trading for VisionWave Holdings, Inc (Nasdaq:VWAV), a technology

VisionWave

order from Metal Machinery Components Trading FZCO, a trading company
registered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (the “Customer”), for 200 STRATUM
VARAN heavy wheeled unmanned ground vehicles at an aggregate base purchase
price of $20 million. The Customer is not the end user of the vehicles and has
advised the Company that it may act in relation to more than one prospective
end user, each of which must be disclosed to and approved by VisionWave.
VisionWave’s obligations to commence production, incur procurement commitments
or make any delivery are subject to conditions that have not been satisfied, as
described below.

Editorial relevance to defense sector:
VisionWave’s STRATUM VARAN order is relevant because a multi-batch
commercial purchase of this size is a rare external signal that buyers see a
modular, AI-enabled UGV as operationally useful rather than experimental. If
the conditions close, 200 vehicles is enough to matter at unit level: training
pipelines, tactics, sustainment, and sensor-to-shooter software all get a real
fleet instead of a handful of prototypes. That is why the announcement lands in
the same conversation as broader defense modernization—autonomy, electronic sensing,
and attritable ground mass—while investors and operators should still treat it
as a conditional milestone, not booked revenue.
If and
when certain conditions are satisfied or waived, deliveries are contemplated in
three batches — 70 vehicles within 12 months, 70 vehicles in months 13 through
24 and 60 vehicles in months 25 through 36 — in each case measured from the
date on which the last condition is satisfied or waived, and not from the date
of the purchase order or of this release.
The
purchase order provides for an advance payment of $2 million, representing 10%
of the order value, to be secured by an advance-payment bank guarantee, with
the balance payable against production, inspection and acceptance, and delivery
milestones for each batch. The terms of the bank guarantee have not been
agreed, and VisionWave has not received the advance payment or any other amount
under the purchase order.
VisionWave’s
performance under the purchase order is subject to the satisfaction, or written
waiver by VisionWave, of a number of conditions, including delivery by the
Customer of documentary proof of immediately available funds or committed
financing sufficient to cover the full order value; agreement on the form,
issuing bank, expiry and draw conditions of an advance-payment bank guarantee
and receipt of the advance payment in cleared funds; receipt of all export
licences, authorisations, end-user documentation and governmental approvals
required in the United States, the country of manufacture, the United Arab
Emirates and each jurisdiction of end use; and completion, to VisionWave’s
satisfaction, of sanctions, anti-money-laundering, anti-bribery,
export-control, beneficial-ownership and end-user compliance review. No
production, procurement or delivery obligation arises, and no delivery
milestone begins to run, until the last of those conditions is satisfied or
waived. As of the date of this release, none of those conditions has been
satisfied, and VisionWave can give no assurance as to whether or when any of
them will be satisfied.
“An order
of this size is an important commercial validation for the STRATUM VARAN
platform,” said Douglas Davis, Chief Executive Officer of VisionWave. “We are
working with the customer to satisfy the funding, security and regulatory
conditions that must be met before production can begin, and we intend to
report on that progress as it develops.”
VisionWave
has not recognized any revenue in respect of the purchase order and does not
include the order in backlog. Revenue, if any, will be recognized only as the
applicable performance obligations are satisfied. Investors should not regard
the aggregate order value as a firm order or as an indication of expected
revenue in any period. Additional information regarding the purchase order is
contained in VisionWave’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2026, which should be read together
with this release.

This
press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as
“anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,”
“potential,” “project,” “schedule,” “should,” “will” and similar expressions,
and include, without limitation, statements regarding the purchase order, the
anticipated advance payment, the satisfaction of conditions, production,
governmental, regulatory and export approvals, end-user approvals,
manufacturing, delivery schedules, the demonstration and qualification of the
STRATUM VARAN platform, the commercialization of that platform and VisionWave’s
future business activities.
Forward-looking
statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed or implied, including, among others: the Customer’s
ability and willingness to deliver documentary proof of immediately available
funds or committed financing for the full order value; the parties’ ability to
agree the form and terms of, and to cause an acceptable bank to issue, the
advance-payment bank guarantee, and the Customer’s ability to pay each milestone
when due; VisionWave’s ability to obtain the export licenses, authorizations,
end-user certificates and governmental approvals required in the United States,
the country of manufacture, the United Arab Emirates and each jurisdiction of
end use; the results of VisionWave’s sanctions, anti-money-laundering,
anti-bribery, export-control, beneficial-ownership and end-user compliance
review, including in respect of prospective end users in jurisdictions affected
by ongoing armed conflict; the identification and approval of acceptable end
users and the risk that end users are not approved or that approval is
withdrawn; the results of the platform demonstration and the risk that
requirements identified in that demonstration materially alter the base
configuration, cost, schedule or qualification requirements; VisionWave’s
ability to establish, finance and qualify manufacturing capacity, including any
required local manufacturing or industrial participation, and to procure
long-lead components on acceptable terms; increases in component, raw material,
logistics and tariff costs; VisionWave’s dependence on a single customer and on
intermediaries for this order; and VisionWave’s limited operating history,
limited revenue to date, recurring losses, need for additional capital and the
dilution associated with its existing and future financing arrangements.

be no assurance that the conditions under the purchase order will be satisfied
on any anticipated timetable or at all, that the advance payment will be received,
that required governmental, regulatory, export or end-user approvals will be
obtained, that production will commence, or that all or any portion of the
purchase order will result in completed deliveries, recognized revenue or
earnings.
