Voluntary Reduction in Base Salary of Executive Officers and Change in Bonus

On March 27, 2020, in connection with the global health and economic crisis connected to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Compensation Committee of Ondas Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) approved a voluntary 90% reduction in the base salaries of both Eric A. Brock, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Stewart Kantor, its President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary. These reductions will be effective as of March 20, 2020 for a period of 60 days.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 20, 2020, in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company reduced its business activity to critical operations only, and furloughed 80% of its workforce, effective immediately. Furthermore, per orders issued by the Health Officer of the County of Santa Clara, the Company’s offices in Sunnyvale, California have been closed, except for functions related to the support of remote workers and product support related to the transportation sector. The affected workforce will continue as employees of the Company and will receive employer-sponsored health care benefits. The furloughed employees will not receive direct compensation from the Company during the furlough period; however, they will immediately become eligible for unemployment benefits.

Although the Company is currently attempting to take all reasonable steps to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company expects the ongoing, global economic impact from the COVID-19 pandemic to have an adverse impact on its revenue and adjusted EBITDA for at least the first and second quarter of 2020, and may also have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the remainder of 2020, however in neither case can the Company quantify or reasonably estimate any such impact at this time. The Company may also be unable to comply with the financial and other material covenants under its debt agreements and may not be able to negotiate waivers or amendments to such debt agreements in order to maintain ongoing compliance. In addition, if the Company experiences any additional unexpected delays in the resumption of its full operations, or incurs additional unanticipated costs and expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, such operational delays and unanticipated costs and expenses will have a further adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations in 2020.
