Ondas Inc. 2022 Convertible Exchange Notes, 2023 Additional Notes, and 2024 Additional Notes

 

In 2022, 2023 and 2024, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which we issued convertible notes. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026 for a full description. As of December 31, 2025, the convertible notes were repaid in full.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized interest expense of $332 thousand and amortization expense of $2.7 million related to the debt discount and issuance costs for convertible notes. Interest expense and amortization expense related to debt discount and issuance costs are included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

SPO Convertible Capital Notes

 

In connection with the acquisition of SPO in October 2025, the Company assumed outstanding convertible capital notes issued by SPO (the “SPO Convertible Capital Notes”). Immediately prior to the acquisition, the SPO Convertible Capital Notes were held entirely by the existing shareholders of SPO. Upon acquisition, 51% of the outstanding SPO Convertible Capital Notes, corresponding to the Company’s ownership interest, were considered intercompany balances and therefore eliminated in consolidation. The remaining 49% of the SPO Convertible Capital Notes, held by noncontrolling interest holders, remain outstanding and are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Concurrent with the acquisition, the SPO Convertible Capital Notes were amended to include the following terms: (i) any repayment of the SPO Convertible Capital Notes is subject to prior written consent of the Company, as the majority shareholder of SPO, (ii) the Company, as the majority shareholder of SPO, has the right, at its sole discretion, to require conversion of any or all SPO Convertible Capital Notes into common shares of SPO after a minimum holding period of five years from the original issuance date of the SPO Convertible Capital Notes, but no earlier than January 1, 2027, at a conversion price reflecting the fair market value of SPO’s common shares as determined by SPO’s board of directors at the relevant time and (iii) each holder of the SPO Convertible Capital Notes may assign all or a portion of its SPO Convertible Capital Notes solely to a transferee of SPO common shares on a pro rata basis, in proportion to the number of shares transferred.

 

The SPO Convertible Capital Notes do not bear interest and do not have a stated maturity date. The SPO Convertible Capital Notes were accounted for as part of the business combination in accordance with ASC 805 and were initially measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. Because the SPO Convertible Capital Notes are non-interest-bearing and their settlement is contingent upon the timing of future conversion or repayment, the Company recorded the noncontrolling interest portion of the SPO Convertible Capital Notes at a discount to face value.

 

Subsequent to initial recognition, the outstanding portion of the SPO Convertible Capital Notes is accounted for as a liability and measured at amortized cost. The Company accretes the discount to the SPO Convertible Capital Notes’ face value using the effective interest method, with the resulting accretion recognized as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total outstanding balance of the SPO Convertible Capital Notes subject to repayment or conversion by noncontrolling interest holders was $3.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $381 thousand of accretion, which is included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Ondas Networks Convertible Notes

 

On July 8, 2024 and July 23, 2024, Charles & Potomac Capital, LLC, (“C&P”), an entity affiliated with Joseph Popolo, a former director of the Company, elected to purchase Convertible Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $700 thousand and $800 thousand, respectively, (the “July Networks Convertible Notes”). The July Networks Convertible Notes are convertible into common stock of Ondas Networks at $0.00001 par value per share (“Networks Common Stock”) or Preferred Stock under certain conditions. The Company used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which includes funding capital expenditures and working capital. The July Networks Convertible Notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum.

 

On November 13, 2024, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 13, 2024, by and between Ondas Networks and a private investor group (the “November Networks SPA”), multiple investors elected to purchase Convertible Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $2.1 million (the “November Networks Convertible Notes”), of which $1 million was purchased by C&P. The November Networks Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of Networks Common Stock or preferred stock of Ondas Networks at $0.00001 par value per share (“Networks Preferred Stock”) under certain conditions. The Company used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which includes funding capital expenditures and working capital.

 

On January 15, 2025, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 15, 2025, by and between Ondas Networks, the Company, and a private investor group(the “January Networks SPA,” together with the November Networks SPA, the “Networks SPA”), multiple investors elected to purchase Convertible Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $2.9 million (the “January 2025 Networks Convertible Notes,” together with the July Networks Convertible Notes and November Networks Convertible Notes, the “Ondas Networks Convertible Notes”), of which $2 million was from the Company. The November Networks Convertible Notes and January 2025 Networks Convertible Notes will (i) bear an interest rate of 10% per annum, (ii) have an amended maturity date of December 31, 2025, (iii) be secured by all assets of Ondas Networks, provided however such secured obligation shall be subordinate to that certain secured note, dated September 3, 2024, by and between Ondas Networks and C&P, and (iv) at the option of C&P be convertible into equity securities of Ondas Networks upon the closing (a) a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the November Networks Convertible Notes and January 2025 Networks Convertible Notes) or (b) a subsequent offering of securities of Ondas Networks. The $2.0 million in Convertible Notes held by the Company has been eliminated in the consolidated financials.

 

On November 13, 2024 and January 15, 2025, in connection with the November Networks Convertible Notes and January 2025 Networks Convertible Notes, respectively, Ondas Networks issued the investors warrants (“Networks Warrants”) to purchase $2.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in shares of Networks Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $20.65 per share, of which $2 million is to the Company and has been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The number of warrants exercisable under the Networks SPA is calculated by $5 million divided by the Conversion Price, which is the amount equal to the price per share of the most senior series of Networks Preferred Stock issued to investors in Ondas Networks’ next equity financing date, or if none, then $41.3104. The warrants are exercisable commencing November 13, 2024 through November 13, 2029 and January 15, 2025 through January 15, 2030, respectively. The Company engaged a third-party service provider to carry out an appraisal of the warrants, who ran a Black-Scholes Model to determine the fair value of the warrants as of November 13, 2024 and January 15, 2025, which were $1.2 million and $549 thousand, respectively. The initial valuation was assigned to the November Networks Convertible Notes and January 2025 Networks Convertible Notes and the warrants based on their relative fair values, resulting in a total relative fair value of $1.1 million for the warrants, which was recorded as a debt discount.

