Obai debt swap, city deal push Our Bond stock higher in active trade

New York, June 16, 2026, 14:04 (ET)

  • Our Bond shares rose after the company did a $3.3 million debt-for-equity swap, pricing the new shares higher than where the stock has been trading.
  • The company said it will roll out service citywide, reaching around 270,000 residents.
  • The rally has improved sentiment. Still, OBAI remains speculative as losses continue, dilution risk lingers, and the balance sheet is stretched.

Shares of Our Bond, Inc. jumped Tuesday, with OBAI trading as high as $1.27 and most recently quoted at $0.9911, up roughly 85% from Monday’s $0.5346 close. More than 403 million shares changed hands as traders responded to news of a fresh balance-sheet restructuring and a municipality-backed rollout of the company’s AI security platform. Investors focused on these company updates, looking past the broader market and betting on better liquidity and growth prospects.

Our Bond said Ascent Partners Fund LLC will swap around $3.3 million of promissory notes for Series G convertible preferred stock. Convertible preferred is senior to common and can be converted into common shares, which can dilute existing holders. The set conversion price is $2.0265 per share, more than 200% higher than where the stock has traded recently, according to the company. The notes are to be marked paid in full on closing. GlobeNewswire In a separate SEC filing, Our Bond said the preferred pays a 10% annual dividend, has a 9.99% beneficial ownership cap, and includes redemption and anti-dilution protections.

Later Tuesday, the second catalyst hit when Our Bond said a city—still unnamed—bought licenses for about 270,000 residents in a program paid for by the municipality. The company called it validation for its B2G2C model: business to government, then to residents. CEO Doron Kempel said the rollout “sets a precedent for this significant new market opportunity.” The company also said it’s working with more cities abroad. GlobeNewswire That point is key for the stock, since city contracts could produce repeat revenue and ramp more quickly than signing up consumers one by one.

Bulls point to debt relief easing short-term strain, a premium conversion price as a vote of confidence, and city deployments setting up Our Bond for bigger contracts. The company says it has about $10 million in ARR and posted $10.5 million in first-quarter bookings. Next up, Kempel’s investor webinar on June 17 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern—he’s set to talk new developments around demand. GlobeNewswire

Bears haven’t gone away after the run. Our Bond booked Q1 revenue of $2.347 million, coming in with a net loss at $6.703 million. Operating expenses ran to $6.422 million. Cash at March’s end was $3.758 million, while total liabilities were $16.131 million and stockholders’ deficit hit $14.973 million. The firm burned $4.410 million in operating cash over the quarter. That’s why talk keeps coming back to funding, changes to debt, and the risk of dilution ahead.

OBAI jumped Tuesday, but the stock still looks risky despite the gain. The fresh deal helps debt and could give OBAI a new city channel, though the story is still about execution—turning deployments into real revenue, managing cash use, and keeping dilution in check from preferreds, warrants, and future capital. Right now, some confidence is back after the news, but OBAI needs to show it can deliver on this city deal and update the market with real financial traction.
