-based RSUs are typically granted such that they vest upon the achievement of EBITDA targets, during a specified performance period, subject to the satisfaction of certain time-based service criteria. Certain Performance-based RSUs vest upon the achievement of operational milestones. Compensation expense from these awards is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s ordinary shares on the date of grant and is recognized over the remaining service period based on the probable outcome of achievement of the financial metrics used in the specific grant’s performance criteria. Management’s estimate of the number of shares expected to vest is based on the anticipated achievement of the specified non-market performance criteria, which are assessed at each reporting period.

The following table summarizes the allocation of non-cash stock-based compensation to our expense categories for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate is calculated quarterly based upon current assumptions relating to the full year’s estimated operating results and various tax-related items. The Company’s effective tax rate was 0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The difference between the effective tax rate of 0% and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% for three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was primarily due to recognizing a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

The Company determined that, based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, including the Company’s latest forecasts and cumulative losses in recent years, it was more likely than not that none of its deferred tax assets would be realized and therefore it continued to record a full valuation allowance as of June 30, 2023.

The Company’s 2017 and prior net operating loss carry-forward amounts expire through 2037 and are subject to certain limitations that may occur due to a change in the ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Pursuant to provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the net operating losses originating in years subsequent to 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely.

18


Due to the Company’s operating loss carry-forwards, all tax years remain open to examination to the extent of the operating loss carry-forward by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. In the event that the Company is assessed interest or penalties at some point in the future, it will be classified in the financial statements as tax expense.

On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed the CARES Act. The CARES Act provides several provisions that effect businesses from an income tax perspective. Due to the history of the tax losses, most of the CARES Act provisions have no current benefit to the Company. The Company can, however, benefit from one provision, which allows for the immediate refund of the Alternative Minimum Tax Credit, or AMT Credit, previously recognized as deferred tax asset. The Company has filed an amendment to claim the AMT Credit and received the refund of $232 thousand on August 2, 2023. This tax receivable is reflected in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 9  Commitments and Contingencies 

Equipment Purchase Commitments 

The Company has committed to equipment purchases of approximately $7.7 million at June 30, 2023, of which $7.5 million relates to equipment to be purchased under government awards.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become subject to various legal proceedings that are incidental to the ordinary conduct of our business. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject from time to time to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, or claims. The Company investigates these claims as they arise. Although claims are inherently unpredictable, the Company is currently not aware of any matters that, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or taken together, have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, three complaints have been filed by purported stockholders of the Company and the Board as individual actions in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Oppenhuizen v. eMagin Corporation, et. al., Civil Action No. 1:23-5360 (filed June 23, 2023), Berkland v. eMagin Corporation, et. al., Civil Action No. 1:23-cv-5551 (filed June 28, 2023), and O’Dell v. eMagin Corporation, et. al., Civil Action No. 1:23-cv-5621 (filed June 30, 2023) (collectively, the “Exchange Act Complaints”). The Exchange Act Complaints allege that the defendants filed or caused to be filed a materially incomplete and misleading preliminary proxy statement with the SEC and assert claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

In addition, on June 26, 2023, June 27, 2023, June 29, 2023 and July 5, 2023, the Company received demand letters from six purported stockholders of the Company alleging that the preliminary proxy statement relating to the Merger omits purportedly material information. On June 26, 2023, the Company received a demand made by a purported stockholder of the Company pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law seeking certain books and records of the Merger and related matters (collectively, the “Demand Letters”).

While the Company believes that the disclosures set forth in the preliminary proxy statement comply fully with all applicable law and denies the allegations in the pending Exchange Act Complaint and Demand Letters described above, in order to moot plaintiffs’ disclosure claims, avoid nuisance and possible expense and business delays, and provide additional information to its stockholders, the Company made certain disclosures that supplement and revise those contained in the definitive proxy statement relating to the Merger (the "Supplemental Disclosures"). These Supplemental Disclosures were filed with the SEC under Schedule 14A. Nothing in the Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal merit, necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth therein. To the contrary, the Company specifically denies all allegations in the Exchange Act Complaint and Demand Letters described above that any additional disclosure was or is required or material. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the Exchange Act Complaint and Demand Letters. The Company believes that the Exchange Act Complaint and Demand Letters are without merit, and the Company and the individual defendants intend to vigorously defend against the Exchange Act Complaint and Demand Letters and any subsequently filed similar actions. If additional similar complaints are filed or demand letters are received, absent new or significantly different allegations, the Company will not necessarily disclose such additional filings.

In addition to the Exchange Act Complaints and the Demand Letters, on July 14, 2023, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action complaint against the Company, the Board, Samsung Display, Silk USA, and Merger Sub in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Heckerman v. Wittels, et al. (Case No. 2023-0716). The Heckerman Complaint alleges, on behalf of a putative class of the Company’s stockholders, among other things, claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the Board with respect to the inclusion of certain termination provisions in the Merger Agreement and with respect to the process leading up to the Merger, and claims for aiding and abetting such alleged breaches of fiduciary duty against Samsung Display. The Heckerman Complaint seeks, among other

19


things, an injunction enjoining the consummation of the Merger or the enforcement of certain provisions of the Merger Agreement, or, in the event the Merger is consummated, to recover damages resulting from defendants’ alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and/or aiding and abetting of breaches of fiduciary duty. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the Heckerman Action. The Company believes that the Heckerman Action is without merit, and the Company and the individual defendants intend to vigorously defend against the Heckerman Action.

Note 10  Warrants

The Company accounts for common stock warrants pursuant to applicable accounting guidance contained in ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity" and makes a determination as to their treatment as either equity instruments or a warrant liability based on an analysis of the underlying warrant agreements.

The following table sets forth the Company’s outstanding common stock warrants as of June 30, 2023:

Oct 2024

(1)Private Placement unregistered warrants exercisable six months following issuance.

Equity classified warrants

The 2019 warrants were issued in a private placement concurrent with an offering of shares of Company Common Stock, and the exercise price of the Warrant Shares are subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividends and splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations or similar transactions. The Warrants will be exercisable on a “cashless” basis in certain circumstances, including in the event a registration statement is not in effect at time of exercise. The warrant agreements contain a clause specifying that in the event there is no effective registration in effect for the underlying warrant shares to be issued at time of exercise, in no circumstance will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants.

