Insights
OAS exchange consolidates ownership while adding new shares and a sizable non-cash charge.
Ondas Holdings is offering holders of OAS convertible notes, warrants and OAS common stock the option to convert or exercise on a cashless basis and then exchange into Ondas common shares. Based on elections received by December 12, 2025, Ondas would own roughly 99% of OAS on a fully diluted basis and issue about 6,887,150 Ondas shares, with full participation implying 100% ownership and about 7,325,914 shares issued.
This structure simplifies ownership of OAS under the parent but increases Ondas’s share count, which can dilute existing holders and affect per-share metrics. The company also expects a one-time, non-cash charge of roughly $56.6 million to $60.5 million in the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2025, which will reduce reported earnings for that period even though it does not use cash.
Final share issuance and the exact size of the accounting charge will depend on the level of holder participation and the closing bid price of Ondas common stock on the trading day before definitive exchange agreements are executed, which the company expects to occur during the week of December 15, 2025.
