Insights

Equity & Capital Structure Analyst

Ondas’ subsidiary raises $8.4M via preferred stock and restructures existing investor claims into equity-like instruments.

The transaction channels $8.4 million into Ondas Networks Inc. through Series B preferred stock, with approximately $6.0 million from Ondas Inc. itself and about $2.0 million from Charles & Potomac Capital. Of the total, 303,250 preferred shares are purchased for cash at $27.70 per share, while 667,551 preferred shares arise from converting prior convertible notes and warrants, consolidating several earlier financings into one preferred class.

The preferred stock has an 8% annual dividend on the original issue price, payable only if declared by Networks’ board, and is convertible into Networks common stock at an initial conversion price of $27.70. This structure creates an equity-like security with priority and potential yield, while preserving upside through conversion. The amendment extending the $1.5 million secured note maturity to December 31, 2027 lengthens the debt timeline for that investor relationship.

Because the financing is a private placement relying on Section 4(2) and Regulation D and involves accredited investors, it avoids public registration requirements. The related investors’ rights, right of first refusal, and voting agreements dated January 16, 2026 formalize governance and exit-related rights for this investor group, which can influence future capital and control dynamics at the Networks subsidiary.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 16, 2026, Ondas Networks Inc., a Texas corporation (“Networks”) and subsidiary of Ondas Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Networks Agreement”) for an investment of $8.4 million in Networks (the “Networks Offering”). The Networks Agreement was entered into with the purchasers named therein (the “Purchasers”) for the sale of shares of preferred stock for a purchase of $8.4 million. The Networks Offering was consummated on January 16, 2026.

As previously disclosed, (i) on July 8, 2024 and July 23, 2024, Charles & Potomac Capital, LLC (“C&P”) purchased convertible notes, as amended, from Networks in the aggregate original principal amount of $700,000 and $800,000, respectively (the “July 2024 Notes”), (ii) on November 13, 2024, Networks entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “November 2024 SPA”), by and between Networks and a private investor group, including C&P, pursuant to which the private investor group purchased secured convertible promissory notes, as amended, from Networks in the aggregate amount of $2.07 million (the “November Notes”), and (iii) on January 15, 2025, Networks entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “January 2025 SPA”), by and between Networks and a private investor group pursuant to which the private investor group purchased secured convertible promissory notes, as amended, from Networks in the aggregate amount of $2.93 million (the “January Notes,” together with the July 2024 Notes and the November Notes, the “Convertible Notes”). Additionally, the Company and Networks previously entered into those certain Secured Note Agreements (the "Ondas Agreements"), pursuant to which, the Company loaned Networks an aggregate of $10.0 million. Pursuant to the Ondas Agreements, C&P Agreement (as defined below), the November 2024 SPA and the January 2025 SPA, Networks issued the investor groups warrants to purchase 399,415 shares of preferred stock of Networks, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at an exercise price of $20.65 per share and exercisable commencing on the date of issuance through the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Warrants”).

Pursuant to the Networks Agreement, the Purchasers would acquire the following in the Networks Offering for gross proceeds to Networks of $8.4 million, which included approximately $6.0 million from the Company and approximately $2.0 from C&P, as Purchasers: (i) 303,250 shares of Preferred Stock (the “Purchased Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $27.70 per share (the “Per Share Price”), convertible into shares of Common Stock, $0.00001 par value per share of Networks (the “Networks Common Stock”) and (ii) 667,551 shares of Preferred Stock (the “Converted Preferred Stock,” together with the Purchased Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), convertible into shares of the Networks Common Stock, upon the exercise of the Warrants and the conversion of the Convertible Notes.

The Preferred Stock accrues dividends at the rate per annum of eight percent (8%) of the original issue price, of $27.70 per share (the “Original Issue Price”). Dividends shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by the board of directors of Networks and Networks shall be under no obligation to pay such dividends. Such dividends are payable in cash or additional shares of Preferred Stock, with such valuation based on the Original Issue Price. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Networks Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price by the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion, which initially is set at $27.70. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the number of shares of Networks Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

Pursuant to the Networks Agreement, the Purchasers became parties to those certain investors’ rights agreement, right of first refusal agreement, and voting agreement, dated January 16, 2026. Forms of each of these agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4 and incorporated herein by reference.

The issuance of the Preferred Stock was exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) of such Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder based upon the representations of each of the Purchasers that it was an “accredited investor” (as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D) and that it was purchasing such securities without a present view toward a distribution of the securities. In addition, there was no general advertisement conducted in connection with the sale of the Preferred Stock.