Based on the Company’s analysis of the terms and conditions of the warrants, the Company has concluded that they meet the conditions outlined in applicable accounting guidance to be classified as equity instruments.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 971,911 warrants and 1,052,509 warrants, respectively, were exercised on a cashless basis in exchange for 653,100 shares and 703,100 shares, respectively of the Company’s common stock.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no warrant exercises.

Liability classified warrants

Certain warrants issued in 2017 and in 2018 warrants had alternative settlement provisions that, at the option of the holder, provide for physical settlement or if, at the time of settlement there is no effective registration statement, a cashless exercise as defined in the warrant agreement.

Based on analysis of the underlying warrant agreement and applicable accounting guidance, the Company concluded that these registered warrants require the issuance of registered securities upon exercise and do not sufficiently preclude an implied right to net cash settlement. Accordingly, these warrants were classified in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a current liability upon issuance and were revalued at each subsequent balance sheet date.

The warrants issued in 2017, expired May 2022, and the warrants issued in 2018 expired January 2023.

The fair value of the liability for common stock purchase warrants was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the market value of the underlying common stock at the measurement date, the contractual term of the warrant, risk-free interest rates, expected dividends and expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock.

Based on the Black Scholes method the fair value of the Company’s warrants are as follows (in thousands):

Note 11  Leases

The Company leases office and manufacturing facilities in Hopewell Junction, New York under a non-cancelable lease agreement, which, as amended, expires in 2031, and includes two, five year options to extend. The lease agreement did not contain any residual value guarantees, or material restrictive covenants. Upon signing a 12th amendment in November 2020, the Company reassessed the lease from operating to a finance lease.

The Company also leases an office facility for its design group in Santa Clara, California. In October 2021, the Company signed an additional two year extension of the lease for the Santa Clara design group facility, and has classified this as an operating lease. The lease agreement did not contain any residual value guarantees, material restrictive covenants or a renewal option and was classified as an operating lease. On May 2, 2019, the Company entered into a three year finance lease commitment for phone equipment, which expired in June 2022.

The Company's leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring lease liabilities. The Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on a yield curve analysis, utilizing the interest rate derived from the fair value analysis of the Company’s credit facility and adjusting it for factors that appropriately reflect the profile of secured borrowing over the expected term of the lease.

Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity

Equity Raises

On November 18, 2021, the Company entered into an ATM offering agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, or Wainwright, relating to sales of shares of its common stock under an ATM facility. On November 18, 2021, the Company also filed a prospectus supplement to allow the sale of shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $10.0 million under the ATM facility.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company raised $1.2 million, net of offering expenses, through the sale of shares under the ATM facility. The Company used and intends to use the net proceeds from sales made under the ATM facility for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Note 13 – Government Funding

On July 28, 2020, the Company announced that it had been awarded a $33.6 million contract over the next 33 months from the U.S. Department of Defense, or the DoD, to sustain and enhance U.S. domestic capability for high resolution, high brightness OLED microdisplays that will be based on the Company’s proprietary direct patterning technology dPd. This investment is in addition to the $5.5 million award announced on June 11, 2020, under the U.S. Department of Defense Industrial Base Analysis, or IBAS, Program for OLED Supply Chain Assurance and will be used to increase capacity and sustain operations at the Company’s Hopewell Junction, New York, headquarters. These funds will be used to procure key equipment and tooling, and reimburse the Company for certain labor and material costs, which the Company believes will improve all aspects of its OLED microdisplay production, including increased throughput and capacity.

Pursuant to the preliminary Technology Investment Agreement the U.S. government provided when the award was announced, the Company expects that the U.S. government will own the related equipment purchases until the end of the 33 month contract period, at which point the Company can apply to take title. The Company began making payments to related equipment vendors during the fourth quarter of 2020. For accounting purposes, the Company considers that it is probable that title will pass to the Company and accordingly will treat this award in a similar fashion as the IBAS award.

The Company recognizes the government awards as deferred income – government awards as program milestones are invoiced, and will recognize other income as depreciation and other expenditures are incurred over the useful life of the capital equipment. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has received $33.9 million in total, for initial deposits required by capital equipment vendors. Amounts received, pending payment of deposits to vendors as of June 30, 2023, of $0.4 million are reflected in restricted cash on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts due from the U.S. DoD pursuant to invoices for capital equipment are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as accounts receivable – due from government awards. The total amount invoiced on these programs of $33.9 million is reflected less depreciation in deferred revenue government awards – long term, and other current liabilities. Additional amounts remaining under the awards will be recorded in a similar fashion and will coincide with the progress payments required under the various capital equipment purchase terms. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized deferred income related to certain overhead expenses, not capitalized, of $58 thousand.

The terms of various government agreements provide among other items that the Company must achieve certain yield targets, give priority to military orders and continue to maintain the productive capacity of equipment purchased for up to five years past the completion of the programs.

22


Note 14 – Subsequent Events

On August 1, 2023, the Company received the second advance of $5 million provided for under the loan and security agreement with Samsung Display, as described in Note 6 – Debt. Additionally, on August 2, 2023 the Company received the refund of $232 thousand for the AMT credit, as described in Note 8 – Income Taxes.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto. Our fiscal year ends December 31. This Report contains certain forward-looking statements including, among others, anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations and our business strategy. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include changes in external factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations, unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements, changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the industries in which we operate, and various competitive market factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace. Forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this Report. Please see "Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information" and the sections titled “Risk Factors” included in this Report, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 10, 2023, or 2022 Form 10-K, and in our other filings with the SEC.

Business

We design, develop, manufacture and market organic light emitting diode, or OLED, miniature displays, which we refer to as OLED-on-silicon microdisplays, virtual imaging products that utilize OLED microdisplays, and related products. We also perform research in the OLED field. Our virtual imaging products integrate OLED technology with silicon chips to produce high-resolution microdisplays which, when viewed through a magnifying headset, create virtual images that appear comparable in size to that of a computer monitor or a large‑screen television. Our products enable our original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, customers in the military and commercial markets to develop and market improved or new electronic products which enable the visualization of digital information and imagery.

