WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 9, 2026 /CNW/ – VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VWAV) (“VisionWave” or the “Company”), an advanced sensing technology company developing AI-driven, RF-based sensing and computational acceleration technologies for defense and commercial uses, today announced it has executed a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed strategic acquisition of controlling interest in Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: FRSX). According to the Agreement, VisionWave will acquire up to 52% of Foresight’s outstanding shares in exchange for $17.5 million in VisionWave’s shares of common stock.

The definitive agreement with Foresight will add important sensing technology to the Company’s STRATUM™ SENSE suite of sensing technologies, and follows the Company’s latest acquisition of the xClibre™ AI video intelligence IP portfolio, which was independently valued at approximately $60 million by BDO Consulting Group as of the acquisition date for financial reporting purposes. This valuation is based on certain assumptions and methodologies and does not necessarily represent current fair market value, future realizable value, or the amount at which the assets could be sold or monetized.

Modern defense and security environments demand sensing systems that can detect, identify, classify, and act – quickly and across multiple domains simultaneously. With the definitive agreement now in place, VisionWave is positioned to deliver the architecture with enhanced performance.

Optical and Thermal Computer Vision Sensing Layer

Foresight’s camera-based stereo and thermal perception, proven across automotive and defense programs

AI Video Intelligence

xClibre™ behavioral analytics- turning existing camera infrastructure into continuously-learning AI agents

The convergence of these three layers, RF detection, multi-spectral computer vision, and AI-driven video analytics, produces a perception capability beyond what any single-modality company can deliver. RF tells you something is there. Foresight’s optics tell you where it is and how it’s moving. xClibre tells you what it’s doing and whether it is a threat.

Today, perception technology across defense and security is fragmented. RF specialists don’t build video AI. Video AI vendors don’t build RF. Autonomous systems integrators buy from multiple vendors and stitch together incompatible stacks. With this definitive agreement executed, it is VisionWave’s goal to eliminate this fragmentation and deliver a unified, superior multi-modal perception platform, for use with any UxV (Unmanned X Vehicle).

TRANSACTION SUMMARY

Under the agreement, VisionWave will acquire a controlling interest of up to 52% stake in Foresight through a two-stage share exchange: 46% of Foresight’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares upon Stage 1 Closing (expected within 45-60 days), with the right to an additional 6% upon achievement of a defined commercial milestone – the commencement of a binding pilot project integrating the Perception Platform in the commercial, defense, or security sector. In exchange, VisionWave will issue newly issued shares of its common stock with an aggregate value of approximately $17.5 million (calculated based on the five-day volume-weighted average price preceding each closing), plus up to $3 million in management equity grants. VisionWave will also gain significant board representation, with the right to designate two directors to Foresight’s Board upon Stage 1 Closing and one additional director upon Stage 2 Closing. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, Nasdaq listing requirements (if applicable), and any required shareholder approvals.

Both companies will continue to operate as independent, publicly traded entities. The transaction positions VisionWave to establish its core operating platform for RF-focused perception systems and related defense, security, and autonomous technology initiatives by integrating Foresight’s high-resolution visible light/infra-red and neuromorphic event-based sensor suite.
