NOTE 11 – REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

On July 9, 2023, Ondas Networks entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with an initial purchaser named therein (the “Initial Purchaser”) to purchase preferred stock of Ondas Networks, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Networks Preferred Stock”) and the issuance of warrants to purchase 10,200,000 shares of Ondas Holdings (the “Original Networks Agreement”).

The Preferred Stock accrues dividends at the rate per annum of eight percent (8%) of the original issue price, of $34.955 per share (the “2023 Original Issue Price”). Such dividends are payable in cash or additional shares of Networks Preferred Stock, with such valuation based on the 2023 Original Issue Price. Each share of Networks 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 defined below) as is determined by dividing the 2023 Original Issue Price by the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion, which initially is set at $34.955. 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 Networks Preferred Stock shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The Networks Preferred Stock can be redeemed at the request of the holder at any time after the fifth anniversary for the greater of two times the initial investment plus accrued dividends or the amount that would be due if the Networks Preferred Stock was converted into Networks Common Stock as described above.

On July 21, 2023, Ondas Networks entered into a certain Amendment to Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Networks Amendment,” together with the Original Networks Agreement, the “2023 Networks Agreement”).