We believe that our OLED microdisplays offer a number of significant advantages over comparable liquid crystal microdisplays, including higher contrast, greater power efficiency, less weight, more compact size, and negligible image smearing. Using our active matrix OLED technology, many computer and electronic system functions can be built directly into the OLED microdisplays silicon backplane, resulting in compact, high resolution and power efficient systems. Already proven in military and commercial systems, our product portfolio of OLED microdisplays deliver high‑resolution, virtual images that perform effectively even in extreme temperatures and high‑vibration conditions.

During the second quarter of 2023 our total revenue was $5.0 million, as compared to $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to second quarter 2023 display revenues of $4.9 million which were down 31% year over year. Our quarterly display revenue gross margin was (11)% compared to the prior year’s second quarter of 21%. The gross margin decline was primarily due to production downtime, lower than expected yields, and excess wafer scrap, which resulted in a lower volume of displays produced and shipped, and higher average product costs. As of the end of the second quarter, our sales backlog of orders shippable in one year remained strong at $17.5 million, reflecting demand for our displays for use in thermal weapon sights, military night vision goggles, and medical applications.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2023, including R&D expenses, were $10.7 million, compared with $3.4 million in the prior-year period reflecting an increase in investment banking, legal, accounting and other professional fees incurred in conjunction with the Merger. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 215% in the second quarter of 2023, with 47% in the prior-year period.

We have been deemed to be an essential business in the State of New York and have continued to produce and ship products during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have implemented employee health and safety measures per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, guidelines, and monitor, federal, state and local governmental regulations to respond to the latest health and safety guidelines. We have experienced disruptions in supply, had several employees test positive for the COVID-19 virus and had to close our facilities for cleaning purposes. There is no assurance that our operations will not be disrupted in the future by additional impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, its variants, or other resurgences of the virus, on either our internal operations or those of our suppliers or customers, including the possible impact of disruptions in the supply of silicon wafers or other raw materials that could harm our ability to meet demand for our products in a timely manner, or within budget.

We received a validation of our products and technology during fiscal 2020 from the U.S. government. In 2020, we received two U.S. Department of Defense, or DoD, awards totaling $39.1 million. We believe we are the only commercial U.S. manufacturer of OLED microdisplays and our displays are used in many U.S. Military programs.

We have committed the funds and ordered all equipment to be purchased under these programs, including an advanced, production capable dPd organic deposition tool that is expected to improve yield and throughput of this innovative technology for the benefit of our AR/VR customers. As of June 30, 2023, we had taken delivery of eighteen pieces of production equipment and received $33.9 million

24


of the total $39.1 million in government granted awards for initial deposits required by capital equipment vendors. We remain on track and within requirements of the U.S. Defense Production Act Title III and IBAS funding grants. The new equipment will help us increase capacity and yield for all display types, address critical productions points, and replace certain older equipment, which we expect will aid us in meeting expected demand for our microdisplays. In April 2023, the period of performance under the IBAS program was extended through September 30, 2023 in recognition of global supply chain challenges.

We are continually making improvements in production processes; however, until we are able to fully operationalize the equipment we acquired as a result of the $39.1 million in government grants we were awarded in 2020, much of our equipment remains older, and malfunctions in single point of failure equipment have the potential to delay our production until repairs can be made. We experienced some equipment issues in 2021 and 2023 that impacted revenues. Equipment purchased and placed in service, under our government awards programs is expected to reduce our single point of failure risk and improve manufacturing yields and throughput. As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our throughput, yield, and quality practices, we are working with an industrial engineering firm to develop an operations excellence strategy. In September 2022, we obtained the AS9100 quality certification. AS9100 is an internationally recognized quality management system standard specific to the aerospace, aviation, and defense industries. The standard is widely supported and adhered to by major aerospace OEMs and is increasingly required by vendors within the supply chain.

We believe that our U.S.-based design and manufacturing, combined with in-house advanced backplane design, and our dPd technology give us a competitive advantage. Our direct patterning equipment is operational. We have fabricated full color displays using the newly upgraded and installed dPd tool during 2021 including our 4kX4k and WUXGA displays. In July 2021, using our dPd technology we created full color WUXGA displays with a brightness of over 10,000 cd/m2 and exhibited these displays to industry analysts in October 2021. During 2023 as a result of enhancements made to our R&D chamber, we have produced several dPd displays approaching the 15,000 cd/m2 luminance levels. We continue our development work for a tier one consumer customer and are targeting similar levels of brightness on proof-of-concept displays using our full color dPd process.

Consumer, commercial (in which we include the medical and industrial sectors), and military customers are increasingly turning to us because of our technological leadership in display brightness and resolution. This leadership in brightness is further demonstrated by our proprietary dPd capability. Unlike traditional OLEDs that produce colors by using a white source with filters that eliminate about 80% of the emitted light, with dPd, we make full color displays by directly depositing each of the primary color materials on respective sub-pixels, without the use of filters. In July 2021, we achieved full color brightness levels of over 10,000 cd/m2, and in April 2023 have produced prototype displays with our enhanced R&D tool approaching 15,000 cd/m2 and expect to achieve a brightness level of over 22,000 cd/m2 ready for mass production of full color displays by 2024. We achieved the highest monochrome brightness levels in the market years ago and are continuing our leadership with color displays. Display brightness is critical for AR/VR devices because of optics inefficiency and the need to eliminate motion artifacts. This is especially important for heads up displays used in bright, daylight environments. Our high resolution and low pixel pitch are also important to eliminate the “screen door” effect that comes with expanding lower resolution displays over wide fields of view.

Merger Agreement with Samsung Display Co. Ltd.

On May 17, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or Merger Agreement, with Samsung Display Co., Ltd., a Korean corporation, or Samsung Display, Emerald Intermediate, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Samsung Display, or Silk USA, and Emerald Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Silk USA, or Merger Sub. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation, which we refer to herein as the Merger. At the closing of the Merger, or the Effective Time, each holder of the our common stock, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be entitled to receive $2.08 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, which we refer to as the Per Share Merger Price, for each share of common stock held by such holder, and each holder of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be entitled to the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of such holder’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock multiplied by the Per Share Merger Price.

