PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

        This summary highlights information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should carefully read the entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the "Risk Factors" section in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as well as the financial statements and the other information incorporated by reference herein before making an investment decision.

Overview

        Iteris is a provider of essential applied informatics that enable smart transportation and digital agriculture. Municipalities, government agencies, crop science companies, agriculture service providers and other agribusinesses use our solutions to make roads safer and travel more efficient, as well as farmlands more sustainable, healthy and productive.

        As a pioneer in intelligent transportation systems ("ITS") technology for more than two decades, our intellectual property, products, software-as-a-service ("SaaS") offerings and weather forecasting systems offer a comprehensive range of ITS solutions to our customers throughout the U.S. and internationally.

        In the digital agriculture market, we have combined our intellectual property with enhanced atmospheric, land surface and agronomic modeling techniques to offer smart content and analytic solutions that provide analytical support to large enterprises in the agriculture industry, such as seed and crop protection companies, integrated food companies, and agricultural equipment manufacturers and service providers.

        We believe our products, solutions and services improve and safely optimize mobility within our communities, while minimizing environmental impact on roads and lands. We continue to make significant investments to leverage our existing technologies and further expand both our advanced detection sensors and performance analytics systems in the transportation infrastructure market, while supporting the agriculture market with our smart content and digital agriculture platform, and always exploring strategic alternatives intended to optimize the value of all of our businesses.

Products and Services of the Company

        We currently operate in three reporting segments: Roadway Sensors, Transportation Systems, and Agriculture and Weather Analytics.

    Roadway Sensors

        Our Roadway Sensors segment provides various advanced detection sensors and systems for traffic intersection management, communication systems and roadway traffic data collection applications. Our Roadway Sensors products include, among others, Vantage, VantageLive!, Vantage Next®, VantagePegasus, VantageRadius, Vantage Vector, Velocity, SmartCycle, SmartCycle Bike Indicator, SmartSpan, VersiCam, PedTrax and P-Series products.

    Our Vantage detection systems detect vehicle presence at intersections, as well as vehicle count, speed and other traffic data used in traffic management systems. Our Vantage systems give traffic managers the tools to mitigate roadway congestion by visualizing and analyzing traffic patterns allowing them to modify traffic signal timing to improve traffic flow.

    Our Vantage Vector video/radar hybrid product is an all-in-one detection sensor with a wide range of capabilities, including stop bar and advanced zone detection, which enable advanced safety and adaptive control applications.

Table of Contents

    VantageLive! is a cloud-based platform that allows users to collect, process and analyze advanced intersection data, as well as to view and understand intersection activity.

    Our Vantage systems are available with SmartCycle capability, which can effectively differentiate between bicycles and other vehicles with a single video detection camera, enabling more efficient signalized intersections, improved traffic throughput and increased bicyclist safety. Our Vantage systems are also available with the PedTrax capability, which provides bi-directional counting and speed tracking of pedestrians within the crosswalk to help improve signal timing efficiency, as well as providing an additional data stream to existing vehicle and bicycle counts.

    VersiCam, our integrated camera and processor video detection system, is a cost-efficient video detection system for smaller intersections that require only a few detection points.

    Transportation Systems

        Our Transportation Systems segment includes traffic engineering and consulting services focused on the planning, design, development and implementation of software and hardware-based ITS systems that integrate sensors, video surveillance, computers and advanced communications equipment to enable public agencies to monitor, control and direct traffic flow, assist in the quick dispatch of emergency crews, and distribute real-time information about traffic conditions. Our services include planning, design, implementation, operation and management of surface transportation infrastructure systems. We perform analysis and study goods movement, commercial vehicle operations, provide travel demand forecasting and systems engineering, and identify mitigation measures to reduce traffic congestion.

        The Transportations Systems segment also includes our performance measurement and management solutions, Iteris Signal Performance Measures (SPM) and iPeMS—a state-of-the-art information management software suite that provides prescriptive data insights to help determine current and future traffic patterns, permitting the effective performance analysis and management of traffic infrastructure resources. iPeMS utilizes a wide range of data resources and analytical techniques to determine current and future traffic patterns, permitting the effective performance analysis and management of traffic infrastructure resources. This information can then be analyzed by traffic professionals to measure how a transportation network is performing and to identify potential areas of improvement. iPeMS is also capable of providing users with predictive traffic analytics, and easy-to-use visualization and animation features based on historical traffic conditions. We recently launched our comprehensive signal performance measures solution offering, Iteris SPM, a cloud-based application that provides proactive operations and signal maintenance with business process outsourcing and managed services.

        This segment also includes our advanced traveler information system solutions, as well as our commercial vehicle operations and vehicle safety compliance platforms, known as "CVIEW-Plus," "CheckPoint," "UCRLink" and "inspect." These platforms support state-based commercial vehicle operations by storing and distributing intrastate and interstate commercial vehicle information for local, state and federal agencies' roadside and enforcement operations.

    Agriculture and Weather Analytics

        Our Agriculture and Weather Analytics segment includes ClearPath Weather, our road maintenance applications, and ClearAg, our digital agriculture platform. ClearPath Weather is a web-based solution, which includes a suite of tools that apply data assimilation and modeling technologies to assess weather conditions for customizable route/site weather and pavement forecasting, and render winter road maintenance recommendations for state agencies, municipalities and commercial companies to improve roadway maintenance decisions.

