No Offer or Solicitation

This report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, by Ondas, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful before the registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state. Any offering of the securities will only be by means of a statutory prospectus meeting the requirements of the rules and regulations of the SEC and applicable law or in accordance with an applicable exemption from the registration requirements thereof.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements made in this report that are not statements of historical or current facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Ondas cautions readers that forward-looking statements are predictions based on its current expectations about future events. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements made in this report regarding the proposed transaction contemplated by the definitive agreement, including the benefits of the transaction, revenue opportunities, anticipated future financial and operating performance, and results, including expectations for growth, and the expected timing of the transaction. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of Ondas' control. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (1) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the transaction; (2) the failure to obtain financing required to complete the transaction; (3) the inability to complete the transaction, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Ondas, required regulatory approvals, or satisfy other conditions to closing in the definitive agreement; (4) the risk that the transaction disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transaction; (5) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of management to integrate the combined company's business and operation, and the ability of the parties to retain key employees; (6) costs related to the transaction; (7) risks relating to the uncertainty of pro forma and projected financial information with respect to the combined company; and (8) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the preliminary and definitive proxy statements to be filed with the SEC relating to the transaction, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in Ondas' other filings with the SEC. Ondas cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Ondas cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Ondas does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law. Ondas gives no assurance that after the transaction the combined company will achieve its expectations.