At the Effective Time, all of our equity award programs will terminate. All equity awards with an exercise price below the Per Share Merger Price will immediately vest and the holders thereof will receive cash compensation for the in the money portion of their awards. All restricted stock unit awards, including those with performance conditions will be deemed to be fully earned and vest as of the Effective Time and holders thereof will receive cash compensation equal to the Per Share Merger Price for each share of common stock underlying such holders restricted sock unit awards.

The closing of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including approvals by our stockholders, the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and receipt of any other required governmental approvals or waivers thereof, including clearance from the Committee on Foreign

25


Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, and other customary conditions for a transaction of this type.

The Merger Agreement provides for certain termination rights for us and Samsung Display, including by mutual written consent and if the closing does not occur on or prior to May 17, 2024, or the Outside Date, provided that the Outside Date may be extended by either party for up to 90 days if, all closing conditions other than regulatory approval have been satisfied. Under terms of the Merger Agreement, we would be required to pay Samsung Display at termination fee of $9 million if we entered into a transaction with another buyer, or if our board of directors changes its recommendation to shareholders to vote in favor of the transaction with Samsung Display.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, we and Samsung Display entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, dated on May 17, 2023. Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, Samsung Display agreed to provide a long term line of credit to us, including two advances to us of up to $5 million each, and a third advance to us of up to $3 million with an increase to up to $5 million upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest under the Loan and Security Agreement is payable semi-annually on the advances at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (to be set on the first day of each semi-annual interest period), and is payable at our option either in cash or in kind by adding to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loan on each semi-annual interest payment date an amount equal to the amount of interest accrued and unpaid as of such date. In the event the Merger does not close, the loan balance, including any accrued by unpaid interest is payable upon the five year anniversary of the termination of the Merger Agreement. On June 15, 2023 and August 1, 2023, the Company received the first and second advances, respectively, of $5 million each, as provided for under the Loan and Security Agreement.

The long-term line of credit is subordinated to our ABL facility and secured by certain collateral, including a second lien on all receivables, property and the proceeds thereof, credit insurance policies and other insurance relating to the collateral, books, records and other general intangibles, inventory and equipment, proceeds of the collateral and accounts, instruments, chattel paper, and documents (but excluding all rights in intellectual property). The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and termination provisions.

Total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $5.0 million and $11.6 million, respectively, as compared to revenues of $7.2 million and $14.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Product revenue is comprised primarily of sales of displays as well as sales of other hardware. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 product revenue decreased by $2.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively, primarily due to late deliveries resulting from unplanned equipment downtime.

Contract revenue primarily reflected development associated with a high brightness display design for the Department of Defense and a proof of concept display for a tier one consumer company. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 contract revenue decreased by $0.1 million and $0.2 million, as compared to the prior period, reflecting the timing of phases and milestones of these contracts. We are continuing to work on the high brightness display design and our proof of concept for this consumer customer and expect ongoing

26


contract revenue under these programs. Contract revenues are based on accomplishing specific milestones and are not uniformly distributed throughout the project duration.

Total cost of revenues is comprised of costs of product and contract revenues. Cost of product revenue includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead, warranty costs and depreciation related to our products. Cost of contract revenue includes direct and allocated indirect costs associated with performance on the contracts, primarily engineering resources and materials. Total cost of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by $0.1 million and increased by $0.1 million, respectively, from the comparable prior year period.

Product cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023, were comparable to the prior year period. Product cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023, increased from the prior year period, primarily due to lower production volumes due to unplanned equipment downtime, lower yields, and a resultant increase in average display cost.

Contract cost of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were comparable to the prior year period.

The following table outlines product and contract gross (loss) profit and related gross margins for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in thousands):

Total gross profit is a function of revenues less cost of revenues. Gross loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 of $(0.5) million decreased $2.1 million, from the comparable prior year period reflecting decreased product and contract revenues. Total gross margin was (10)% and 8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 22% and 28% for the comparable 2022 period.

The product gross (loss) profit of $(0.5) million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased from $1.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively, in the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to unexpected equipment downtime, which resulted in a lower volume of displays produced, lower shipments, lower yields and higher average product costs resulting from factory overhead costs being allocated across a reduced quantity of finished and work in process displays.

Contract gross margin is dependent upon the mix of internal labor costs versus external third-party costs and materials, with the external third-party costs and materials causing a lower gross margin and reducing the contract gross profit. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, contract revenue gross profit was $35 thousand and $0.1 million, compared to $0.1 million and $0.3 million, for the prior year period. The decrease in contract gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 versus the prior year period is primarily due to decreased contract revenues.

Research and Development Expense

R&D expenses are Company funded and are primarily compromised of salaries and related benefits, development materials and other costs specifically allocated to the development of new technologies, microdisplay products, OLED technologies and production processes. R&D related costs associated with fulfilling contracts are categorized as contract cost of revenues. R&D expense was $1.6 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.5 million and $2.9 million, in the prior year period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, professional services fees, as well as other marketing, general corporate and administrative expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 of $7.1 million and $7.8 million reflects an increase in investment banking, legal, accounting and other professional fees incurred in conjunction with the Merger, and changes in non-cash stock compensation.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense), net consists of changes in the fair value of warrant liability as well as interest income earned on cash balances. There was no other income related to the change in fair value of warrant liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to other income of $0.2 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. This non-cash income recorded in 2022 was associated with changes in the liability related to registered warrants issued in January 2018. In periods before the expiration of these warrants in January 2023, we were required to revalue warrants classified on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a liability at the end of each reporting period and reflect a gain or loss from the change in fair value in the period in which the change occurred. 

Other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, includes $250 thousand and $369 thousand, respectively, in deferred income related to assets provided under government grant programs and the related reimbursement of labor overhead charges incurred under these grant programs. Pursuant to our accounting policy, we reduce the deferred income – government awards liability to recognize income associated with these grants over depreciable lives of the assets purchased with the awards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had $3.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, working capital of $10.6 million, borrowing availability under the ABL Facility of $0.8 million and $5.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the long term line of credit issued pursuant to our Loan and Security Agreement with Samsung Display. We had $4.3 million in cash, working capital of $17.0 million and borrowings outstanding and borrowing availability under the ABL Facility of $1.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022.