        Our ClearAg solutions combine weather and agronomic data with proprietary land-surface modeling and analytics to solve complex agricultural problems and to increase the efficiency and sustainability of farmlands. The ClearAg Platform delivers validation tools for ag inputs, irrigation, field readiness, and harvest solutions giving growers, researchers and other agribusinesses access to a comprehensive database of historical, real-time and forecasted weather, soil and plant health information, as well as other information on crop growth. Companies use the ClearAg Platform to simulate field conditions and determine how new products may perform on a crop given certain weather and soil conditions. Growers and agribusinesses leverage the ClearAg Platform to determine the best times to plant, spray, fertilize, irrigate, and harvest crops.

Acquisition of Albeck Gerken, Inc.

        On June 10, 2019, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Albeck Gerken, Inc. ("AGI"), a professional transportation engineering firm with offices in Tampa (FL), Orlando (FL), Virginia Beach (VA) and Chester Pike (PA). AGI specializes in transportation systems management, operations and analysis.

        AGI assists municipalities in maximizing the effectiveness of their existing transportation networks through a collection of traffic management services to cost effectively optimize the performance of roadway systems and address increased traffic demands, traffic congestion and delays. With a foundation of arterial timing plan development, AGI has also expanded its services into active arterial monitoring and management, with multiple public sector clients.

        AGI's traffic operations engineering solutions provide civil engineering services for the safe and efficient mobility of surface transportation systems. AGI's traffic operations engineers leverage skills in communications, human factors, electronics and transportation engineering to address complex traffic congestion challenges through traffic flow theory, traffic data collection, traffic signal timing optimization software, traffic signal control equipment and field devices.

        Our goals and objectives in acquiring AGI include the following:

    Enhance our presence in one of the nation's largest and most progressive transportation markets. The State of Florida has committed approximately $50 billion dollars to transportation infrastructure initiatives over the next five years, of which $1.5 billion is being allocated to arterial-level intelligent transportation system initiatives.

    Obtain access to AGI's state-wide and municipal relationships and contracts, through which we plan to cross-sell our consulting services, managed services and software. We believe it would take several years and large expenditures on sales and marketing for Iteris to independently develop a similar portfolio of contracts.

    Accelerate our Intersection-as-a-Service initiative, by leveraging AGI's customer references, technical and domain expertise and captive traffic management facilities, which include a state-of-the-art traffic management center, traffic operations lab and traffic engineering and operations training facility.

    Create additional operating scale by adding significant additional revenue and gross margin to our operations.

        The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, we will purchase 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of AGI for a total purchase price of $10,720,000, consisting of $6,185,000 to be paid in cash to the sellers at closing and $4,535,000 to be paid in the form of Iteris common stock priced at $5.22 per share. Of that amount, shares of Iteris common stock valued at $600,000 will be held back and deposited with an escrow agent for 18 months to secure performance of the sellers' indemnification and other post-closing obligations

under the Stock Purchase Agreement. We have also agreed to grant $1,710,000 in retention bonuses to the selling shareholders payable in the form of restricted stock, and $570,000 in retention bonuses to other employees payable in cash, each vesting over three years following the closing. In addition, AGI is required to have $1,200,000 in working capital at closing, and any excess or deficit at closing will increase or decrease, respectively, the cash portion of the purchase price at closing. We have also agreed to register for resale the Iteris common stock that we will be issuing to the sellers, beginning six months after the closing of the AGI acquisition.

        The consummation of the AGI acquisition is expected to occur in early July 2019, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) the absence of a material adverse effect on AGI, (ii) the receipt of specified consents from AGI's customers, (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties (generally subject to a customary material adverse effect standard), (iv) the absence of governmental restrictions on the consummation of the acquisition, (v) material compliance by the parties with their respective covenants and agreements under the Stock Purchase Agreement, and (vi) our successful completion of this offering in an amount sufficient to fund the cash portion of the purchase price and ongoing working capital requirements. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights, including the right of either party to terminate the agreement if the consummation of the acquisition has not occurred on or before December 31, 2019.

        We intend to fund the acquisition of AGI and pay related fees, costs and expenses through a portion of the proceeds of this offering. See "Use of Proceeds." This offering is not conditioned on the closing of the AGI acquisition. We cannot assure you that the acquisition of AGI will be consummated on the terms described herein or at all. If the acquisition of AGI is not consummated, we intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include future acquisitions.

RISK FACTORS

        Before deciding to invest in our common stock, you should consider carefully the following discussion of risks and uncertainties affecting us and our common stock, as well as the risks and uncertainties incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, our subsequent periodic reports and the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. If any of the events anticipated by these risks and uncertainties occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, and the value of our common stock could decline. The risks and uncertainties we discuss in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are those that we currently believe may materially affect our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related To This Offering

Management will have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds from this offering.

        Our management will have broad discretion with respect to the use of proceeds of this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus supplement entitled "Use of Proceeds." You will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used in ways you would agree with. The results and effectiveness of the use of proceeds are uncertain, and we could spend the proceeds in ways that you do not agree with or that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could harm our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

If the price of our common stock fluctuates significantly, your investment could lose value.

        Although our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market ("NASDAQ"), we cannot assure you that an active public market will continue for our common stock. If an active public market for our common stock does not continue, the trading price and liquidity of our common stock will be materially and adversely affected. If there is a thin trading market or "float" for our stock, the market price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole. Without a large float, our common stock would be less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile. In addition, in the absence of an active public trading market, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment in us.

        Furthermore, the stock market is subject to significant price and volume fluctuations, and the price of our common stock could fluctuate widely in response to several factors, including:

    our quarterly or annual operating results;

    changes in our earnings estimates;

    investment recommendations by securities analysts following our business or our industry;

    additions or departures of key personnel;

    changes in the business, earnings estimates or market perceptions of our competitors;

    our failure to achieve operating results consistent with securities analysts' projections;

    changes in industry, general market or economic conditions; and

S-6


Table of Contents

    announcements of legislative or regulatory changes.

