On December 30 2025, Arbe Robotics Ltd. announced that it had successfully completed a $15.7 million private‑placement follow‑on of its Series A convertible bonds, bringing the total escrowed balance to $24.3 million. The new issuance was approved by bondholders and carries the same terms as the original bonds, including a reduced interest rate of 4.35% that takes effect on January 1 2026 and an extended maturity date of December 31 2026.
The financing is a critical step for a company that remains pre‑revenue and has been burning cash at a rate that requires a robust runway. As of September 30 2025, Arbe held $52.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, but Q3 2025 results showed a net loss of $11 million on revenue of $0.3 million, up from $0.1 million in Q3 2024. The new capital injection therefore provides the liquidity needed to continue heavy investment in research and development of its 4D imaging radar platform and to support a potential production ramp‑up.
Investors reacted positively to the announcement, reflecting confidence in the company’s ability to secure additional financing on favorable terms and to sustain its growth trajectory. The bondholder approval and the interest‑rate reduction signal strong support from existing investors, while the extended maturity gives Arbe more time to convert the debt into equity or to refinance under more favorable market conditions.
CEO Kobi Marenko said, “We are very pleased with the successful expansion of our Series A Convertible Bonds, which reflects the strong support we continue to see from our investors. The successful conclusion of the expansion process, which we launched following requests from our bondholders, enhances our financial flexibility and provides additional resources to support the execution of our long‑term growth strategy.”
The financing underpins Arbe’s broader strategy to bring its high‑resolution 4D imaging radar to market. The company has recently secured a design win with a China‑based state‑owned automaker for an L4 autonomous vehicle program, with production slated for December 2026. The additional capital will help Arbe meet the engineering and production milestones required for that customer and other prospective OEMs, while the lower interest cost reduces the financial burden of its debt portfolio.
In summary, the $15.7 million follow‑on extends Arbe’s capital base to $24.3 million, reduces its borrowing cost, and provides the financial runway necessary to advance its 4D radar technology and secure key automotive customers. The event represents a significant milestone in the company’s journey from early‑stage development to commercial deployment.
