In a recent move to bolster its financial position, Ondas Holdings Inc. (ONDS), a Nevada-based manufacturer of radio and TV broadcasting and communications equipment with a market capitalization of $236 million, has secured an additional $1.7 million through a private investment. This transaction follows a previous $3.5 million investment in October. According to InvestingPro data, the company's current ratio of 0.43 indicates pressing liquidity needs, as short-term obligations exceed liquid assets.
On Monday, the company's subsidiary, Ondas Autonomous Systems Inc. ("OAS"), entered into an agreement with a private investor group for the sale of convertible promissory notes. The notes carry a 5% annual interest rate and are set to mature on September 30, 2025. They are also convertible into OAS securities under specific conditions. The financing comes as the company faces profitability challenges, with InvestingPro analysis showing negative earnings over the last twelve months.
The investor group includes entities affiliated with key figures in the company: Privet Ventures LLC, linked to Eric Brock, the Chairman and CEO of both Ondas Holdings and OAS, and Charles & Potomac Capital, LLC, connected to Joseph Popolo, a Board Member of Ondas Holdings. Notably, Charles & Potomac Capital acquired a total of $2.0 million in convertible notes across the October and December offerings.
This strategic financing is expected to be completed by January 3, 2025, with $100,000 of the December offering anticipated to be received by that date.
Ondas Holdings stock has shown significant momentum, gaining over 346% in the past six months. The information presented here is based on the company's recent SEC filing.
