• Shareholder Meeting Scheduled

  The Annual Meeting of Stockholders is scheduled for Thursday, May 28, 2026, where shareholders will vote on several key proposals.

• Proposed Authorized Share Increase

  Shareholders will vote on amending the company's charter to increase authorized common stock from 800,000,000 to 1,200,000,000 shares. This 400,000,000 share increase represents a potential dilution of over 80% relative to current outstanding shares, intended for future capital needs, acquisitions, and strategic growth.

• Proposed Incentive Plan Share Increase

  A proposal seeks to increase the shares authorized for issuance under the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan from 61,000,000 to 81,000,000 shares, adding 20,000,000 shares for equity compensation, representing approximately 4% potential dilution.

• Auditor Ratification

  Shareholders are asked to ratify the Audit Committee's selection of BDO USA, P.C. as the independent certified public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, following the dismissal of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A.

This definitive proxy statement finalizes the proposals for Ondas Inc.'s annual shareholder meeting on May 28, 2026. The most significant proposals include a request to increase authorized common stock by 400 million shares, from 800 million to 1.2 billion. If approved, this would represent a potential dilution of over 80% relative to the current outstanding shares, providing substantial headroom for future capital raises, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships. Additionally, the company seeks to increase the shares available under its 2021 Stock Incentive Plan by 20 million shares, adding another layer of potential dilution for employee compensation. While Ondas Inc. reported a strong cash position of over $1.4 billion, suggesting these authorizations are for growth initiatives rather than immediate liquidity needs, the sheer scale of potential dilution could be a concern for existing shareholders. This filing follows a preliminary proxy statement on April 10, 2026, which initially outlined these proposals.
