Miami, FL, Dec. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ONAR Holding Corporation (OTCQB: ONAR) (“ONAR” or the “Company”), an AI-powered marketing platform and network of specialist agencies, today announced that it has retired approximately $311,000 of outstanding debt through a voluntary conversion into ONAR common stock by certain noteholders.
The transaction reduces ONAR’s debt and future interest expense, simplifies its capital structure, and further aligns long-term capital partners with shareholders as the Company integrates and scales recent acquisitions, including JUICE and Retina.
“This is another deliberate step in cleaning up our balance sheet while we build a much larger company,” said Claude Zdanow, CEO of ONAR. “When lenders choose to become shareholders, it’s a clear signal that they believe in the value we’re creating. Coming on the heels of the JUICE and Retina deals, this conversion shows confidence in our plan to build a scaled, AI-powered marketing platform for mid-market brands.”
ONAR is focused on using its balance sheet more efficiently as it grows an integrated, AI-driven marketing ecosystem. The Company’s platform combines specialist agencies with proprietary analytics tools designed to help brands grow revenue by predicting high-value customers early and optimizing performance across channels in real time.
Zdanow added, “Our strategy is simple: acquire profitable, specialist agencies, plug them into our shared technology stack, and use AI to make every campaign more intelligent and efficient. Each acquisition becomes more valuable once it’s integrated into the platform. Reducing debt while we execute on that strategy puts us in a stronger position for the long term.”
The Company expects to continue exploring opportunities to improve its capital structure while investing in technology, integration, and future acquisitions across its network.