        The stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years that have significantly affected the quoted prices of the securities of many companies, including companies in our industry. The changes often appear to occur without regard to specific operating performance. The price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our company and these fluctuations could materially reduce our stock price.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

        In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price that is less than the price paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price paid by investors in this offering.

Risks Related To The Acquisition of AGI

The market price of our common stock following to announcement of the AGI acquisition may decline.

        The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the announcement of the AGI acquisition for a number of reasons, including if:

    Investors react negatively to the prospects of the combined organization's business and prospects from the acquisition; or

    The perceived effect of the acquisition on the combined organization's business and prospects is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

If the acquisition of AGI closes, it may not be accretive and may cause dilution to our earnings per share, which may negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

        Although we currently anticipate that the AGI acquisition will be consummated and be accretive to our earnings per share (on an adjusted earnings basis that is not pursuant to GAAP and excluding transaction and integration costs) from and after the AGI acquisition, this expectation is based on assumptions, including about our and AGI's business, estimated costs and revenue synergies, and other preliminary estimates, each of which may change materially. As a result, should the AGI acquisition occur, it may cause dilution to our earnings per share or the expected accretive effect of the AGI acquisition may be less than anticipated, delayed or not occur at all, each of which may cause a decrease in the market price of our common stock. In addition, we could encounter additional transaction-related costs or other factors, such as the failure to realize all of the strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated in the AGI acquisition, including anticipated cost and revenue synergies. All of these factors could cause dilution to our earnings per share or decrease, delay or cause not to occur the expected accretive effect of the AGI acquisition and cause a decrease in the market price of our common stock.

This offering is not conditioned on the closing of the AGI acquisition, and we cannot assure you that the AGI acquisition will be consummated.

        This offering is not conditioned on the closing of the AGI acquisition, which is expected to close in July 2019 and will be subject to customary conditions, certain of which are summarized under "Prospectus Supplement Summary—Acquisition of Albeck Gerken, Inc." We cannot assure you that the acquisition of AGI will be consummated on the terms described herein or at all. If the AGI acquisition

S-7


Table of Contents

is not consummated, we intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include future acquisitions. If the AGI acquisition is not consummated, this offering will cause dilution to our earnings per share, which may negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

The unaudited pro forma financial information contained in this prospectus supplement may not accurately reflect our financial position or results of operations following the completion of the AGI acquisition.

        The unaudited pro forma financial information contained in this prospectus supplement is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of what our financial position or results of operations would have been had the AGI acquisition been completed on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been derived from our audited historical financial statements along with those of AGI, and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding the combined company after giving effect to the AGI acquisition. The assets and liabilities of AGI have been measured at fair value based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that AGI's management believes are reasonable utilizing information currently available. The process for estimating the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. These estimates and assumptions may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Differences between preliminary estimates in the pro forma financial information and the final acquisition accounting will occur and could have a material impact on the pro forma financial information and the combined company's financial position and future results of operations. In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect our financial condition or results of operations following the AGI acquisition. Any potential decline in our financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variations in the trading price of our common stock following the AGI acquisition.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        Some of the statements contained in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus contain "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. From time to time, we also provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public, as well as oral forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our "expectations," "hopes," "beliefs," "intentions," or "strategies" regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as, but not limited to, "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "predict," "project," "may," "might," "should," "would," "will," "likely," "will likely result," "continue," "could," "future," "plan," "possible," "potential," "target," "forecast," "goal," "observe," "seek," "strategy" and other words and terms of similar meaning, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward looking. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance.

        Forward-looking statements are not historical factors and should not be read as a guarantee or assurance of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, or if which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made or management's good faith beliefs, expectations and assumptions as of that time with respect to future events. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include:

    our dependence on government contracts and subcontracts, which expose us to state and local budgetary issues and fixed price contracts;

    our ability to successfully expand our Agriculture and Weather Analytics capabilities to address the digital agricultural market;

    our ability to achieve and sustain profitability in the future;

    our ability to maintain adequate utilization of our Transportation Systems workforce;

    our ability to successfully manage the integration of AGI and other acquisitions;

    our ability to raise additional capital in the future;

    our participation in the software development market and ability to handle various technical and commercial challenges;

    our ability to keep pace with rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards;

    our ability to develop and introduce new products and product enhancements in a cost-effective and timely manner, and achieve market acceptance of our new products;

USE OF PROCEEDS

        We expect the net proceeds from this offering to be approximately $23.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock under this prospectus supplement to fund the cash purchase price for the AGI acquisition and related fees, costs and expenses, estimated to be approximately $6,685,000 in the aggregate, for general corporate purposes, and for additional acquisitions.

        We expect from time to time to evaluate the acquisition of businesses, products and technologies for which a portion of the net proceeds may be used, although we currently are not planning or negotiating any such transactions, other than AGI. If the acquisition of AGI is not consummated, we intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes and for future acquisitions.

        As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the proceeds from this offering, other than the cash purchase price for the AGI acquisition and related fees, costs and expenses. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of such proceeds, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering. Pending the use of the net proceeds from this offering as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities.

DIVIDEND POLICY

        We have never paid or declared cash dividends on our common stock, and have no current plans to pay such dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any earnings for working capital and general corporate purposes. The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, future earnings, the success of our business, our capital requirements, our general financial condition and future prospects, general business conditions, the consent of our lender and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.


