ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On June 28, 1995, Robotic Vision Systems, Inc. ("Registrant")
consummated a private sale of an aggregate of 1,110,000 shares of its
Common Stock, $.01 par value, at a price of $9.00 per share to 30 persons,
all of whom were "accredited investors", as such term is defined in Rule
501, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), from which Registrant derived gross proceeds of
$9,990,000. Registrant has agreed to file a registration statement
under the Securities Act covering these shares for the respective
accounts of the purchasers thereof no later than December 27, 1995.
Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder, Inc. ("Bleichroeder") acted
as Registrant's agent in connection with Registrant's sale of these
shares. In consideration of its services, Bleichroeder was paid a
commission equal to 5% of the gross proceeds, or $499,500, and
received a warrant, initially exercisable at $9.00 per share
through June 27, 2000, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, to
acquire up to 33,300 shares of Registrant's Common Stock.
Bleichroeder has been afforded like registration rights with
respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this warrant.
Exemption from registration under the Securities Act is
claimed for the sale of these shares in reliance upon the exemption
afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D
promulgated thereunder.
