Ondas x DZYNE

Key points:
Ondas is acquiring DZYNE Technologies in an $875.8 million deal.
Deal structure:
$200M cash
~$675M in Ondas stock
More than half of the stock consideration is subject to a 6-month lock-up.
DZYNE is projecting:
$191M revenue in 2026
$300M revenue in 2027
Ondas has increased its 2026 revenue guidance from $390M to $525M following the DZYNE and Ominisys acquisitions.

Is this as big of a deal as it looks?

Do you think Ondas is building something genuinely special, or are they taking on too much too quickly?

Are the projected revenue numbers realistic?

Would love to hear both the bullish and bearish views.

Salary Review

Pay review coming up - salary increase, car benefit, or something else?

I'm in the Marketing/eCommerce industry earning around $100k+ plus a performance bonus.

I've got a pay review coming up and I'm trying to work out the best way to maximise my overall remuneration package and after-tax income.

Some context:

* Office-based management role
* Very little work-related travel
* Currently drive an older car that's getting to the point where I'll probably need to replace it in the next few years
* Several other managers in the business have company vehicles as part of their package - they will likely move over to the new EV cars. My company has just purchased the existing cars as they were at the end of the lease.
* The company is moving towards EVs and vehicle-related benefits - FBT exemption for EV’s

My initial thought was to push for a salary increase, but I'm conscious that a decent chunk of any increase (and my annual bonus) disappears in tax.

For those who have been through similar-level pay reviews:

* Would you focus purely on a higher salary?
* Is access to a company vehicle or EV program potentially more valuable?
* Are there any tax-effective remuneration benefits that are commonly overlooked?
* If you were in my position, what would you be negotiating for to maximise overall value rather than just gross salary?

My initially thinking was to recommend the purchase of the lease car they suggest purchased at a discounted price e.g. valued at $27k suggest I purchase it at a discounted price.

I hate asking for things but other employees are getting more benefits than me currently, partially as they have been there longer. However, I have more experience/knowledge in the industry.

Keen to hear what others have done and what ended up being the best outcome financially.