CAPITALIZATION

        The below table sets forth our consolidated cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and capitalization as of March 31, 2019 on (i) an actual basis, (ii) an adjusted basis to give effect to our receipt of net proceeds of approximately $23.1 million from the sale of shares of common stock we are offering at a public offering price of $4.65 per share after deducting the underwriters' fees and commission and estimated offering expenses payable by us, but before the consummation of the proposed AGI Acquisition and (iii) an as adjusted pro forma basis after giving effect to the consummation of the proposed AGI acquisition as if it had occurred on March 31, 2019, including the pro forma adjustments as outlined in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in this prospectus.

        We have estimated that the net proceeds of this offering, after deducting the estimated underwriting fees and expenses, will be approximately $23.1 million.

        You should read this table in conjunction with "Use of Proceeds," "Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data of the Company," in this prospectus supplement and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

DILUTION

        Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2019 was approximately $15.6 million, or approximately $0.47 per share. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2019.

        After giving effect to our sale of shares of our common stock in this offering and after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2019 would have been approximately $38.7 million or $1.00 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.53 per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $3.65 per share to investors participating in this offering at the public offering price. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

Public offering price for one share of common stock in this offering

  $ 0.47

    0.53        

As adjusted net tangible book value per share immediately after this offering

          1.00  

Dilution per share to investors participating in this offering

        $ 3.65  

        If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of common stock at the public offering price of $4.65 per share, the as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering would be approximately $1.07 per share, representing an increase in net tangible book value of approximately $0.60 per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of approximately $3.58 per share to investors participating in this offering at the public offering price.

        The above discussion and table are based on 33,376,988 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2019, and excludes as of such date an aggregate of 2,761,082 additional shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 2007 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and 2016 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        We derived the unaudited pro forma data set forth below by the application of pro forma adjustments to the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Iteris, Inc. (referred to collectively with our wholly-owned subsidiary, ClearAg, Inc., in this prospectus supplement as "Iteris," the "Company," "we," "our," and "us") included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 and incorporated by reference herein, and the historical audited financial statements of Albeck Gerken Inc. ("AGI") included in this Prospectus Supplement.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 gives effect to Iteris' proposed acquisition of AGI as if it had occurred on April 1, 2018, combines the historical results of Iteris for its year ended March 31, 2019 and the historical results of AGI for its year ended December 31, 2018, and reflects pro forma adjustments that are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data at March 31, 2019 gives effect to Iteris' proposed acquisition of AGI as if it occurred on such date and combines the historical balance sheets of Iteris as of March 31, 2019 and AGI as of December 31, 2018. The Iteris balance sheet information was derived from its audited consolidated balance sheets included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 and incorporated by reference herein. The AGI balance sheet information was derived from its audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2018.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared by Iteris' management for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had Iteris and AGI been a combined company during the periods presented. The pro forma adjustments are based on the preliminary assumptions and information available at the time of the preparation of this prospectus supplement, and such assumptions are subject to change.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations exclude certain non-recurring charges that have been or will be incurred in connection with the proposed acquisition of AGI, including investment banker and professional fees of Iteris and AGI. These expenses total approximately $500,000 and exclude fees and expenses of the underwriters.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that we may achieve as a result of the proposed acquisition of AGI or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements.

        The unaudited pro forma data should be read in conjunction with the information contained in "Capitalization," "Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data of the Company," "Selected Historical Financial Data of AGI" and "Financial Statements of Albeck Gerken, Inc." included herein, and the historical consolidated financial statements of Iteris and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and incorporated by reference herein.

1. Basis of Presentation

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was prepared using the historical balance sheets of Iteris as of March 31, 2019 and of AGI as of December 31, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations was prepared using the historical statement of operations of Iteris for the year ended March 31, 2019 and the historical statement of income of AGI for the year ended December 31, 2018.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the purchase method of accounting. Based on the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Iteris is treated as the acquirer of AGI. Accordingly, we have adjusted the historical consolidated financial information to give effect to the impact of the consideration issued in connection with the Acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, based on management's preliminary estimate of their respective values. The resulting impact on the statements of operations is presented in the tables that follow. Definitive allocations will be performed and finalized based upon certain valuation and other studies that will be performed by Iteris after the closing. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation adjustments reflected in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are preliminary, have been made solely for the purpose of preparing these statements and are subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value after the closing of the Acquisition.

2. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

        The purchase price for the Acquisition is approximately $10.7 million, of which approximately $6.2 million in cash and $4.5 million in Iteris common stock is payable at closing and is subject to working capital and other adjustments. In addition to the purchase price, approximately $2.3 million, $570,000 in cash and $1.7 million in Iteris common stock, is payable upon certain retention milestones. The purchase price of $10.7 million has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as follows:

        We have allocated $5.5 million to intangible assets, and assigned an estimated economic life of 6 years. The determination of the preliminary fair value was primarily based upon historical intangible asset valuations in comparison to the purchase price for prior acquisitions. This value will be adjusted

upon completion of the valuation analysis. The determination of useful life was also based upon historical experience. The estimated annual amortization expense for these acquired intangible assets is approximately $918,000, using straight-line amortization, and has been included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019.

6. Elimination of Historical Balances

        These adjustments reflect the elimination of AGI's equity as of March 31, 2019, for the purpose of presenting a pro forma balance sheet assuming the proposed AGI Acquisition had occurred on March 31, 2019.

7. Equity Offering

        We intend to issue approximately $25.0 million in common stock in a public offering (net of underwriting fee of approximately $1.5 million) to fund a portion of the purchase price. Shares to be issued of 5.4 million were calculated using a public offering price of $4.65 per share. We expect to incur additional costs in connection with the issuance of common stock of approximately $400,000. These costs have been recorded as a reduction to additional paid in capital on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

8. Non-recurring Acquisition Expenses

        We expect to incur additional transaction costs, including financial and legal advisory fees of approximately $500,000 through the closing of the proposed AGI Acquisition. The total of these costs has been recorded as a reduction to retained earnings on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. These costs are excluded from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations as they are considered non-recurring.

