Drone Aviation Secures an Additional $2.0 Million in Capital, Completing Private Placement Raising an Aggregate of $4.0 Million

JACKSONVILLE, FL – Drone Aviation Holding Corp. (OTCQB: DRNE) (“Drone Aviation” or the “Company”), a developer of specialized, tethered aerial monitoring and communications platforms serving national defense and security customers, today announced that it completed an additional equity raise, securing an additional $2.0 million through a private placement of common stock to certain accredited investors including members of the Company’s management. The Company’s most recent capital raise follows an initial closing of $2.0 million of new equity capital announced on January 8, 2019 for an aggregate of $4.0 million.

The proceeds from the $4.0 million in equity capital raised will be utilized to fund production and staffing as well as for general working capital following the receipt of a $3.8 million contract award announced in early January 2019. The completed capital raise, along with the recent elimination of all the Company’s convertible debt, are key elements of management’s strategic growth plan.

“As a leading investor in this private placement, I am proud to say that we have secured the necessary capital to begin production on our largest and most significant government contract, capping a transformative month for Drone Aviation,” said Jay Nussbaum, Chairman and CEO of Drone Aviation. “Supported by this new funding, we are executing on our strategic plan to scale the business and I am confident in our ability to deliver to our customers in the military and those charged with protecting our nation.”
