Boston, MA / November 29, 2024 / Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) (“Ondas Holdings” or the “Company”), a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions, announced today that a note holder has elected to purchase $4.1 million in aggregate principal amount of 3% senior convertible notes due 2026 (the “Offering”).

Also, if elected by the note holder, Ondas Holdings may complete additional closings of up to an additional $30.4 million in aggregate principal amount.