9. Taxes

        For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, we used an effective rate of 0.5%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account any possible future tax events that may occur for the combined company. The actual rate may be different.

UNDERWRITING

        Under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an underwriting agreement, the underwriters named below, for whom B. Riley FBR, Inc. is acting as representative, have severally agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to them, the number of shares of common stock indicated below:

 
  Number of Shares of
Common Stock
 

B. Riley FBR, Inc. 

    4,032,259  

Northland Securities, Inc. 

    591,398  

Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

    483,871  

Dougherty & Company LLC

    268,817  

Total

    5,376,345  

        The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters are subject to various conditions, including the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus supplement if any such shares are purchased. However, the underwriters are not required to take or pay for the shares of common stock covered by the underwriters' option to purchase additional securities described below.

        The underwriters expect to deliver the shares of common stock to purchasers on or about June 18, 2019.

        Simultaneously with the closing of the offering, B.Riley FBR, Inc. intends to purchase from nine unaffiliated stockholders in a private transaction no less than 1,300,000 and up to 1,660,967 shares of common stock held by them at a price per share that is $0.10 less than the public offering price.

        We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase up to 806,452 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, less underwriting discounts and commissions. To the extent the option is exercised in whole or in part, each underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase their pro rata share of the additional shares of common stock based on the number of shares of common stock initially purchased by each underwriter as set forth in the table.

        The public offering price was determined in negotiations between the underwriters and us based on the closing price per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on June 13, 2019, which was $5.10 per share. The following table shows the per share and total public offering price, underwriting discounts and commissions, and proceeds before expenses to us. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase up to an additional 806,452 shares of common stock.

S-25


Table of Contents

connection with the offering, including filing fees and investor presentation expenses, as well as underwriters' counsel legal fees up to an aggregate maximum amount of $50,000.

        The underwriters will require all our directors and officers to agree not to (i) offer, sell, offer, agree to sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise dispose of or hedge, directly or indirectly, any class or series of our common stock, any of our securities that are substantially similar to any of our common stock or any of our securities convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or that represent the right to receive any of our common stock or any of our securities that are substantially similar to any class or series of our common stock, or, collectively, the Lock-Up Securities, (ii) exercise or seek to exercise or effectuate in any manner any rights of any nature that the undersigned has or may have hereafter to require the Company to register under the Act, (iii) otherwise participate as a selling securityholder in any manner in any registration of the Lock-Up Securities effected by the us under the Act or (iv) publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing, in each case, without the prior written consent of the representative for a period of 90 days from the date of this prospectus supplement. These restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude our officers and directors from engaging in any hedging or other transaction or arrangement that is designed to, or which reasonably could be expected to, lead to or result in a sale, disposition or transfer, in whole or in part, of any of the economic consequences of ownership of our common stock, whether such transaction would be settled by delivery of our common stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

        These restrictions do not apply to (i) a bona fide gift or gifts by any of our officers or directors, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions described in the preceding paragraph; (ii) a transfer by any of our officers or directors to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of that officer or director or his or her immediate family, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by such restrictions and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value; (iii) a transfer by any of our officers or directors in connection with sales or transfers of common stock to the Company solely in connection with the "net" or "cashless" exercise or settlement of Company stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units for the purpose of exercising or settling such stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, provided that any remaining common stock received upon such exercise or settlement will be subject to the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph; (iv) the disposition of shares of common stock by our officers or directors to the Company solely in connection with the payment of taxes due with respect to the vesting of restricted stock awards or the exercise or settlement of restricted stock units issued pursuant to the Company's equity incentive plans; or (v) transfers by our officers or directors to any person pursuant to a merger, tender offer or exchange offer or other business combination, acquisition of assets or similar transaction that would, without the participation of such person, result in a change of control.

        Joe Bergera, our Chief Executive Officer, President and a Director, and Laura Siegal, a Director, intend to purchase up to 4,301 and 10,753 of the shares of our common stock, respectively, to be sold in this offering at the public offering price and on the same terms as the other purchasers in this offering.

        We have agreed that for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, we will not, without the prior written consent of the representative, directly or indirectly offer, pledge, sale, contract to sell, short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock or derivative of common stock. These restrictions do not apply to (i) the sale of shares of common stock to the underwriters; (ii) the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of options or upon the conversion or exchange of other securities; (iii) the filing of one or more registration statements registering the secondary sale of shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock; (iv) the sale of shares of common stock pursuant to any stock option, stock bonus or other stock plan

S-26


Table of Contents

or arrangement described in the accompanying prospectus; (v) the issuance of shares of common stock or options to our directors as compensation for their services; (vi) subject to certain limitations, the issuance of shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of another person or entity; or (vii) subject to certain limitations, the issuance of shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock in connection with joint ventures, commercial relationships, debt financing or other strategic transactions.