On July 28, 2020, we announced that we had been awarded a $33.6 million contract over the following 33 months from the DoD to sustain and enhance U.S. domestic capability for high resolution, high brightness OLED microdisplays that will be based on our proprietary direct dPd technology. This investment is in addition to the $5.5 million award announced on June 11, 2020, under the IBAS Program for OLED Supply Chain Assurance. We have used and expect to continue to use the investment to increase capacity and sustain operations at our Hopewell Junction, New York headquarters. In August 2020, these funds began to be released to us and will continue to be released over the life of the programs in accordance with the down payment and progress payment schedules of the various capital equipment vendors.

We have committed the funds and ordered all equipment to be purchased under these programs, including a production capable dPd organic deposition tool that is expected to improve yield and throughput of this innovative technology for the benefit of our AR/VR

28


customers. As of June 30, 2023, we had taken delivery of eighteen pieces of production equipment and received $33.9 million of the total $39.1 million in government granted awards for initial deposits required by capital equipment vendors. Overall, we remain on track and within requirements of the U.S. Defense Production Act Title III and IBAS funding grants.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 cash used in operating activities were $5.3 million which was attributable to a net loss of $13.8 million offset by cash used by operating assets and liabilities of $6.3 million and non-cash income and expenses of $2.1 million. Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.8 million.

For the six months, ended June 30, 2023 cash used in investing activities was $4.9 million related to equipment purchases primarily to improve manufacturing yields and production capacity and to advance our dPd technology including grant proceeds for capital expenditures of $4.2 million.

As of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding commitments to purchase approximately $0.2 million in capital expenditures, and expect to make additional capital expenditures during 2023 to improve our manufacturing and R&D capabilities. These commitments exclude $7.5 million expected to be purchased and funded by the DoD, as described above. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $8.5 million for equipment purchases.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash provided by financing activities of $9.2 million, includes borrowings under a line of credit of $5.0 million, proceeds from government grants of $4.3 million, and public offering (ATM) proceeds of $1.2 million offset by net repayments of $1.0 million under our ABL Facility, change in finance lease liabilities of $0.1 million, payments in withholding taxes on vested RSUs of $0.1 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $29 thousand. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $8.7 million.

Going concern

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will continue to operate as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As described in Note 2 - Merger, on May 17, 2023, the Company signed a Merger Agreement pursuant to which it will be acquired by Samsung Display, in a transaction expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023. As described in Note 6 – Debt, concurrently with the signing of the Merger Agreement the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Samsung Display that provides for two advances of up to $5 million each and a third advance of $3 million with an increase to $5 million upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, a net loss of $13.8 million, including approximately $7 million of investment banking, legal and other Merger related expenses and cash used in operating activities of $5.3 million. As of June 30, 2023, we had $3.3 million of cash, no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility and borrowing availability of $0.8 million under our ABL Facility. In June 2023, the Company received the first $5 million advance under the Loan and Security Agreement with Samsung Display. In August 2023, the Company received the second $5 million advance under the Loan and Security Agreement and is eligible to borrow the third installment of $3 to $5 million in January 2024.

Our ABL Facility expires on December 31, 2023, and renews automatically for another year unless terminated pursuant to its terms. The ABL Facility agreement contains certain lenders remedies that give the bank the ability to impose discretionary reserves against our borrowing availability or terminate the facility upon events of default. Although our relationship with the lender is positive, there is no assurance the lender will renew or extend this facility or continue to make funds available during 2023 and beyond at present availability levels, or at all.

Should the merger with Samsung Display not occur the Company may not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due without additional financing or sources of capital. This is due to continuing losses, our financial position, and uncertainty regarding our ability to borrow under our ABL Facility, or continue to raise funds under our ATM facility. Although demand for our products has remained steady, due to inflationary pressures our costs to obtain components and other materials has increased and ongoing equipment failures and lower than expected yields have resulted higher material costs and delays in quarterly revenue. If these trends worsen or result in lost orders it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Management is prepared to reduce expenses and raise additional capital, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in sufficiently reducing expenses or raising capital to meet our operating needs.

We have taken actions to increase revenues and to reduce expenses and are considering financing alternatives. Our plans with regard to these matters include the following actions if the merger with Samsung Display is delayed beyond the fourth quarter of 2023 or does not close: 1) focus production and engineering resources on improving manufacturing yields and increasing production volumes, 2) continue the Work Status Reduction program that began in October 2019 for certain members of senior management pursuant to which

29


their work status is reduced by approximately 20%, 3) continue to utilize government grants for purchase of capital equipment and funding manufacturing personnel, 4) reduce discretionary and other expenses, 5) seek to enter new markets, 6) sale of common shares under our At the Market, or ATM, equity facility entered into in November 2021, 7) consider additional financing and/or strategic alternatives, and 8) borrowings under its line of credit per the Samsung Display Merger agreement discussed in Note 6.

We are reassessing our business plans and forecasts over the next two years. Based on our known cash needs as of August 2023, our latest forecast of revenues and expenses, and the anticipated availability of our ABL facility, we have developed plans to extend our liquidity to support working capital requirements through the third quarter of 2024 and beyond.

However, there can be no assurance our plans will be achieved and we will be able to meet our financial obligations as they become due without obtaining additional financing or sources of capital. Therefore, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, and based on our current financial condition and availability of funds, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date these financial statements were issued.

In addition, even if we successfully generate additional funds through the sale of additional equity securities, borrowings or alternative financing, there can be no assurances that the revenue or capital infusion will be sufficient to enable us to develop our business to a level where it will be profitable or generate positive cash flow. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders could be significantly diluted, and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If we incur additional debt, a substantial portion of its operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our operational business activities. The terms of any debt securities issued could also impose significant restrictions on our operations. In addition, broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of its operating performance, and may adversely impact its ability to raise additional funds.

Equity Raises

On November 18, 2021, we entered into an ATM offering agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, or Wainwright, relating to sales of shares of our common stock under an ATM facility. On November 18, 2021, we also filed a prospectus supplement to allow the sale of shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $10.0 million under the ATM facility.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we raised $1.2 million through the sale of shares under the ATM facility. We used and intend to use the net proceeds from sales made under the ATM facility for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We had approximately $2.4 million of potential sales remaining under the ATM facility, gross of offering expenses as of June 30, 2023.

