VisionWave Holdings, Inc. Announces \$20 Million Senior Loan and Issuance of Warrants

Key Points from the SEC Filing

• Material Definitive Agreement: On February 26, 2026, VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (“the Company”) entered into a Letter Agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. (“the Investor”), securing a \$20,000,000 senior loan on specific terms and conditions.
• Loan Structure: The loan is delivered with a 15% discount to principal, meaning net proceeds to the Company will be less than the headline \$20 million. The Investor will wire funds minus this discount.
• Warrant Issuance: The Company issued a warrant to purchase 1,333,333 Common Shares, exercisable for 5 years. The warrant is a significant equity-linked instrument and may impact the Company’s future dilution and share supply.
• Conversion Features: The senior loan (Promissory Note) is convertible into Common Shares at a price equal to 90% of the lowest daily VWAP over the 10 trading days prior to conversion, but not lower than \$1.60 per share. This “floor price” protects against extreme dilution but still allows for conversion at potentially significant discounts to the market.
• Registration Rights: The Company is not required to register shares issuable upon conversion of the Note immediately, but must register shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The Investor has demand registration rights covering all shares underlying the Note and Warrant, triggering mandatory SEC filings in certain circumstances.
• Use of Proceeds: Proceeds from the Loan are subject to restrictions, including limitations on variable rate transactions and additional indebtedness without Investor consent.
• Events of Default: The agreement outlines events of default, including untimely SEC filings, breaches of representations, use of proceeds for margin stock, and material breaches of covenants. Upon default, the Investor gains additional rights, including conversion rights.
• Structuring and Due Diligence Fee: The Company will pay a \$25,000 structuring and due diligence fee to the Investor, drawn from loan proceeds.
• Principal Market Limitation: The Company cannot issue more than 19.99% of its outstanding shares under the Warrant unless shareholder approval is obtained per Nasdaq rules. This limits dilution unless the Company secures shareholder approval.
• Price Sensitive Provisions:
  • The conversion price formula may result in significant dilution if the share price falls.
  • The warrant registration and issuance can increase supply and pressure the share price.
  • The demand registration rights and mandatory resale registration statements may trigger additional selling pressure.
  • The Company is not required to modify the existing registration statement to include shares underlying the Note or Warrant immediately, but must do so if the Investor demands.
  • Any issuance of shares below market price or conversion of the Note at a discount may be viewed negatively by shareholders.
• India Joint Venture Recital: An amendment to an Investment and Share Purchase Agreement clarifies that the sole purpose for the Buyer entering into the agreement is to facilitate a joint venture in India between the Company and Belrise Industries Limited. The execution of definitive agreements with Belrise is essential to the Buyer’s rationale for acquiring shares.

Implications for Shareholders

Potential Dilution: The issuance of convertible notes and warrants may significantly increase the number of shares outstanding, especially if the share price declines. Conversion at a discount to market and exercise of warrants may put downward pressure on the stock price.

Mandatory Registration and Resale: Demand registration rights mean the Company may be forced to register and facilitate resale of large blocks of shares, increasing supply and potentially affecting share value.

India Joint Venture: The amended recital in the share purchase agreement underscores the strategic importance of establishing a joint venture in India. If this JV does not materialize, it may impact the Buyer’s rationale for acquiring shares, which could be price sensitive.

Events of Default: Any default under the agreement can trigger accelerated conversion rights, further increasing dilution and potentially impacting share price.

Shareholder Approval: The Company is capped at 19.99% share issuance under Nasdaq rules unless it receives shareholder approval. If approval is sought and granted, dilution could be much greater.

Additional Details

• Warrants and conversion mechanics are subject to beneficial ownership limits (Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act).

• Closing is contingent on satisfaction of multiple conditions precedent, including execution of all transaction documents, delivery of compliance certificates, legal opinions, board approvals, and absence of trading suspensions or regulatory prohibitions.

Potential Share Price Impact

• Share price may be affected by the prospect of dilution from warrant exercise and note conversion.
• Registration and resale of shares could increase supply in the market, impacting share value.
• Investor protections and events of default can accelerate dilution.
• The India JV is strategically important; any developments may be material to share value.