        The underwriters have advised us that they propose to offer the shares of common stock to the public at the offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $0.17 per share of common stock. After the offering, the offering price, concession and reallowance to dealers may be reduced by the underwriters. In order to facilitate the offering of the shares of common stock, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the shares of common stock. Specifically, the underwriters may sell more shares than they are obligated to purchase under the underwriting agreement, creating a short position. A short sale is covered if the short position is no greater than the number of shares available for purchase by the underwriters under the option to purchase additional securities. The underwriters can close out a covered short sale by exercising the option to purchase additional securities or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out a covered short sale, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the open market price of shares compared to the price available under the option to purchase additional securities. The underwriters may also sell shares in excess of the option to purchase additional securities, creating a naked short position. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares of common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. As an additional means of facilitating this offering, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, shares of common stock in the open market to stabilize the price of the shares of common stock. These activities may raise or maintain the market price of the shares of common stock above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the shares of common stock. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

        In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of common stock and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker's bid, such bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

        A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters participating in this offering and one or more of underwriters participating in this offering may distribute prospectuses electronically. The representative may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriters that will make internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on these websites is not part of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or the registration statement of which the accompanying prospectus forms a part, has not been approved or endorsed by us or any underwriter in its capacity as underwriter, and should not be relied upon by investors.

        We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

        We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Albeck Gerken, Inc. as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Report on Supplementary Information

        Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The schedules of general and administrative expenses are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other

The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        This summary of significant accounting policies of Albeck Gerken, Inc. (the Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Nature of Business and Operating Cycle

        The Company, a Nebraska S-Corporation, is a professional transportation engineering firm specializing in Arterial Transportation System Management, Operations (TSM&O), and Maintenance. This includes Traffic Operations Engineering, Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) operation and Transportation Analysis. The Company's financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.

Revenue Recognition

        The Company recognizes revenue when earned and expenses when incurred.

Use of Estimates

        Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from those estimates used.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Investments

        The Company has classified its investments as available for sale. These investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported net of income taxes as a component of shareholders' equity. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an investment in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Realized gains and losses from the sale of investments are computed using the specific identification cost method.

Accounts Receivable

        Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a periodic basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

written off are recorded when received. The Company considers all accounts receivable to be fully collectible, thus no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment purchased with an original cost of $2,500 or more and an expected life of more than one year are recorded at historical cost. Additions, renewals, and betterments are capitalized, whereas expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold is removed from the appropriate asset and contra-asset accounts, with the resulting gain or loss recognized.

        Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives on straight-line and accelerated methods. The estimated useful lives by type of assets are as follows:

 
  Years
Software   3
Leasehold Improvements   40
Vehicles   5
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment   3 - 7

Stock Appreciation Rights

        The Company has granted stock appreciation rights to key employees. The stock appreciation rights vest over a 6 year period and are redeemable for cash value. The stock appreciation rights are not shares of stock of the Company and do not have voting rights. The cash value of the stock appreciation rights granted depends upon the future performance and growth of the Company.

Income Taxes

        The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code, which provide that in lieu of corporation income taxes, the shareholders report the Company's taxable income on their individual tax returns. As a result of this election, no income taxes have been recognized in these financial statements. The Company may make distributions to the shareholders to cover the income taxes on their individual income tax returns.

        The Company has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring disclosure and there are no material amounts of unrecognized tax benefits.

Compensated Absences

        Employees of the Company are entitled to paid time off. This paid time off is granted in varying amounts based on length of service. The compensated absences liability balances were $63,576 and $49,584 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses.

        Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below.

    Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

S-41

ALBECK GERKEN, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

NOTE C—INVESTMENTS (Continued)

    Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

    Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

    Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

    Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

    Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

      If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

    Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

        The asset's or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

        Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2018.

        Mutual funds:    Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

        The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

        The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company's assets at fair value as of December 31, 2018.

NOTE L—INCOME TAXES

        The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was signed in law on December 22, 2017. The law includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a Federal corporate rate reduction from 35% to 21%, limitations on the deductibility of interest expenses and executive compensation, and the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system. The Company does not expect the legislation to have a financial impact on the Company because, as a S-Corporation, it is not subject to federal income tax and the tax effect of its activities accrues to the shareholders.

        Management has not taken any positions nor foresees any changes within the next 12 months for which it would be reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will materially increase or decrease. Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions are fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        Any statements in this prospectus and the information incorporated herein by reference about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words or phrases such as "expect(s)," "feel(s)," "believe(s)," "intend(s)," "plans," "should," "will," "may," "anticipate(s)," "estimate(s)," "could," "should," and similar expressions or variations of

1


these words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our anticipated growth, sales, revenue, expenses, profitability, capital needs, backlog, manufacturing capabilities, the market acceptance of our products, competition, the impact of any current or future litigation, the impact of recent accounting pronouncements, the applications for and acceptance of our products and services, and the status of our facilities and product development. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof. We encourage you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us which describe certain factors which could affect our business, including in "Risk Factors" and other risks detailed in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before deciding to invest in our company or to maintain or increase your investment. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason, including to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.


USE OF PROCEEDS

        Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include, but is not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, research and development and licensing and acquisition of new products and companies. We will set forth in the particular prospectus supplement our intended use for the net proceeds we receive from the sale of our securities under such prospectus supplement. Pending the uses described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds of this offering in short- and medium-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        We may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities separately or together:

    through one or more underwriters or dealers in a public offering and sale by them;

    through agents; and/or

    directly to one or more purchasers.

        We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions:

    at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

    at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

    at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

    at negotiated prices.

        We may solicit directly offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus. We may also designate agents to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. We may sell the securities being offered by this prospectus by any method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an "at the market" offering as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, including without limitation sales made directly on the Nasdaq Capital Market, on any other existing trading market for our securities or to or through a market maker. We will name in a prospectus supplement any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities.

2


        If we utilize a dealer in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

        If we utilize an underwriter in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will execute an underwriting agreement with the underwriter at the time of sale and we will provide the name of any underwriter in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and the underwriter may compensate those dealers in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions.

        We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement any compensation we will pay to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers. In compliance with guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, the maximum consideration or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker dealer may not exceed 8% of the aggregate amount of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof. In the event that an offering made pursuant to this prospectus is subject to FINRA Rule 5121, the prospectus supplement will comply with the prominent disclosure provisions of that rule.