ABL Facility

On December 21, 2016, we entered into an asset based revolving credit facility with a lender that provides for up to a maximum amount of $5 million based on a borrowing base equivalent of 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of $2 million or 50% of eligible inventory. The interest on the ABL Facility is equal to the Prime Rate plus 3% but may not be less than 6.5% with a minimum monthly interest payment of $2,000. We are obligated to pay the lender a monthly administrative fee of $1,000 and an annual facility fee equal to 1% of the maximum amount borrowable under the facility.

Our ABL Facility expires on December 31, 2023 and renews automatically for another year unless terminated pursuant to its terms. Our ABL Facility agreement contains certain lenders remedies that give the bank the ability to impose discretionary reserves against our borrowing availability or terminate the facility upon events of default.

The ABL Facility is secured by a lien on all receivables, property and the proceeds thereof, credit insurance policies and other insurance relating to the collateral, books, records and other general intangibles, inventory and equipment, proceeds of the collateral and accounts, instruments, chattel paper, and documents. The ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including a provision that we maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $13 million and a minimum working capital balance of $4 million. As of June 30, 2023, we had no borrowings, had unused borrowing availability of $0.8 million and were in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

Loan and Security Agreement

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Samsung Display and we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, dated on May 17, 2023. Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, Samsung Display agreed to provide a long-term line of credit to us, including two advances to us of up to $5 million each, and a third advance to us of up to $3 million with an increase to up to $5 million upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest under the Loan and Security Agreement is payable semi-annually on

30


the advances at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (to be set on the first day of each semi-annual interest period), and is payable at our option either in cash or in kind by adding to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loan on each semi-annual interest payment date an amount equal to the amount of interest accrued and unpaid as of such date. In the event the Merger does not close, the loan balance, including any accrued by unpaid interest is payable upon the five year anniversary of the termination of the Merger Agreement. On June 15, 2023 and August 1, 2023, the Company received the first and second advances, respectively, of $5 million each, as provided for under the Loan and Security Agreement.

The long term line of credit is subordinated to our ABL facility and secured by certain collateral, including a second lien on all receivables, property and the proceeds thereof, credit insurance policies and other insurance relating to the collateral, books, records and other general intangibles, inventory and equipment, proceeds of the collateral and accounts, instruments, chattel paper, and documents (but excluding all rights in intellectual property). The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and termination provisions.

ITEM 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

Not applicable.

ITEM 4.   Controls and Procedures 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the principal executive and principal financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the year-ended December 31, 2022, that was disclosed in the our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. Management did not identify a material misstatement within its financial statements in this or any previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K as a result of the material weakness.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Remediation Steps to Address the Material Weakness

As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2022, we commenced a remediation plan with the goal of remediating this material weakness as soon as possible. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the conclusion by management that the enhanced internal control over financial reporting is operating effectively following appropriate testing, although the Company cannot estimate when the remediation will be completed. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to our financial statements, including through enhanced analyses by our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. Management plans to document key controls over earnings per share calculations and modify existing controls as necessary to ensure they operate at a sufficient level of precision.

During the remediation of the above material weakness, the Company may decide to modify other internal controls to further strengthen its overall internal control environment.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except with respect to the remediation efforts described above, during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become subject to various legal proceedings that are incidental to the ordinary conduct of our business. In the ordinary course of business, we may be subject from time to time to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, or claims. We investigate these claims as they arise. Although claims are inherently unpredictable, we are currently not aware of any matters that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, three complaints, which we refer to as the Exchange Act Complaints, have been filed by purported stockholders of our Company and the Board as individual actions in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Oppenhuizen v. eMagin Corporation, et. al., Civil Action No. 1:23-5360 (filed June 23, 2023), Berkland v. eMagin Corporation, et. al., Civil Action No. 1:23-cv-5551 (filed June 28, 2023), and O’Dell v. eMagin Corporation, et. al., Civil Action No. 1:23-cv-5621 (filed June 30, 2023). The Exchange Act Complaints allege that the defendants filed or caused to be filed a materially incomplete and misleading preliminary proxy statement with the SEC and assert claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

In addition, on June 26, 2023, June 27, 2023, June 29, 2023 and July 5, 2023, we received demand letters from six purported stockholders of our Company alleging that the preliminary proxy statement relating to the Merger omits purportedly material information. On June 26, 2023, we received a demand made by a purported stockholder of our Company pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law seeking certain books and records of the Merger and related matters, which, collectively with the aforementioned six demand letters, we refer to herein as the Demand Letters.

While we believe that the disclosures set forth in the preliminary proxy statement comply fully with all applicable law and deny the allegations in the pending Exchange Act Complaint and Demand Letters described above, in order to moot plaintiffs’ disclosure claims, avoid nuisance and possible expense and business delays, and provide additional information to its stockholders, we made certain disclosures that supplement and revise those contained in the definitive proxy statement relating to the Merger (the "Supplemental Disclosures"). These Supplemental Disclosures were filed with the SEC under Schedule 14A. Nothing in the Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal merit, necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth therein. To the contrary, we specifically deny all allegations in the Exchange Act Complaint and Demand Letters described above that any additional disclosure was or is required or material. We cannot predict the outcome of the Exchange Act Complaint and Demand Letters. We believe that the Exchange Act Complaint and Demand Letters are without merit, and we and the individual defendants intend to vigorously defend against the Exchange Act Complaint and Demand Letters and any subsequently filed similar actions. If additional similar complaints are filed or demand letters are received, absent new or significantly different allegations, we will not necessarily disclose such additional filings.

In addition to the Exchange Act Complaints and the Demand Letters, on July 14, 2023, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action complaint against us, the Board, Samsung Display, Silk USA, and Merger Sub in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Heckerman v. Wittels, et al. (Case No. 2023-0716), which we refer to herein as the Heckerman Complaint. The Heckerman Complaint alleges, on behalf of a putative class of our stockholders, among other things, claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the Board with respect to the inclusion of certain termination provisions in the Merger Agreement and with respect to the process leading up to the Merger, and claims for aiding and abetting such alleged breaches of fiduciary duty against Samsung Display. The Heckerman Complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction enjoining the consummation of the Merger or the enforcement of certain provisions of the Merger Agreement, or, in the event, the Merger is consummated, to recover damages resulting from defendants’ alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and/or aiding and abetting of breaches of fiduciary duty. We cannot predict the outcome of the Heckerman Action. We believe that the Heckerman Action is without merit, and we and the individual defendants intend to vigorously defend against the Heckerman Action.

