It's a great opportunity to pick up a couple units of your favorite smart eyewear for friends and family - Lucyd Lyte truly makes a unique and awe-inspiring gift for all ages!

In addition, we want to inform our community that the lockup period for the second crowdfund running in mid-2021 at startengine.com/lucyd is over and the shares are now transferable, with the Nasdaq ticker: LUCY. You will need to follow the below instructions to transfer your shares into brokerage via the DRS or DWAC transfer process. Shares can be transferred into most brokerage accounts including Etrade, Fidelity and Wilson-Davis. Once there, you can transfer again if you wish to stock apps like Robinhood. To transfer to Robinhood, the process is called an ACAT transfer, we have verified that both Etrade and Wilson-Davis can perform this transfer into Robinhood once they have your shares via the DRS or DWAC process.
Here's how to transfer your shares into a trading account via VStockTransfer, our registered transfer agent.
To transfer your shares into a brokerage account under the same name you used to join the crowdfund, follow these steps:
1. Fill out the DRS form to provide our transfer agent with critical information about the destination account. The CUSIP number for Innovative Eyewear is 45791D109. If you have not been provided your Vstock account number, one has been created for you and you can retrieve it by emailing info@vstocktransfer.com or calling Vstock at 212.828.8436.
2. Fill out the credit card authorization form to authorize your card to be charged for $120 for the DRS transfer process. This fee facilitates the transfer of your shares into a brokerage account.
3. Submit both forms to info@vstockstransfer.com. You're done and the shares will be transferred in a few business days.
If the destination brokerage account is under a different name than the name you used to join the crowdfund, follow these steps instead:
1. Fill out the DWAC form to provide our transfer agent with critical information about the destination account. The CUSIP number for Innovative Eyewear is 45791D109. If you have not been provided your Vstock account number, one has been created for you and you can retrieve it by emailing info@vstocktransfer.com or calling Vstock at 212.828.8436.
2. Fill out the credit card authorization form to authorize your card to be charged for $115 for the DWAC transfer process. This fee facilitates the transfer of your shares into a brokerage account.
3. Submit both forms to info@vstockstransfer.com. You're done and the shares will be transferred in a few business days.
In addition to crowdfund shares becoming tradable, you can also increase your position by purchasing additional shares of LUCY at this time, wherever you currently buy Nasdaq stocks.
We are looking forward to many exciting new frames coming in 2023, and we are thrilled to continue pioneering smart eyewear innovations. Thank you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Best wishes always,

Mar 5 Update - New Products on the Horizon
Dear InnoEye investors and followers,
Thank you for your patience while we work to build the global standard in smart eyewear! We have been extremely busy since the end of the crowdfund, rolling out new product styles, improvements and accessories.
Some major developments to look forward to in the Spring:
1) The launch of four additional styles to our main Lucyd Lyte line, including our first XL frame and first tortoise frame, and a striking gold aviator. Here's a quick preview of the new Lyte® Titanium Timewarp model:
2) A new Lyte Sport wraparound sunglass style.
3) Four new Lyte styles designed specifically for women and youth.
4) The introduction of our new cordless charging dock to make charging your Lyte (and other devices) easier than ever.
As a special thank you to our supporters, we will be including FREE Lucyd Pro 2-year insurance on all Lytes you purchase in the month of March. This $79 value covers your frames against all damage for two years, and provides a 50% credit for lost or stolen frames. It's a great way to make sure your smart eyewear is protected for the long haul! Simply check the insurance option when adding frames to cart or before you head into the prescription form. Done and done! Head over to Lucyd.co now to upgrade.
As always, let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for supporting our community-funded, employee-owned company.

June 15 Update - Vision Expo Results & Shape Magazine Feature
Hey InnoEye investors and community,
Thanks so much for supporting us on our mission to make Lucyd eyewear the go-to smart frame of 2021!
Our booth at Vision Expo East was a runaway success - we sold EVERY PAIR WE BROUGHT to the show, and once we ran out of the 60 units we had, we had customers buy the floor models! The response was unbelievable, almost every optical business that came to our booth bought at least one Lyte to try out with their customers.
The feedback from the show has been amazing, and we are in the process of onboarding dozens of new eyewear stores into our reseller network. It really could not have gone better! Check out this great clip of our booth, our brand ambassador Hadar Adora was there too! A media company working the floor said we had one of the busiest booths at the show - and it's easy to tell why, we had the only smart eyewear product at the whole expo.
In addition to our presence at the show, we sent out an email blast to the Expo's entire mailing list of 50,000 eyewear industry professionals. As a result, our reseller network is growing fast!
Guess which pair was the most popular? Our prototype pilot aviator, Starman, stole the show. Check it out below, it launches in just two months and will be our lightest frame yet at 1.1oz!
We were also just featured in Shape Magazine's Father Day gift guide. Shape has a monthly unique viewership of 2.6m people, helping Lucyd Lyte reach an athletic, health-conscious audience.
Thanks so much for following our mission to upgrade the world's eyewear. We'll be back soon with more awesome updates!
All the best,
InnoEye Team

4. Samples of 8 new styles of Lyte will be arriving next week, and we will begin production on them shortly. We expect the new styles to be available to purchase in August, concurrent with the beta launch of our Vyrb app!
5. We are working on six additional styles for a release in the holiday season (this will bring our total board to 20 frames), and two other special additions to the line, including a potential partnered dual-branded pair with a leading eyewear brand, and an OSHA certified bluetooth safety glass, which we have been getting some requests for.

DIVERSE INVESTMENTS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