        The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involves the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than we sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

        We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for solicitation of these contracts.

        We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with any derivative transaction, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in

3


settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

        The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.

General

        Prior to issuance of shares of each series of our undesignated preferred stock, our board of directors is required by the Delaware General Corporate Law, or DGCL, and our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or certificate of incorporation, to adopt resolutions and file a Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, fixing for each such series the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of such series. Our board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions which could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction which holders of some, or a majority, of such shares might believe to be in their best interests or in which holders of some, or a majority, of such shares might receive a premium for their shares over the then-market price of such shares.

        Subject to limitations prescribed by the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation and our Restated Bylaws, or bylaws, our board of directors is authorized to fix the number of shares constituting each series of preferred stock and the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of such series, including such provisions as may be desired concerning voting, redemption, dividends, dissolution or the distribution of assets, conversion or exchange, and such other

5


subjects or matters as may be fixed by resolution of the board of directors. Each series of preferred stock that we offer under this prospectus will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable and will not have, or be subject to, any preemptive or similar rights.

        The applicable prospectus supplement(s) will describe the following terms of the series of preferred stock in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:

    the title and stated value of the preferred stock;

    the number of shares of the preferred stock offered, the liquidation preference per share and the purchase price of the preferred stock;

    the dividend rate(s), period(s) and/or payment date(s) or the method(s) of calculation for dividends;

    whether dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends on the preferred stock shall accumulate;

    the procedures for any auction and remarketing, if any, for the preferred stock;

    the provisions for a sinking fund, if any, for the preferred stock;

    the provisions for redemption, if applicable, of the preferred stock;

    any listing of the preferred stock on any securities exchange or market;

    the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred stock will be convertible into common stock or another series of our preferred stock, including the conversion price (or its manner of calculation) and conversion period;

    the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which preferred stock will be exchangeable into our debt securities, including the exchange price, or its manner of calculation, and exchange period;

    voting rights, if any, of the preferred stock;

    a discussion of any material and/or special U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred stock;

    whether interests in the preferred stock will be represented by depositary shares;

    the relative ranking and preferences of the preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;

    any limitations on issuance of any series of preferred stock ranking senior to or on a parity with the preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; and

    any other specific terms, preferences, rights, limitations or restrictions on the preferred stock.

Rank

        Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Iteris, the preferred stock will rank:

    senior to all classes or series of our common stock, and to all equity securities issued by us the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank junior to the preferred stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us;

    on a parity with all equity securities issued by us that do not rank senior or junior to the preferred stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us; and

6


    junior to all equity securities issued by us the terms of which do not specifically provide that such equity securities rank on a parity with or junior to the preferred stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us (including any entity with which we may be merged or consolidated or to which all or substantially all of our assets may be transferred or which transfers all or substantially all of our assets).

        As used for these purposes, the term "equity securities" does not include convertible debt securities.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

        The transfer agent and registrar for any series or class of preferred stock will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.


DESCRIPTION OF EQUITY WARRANTS

        We may issue equity warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock. The warrants may be issued independently or together with any securities and may be attached to or separate from the securities. The warrants are to be issued under warrant agreements to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, all as shall be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to warrants being offered pursuant to such prospectus supplement. The following description of warrants will apply to the warrants offered by this prospectus unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement for a particular series of warrants may specify different or additional terms.

Equity Warrants

        The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of equity warrants offered:

    the title of the equity warrants;

    the securities (i.e., common stock or preferred stock) for which the equity warrants are exercisable;

    the price or prices at which the equity warrants will be issued;

    if applicable, the designation and terms of the common stock or preferred stock with which the equity warrants are issued, and the number of equity warrants issued with each share of common stock or preferred stock;

    if applicable, the date on and after which the equity warrants and the related common stock or preferred stock will be separately transferable;

    if applicable, a discussion of any material Federal income tax considerations; and

    any other terms of the equity warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of equity warrants.

        Prior to exercise of the equity warrants, holders of equity warrants will not be entitled, by virtue of being such holders, to vote, consent, receive dividends, receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of our directors or any other matter, or to exercise any rights whatsoever as our stockholders.

        The exercise price payable and the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock purchasable upon the exercise of each equity warrant will be subject to adjustment in certain events, including the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of common stock or preferred stock or a stock split, reverse stock split, combination, subdivision or reclassification of common stock or preferred

7


stock. In lieu of adjusting the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock purchasable upon exercise of each equity warrant, we may elect to adjust the number of equity warrants. No adjustments in the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of the equity warrants will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% thereof. We may, at our option, reduce the exercise price at any time. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of equity warrants, but we will pay the cash value of any fractional shares otherwise issuable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of any consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of our property in its entirety or substantially in its entirety, the holder of each outstanding equity warrant shall have the right to the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property, including cash, receivable by a holder of the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock into which the equity warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such transaction.

Exercise of Warrants

        Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash such principal amount of securities or shares of stock at such exercise price as shall in each case be set forth in, or be determinable as set forth in, the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered thereby. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered thereby. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

        The warrants may be exercised as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered. Upon receipt of payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If less than all of the warrants represented by such warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants.


DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

        The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. We may issue units consisting of two or more other constituent securities. These units may be issuable as, and for a specified period of time may be transferable only as a single security, rather than as the separate constituent securities comprising such units. While the features we have summarized below will generally apply to any units we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any units that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The specific terms of any units may differ from the description provided below as a result of negotiations with third parties in connection with the issuance of those units, as well as for other reasons. Because the terms of any units we offer under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, you should rely solely on information in the applicable prospectus supplement if that summary is different from the summary in this prospectus.

