CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Information in and incorporated by reference into this prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements that are not purely historical may be forward-looking. You can identify some forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends” and similar expressions. Forward looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties regarding events, conditions and financial trends that may affect our future plans of operation, business strategy, results of operations, and financial position.
A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those included within or contemplated by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to risks relating to the uncertainty of growth in market acceptance for our technology, our history of losses since inception, our ability to remain competitive in response to new technologies, the costs to defend, as well as risks of losing, patents and intellectual property rights, a reliance on our future customers’ ability to develop and sell products that incorporate our technology, our customer concentration and dependence on a limited number of customers, the uncertainty of demand for our technology in certain markets, the length of a product development and release cycle, our ability to manage growth effectively, our dependence on key members of our management and development team, our limited experience manufacturing hardware devices and our need and ability to obtain adequate capital to fund future operations. For a discussion of these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements, please see the discussion under “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and in our subsequent filings with the SEC.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. Because actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any responsibility to update or revise any of these factors or to announce publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following is only a summary and therefore does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our common stock. We urge you to read this entire prospectus, including the matters discussed under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and the more detailed consolidated financial statements, notes to the consolidated financial statements and other information incorporated by reference from our other filings with the SEC.
Our Company
We develop and license user interface and touch technology. We also are developing, and intend to manufacture and sell, hardware sensor solutions as modules incorporating our technology.
We offer a patented family of optical touch solutions under the zForce and Multi-Sensing brands. Our optical touch technology is capable of projecting a full plane of light beams in free air or over any flat touch surface. Our technology can also send light into a fluid or a glass to achieve a flush design without a bezel. An object touching the touch surface obstructs a portion of the projected light beams. This small variance of signal is detected with sensitive light sensors connected to touch controllers that process the analog signals and produce touch object coordinates.
Licensing Solutions
As of June 30, 2016, we had forty-one technology license agreements with global Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and Original Design Manufacturers (“ODMs”). During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we had fifteen customers using our touch technology in products that were being shipped to customers. In addition, we are currently developing prototype products and are engaged in product engineering design discussions with numerous global OEMs and ODMs who are in the process of qualifying our touch technology for incorporation in various products. The development and release cycle for these products typically takes six to thirty-six months.
We also offer engineering consulting services to our OEM and ODM customers on a flat rate or hourly rate basis.
Hardware Solutions
In December 2015, we announced AirBar, our first product based on our embedded sensor module. Through a simple USB connection, the AirBar hardware module can touch enable non-touch PCs. The AirBar “Plug-and-Touch” solution is based on our zForce AIR sensing platform. We began manufacturing and selling AirBar for PCs in the third quarter of 2016 at our fully automated manufacturing facility located in Gothenburg, Sweden. We currently have signed agreements with Ingram Micro for Europe, North America and Asia to act as our direct customer and distribution channel.
In 2015, we entered into a joint development and cooperation agreement, with Autoliv Development AB (“Autoliv”) to develop a new Human Machine Interface sensing product for vehicle steering wheel applications. We have licensed our zForce DRIVE technology to Autoliv as part of the agreement.

Private Placement
On August 11, 2016, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with institutional and accredited investors as part of a private placement pursuant to which we agreed to issue a total of 8,627,352 shares of Neonode common stock, including certain Pre-Funded Warrants as described below, and warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $8.7 million in gross proceeds. Closing of the private placement pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement occurred on August 17, 2016.
The total number of shares includes (i) an aggregate of 427,352 shares to Thomas Eriksson, Chief Executive Officer of Neonode, and Remo Behdasht, SVP AirBar Devices at Neonode (the “Employee Investor Shares”), (ii) an aggregate of 4,600,000 shares to outside investors (the “Outside Investor Shares” and, together with the Employee Investor Shares, the “Initial Shares”) for gross proceeds of $4,600,000, and (iii) up to 3,600,000 shares (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) issuable upon exercise of warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants” and, together with the Initial Shares, the “Investor Shares”). The Pre-Funded Warrants were issued to certain outside investors whose purchase of shares of Neonode common stock would make them the beneficial owners of more than 9.99% of the outstanding common stock of Neonode. Each of the Pre-Funded Warrants was pre-funded upon closing of the private placement at $0.99 per Pre-Funded Warrant Share and has an exercise price of $0.01 per Pre-Funded Warrant Share. The Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable upon closing of the private placement and will not expire prior to exercise.
In addition, under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued warrants (the “Purchase Warrants”) to all investors in the private placement to purchase up to a total of 4,313,676 shares of Neonode common stock (the “Purchase Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $1.12 per share. The total number of Purchase Warrant Shares represents a ratio of 50% warrant coverage to the Investor Shares such that investors will be entitled to receive one Purchase Warrant Share upon cash exercise for every two Initial Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants purchased. The Purchase Warrants will expire February 17, 2022, which is five and one-half years from the date of closing of the private placement, and are non-exercisable for the first six months or until February 17, 2017. The terms of the Purchase Warrants require that exercise may only be for cash and not on a cashless basis unless, after a period of six months from closing of the private placement, the Purchase Warrant Shares are not subject to a registration statement or there has been a failure to maintain the effective registration of the Purchase Warrant Shares by Neonode as described below.
The exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Purchase Warrants is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and similar transactions or a “Fundamental Transaction” as provided for in the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Purchase Warrants. The holders may exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Purchase Warrants in whole or in part.
In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which we have filed with the SEC the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, relating to the offer and sale or other disposition by the holders of the Initial Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, and the Purchase Warrant Shares. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we are obligated to file the registration statement by September 10, 2016 and to use best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by November 9, 2016, which is 90 days from the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Failure to meet those and related obligations, or failure to maintain the effective registration of the Initial Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, and Purchase Warrant Shares will subject Neonode to payment for liquidated damages.
Copies of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the form of Purchase Warrant, and the form of Pre-Funded Warrant are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The foregoing summaries of each of the transaction documents, including the warrants, are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents.

We may also use a portion of the cash proceeds to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, technologies, product candidates, or other intellectual property, although we have no present commitments or agreements to do so. The amount and timing of our actual use of proceeds may vary significantly depending upon numerous factors, including the actual amount of proceeds we receive and the timing of when we receive such proceeds. In addition, the terms of the Purchase Warrants provide that it may be exercised on a cashless basis at any time and the terms of if, after February 7, 2017, the shares of common stock underlying the Purchase Warrants are not subject to a registration statement or there has been a failure to maintain the effective registration of such shares. The terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants provide that it may be exercised on a cashless basis at any time. We will not receive any cash proceeds as a result of warrant that are exercised on a cashless basis pursuant to such terms of the warrant.

These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; | |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; | |
| ● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; | |
| ● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; | |
| ● | privately negotiated transactions; | |
| ● | settlement of short sales; | |
| ● | in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; | |

| ● | a combination of any such methods of sale; or | |
| ● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume.

The Selling Stockholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities covered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders have informed us that they do not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date that such securities become eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 and certain other conditions have been satisfied, or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person.
