Insights

Equity & capital structure analyst

Ondas simplifies its OAS ownership but takes a large non-cash charge.

Ondas is consolidating its structure by exchanging OAS notes, warrants and OAS common stock into Ondas Holdings common stock. This involves issuing 5,299,482 shares on December 17, 2025 and approximately 2,389,203 shares on January 5, 2026, using the closing bid price from December 16, 2025 as the reference. Related parties participate, including Privet Ventures receiving 1,153,625 shares and Charles & Potomac Capital receiving 3,280,455 shares.

After these exchanges, Ondas will own roughly 99% of OAS on a fully diluted basis, leaving holders with about 1%. The company agreed to prepare prospectus supplements under Rule 424(b)(7) to permit resale of the new Ondas shares, which may influence future trading liquidity depending on holder decisions and market conditions. The shares were issued in reliance on Regulation D, indicating they were placed with accredited or otherwise eligible investors.

A key financial effect is an expected one-time, non-cash charge of approximately $56.6 million in the quarter ending December 31, 2025, to be reflected in full-year 2025 results. While non-cash, this charge will reduce reported earnings for that period. Subsequent company disclosures can clarify how this structural change and related resale capacity interact with its longer-term capital strategy.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, in 2024 Ondas Autonomous Systems Inc. (“OAS”), a subsidiary of Ondas Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), issued (i) convertible promissory notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $5.2 million (the “Notes”) to a private investor group, including (a) Privet Ventures LLC, an entity affiliated with Eric Brock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and sole director and Co-Chief Executive Officer of OAS (“Privet”), and (b) Charles & Potomac Capital, LLC, an entity affiliated with a former director of the Company (“C&P”), and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 3,616,071 shares of OAS common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “OAS Common Stock”), to a private investor group, including C&P.

On December 17, 2025, the Company and OAS entered into exchange agreements (collectively, the “Exchange Agreements”), by and between the Company, OAS and certain holders of the Notes, Warrants, and OAS Common Stock issued by virtue of previously exercised Warrants (collectively, the “Holders”), pursuant to which the Holders converted their Notes and/or exercised their Warrants on a cashless basis into shares of OAS Common Stock and promptly thereafter exchanged such shares of OAS Common Stock (including those shares previously issued by virtue of previously exercised Warrants) for shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“ONDS Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Exchange”). At each Holder’s election, the Holder could elect to defer the closing of the Exchange to January 5, 2026, as the Company and the Holder may agree. Seven of the eleven Holders that elected to participate in the Exchange, elected to defer their closing to January 5, 2026.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, (i) on December 17, 2025 we issued 5,299,482 shares of ONDS Common Stock to certain Holders and (ii) on January 5, 2026, we will issue approximately 2,389,203 shares of ONDS Common Stock to certain Holders, based on the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on December 16, 2025. Pursuant to their respective Exchange Agreements, (i) Privet will be issued 1,153,625 shares of ONDS Common Stock on January 5, 2026 and (ii) C&P was issued 3,280,455 shares of ONDS Common Stock on December 17, 2025. After giving effect to the Exchange, the Company owns approximately 99% of OAS and the Holders own approximately 1% of OAS on a fully diluted basis. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), providing for the resale of the ONDS Common Stock, subject to the trading limitation described in the Exchange Agreement.

The issuances of the ONDS Common Stock issued and to be issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreements are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in accordance with Regulation D thereunder.

The foregoing description of the Exchange and the Exchange Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Exchange Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

A copy of the opinion of Snell & Wilmer L.L.P. relating to the legality of the issuance of the ONDS Common Stock issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreements is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Also, the Company has updated its preliminary analysis of the impact of the Exchange and as a result the Company expects that it will record in the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2025 a one-time, non-cash charge, which will be reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ending December 31, 2025. After giving effect to the Exchange, the non-cash charge is currently estimated to be approximately $56.6 million.
