(NASDAQ:VWAV) ("VisionWave" or the "Company"), a developer of advanced AI-driven sensing, RF, and defense-related technologies, today announced the establishment and full acquisition of VisionWave IL Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary based in Israel for nominal consideration.

Leadership Appointments – Adir Sabag, as CEO of VisionWave IL Ltd., will lead the subsidiary's operations, including business development, engineering coordination, and local execution of strategic initiatives.

Oren Attiya, through his consulting firm, will support the subsidiary's financial infrastructure, including accounting, reporting, and compliance functions, contributing to the Company's ongoing commitment to disciplined financial oversight.
