AirNet Notified by Nasdaq Regarding Stockholders’ Equity Shortfall
BEIJING, May 16, 2025 – AirNet Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: ANTE) announced today that it received a notification on May 13, 2025, from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff stating the company is not compliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). This rule requires a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. AirNet’s stockholders’ equity, as reported in its Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, falls below this minimum. Furthermore, the company does not currently meet alternative compliance standards based on the market value of its listed securities or net income from continuing operations.
The notification does not immediately affect the listing of AirNet’s American depositary shares on Nasdaq. The company has been given 45 calendar days, until June 27, 2025, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity standard. AirNet will work with its advisors to create a compliance plan, which, if accepted by Nasdaq, could grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notification letter.
AirNet is disclosing the receipt of the notification from Nasdaq via this press release in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a).
