SCHEDULE 13D

 

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons on August 29, 2023 (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 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

 

Item 2(c) of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(c) C&P is a private investment firm focused on technology, energy, healthcare, media, and real estate. With investments in private equity and venture capital funds, as well as direct investments, C&P provides capital and management expertise to businesses around the globe. Popolo’s present principal occupation is the Chief Executive Officer of C&P. The Related Party is a family office-affiliated entity that manages investments held by multiple entities, including C&P.

 

The SPV directly holds the Warrants and the Subsequent Warrants. C&P has voting and dispositive power over the Warrants and the Subsequent Warrants and thus is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Act) of 10,200,000 Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Subsequent Warrants. The SPV does not have the right to obtain voting or dispositive power over such Shares within 60 days, and therefore is not deemed to beneficially own such Shares under Rule 13d-3 of the Act.  As the control person of C&P, Popolo is deemed to share voting and dispositive power over such Shares, as well as the Shares directly owned by C&P.

 

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:

 

For investment purpose, Popolo acquired an aggregate of 1,032,950 Shares in a series of open market purchases (as set forth in the table below) for an aggregate purchase price of $945,621.87, excluding brokerage commissions. The source of these funds was his personal savings.

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, 11,597,530 Shares that are beneficially owned by C&P, which represent 16.93% of the Shares outstanding. The Reporting Persons’ and the Related Party’s beneficial ownership percentage is calculated using 58,311,317 Shares outstanding as of November 13, 2023, as reported on the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 14, 2023, 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 Subsequent Warrants.
