ONAR Advances Its Capital Plan: Makes Second Down Payment on Largest Potential Acquisition in Company History; Total Down Payments Increased to $1.25 Million with Bridge Funding from Lenders in Its Proposed $15 Million Financing; Another Convertible Note Retired
ONAR (OTC PINK: ONAR) reported three steps in its July 2026 capital plan. On August 27, 2026, it made a second $250,000 down payment toward a proposed acquisition of a leading U.S. affiliate marketing agency, raising total down payments to $1.25 million. These payments are to be credited dollar-for-dollar against the purchase price if the deal closes and extend the outside date to sign the fully negotiated, signature-ready definitive purchase agreement to September 28, 2026. The second payment was funded with bridge financing from lenders involved in ONAR’s proposed $15 million financing. Separately, ONAR retired a secured convertible promissory note, cancelling the note and related warrant and receiving 6,000,000 previously issued shares back for cancellation, as part of its effort to streamline the balance sheet. The company reiterated that both the proposed financing and acquisition remain subject to completion and are not assured.

Second $250,000 down payment extends the signing window to September 28, 2026 under the fully negotiated, signature-ready definitive purchase agreement for the acquisition; completed note retirement cancels the related warrant and returns 6,000,000 shares to the Company for cancellation
MIAMI, Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ONAR Holding Corporation (OTC PINK: ONAR) (“ONAR” or the “Company”), an AI-powered marketing platform, today announced three developments in the capital plan outlined in its July 2026 letter to stockholders. On August 27, 2026, the Company paid a second down payment of $250,000 toward its potential acquisition of a leading U.S. affiliate marketing agency, which would be the largest acquisition in the Company’s history, bringing its total down payments to $1,250,000, all of which will be credited dollar-for-dollar against the purchase price at closing, and extending the outside date for execution of the definitive purchase agreement to September 28, 2026. The second down payment was funded with bridge financing provided by lenders participating in the Company’s previously announced proposed $15 million financing. Separately, the Company completed the retirement of a secured convertible promissory note: the note and the related warrant have been cancelled, and 6,000,000 previously issued shares have been returned to the Company for cancellation.
In its July letter to stockholders, the Company set out four priorities: completing a transformative acquisition, closing a proposed $15 million financing, converting a portion of outstanding debt into equity, and pursuing an uplisting to the Nasdaq Stock Market. Today’s announcements reflect that plan in motion. The down payments will be credited against the purchase price at closing. The bridge funding comes from the same lenders behind the proposed financing. And the note retirement continues the deliberate effort to clean up the Company’s balance sheet, this time returning shares to the Company rather than issuing them.
The definitive purchase agreement for the proposed acquisition has been fully negotiated by the parties and remains in signature-ready form. The second down payment was made pursuant to the extension right the Company negotiated in Amendment No. 2 to its letter of intent, previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 11, 2026, and reflects the Company’s plan to complete its financing and closing workstreams within the extended window.
The bridge financing is evidenced by a secured convertible promissory note on previously disclosed terms. As the Company noted in its July letter, a term sheet is not a financing, and there can be no assurance that the proposed $15 million financing will be completed on the terms contemplated or at all.
The letter of intent for the proposed acquisition otherwise remains non-binding, and there can be no assurance that the definitive purchase agreement will be executed or that the proposed transaction will be consummated. The complete terms of the down payments, including the limited circumstances in which they are refundable, are described in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on July 31, 2026 and August 11, 2026.
“In July, I told our stockholders we had four priorities, and that we would report on each one as it moved from plan to fact,” said Claude Zdanow, Chief Executive Officer of ONAR. “This is what that looks like. We now have $1.25 million placed against the largest acquisition we’ve ever pursued, the lenders behind our proposed financing are funding the path to it, and another convertible note is gone, with six million shares coming back to the company instead of new ones going out. None of this is a closing, and the letter said that plainly too. But every piece of the plan is in motion, and the date on the calendar is one we set ourselves.”
