Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Ondas Holdings Inc. entered into an underwriting agreement with Oppenheimer & Co. and completed an underwritten equity offering of common stock or pre-funded warrants bundled with common stock warrants. The deal priced each share (or pre-funded warrant) plus accompanying common warrant at $11.50, delivering approximately $407.2 million in net proceeds. The securities include warrants to purchase 73,920,000 shares at an exercise price of $20.00 per share, which become exercisable after stockholders approve an increase in authorized common shares and may be cash settled after January 31, 2026 if stock is unavailable. If all common warrants are fully exercised for cash, Ondas could raise about $1.5 billion in additional gross proceeds, which it plans to use for corporate development and strategic growth, including acquisitions, joint ventures and investments. As of October 7, 2025, cash was about $843 million and common shares outstanding were 349,130,176, including the newly issued shares.

Positive

  • Significant capital infusion: Ondas raises approximately $407.2 million in net proceeds, bringing cash to about $843 million as of October 7, 2025, to fund corporate development and strategic growth, including acquisitions, joint ventures and investments.

Negative

  • Material potential dilution and overhang: The transaction includes common warrants to purchase 73,920,000 shares at $20.00 per share, creating a large future equity overhang if exercised, in addition to the new shares already issued in the offering.

Insights

Ondas raises major growth capital with sizable warrant overhang.

Ondas Holdings closed an underwritten equity transaction combining shares or pre-funded warrants with common stock warrants. Net proceeds are approximately $407.2 million at an offering price of $11.50 per share (or pre-funded warrant) plus accompanying warrants. The structure also includes common warrants to buy 73,920,000 shares at an exercise price of $20.00 per share.

As of October 7, 2025, Ondas reports a cash balance of approximately $843 million and 349,130,176 common shares outstanding, including the offering. If the common warrants are fully exercised for cash, the company states it could raise about $1.5 billion in additional gross proceeds. The company plans to use the net proceeds for corporate development and strategic growth, including acquisitions, joint ventures and investments.

The common warrants only become exercisable after stockholder approval to increase authorized common shares, and they may be cash settled after January 31, 2026 if common stock is not available for exercises. Actual warrant exercises will depend on future share availability, stockholder approval and market conditions, so the timing and extent of any further cash inflows or dilution from the warrants remain dependent on these factors.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 6, 2025, Ondas Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “Ondas”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., as representative of the several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), relating to the Company’s underwritten offering (the “Offering”) of (i) 19,560,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Company common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), or (ii) in lieu of Common Stock, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants,” together with the Shares, the “Common Stock Equivalents”) to purchase up to 17,400,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”). The Common Stock Equivalents were accompanied by warrants (the “Common Warrants,” together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase a total of 73,920,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrant Shares,” together with the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”).

 

The Shares and Warrants were offered, issued, and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus that form part of an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-290121), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and automatically became effective upon filing on September 9, 2025.

 

On October 7, 2025, the Company closed the Offering and issued the Shares and Warrants. The Offering price for (i) each Share and accompanying Common Warrant to purchase two (2) shares of Common Stock was $11.50 and (ii) each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrant to purchase two (2) shares of Common Stock was $11.50 (with a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per share remaining unpaid as of the issuance date). The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire seven years from the date of issuance. The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $20.00 per share, are exercisable upon the Company’s receipt of stockholder approval to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock and will expire seven years from the date of issuance. The Company has not reserved shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Warrants and does not expect to effect any exercise of the Common Warrants unless and until the Company’s receipt of stockholder approval to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock. The Common Warrants may be cash settled after January 31, 2026, if Common Stock is not then available to satisfy exercises. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are approximately $407.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company and excluding any proceeds that may be received from the exercise of the Warrants. If the Common Warrants are fully exercised on a cash basis, the Company has the potential to raise approximately $1.5 billion in additional gross proceeds. No assurance can be given that any of the Common Warrants will be exercised. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for corporate development and strategic growth, including acquisitions, joint ventures and investments.

 

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such Underwriting Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Underwriting Agreement and were subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
