EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons on August 29, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on November 24, 2023 (as so amended, the “Original Schedule 13D” and as amended by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”) relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of Ondas Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”). Defined terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings prescribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D. Any reference in the Original Schedule 13D to any item in the Original Schedule 13D shall be deemed to refer to such item as amended by this Amendment.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:
On February 26, 2024, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Issuer Agreement”), dated as of February 26, 2024, by and among C&P, the Issuer and other parties thereto, C&P purchased from the Issuer 1,785,714 Shares at a purchase price of $1.12 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 and, in connection therewith, Ondas Autonomous Holdings, Inc. (“OAH”), a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer, issued to C&P warrants to purchase 1,785,714 shares of capital stock of OAH.
Also on February 26, 2024, pursuant to a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Networks Agreement”), dated as of February 26, 2024, by and among C&P, Ondas Networks and other parties thereto, C&P purchased 6,051 shares of preferred stock of Ondas Networks, at a purchase price of $41.3104 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000 and, in connection therewith, the Issuer issued to C&P warrants to purchase 167,500 Shares at an exercise price of $1.26, on a one-to-one basis (the “February 2024 Warrants”). The February 2024 Warrants are exercisable beginning on May 26, 2024.
The source of funds for the above-referenced transactions was capital contributions to C&P from its investors. No borrowed funds were used to purchase the Shares and February 2024 Warrants.
The description of (i) the Issuer Agreement, (ii) the Networks Agreement and (iii) the February 2024 Warrants included in the Schedule 13D does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of (a) the form of Issuer Agreement, (b) the form of the Networks Agreement and (c) the form of February 2024 Warrants, respectively, which are filed as Exhibits 7, 8 and 9, respectively, to the Schedule 13D and incorporated by reference herein.
The net investment cost to purchase the Shares upon the exercise of the February 2024 Warrants is expected to be $211,050. Funds to acquire the Shares upon the exercise of the February 2024 Warrants are expected to be capital contributions to C&P from its investors.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
The Reporting Persons purchased, or caused the SPV to purchase, the Shares, the Warrants, the Subsequent Warrants and the February 2024 Warrants for investment purposes. Except that the Reporting Persons may (i) cause the SPV to appoint to the five-member board of directors of Ondas Networks (A) two directors (one of which directors currently is Popolo) for so long as SPV and its affiliates continue to own beneficially any shares of common stock of Ondas Networks (including shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock of Ondas Networks) and (B) one independent director who must also be acceptable to the common stockholders of Ondas Networks, and (ii) exercise, or cause the SPV to exercise, the Warrants, the Subsequent Warrants and the February 2024 Warrants in accordance with their respective terms to purchase the applicable Shares, the Reporting Persons have no present plans which relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons reserve the right, in light of their ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s financial condition, business, operations and prospects, the market price of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets generally, general economic and industry conditions, its business objectives and other relevant factors, to change their plans and intentions at any time, as they deem appropriate. In addition, the Reporting Persons (and their affiliates) reserve the right, subject to any applicable law, to enter into privately negotiated derivative transactions with institutional counterparties to hedge the market risk of some or all of their positions in the securities of the Issuer.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Item 5(a) – (b) of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) – (b) The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the cover page of this Amendment (including footnotes thereto) is incorporated herein by reference. The Related Party, as the Managing Member of C&P, is deemed to share voting and dispositive power over, and therefore is deemed to beneficially own, 13,383,244 Shares that are beneficially owned by C&P, which represent 17.66% of the Shares outstanding. The Reporting Persons’ and the Related Party’s beneficial ownership percentage is calculated using 65,561,484 Shares outstanding as of February 26, 2024, as reported on the Issuer’s prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on February 26, 2024, supplementing the Form S-3 initially filed by the Issuer with the SEC on February 2, 2024 and declared effective on February 15, 2024, and added to that number, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, 10,200,000 Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Reporting Persons’ Warrants and the Subsequent Warrants.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

On February 26, 2024, the Issuer and C&P entered into a registration rights agreement (the “February 2024 RRA”) with respect to the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the February 2024 Warrants. The February 2024 RRA requires the Issuer to, among other things, file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the February 2024 Warrants no later 180 calendar days following February 26, 2024, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as promptly as possible thereafter. The Issuer has agreed to bear all expenses of such registration.
The description of the February 2024 RRA included in the Schedule 13D does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the February 2024 RRA, which are filed as Exhibit 10 to the Schedule 13D and incorporated by reference herein.