        We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement related to the specific units being offered, as well as the complete instruments that contain the terms of the securities that comprise those units. Certain of those instruments, or forms of those instruments, have been or will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and supplements to those instruments or forms may be incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part from reports we file with the SEC.

        If we offer any units, certain terms of that series of units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the following, as applicable:

    the title of the series of units;

    identification and description of the separate constituent securities comprising the units;

8


    the price or prices at which the units will be issued;

    the date, if any, on and after which the constituent securities comprising the units will be separately transferable;

    a discussion of certain United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the units; and

    any other terms of the units and their constituent securities.


GLOBAL SECURITIES

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

        Unless we indicate differently in a prospectus supplement, the securities initially will be issued in book-entry form and represented by one or more global notes or global securities, or, collectively, global securities. The global securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, as depositary, or DTC, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC. Unless and until it is exchanged for individual certificates evidencing securities under the limited circumstances described below, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to its nominee or by the nominee to the depositary, or by the depositary or its nominee to a successor depositary or to a nominee of the successor depositary.

        DTC has advised us that it is:

    a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law;

    a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law;

    a member of the Federal Reserve System;

    a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and

    a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

        DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among its participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. "Direct participants" in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.

        Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC's records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a beneficial owner, is in turn recorded on the direct and indirect participants' records. Beneficial owners of securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which they purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting

9


on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the global securities, except under the limited circumstances described below.

        To facilitate subsequent transfers, all global securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee will not change the beneficial ownership of the securities. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC's records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

        So long as the securities are in book-entry form, you will receive payments and may transfer securities only through the facilities of the depositary and its direct and indirect participants. We will maintain an office or agency in the location specified in the prospectus supplement for the applicable securities, where notices and demands in respect of the securities and the indenture may be delivered to us and where certificated securities may be surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange.

        Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any legal requirements in effect from time to time.

        Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the securities of a particular series are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the securities of such series to be redeemed.

        Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (or such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns the consenting or voting rights of Cede & Co. to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities of such series are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.

        So long as securities are in book-entry form, we will make payments on those securities to the depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of such securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If securities are issued in definitive certificated form under the limited circumstances described below, we will have the option of making payments by check mailed to the addresses of the persons entitled to payment or by wire transfer to bank accounts in the United States designated in writing to the applicable trustee or other designated party at least 15 days before the applicable payment date by the persons entitled to payment.

        Redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments on the securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit direct participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name." Those payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility, disbursement of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.

10


        Except under the limited circumstances described below, purchasers of securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names and will not receive physical delivery of securities. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants to exercise any rights under the securities and the indenture.

        The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Those laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in securities.

        DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, securities certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

        As noted above, beneficial owners of a particular series of securities generally will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in those securities. However, if:

    DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the global security or securities representing such series of securities or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when it is required to be registered and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days of the notification to us or of our becoming aware of DTC's ceasing to be so registered, as the case may be;

    we determine, in our sole discretion, not to have such securities represented by one or more global securities; or

    an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series of securities,

we will prepare and deliver certificates for such securities in exchange for beneficial interests in the global securities. Any beneficial interest in a global security that is exchangeable under the circumstances described in the preceding sentence will be exchangeable for securities in definitive certificated form registered in the names that the depositary directs. It is expected that these directions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from its participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the global securities.

        We have obtained the information in this section and elsewhere in this prospectus concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system from sources that are believed to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information.


CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND OF THE
COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

Delaware Takeover Statute

        We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. This statute regulating corporate takeovers prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

    prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

    the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (a) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (b) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

11


    on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

        Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

    any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

    any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;

    subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; or

    the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

        In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

        Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from attempting to acquire, control of our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions may also make the removal of incumbent officers and directors more difficult. These provisions are intended to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of Iteris to first negotiate with us. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. These provisions may make it more difficult for stockholders to take specific corporate actions and could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control. In particular, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for the following:

        Special Meetings of Stockholders.    Special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the board of directors, our president, a majority of the members of the board of directors, or by one or more stockholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at the special meeting.

        Advance Notice Requirement.    Stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders must comply with advance notice procedures. These advance notice procedures require timely notice and apply in several situations, including stockholder proposals and nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year.

        Amendment of Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation.    The approval of not less than 662/3% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote is required to amend provisions of our bylaws discussed above under "Advance Notice Requirement". This provisions could make it more difficult to circumvent the anti-takeover provisions of our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws.

        Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock.    Our board of directors is authorized to issue, without further action by the stockholders, up to 2,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by the board of directors. We currently have 100,000 shares of preferred stock designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred

12


Stock. As of the date of this prospectus, we did not have any shares of preferred stock outstanding. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock enables our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

        As permitted by Section 102 of the DGCL, we have adopted provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws that limit or eliminate the personal liability of our directors for a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as a director. The duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages or breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

    any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

    any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

    pursuant to Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; or

    any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

        These limitations of liability do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our certificate of incorporation also authorizes us to indemnify our officers, directors and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

        As permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, our bylaws provide that:

    we may indemnify our directors, officers, and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to limited exceptions;

    we may advance expenses to our directors, officers and employees in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to limited exceptions; and

    the rights provided in our bylaws are not exclusive.

        We have entered, and intend to continue to enter, into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers which may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our officers and directors against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct. These indemnification agreements also may require us to advance any expenses incurred by the directors or officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. At present, we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or agent in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that might result in a claim for such indemnification. We have also purchased a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

        Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, and may indemnify our employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
