Smart Glass Company Research Frontiers Receives $1.6 Million in New Capital

The investors received 588,602 shares of Research Frontiers common stock at a price of $2.75 per share, which was the closing market price of Research Frontiers stock on February 25, 2010, the day the transaction was priced. In addition, the investors in this stock offering received 117,719 five-year warrants to purchase Research Frontiers common stock at a price of $5.00 per share. These securities were sold pursuant to Research Frontiers' effective shelf-registration statement filed with the SEC.

The proceeds of this stock offering will be used by Research Frontiers to expand its operations, including increasing marketing programs for products using its state-of-the-art SPD light-control film technology, expanded marketing support for its licensees, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Joseph M. Harary, President and CEO of Research Frontiers, noted: "This transaction was somewhat unique. Not only did some of our existing investors from prior financing rounds participate and increase their equity investment in Research Frontiers, but this round of financing also included people who are more directly involved with the SPD-SmartGlass industry. Some of these new investors are involved with the sales and marketing of SPD-Smart end-products, and others are internationally known architects involved with advanced glass used in some of the world's most prestigious and important buildings."

Mr. Harary continued: "SPD-Smart products offer environmental and design benefits that are increasingly coming to public attention. This is a result of the expansion of our business and marketing efforts and those of our licensees, including the recently announced significant developments by our licensees Hitachi Chemical, Pilkington, PGW, and DIC/iGlass."

SPD-Smart light-control film technology transforms widely used products "windows, skylights, curtainwalls, partitions, sunroofs and more " into products that allow users to instantly and precisely control the light, glare and heat entering a building or vehicle. SPD-SmartGlass is instantly tunable to an infinite number of light transmission states regardless of window size, and easily adapts to individual preferences using control devices ranging from basic dimmer switches and photosensors to those that are integrated into a building's or vehicle's intelligent control system. These unequalled performance characteristics help optimize energy-savings and human comfort, and they offer many other desired benefits such as increased security, noise reduction, protection from harmful ultraviolet light and the potential for aesthetically distinctive designs.