 

In the event Ondas Networks consummates an additional equity financing prior to the maturity date, the principal balance and unpaid accrued interest on the Ondas Networks Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the Investor into conversion shares upon closing of the next round of equity financing.

 

On July 3, 2025, the Company amended the Ondas Networks Convertible Notes to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2025. The amendment was accounted for as a debt modification under ASC 470-50.

As of December 31, 2025, the total outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Ondas Networks Convertible Notes was $4.5 million and $456 thousand, respectively. Accrued interest is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized interest expense of $121 thousand and amortization expense of $334 thousand related to debt discount and issuance costs.

 

On January 16, 2026, Ondas Networks consummated an additional equity financing round. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Networks Warrants and the principal balance and accrued interest on the Ondas Networks Convertible Notes were converted into shares of Networks Preferred Stock.

 

As a result of the additional equity financing round, during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company determined that it no longer held a controlling financial interest in Ondas Networks. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated Ondas Networks effective January 16, 2026 and no longer includes the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Ondas Networks in its consolidated financial statements subsequent to that date. Refer to Note 1 - Deconsolidation of subsidiary for additional information.

  

OAS Convertible Notes

 

In October and December 2024, multiple investors (collectively, the “Holders”) elected to purchase convertible notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $5.2 million, (the “OAS Convertible Notes”), of which $2 million was purchased by C&P and $1 million was purchased by Privet Ventures LLC, an entity affiliated with Eric Brock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and OAS. The OAS Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of OAS common stock, par value per share $0.0001 (the “OAS Common Stock”), or preferred stock under certain conditions. The Company used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which includes funding capital expenditures and working capital. The OAS Convertible Notes bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum. On September 29, 2025, the Company amended the OAS Convertible Notes to extend the maturity date from September 30, 2025, to January 1, 2026. The amendment was accounted for as a debt modification under ASC 470-50.

 

On December 17, 2025, the Company and OAS entered into agreements with the Holders of the OAS Convertible Notes to convert the principal and accrued interest outstanding as of November 30, 2025 into OAS Common Stock under the original conversion terms of the OAS Convertible Notes, at a conversion price of $0.7189, which was equal to the quotient resulting from dividing (x) the Valuation Cap of $65 million by (y) the fully diluted shares outstanding as of November 30, 2025 (the “OAS Exchange”).

At each Holder’s election, the Holder could elect to defer the conversion 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, (the “January Converters”). For the year ended December 31, 2025, OAS converted $3.3 million and $173 thousand of principal and accrued interest, respectively, into OAS Common Stock for four of the eleven Holders, including C&P, (the “December Converters”). Immediately following the conversion, the OAS Common Stock was exchanged for Common Stock. OAS made cash payments of $33 thousand to the December Converters, representing accrued interest on the OAS Convertible Notes from December 1 to December 16, 2025.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the total outstanding principal on the OAS Convertible Notes was $1.9 million. As of December 31, 2025, accrued interest was $110 thousand, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

On January 5, 2026, OAS converted the remaining $1.9 million and $110 thousand of principal and accrued interest, respectively, into common shares of OAS for the January Converters, which were immediately exchanged for Ondas Inc. Common Stock.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized interest expense of $64 thousand and amortization expense of $12 thousand related to the issuance costs, which are included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Ondas Networks Secured Note

 

On September 3, 2024, Ondas Networks entered into a Security Note Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with C&P, in which, Ondas Networks may draw, and C&P shall loan Ondas Networks, up to $1.5 million (the “Networks Secured Loan”). Pursuant to the Security Agreement, Networks issued C&P a secured note in the amount of $1.5 million, which amount may be increased or decreased by the mutual written agreement of the parties thereto (the “Ondas Networks Secured Note”). The Ondas Networks Secured Note (i) bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum, (ii) has an amended maturity date of December 31, 2027, and (iii) is secured by all assets of Ondas Networks.

 

On September 3, 2024 and October 7, 2024, pursuant to the C&P Security Agreement, Ondas Networks issued C&P warrants to purchase $1 million and $500 thousand, respectively, in shares of Ondas Networks Preferred Stock, at an exercise price of $20.65 per share. The number of warrants exercisable under the C&P Security Agreement is calculated by $1.5 million divided by the Conversion Price, which is the amount equal to the price per share of the most senior series of Ondas Networks Preferred Stock issued to investors in Ondas Networks’ next equity financing date, or if none, then $41.3104. The warrants are exercisable commencing September 3, 2024 through September 3, 2029 and October 7, 2024 through October 7, 2029, respectively. The Company engaged a third-party service provider to carry out an appraisal of the warrants, who ran a Black-Scholes Model to determine the fair value of the warrants as of September 3, 2024 and October 7, 2024, which were $590 thousand and $295 thousand, respectively. The initial valuation was allocated to the Ondas Networks Secured Note and the warrants based on their relative fair values, resulting in a total relative fair value of $557 thousand for the warrants, which was recorded as a debt discount.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the total outstanding principal on the Ondas Networks Secured Note was $1.5 million. Accrued interest as of December 31, 2025 was $155 thousand, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized interest expense of $30 thousand and amortization expense of $227 thousand related to the debt discount and issuance costs. Interest expense and amortization expense related to issuance costs are included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Effective January 16, 2026, the Company determined that it no longer held a controlling financial interest in Ondas Networks and no longer includes the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Ondas Networks in the condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to that date.