ITEM 1A.   Risk Factors

 

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” included in this Report, in our 2022 Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC. In addition, refer to our discussion in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and other sections of this report, which address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, inflationary factors and our ability to continue as a going concern. The COVID-19 pandemic can also exacerbate other risks discussed in the “Risk Factors” sections of this Report, our 2022 Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on us. The “Risk Factors” section in our 2022 Form 10-K otherwise remains current in all material respects. The risks discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in our 2022 Form 10-K do not identify all risks that we face. Our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Risks Related to the Merger

The Merger Agreement and the pendency of the Merger could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

On May 17, 2023, the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Samsung Display Co., Ltd., a Korean corporation (“Samsung Display”), Emerald Intermediate, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Samsung Display (“Silk USA”), and Emerald Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Silk USA (“Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (“the Merger”). The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants for transactions of this type, including covenants relating to obtaining the requisite approvals of the stockholders of the Company and the Company’s conduct of its business between the date of signing the Merger Agreement and the Closing. The Merger Agreement also contains representations, warranties and covenants unique to the Company’s assets and commercial activities. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) is subject to certain customary conditions, including (i) required approvals by the Company’s stockholders, (ii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) receipt of any other required governmental approvals or waivers thereof, including clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, and (iv) other customary conditions for a transaction of this type, such as the absence of any legal restraint prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, the bringing down of certain representations and warranties as of the Closing and the absence of any Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

During the period between the date of signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger, our business is exposed to certain inherent risks due to the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger. Some of these risk factors include:

difficulties maintaining relationships with customers, distributors, vendors, suppliers, service providers and other business partners, who may defer decision about working with us, move to our competitors, seek to delay or change existing business relationships with us;

uncertainties caused by negative sentiment in the marketplace with respect to the Merger, which could adversely impact investor confidence in the Company;

distraction of our current employees as a result of the announced Merger Agreement which could result in a decline in their productivity or cause distractions in the workplace;

our inability to attract new employees or retain current employees may be exacerbated due to uncertainties related to the Merger;

the impact of litigation in respect of the Merger Agreement and the Merger;

diversion of significant management time and resources towards the completion of the Merger and transactions related to the Merger;

impact of costs related to completion of the Merger and transactions related to the Merger, including any costs related to any divestitures for which we are required to obtain regulatory approvals;

our inability to solicit other acquisition proposals, pursue alternative business opportunities, make strategic changes to our business and other restrictions on our ability to conduct our business pursuant to the Merger Agreement; and

other developments beyond our control, including, but not limited to, changes in domestic or global economic conditions that may affect the timing or success of the Merger.

33


The ability to complete the Merger is subject to the receipt of consents and approvals from government entities, which may impose conditions that could cause us or Samsung Display to abandon the Merger.

Completion of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, the expiration or termination of the required waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the Merger under the HSR Act, and any voluntary agreement with the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), or the Department of Justice Antitrust Division (“DOJ”). In deciding whether to grant antitrust approvals, the FTC or DOJ, and other state regulatory agencies will consider the effect of the Merger on competition and will likely condition their approval of the Merger on our and/or Samsung Display’s agreement to various requirements, limitations, divestitures or impose restrictions on the conduct of the combined entity’s business following the Merger. We cannot provide any assurance that we or Samsung Display will obtain the necessary approvals to complete the Merger. In addition, these requirements, limitations, divestitures, or restrictions may result in the delay or abandonment of the Merger.

At any time before or after completion of the Merger, notwithstanding the termination or expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the FTC or DOJ or any other state regulatory agency could take such action under the antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the Merger, seeking divestiture of substantial assets of us and/or Samsung Display, or requiring us or Samsung Display to agree to other remedies or requirements. We cannot be certain that a legal challenge to the Merger will not be made or that, if a legal challenge is made, Samsung Display or we will prevail. Failure to prevail in any legal challenge to the Merger may result in the delay or abandonment of the Merger.

While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities.

While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are generally required to conduct our business in the ordinary course consistent with past practices but are restricted from taking certain actions without Samsung Display’s prior consent, which is not to be unreasonably withhold, conditioned or delayed. These limitations include, among other things, certain restrictions on our ability to amend our organizational documents, acquire other businesses and assets, dispose of our assets, make investments, repurchase, reclassify or issue securities, make loans, pay dividends, incur indebtedness, make capital expenditures, enter into, amend or terminate certain contracts, change accounting policies or procedures, initiate or settle certain litigation, change tax classifications and elections, or take certain actions relating to intellectual property. These restrictions could prevent us from pursing strategic business opportunities and taking extraordinary actions with respect to our business during this period.

Litigation related to the Merger could prevent or delay completion of the Merger or otherwise negatively affect our businesses and operations.

Putative stockholder complaints, including stockholder class action complaints, demands for books and records and other complaints or actions may be filed against us, our board of directors (the “Board”), Samsung Display, Samsung Display’s board of directors, and others in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. For example, three complaints, which we refer to as the Exchange Act Complaints, have been filed by purported stockholders of our Company and the Board as individual actions in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Oppenhuizen v. eMagin Corporation, et. al., Civil Action No. 1:23-5360 (filed June 23, 2023), Berkland v. eMagin Corporation, et. al., Civil Action No. 1:23-cv-5551 (filed June 28, 2023), and O’Dell v. eMagin Corporation, et. al., Civil Action No. 1:23-cv-5621 (filed June 30, 2023). The Exchange Act Complaints allege that the defendants filed or caused to be filed a materially incomplete and misleading preliminary proxy statement with the SEC and assert claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. In addition, on June 26, 2023, June 27, 2023, June 29, 2023 and July 5, 2023, we received demand letters from six purported stockholders of our Company alleging that the preliminary proxy statement relating to the Merger omits purportedly material information. On June 26, 2023, we received a demand made by a purported stockholder of our Company pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law seeking certain books and records of the Merger and related matters, which, collectively with the aforementioned six demand letters, we refer to herein as the Demand Letters. In addition to the Exchange Act Complaints and the Demand Letters, on July 14, 2023, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action complaint against us, the Board, Samsung Display, Silk USA, and Merger Sub in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Heckerman v. Wittels, et al. (Case No. 2023-0716), which we refer to herein as the Heckerman Complaint. We believe that the Exchange Act Complaint, the Demand Letters and the Heckerman Complaint are without merit, and we and the individual defendants intend to vigorously defend against the Exchange Act Complaint, Demand Letters, the Heckerman Complaint and any subsequently filed similar actions. We cannot predict the outcome of the Exchange Act Complaint, the Demand Letters or the Heckerman Complaint. The outcome of these actions and any other litigation that arises in connection with the Merger or the Merger Agreement is uncertain, and we may not be successful in defending against them or any such future claims. Lawsuits that may be filed against us, our Board, Samsung Display, or Samsung Display’s board of directors could delay or prevent the Merger and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

34


The Merger may not be completed within the expected timeframe, or at all, and significant delay or the failure to complete the Merger could adversely affect our business.

We cannot assure that our business, our relationships or our financial condition will not be adversely affected if the Merger is not consummated within the expected timeframe, or at all. Failure to complete the Merger within the expected timeframe, or at all, could adversely affect our business and the market price of our common stock in several ways, including the following:

to the extent that the current market price of our common stock reflects an assumption that the Merger will be completed, it may be negatively impacted because of a failure to complete the Merger within the expected timeframe or at all;

investor and consumer confidence in our business could decline, litigation could be brought against us, relationships with vendors, service providers, investors and other business partners may be adversely impacted, and we may be unable to retain key personnel;

we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other costs in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger, for which we may receive little or no benefit if the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger are no completed and may relate to activities that we would not have undertaken other than to complete the Merger; and

failure to complete the Merger, may result in negative publicity and negative impression of us in the investment community.

The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and our stock price. If the Merger is not completed, there can be no assurance that these risks will not materialize and will not materially adversely affect our stock price, business, financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows.

Certain provisions of the Merger Agreement may discourage third parties from submitting competing proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The terms of the Merger Agreement provide that we may enter into a definitive agreement with respect to proposals that may be superior to the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement (“Superior Proposals”) under certain circumstances and in compliance with certain obligations under the Merger Agreement. However, if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstance, including termination by us in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a Superior Proposal, or if our board changes its recommendation to shareholders to vote in favor of the transaction with Samsung Display, we would be required to pay Samsung Display a termination fee of $9 million. This termination fee may discourage third parties from submitting competing proposals to us or our stockholders, and may cause our board of directors to be less inclined to recommend a competing proposal.

The consideration payable to holders of our common stock pursuant to the Merger will not be adjusted for changes in our business, assets liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition or results of operations, or in the event of any change in the market price of our common stock.

The consideration payable to holders of our common stock pursuant to the Merger will not be adjusted for changes in our business, assets, liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition or results of operations, or changes in the market price of, analyst estimates of, or projections relating to, our common stock. For example, if we experienced an improvement in our business, assets, liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition or results of operations prior to the consummation of the Merger, there would be no adjustment to the amount of the proposed Merger consideration.

We have incurred, and will continue to incur, direct and indirect costs as a result of the Merger.

We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant fees and expenses, including fees for professional services and other transaction costs, in connection with the Merger, including costs that we may not currently expect. Except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement, we must pay all fees and expenses incurred by us in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances, we would be required to pay to Parent a termination fee equal to $9 million. There are a number of factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of these costs and expenses.

The Merger remains subject to review by CFIUS and we are not certain how the outcome of the review will impact the Merger or our business.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to review and approval (the “CFIUS Approval”) by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ( “CFIUS”) pursuant to Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. § 4565), and all interim or final rules and regulations issued and effective thereunder (“DPA”). In connection therewith, on July 10, 2023 the parties

35


submitted a joint voluntary notice to CFIUS with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “CFIUS Notice”). The CFIUS Notice was accepted for review on July 18, 2023, which triggered a 45-day initial review period that ends on August 31, 2023.

We may not receive CFIUS Approval or such approval may contain a condition that would be unacceptable to the parties. If CFIUS seeks to impose conditions on the granting of its approval, lengthy negotiations may ensue among CFIUS, Samsung Display and us. Such conditions and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals could have the effect of delaying completion of the Merger and such conditions may not be satisfied for an extended period of time.

We cannot assure you that CFIUS clearance will be obtained in a timely manner or obtained at all, or that the granting of CFIUS clearance will not involve the imposition of regulatory remedies on the completion of the Merger, including requiring changes to the terms of the Merger Agreement. These conditions or changes could result in the conditions to the closing of the Merger not being satisfied. The special meeting of our stockholders at which the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement will be considered (the “Special Meeting”) may take place before all of the required regulatory approvals have been obtained and before regulatory remedies, if any, are known. In this event, if the stockholder approval is obtained, we and Samsung Display may subsequently agree to regulatory remedies without further seeking stockholder approval, except as required by applicable law, even if such regulatory remedies could have an adverse effect on us, Samsung Display, or the combined company.

The large number of retail investors that comprise our shareholder base may impact our ability to obtain shareholder approval for the Merger.

The presence at the Special Meeting of the holders of a majority of the number of shares of our common stock and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis with the common stock) issued and outstanding on the record date will constitute a quorum permitting the meeting to conduct its business. If a quorum is not present, the only business that can be transacted at the Special Meeting is the adjournment or postponement of the meeting to another date or time. Because our shareholder base is comprised of a large number of retail (or non-institutional) investors, which creates more volatility since shares change hands frequently, there can be a significant turnover of shareholders between the record date for the special meeting and the meeting date, which may make it harder to get retail investors to vote. While we make every effort to engage retail investors, such efforts can be expensive and the frequent turnover may create logistical issues for obtaining the shareholder approval required to consummate the Merger. Further, retail investors tend to be less likely to vote in comparison to institutional investors. Failure to secure sufficient votes or to achieve the quorum needed for the special meeting may impede our ability consummate the Merger. If we find it necessary to delay or adjourn the special meeting or to seek approval again, it will be time consuming and we will incur additional costs.
